Really though, I don’t know why it never crossed my mind that the picture of Neptune was so… saturated. It’ll take a little bit to reconcile this new perspective of a “light bluish-green” Neptune. It’s just so jarring to alter a belief held since my childhood.
I imagine there were 2 primary reasons, one financial, one personal:
Number of heavy users (including a lot of mods) would’ve forced Christian to implement an open-ended cost model based on individual usage, or raise rates across the board to compensate, making it ultimately cost-prohibitive for the average user, and/or
Not wanting to communicate (by folding) such a change was okay. To move to a blanket cost model is to basically admit that you’re okay with and accept the changes.
Some might say it was pure stubbornness and greed, or conclude his decision was a bad one. That’s its own topic for debate I guess.
Agreed. I have 3 kids. My wife and I thought we’d raise them on only “healthy” food, but that didn’t stick around too long. Now, we try to prepare healthy food so it’s tasty and they’ll eat it. Instead of flat-out banning junk, or making it seem “evil,” we stress that things like soda, candy, and ice cream are indeed delicious, but having too much without also eating healthy will affect how you feel and grow. They still like junk, but they’re surprisingly good at self-regulating.
However… if he gets any prison time, you DM me and I’ll Venmo you $200, which I request you spend on a nice drink, and we will toast in honor of my being wrong. I’m seriously good for it.
I’m too jaded at this point. I’ve come to accept the orange man will never actually be punished.
If B=A, why would you ever think A=B?! Learn your logic, man! That’s on you.
Really though, the structure for the program is just so aggravating. I’m a Pardot man myself. (Sorry. “Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.”) Every time I try to get a client to go with it, the AE’s jump in and desperately try to throw in Mobile Studio and everything else Marketing Cloud. I always go back to the client behind the scenes and warn them that if they go that route, I won’t set it up. It’s not worth the pain.
That sucks man. There’s something especially upsetting knowing how and why a loved one died, and that there was nothing that could've been done differently.
My Grandpa died of thyroid cancer from these tests. He lived in south-central Utah and remembers feeling tremors from testing on his wedding day.
I hope this doesn’t come across as too “opportunist,” but I would really enjoy providing help with active fact-checking. Feel free to DM if you start looking for people to actively fill such a role.
I agree here. First, the idea of being cognizant of your biases can allow a potentially more unbiased opinion. For example, when consuming news media, one can recognize their preferred outcome, and perhaps spend some time getting “the other side of the story.” I’ve found doing so actually helps clarify certain issues or events, as the common thread between the two stories tends to be where the truth lies.
But there’s also the inherent desire for us to advance or evolve as humans. Bias isn’t necessarily “bad,” since that seems to indicate we’ve settled on something we think provides a net positive to ourselves or the species. It turns bad when we’re not willing to acknowledge the possibility there’s a better way.
So, I guess to sum it up, out the gate, I don’t think one can be truly unbiased, but I think one can learn the ability to make decisions with equal preference for both decisions. To live in a world of only bias is, imo, akin to evolutionary stagnation.
Welcome, Apollo friend! This community is young, but just as accepting. I hope you quickly feel as much a part of it as you did with Reddit. Thanks for posting and driving more active engagement. It goes a long way. :)
Rumor is that Twitter didn’t want to renew its Google Storage contract, but the migration to the new system is taking longer than expected. Now that it’s July 1, everything’s going to shit.
Who the FUCK is spez? Sounds like the name of some mentally deranged, wholly incompetent groomer. The only name I can think of that’s stupider is, idk, something like “Steve Huffman.”

I’m interested in helping out
That is a sacrifice I am willing to make!

Apocalyptically huge lawsuit, here we come!!!

Have read this yet, but I’ll absolutely give a +1 for the “fuck marketing cloud” sentiment. It’s like Salesforce bought it, then gave up on it.

How can one contribute to supporting Lemmy servers? Donations? Patreon?

Add it to your homepage as a shortcut, and it’ll behave as its own app (kinda). Glad it’ll work well for you!

Check out wefwef. It feels eerily similar to Apollo, albeit still a little buggy. It’s a web app.

Again, that’s the rumor.
