Last time I checked, cargo eBikes are 3500€ and up, so in that context it isn't that outlandish. Is still not something I'd get over an actual cargo eBike.

Maybe it's for people with higher end bikes, or those that don't have the room for multiple bikes?

Wasn't recall supposed to be disabled by default and opt-in when it re-releases? At least that's what I heard like a month or so ago.

Edit: clarification/typo

Both yes and no. The store is part of a chain, and orders it's supply from them, who send out trucks from central warehouses (some exceptions may apply, like local eggs/milk or produce/fruit, or frozen goods), with only what is needed at that time. They know when and how much they usually need (typical weekly, or annually for holidays and such), and what they will have room for. Due to order volumes of the chain and purchasing power at that volume, including attached contracts, this usually works out. If not, some shelves might be empty, it happens.

Keep in mind that the warehouse aren't days away, and do have supply. How quickly they can get stuff in depends, but might be "tomorrow" if needed. Also friends if a delivery is already scheduled and/or if it has room and so on.

I understand you're trying to be helpful, but don't assume others are in the same country as you. And don't assume it's the same everywhere as wherever you are.

There are employees, but if it happens to be crowded, they are all at the registers (unavailable for questions). If they are not, they are stocking some shelves somewhere, but it's 1 or at most 2 people in the whole store, so you can of course go find them, but you'll walk through most of the store until you do. There is no "in the back" anymore for stores around here, as they have very little to no storage. Everything goes straight to the shop floor, with just a sort of staging area (people only go there for literally seconds).

You're funny. Like there are any to ask. Finding one of those is probably the same effort as actually finding the item.

Yes at some point you realize the frankly absurd amount of time of your life spent walking around looking for things in them. Then you've found some or most of them only for them to move them again and start the whole time eating cycle once more. Imagine the cumulative time lost by all their customers from just one supermarket rearranging things.

Yes sure, completely ignore the 2nd point and focus on the example I even said was literally just the first search results.

Also to be clear, in not against using them or even recommending them, but I think there are better alternatives out there, and people seem to just default to recommending proton. Then again who knows, maybe it's good that we got a de-facto default recommendation/alternative to the big-tech offerings.

A relatively recent example, basically just one of the first search results.

Then there was the CEO endorsing Trump, or his politics, or one of the controversial nominees. It's been a while so I don't remember the exact specifics, but at the very least it caused quite a stir and caused backpedaling by the company (and the fact that it was from his personal x-account, not from the company).

EU also has very strong anti-spam laws (not sure how much is eu-level regulation and how much is local). It's probably been a decade since I received a spam call. I just reported it.

Is all open project, and it isn't paid. The origin no longer matters (to me). Is probably best described as a global project.

Depends on your date format. For it to be a problem to begin with, you need to use a date format with "/" as the separator. If it's 1st of Jan or Feb 1st then depends on the order.

And of course you need to enter an actual fraction, instead of like 0.5. This also narrows down the locations where this is an issue considerably. I think it's mostly north America where fractions are more commonly used instead of decimals die to the imperial system, but there might be other places where it's common, too, and I just don't know about it.

 

The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.

In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).

Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.
