How do you go out of your way to support snaller businesses?
  • The last time Amazon Prime Shipping actually took 2 days for me was pre-COVID. Now, it says 7 days but last time I ordered, it took 9 days.

    Last time I bought from AliExpress, it took... 9 days. It just depends on where you're shipping from and the available shipping options. They're advertising free 12-day shipping and I've had multiple instances of items arriving early.

    How do you go out of your way to support snaller businesses?
  • I've effectively stopped shopping on Amazon. Almost everything is available by another, smaller website that has way faster shipping since Prime Shipping is a complete farce now.

    Even the weird niche stuff can be found somewhere like Walmart. AliExpress, too. Which, at the rate Amazon is going, will soon have faster ship times too.

    Opinion | What Makes Jack Smith’s New Trump Indictment So Smart
  • He is no doubt going to try spinning this into a talking point for his election campaign. The same old "they're only punishing me because they're crooked demonrats" and all that shit

    How safe is open source software? What are the general benefits?
  • Except Chromium can still access the Chrome extension store. The VSCode extension store is not included with the OSS version, which seriously hampers the usefulness of the app.

  • I caught a lot of flak for buying my Black and Decker Matrix set but it's been very solid for me for a few years. Granted, I only use my tools a couple of time a month on average. But it sure is handy to have a drill that's also an impact driver and also an air compressor and uses the same batteries as my weed whacker and leaf blower.

    I supports women's wrongs
  • It's a play on the phrase "Well-behaved women seldom make history" which comes from a 2007 book by the historian Laurel Ulrich. Because no one read the book for the context, the quote itself became popular, taking on different meanings based on however individuals choose to represent it.

    When it was added to the lexicon of basic white girls, it naturally became productized into shirts, mugs, neon signs, etc.

    Threads attracts 30M users in 24 hours despite design flaws, privacy concerns | Ars Technica
  • It's because Musk sniffs his own farts and has bullshitted his way into more and more money his entire life. He wanted to morph Twitter into the platform he wanted, but also tried to make it net a profit, by 1) fucking over people/companies to whom he owed money, and 2) trying to squeeze money out of users who had used the platform for free for over a decade.

    He's one of those asshole kids who start bum fights, but he's trying to get the bums to pay him for participating and he's not paying out to the bettors who won.

    Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off
  • How many people had heard of Bending Spoons before they bought Evernote? They're a software company but I'd never heard of any of their apps before, either.

    What is Hexbear and how its story intertwines to Lemmy's?
  • Chapo Trap House was (is?) a far-left/socialist political podcast and r/ChapoTrapHouse was the associated subreddit.

    I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can fill in the details. I just vaguely remember hearing about the sub getting banned

    Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?
  • As many others have said, I use BitWarden and really like it. I used LastPass for years and years, but I switched when the price of premium literally tripled and they needed the free tier to being almost unusable.
