They passed some regulation setting the time replacement parts have to be available for devices. 10 years I think. And replacement batteries are mandatory. Both are big wins for repairability.

How was the show?

I guess buying my apartment at the time I bought it. Got great mortgage rate and a good price. Fast forward 2 years, the rates are 6 times higher and prices are least 50% up. Turns out I hit a historic low.

Here's what I think happened: we got used to shitload of content and personal pages couldn't keep up.

My first experience with the internet was a dial-up modelm. It wasn't cheap so we were basically counting minutes. In a short session I would check my email, download new winamp skin, open a link some friend send me and maybe visit some chatroom. That's it. Back then each page was a gem because the content was super rare. For example I could download all the Monty Python sketches. Where would you find them if not on some obscure website? They didn't have it in the library.

Then broadband happened so you could spend hours online. People started forming small communities and curating content. bash.org and similar pages happened. We started getting used to opening a link daily and seeing new funny pics and memes.

Finally corporations realized that to keep people on a page it has to show something new every fucking second and social media happened. Today we spend more time online than offline and refresh some pages every 15 minutes to see what's new. Static, personal pages can't keep up. Yes, you can create a Melisandre fan page, paste couple of pictures and start writing some fan fiction but who will read it? 30 years ago if I found such website I would save every single pick to disk and put a link to the page on www.myhomepage.com/links but today? It's pointless. It's all already on IMDB, one ddg search away. Personal pages are not the rare gems they used to be.

That's were all the pages are...

Actually, you're just reducing complex issue of exercising power over other countries to "colonialism" than trying to criticize people correctly recognizing this issue as "radicals". Most of what you listed can be directly linked to western countries destabilizing other regions by military or covert actions, installing puppet governments, using their influence to steal resources and keeping other economies in check so that they don't develop into competitors. No one thinks that it's all because some country was a colony 200 years ago. Western influence never really ended in most of those countries and that's what is keeping them down.

Who knows what's happening in their heads... but my guess is they think that once the '3rd party people' fall back in line they will regain the lead so they don't have to worry. And the rest is Biden being as establishment as you can get so obviously he's not interested in any radical policy changes.

My heat pump can be controlled by an app but it all goes through an external web page for some reason so I noped out of it.

Looks like Synthetics and Cottons at 60° and 1200RPM. But my guess is that all programs will send data.

I know how you feel but you have to understand that the memes are not about you personally. We know that most Americans on lemmy are the cool ones. The ones that don't have guns and are not afraid of socialism. The memes are about the other Americans and, you know, we're just joshing. I though that's obvious, that's why I asked why everyone is suddenly so touchy about it. Usually the cool Americans are in on the joke. Now they are all sensitive about it. It's just weird.
