More than anything, the problem is apps.
True, its a real chicken and egg situation. No one what to use a platform without decent app support but no one wants to develop for a platform without any users.
This guide for the Lemmy dialect looks to be reasonably comprehensive:
Wouldn’t the markup be the same for gifs and any other image format?
came out of nowhere?
I don’t think anyone expected MS-DOS 4.0 (1986) to release under the MIT license in 2024
What steps can be taken to mitigate this?
Be an employer of choice. What can you do to make people want to work with you, not out of necessity but because you are better than the alternatives. (Pro tip: if you’re paying the lowest rate you’re allowed to without braking the law you better be offering some other incentive)
Neat
This is something I’ve taken for granted as per app volume control is integrated into the OS on Motorola phones and I’ve been using mid range Motorolas since the Moto G 4 in 2016 (they offer a reasonable price, reasonable performance, microSD card and headphone jack).
Then I was setting up a Samsung tablet last weekend and was horrified to see I had to use the Samsung store to download Sound Assistant for something I had just assumed was a standard OS feature for close to a decade.
In Australia they give (from largest to smallest):
Ingredients
- Carbonated Water
- Colour (150d)
- Food Acids (338, 330)
- Sweeteners (951, 950)
- Flavour
- Caffeine

For a Warriors game that would be reasonable, for most other titles its a bit much.
Xbox, PSN and steam accounts at this point have decades of saves and purchases tied to them. Some of these games are delisted and are not readily available elsewhere.
If either platform decided to throw in the towel that would represent a huge lose to a large number of people.
Boltgun is pretty cool
You don’t “buy” music. You buy a license to listen to that music for as long as the license issuer still owns that particular song.
Unless dealing with the artist or studio directly the license issuer also won’t “own” the song but rather have a license to sell and distribute the title.

I think I’ve heard that the USA federal gov is bigger than in the past, as in controlling more of an American’s life than in its history.
My first thought was that this is really two separate questions but then I realised a stat like this might answer both:
the number of public sector employees as a percentage of the total workforce.
(Its not considering the non-working population, and with variations to lifespan, unemployment, etc that may be relevant … I don’t know.)
And international comparison is available here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_public_sector_size
For a 30 year historical comparison of US data see figure 1.1 here:
https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60235#_idTextAnchor012
(My reading of the chart is that while total employment has gone up the state and federal public sectors have been pretty flat over that period. This would mean the public sector is currently a slightly smaller proportion of the total workforce compared to earlier in the chart.)
It looks like the Amazon region was experiencing less rainfall at the time with a corresponding shift towards drought tolerant species with parts of the region as savannahs !!

With a different rainfall profile the nutrient loss would have been vastly reduced.
Fun fact: The ecosystems of the Amazon Basin rely on around 27.7 million tons of Saharan Dust each year to replace the phosphorus that is washed away by the rains. Without this constant input the local soils would have been stripped of needed nutrients and would be unable to support the plants that currently thrive there.
I feel like I’ve seen this posted in this community before.
The souce link to the smbc.com homepage doesn’t make it any easier to evaluate.
That said, my seven year old son enjoyed it.
It can be interesting to see the questions that make it to hot questions.
