FedEx pilots reject 30% pay hike proposal, but a strike isn't imminent | CNN Business
  • Ah okay, thanks for explaining that to me. I didn’t have any context for this, but that makes sense. I hope they’re able to get everything they want.

    Spotify: "Adjusting Our Spotify Premium Prices"
  • This is exactly it. It seems like every service is raising prices with no noticeable improvement to the service itself. Hell, this would be easier to swallow if Spotify was going to pay artists more. There doesn’t seem to be any benefit to anyone other than Spotify’s bottom line, which I assure you, is doing just fine.

    FedEx pilots reject 30% pay hike proposal, but a strike isn't imminent | CNN Business
  • They turned down a 30% increase in both wages AND pension benefits? I’m very curious about what’s in the rest of that contract, because this sounds like it should have been a slam dunk.

    As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch
  • That’s exactly it. I saw a lot of people on Twitter today saying they’re only staying the fallout. It’s dumb, and yes, I’m part of the problem, though I’m staying only to update some connections on where I’m going.

    What something you actually miss from reddit?
  • Nothing, I’m still there, unfortunately. Fact is, there just isn’t that much engagement here, and smaller niche subs that I like will have new posts daily on Reddit, but will sometimes take a week or more.

    I like the idea of Lemmy quite a bit, and I appreciate the hell out of Memmy and Mlem (can’t decide what I like more), but I also am using Apollo still, and I may have to stick with that for a while.

    What was the dumbest way you ever injured yourself?
  • My eyesight isn’t great. I was looking for a bathroom in a restaurant, assumed I found a door, but instead of using my hands to push it like a normal person, I slammed my body into it, smashing my nose.

    Also, it wasn’t a door. It was just glass.

    Head hurt for the rest of the day, and I was bleeding for a bit too!

    Apple Music or Spotify? what do you use and why?
  • Spotify because I’ve been on it since it was in beta, so my music recommendations are really good. I just don’t really feel like starting over.

    I’m also grandfathered in with a deal where I get Hulu with it (Hulu has commercials but whatever, I don’t pay for it), so I don’t really feel like giving that up.

    What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid?
  • Questions like “When you’re sexing some sexy sex, how many sex do you sex?”

    Let’s keep the immature high school/sad old desperate man horniness out of here.

    *Permanently Deleted*
  • My first one was NES. I was just the right age in the late 80s to be caught in all of it. Funny thing is, I don’t remember asking for it. I think my parents just got me one, but I fell in love with games from that point on.

    Heck, my second system was the Genesis, and I didn’t ask, or know about it, either! One of the best memories I have of growing up.

    Went to the movies with family friends. When I came back, my dad had set up the Genesis and had Altered Beast playing on the tv. Coming from only knowing the NES, my mind was blown.

    Thanks for the excuse to walk down memory lane.

    Lemmy.ml has now blocked threads.net / Meta
  • Same. I just wish there was an easy way to transfer. I just found the communities I wanted and I don’t look forward to making a new profile and adding them all again.

    YSK: wefwef is a web app that look very similar to Apollo and works on both android and ios
  • That’s a bummer. Hope you can get in soon. It is very similar to Wefwef, as they’re both going for Apollo, so you basically have the gist of it. They both have been getting frequent updates, so I flip flop on which I prefer. It’s been Wefwef until today, but right now, I think Memmy is slightly edging it out.
