In HS trig class I asked the teacher what was the actual logic behind the tan function, and she said "well it's just programmed into your calculator" and I said I realized that but how did it work, she told me to go ask the AP calc teacher.

The YouTube viewing experience on FF is terrible. I have premium no ads and still manage to break the interface occasionally by clicking a new video or seeking the video playing.

The part about remote work that has caused things to stagnate is that most companies still aren't setup to hire out of their own state. So it's not done much to open the gate to opportunities that are a great fit and can be done remotely, because I'm in the wrong state. And there's still an attitude of "what would somebody in that place possibly know about things here". The likelihood I will ever be domiciled in the same place as where my perfect job happens to be is super unlikely. This is 95% employers just discriminating based on location because they don't want to do paperwork or have an open mind and 5% not having the benefit of in-person collaboration.

This is definitely how they do it, as someone who has a Walmart account and usually buys through the app. If I buy something in store with one of my linked cards, it stores the receipt in my account (and then asks me to review it)

Because I'm an admin of multiple Azure tenants so I have the main one logged in on Firefox and the other one on Waterfox.

Isn't that supposedly the plan?

If they want to "avoid censorship" (aka put things online they know others find offensive) then those instances should just never turn on federating from the beginning. Because then they cry afoul later when they can't blast their messages to other instances anymore.

Don't do the work of monopolizing for them! The great thing about the fediverse is that we can all spread out and it doesn't really affect the user experience but it sure makes it a lot harder for wall street to buy a large portion of the network.

I've used it for a few years and I like it, I pay once per year and it's the same T-Mobile service. There's no roaming though so I always get a local esim when I travel abroad. Kind of iffed T-Mobile just bought them though. They say oh we're actually keeping prices the same and giving you more data (as mint has traditionally done every other year) but I have a feeling this will be the last data increase we'll ever see. And also some people complain about deprioritization but as a former T-Mobile customer I can tell you it's the same places like busy malls or stadiums where direct T-Mobile customers aren't having a good time either.

Exactly, they might play along in the beginning, even stretch it by putting all the non-Meta conversations in green text. But once their instance becomes the largest one, they'll start making it difficult for everyone else.

Since we're only talking about a week timeline here, would it be possible to update the sync app with a list of popular Lemmy instances and a way to view your favorite one from a web view within the app? That way people could still use sync in the meantime while native features gradually get rolled out.

I agree, as someone who saw reddit evolve from r/reddit.com to what it is today, it took about 4 years for them to really get to peak old reddit with the introduction of multireddits. Other than that most of the development has been in the third party apps, and really much of that development has been updating the apps to match the evolving OS design language rather than new reddit API endpoints. But we now have the advantage of having a minimum viable product and people with years of experience building and moderating communities.
