Kind of, but they are misunderstanding the saying. It refers to the fact that if the available supply of current (maybe it should say power?) is sufficiently limited, it is possible for a person's body to conduct hundreds of thousands to millions of volts without pain or injury.

That said, high voltage behaves different and there are a lot of factors that make it unsafe.

I agree. It'd obviously be the best experience for the customer if they could choose whichever store/launcher they want to buy on and not have to worry about having to pay more if they don't shop around. Like the tea with price printed on the can so it's consistent.

These companies maintain that even though you possess a PDF, you still do not own it and do not have the rights associated with ownership.

Apple absolutely does collect personal data from its users and uses that data to target advertising. They openly disclose this in their policy statements.

Stating that

They do not profit off your data

is unjustifiable when Apple makes BILLIONS from advertising.

They also have been fined by European regulators when their practices ran afoul of privacy law.

Just because they're not as bad as Google (quite a low bar) it doesn't mean they're as good as they try to sell you on.

This is an absolutely braindead lazy take.

The same professional journalists who've worked at these big media corporations have used the substack platform to open up sites in droves so they can focus on more niche topics, or just escape the censorship of owners and advertisers.

If you think that legitimate news can only come from a company owned by billionaires, then you're wrong.

Oh, so Rust is like JavaScript!

Ummm

This is the equivalent of saying that MS Outlook is a community. It's not and neither is Lemmy. Each server has its own rules, and each community on those servers can add rules beyond that.

Address a specific community or server, there's no central control over the fediverse.

How many cops has she arrested or ticketed? This is a foundational component of the calculation.

Almost every state requires some manner of concealed carry permit

Are you intentionally untruthful or just ignorant?

Is your definition of "almost every" LESS THAN HALF?

These are facts which are easy to look up and here you are spreading misinformation.

One way would be by implementing features the Lemmy devs have no interest in such as better interoperability with other fediverse platforms. If any added feature turns out to be well received and in demand, it would pressure the others to implement similar.
