Increasingly across many markets, companies are not targeting average or median consumers. They're only chasing whales, the people who can pay the premium. They've decided that more mid tier customers aren't worth it -- just chase the top. It also means a lower need for customer support.

Besides a media server, I self host my email, a blog, an IRC bouncer, syncthing, SPFToolbox, and in my house I run ADS-B plane tracking.
I made note of a handful of local businesses I will never patronize again.
There's your answer: they're all primarily Facebook users only. Facebook is mostly AI garbage, besides private groups.
My aunt does. It's so she can squint less at the phone screen, and have bigger buttons on the touchscreen. She's not old, and she wears contacts, but she likes the extra screen real estate.
Europe has a 'real opportunity' to take in Americans fleeing Trump. Is it ready for a 'brain drain'?
My employer offers visa sponsorship to employees wanting to migrate to the Netherlands. Once I meet the tenure requirements (a little over a month left), I intend to start the process. My spouse and kid are onboard. We've already started learning Dutch and made a week-long trip there a couple weeks ago to make sure we would like it.
This is open extortion using the power of the executive branch. Literally providing free services in order to not be targeted by an elected leader? Yikes.
Python Mk2. Great handling, very tough. It lets me do everything possible in a combat ship without compromises.
I used to be a committed multirole ship user, doing everything in my Cutter and before that Anaconda, Clipper, Python, AspX, etc. But these days I'm entirely specialized.
If I'm not flying the Python Mk2, I'm flying my Type 8 to do Power Play. SCO boost, maneuverable for a freighter, lots of cargo space and slots for various tasks.
I've been running a Mastodon server since 2017. I've been aware of Lemmy and Kbin, but was waiting until it was clear which platform was going to have more community. I've been disillusioned with Reddit for some years.
I voted R exactly once in a local race. In the previous election during the Tea Party wave, an utter nutcase ousted the usual Republican for the party nomination for county judge. The guy was a menace, the worst, and was openly corrupt. In the next primary, the usual Republican won the primary, but the nutcase decided to run as an independent. I voted for the R once and only once, to keep the nutcase from getting a second term.
