All the posts advocating for combining baking soda and vinegar for cleaning.

Irrelevant - the title and graphic says "developers".

Really? Has Valve abused their position to specifically further entrench their monopoly or other anti-consumer behavior?

There was a time I would have agreed with that comparison but Google has sucked for a while.

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!

There are some blatant disinformation peddlers on Lemmy and it seems like Grue and yimby should have that reputation because the developed area in the second pic barely overlaps that of the first. How could this be anything but intentional?

Here's a side-by-side with as close as I could get with current imagery:

Identified in each is the 1910 Harris County Courthouse which is many blocks away from the are of the second pic.

Here's a comparison of the two and an intermediate perspective from modern imagery. The approximate area of the two pics are outlined in different colors, and a few buildings that are common in all three have been lettered. These are now some of the smaller buildings in the downtown area. It makes sense that lower-density / less-efficient buildings would be replaced with more modern structures (though one of them was replaced with a park 💚🌳). The implication from initial juxtaposition of the original pics that a bunch of tall buildings were torn down to make parking lots is a flat out lie.

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.
