I had the same issue with my 3. Took advantage of one of the offers Samsung had to trade in even with a cracked screen. They gave me $600 towards a Fold 5. I bought my 3 used for $800, so I was only out ~$400 to go from a 3 with a broken internal screen to a new 5. Still very happy with the 5, but I get why you wouldn’t trust Samsung again.

I had a Galaxy Fold 5. I had a Fold 3 before this. I bought the 3 used for $800 to try out the form factor. The screen on the 3 split, but Samsung still gave me $600 in credit towards a Fold 5. No hardware issues with the 5. I doubt I’ll ever go back to a smaller phone because of the work related tasks I can do with the additional screen real estate.

For me the killer app is being able to review VRT failures. Before the Fold, I had to have a tablet or my laptop handy to avoid potential delays. Now I can review a VRT failure anywhere. This has allowed to spend more time with my kids. Worth every penny.

So phtn.app and vger.app are things you’ve said out loud to another human are they? And how did that go?

It can be, but a large percentage of WP installs aren’t even blogs that manage posts over time. They are basic 20-30 brochure-ware sites that use WP as a page builder.

WP is popular with .edu sites where they are managing thousands of structured content types; faculty profiles, academic programs, events, etc.

Drupal is also a popular solution for that type of project where managing a large amount of structured data is a key feature.

My experience has been that WP needs to “built up” to handle large site while Drupal needs to “burned down” to be a good fit for small, page building projects.

Though Drupal’s new preconfigured Drupal CMS installer with “recipes” for different use cases is making it a better option for smaller site projects.

The amount of design elements (HTML beyond text markdown like divs) and pseudocode (elements that only render when parsed before delivering to the browser) that end up in the content is something to consider. Enabling a text editor alone does not tell you much. You can support easier bold, italic and strike though with a structured data approach.

It’s when you get into creating layouts in the editor that really differentiants a page builder from a content management solution.

I’ve tried to use the “it’s just a game” argument to try to get friends out of a funk when “their” team lost.

It does not go well.

Not being a passionate supporter of any specific city or color of costumes, I have a hard time empathizing with someone who made the game part of their identity.

To many people, it isn’t just an app anymore than it is just a game. It is part of who they are and they are emotionally invested in being a fan of specific TikTok “stars” in a way a non-fan can never really understand.

@Cris_Color@lemmy.world being nice helps establish the “tone”, but I’m not sure that wouldn’t change with another “API event” on Reddit that results in another, larger mass migration.

Another suggestion I have for college graduates is to ask your alma mater if they are going to start using something other than commercial social to engage with alumni.

Most universities don’t want to make mistakes investing in the bleeding edge, but they are quick to follow. When a few schools do something, many more quickly copy that. They are also looking for low cost wins. Their engagement numbers are already telling them that Xwiiter no longer works to reach alumni or potential students.

If even a handful of alumni suggest a change at the right time, that is often enough to get them to give federated social a try.

That is when the less toxic “tone” really helps.

@Angry_Autist@lemmy.world

@Cris_Color@lemmy.world

It is only “free” if you choose not to pay. Unlike commercial social that’s free for you to use BECAUSE you are the product being sold, federated social is only free to you because someone else is paying.

I completely agree that mass adoption requires well primed communities which requires early adopters to put more effort into engaging.

I would also add that clicking on anything linked helps too… Many news outlets are data driven. If you want them to invest more with federated social, click the links so the engagement shows up in their analytics.

@01011@monero.town So if I’ve illegally downloaded every paper and book published by Matthew Sag, Zahr K. Said, Jessica Silbey and Rebecca Tushnet and used that content to create an app that would output legal briefs in their voice saying whatever someone was willing to pay me to make it say, that is now legal? Or would that not qualify as “transformative” as shilling for $$$ is what lawyers have been doing for centuries?

While CO put Lauren Boebert on the world stage, we are generally down to ignore federal authority. Rember when marijuana was illegal? Unfortunately that would require getting Montana, Idaho and/or Nevada on board. Seems unlikely.

@dominiquec@lemmy.world

@MemmingenFan923@feddit.org can confirm. My son bought a set that was missing on of the bags. Filled out a form and uploaded a picture of the box + what he had built so far and the remaining bags. 48 hours later, we had the missing bag and he was back to building.

So many other brands wouldn’t even respond to something like that. You’d have to take it back to where you bought it for a refund, buy another set and start the build again.

Lego customer service understands that their product is more than colored plastic.

@JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee isn’t part of the point of ActivityPub to avoid vendor lockin/single point of billionaire enshittification? I read and interact with a fair amount of Lemmy content through an Mbin instance.

You can already limit Google using site:[DOMAIN].

If every ActivityPub driven service used a common TLD like .edus, you’d be able to limit results to that facet of Google’s index, they don’t. If they did, we’d be back to a single point of failure.

Google supports limiting searches to content using a Creative Commons license based on the licensing metadata in the URL. ActivityPub content already has the metadata, but it took a decade to generate enough content before Google offered the option to filter searches by CC-BY-SA… and Google was a VERY different company back then.

@Yazer@lemmy.ca there is also the 50501 group organizing protests in all 50 states April 5.

As others have commented, there haven’t been protests this large and often in the US since the Vietnam War. Organizing this takes time. Organizing without using billionaire owned services with questionable privacy policies takes even longer… but it is happening.

@Yazer@lemmy.ca my kids didn’t have school yesterday because their teachers were protesting.

@SPRUNT@lemmy.world the recent college athlete image likeness settlement couldn’t happen at a worse time for public schools who have to disclose these payments. Can you imagine having a PhD and teaching physics for 1/4 of what a school is paying a teenage who catches balls well?

@wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io fair point. The Biden recovery wasn’t raising all boats equally, but effort was being made to stimulate job creation in many parts of the economy. Not only have programs and grants that created jobs had their funding disrupted, we are now “potentially” paying 65K of the 2.1 million federal employees not to work for 7 months? I stress “potentially” as Elon made the same offer at Twitter and then just didn’t pay.

@CapriciousDay@lemmy.ml we already did this a decade ago with the Do No Evil license in https://www.json.org/license.html and learned the approach is not compatible with FOSS. Projects have added a layer of accountability with contributor agreements, but those only limit your ability to participate in the development of the project directly. They don’t limit your rights to do what you want with the code.

The thing about history is if you don’t want your name associated with homeless Trump Towns in every city in America, maybe don’t take a healthy economy and run it into the ground. Maybe don’t let a PE hack who has never built anything like Tom Krause near the institutions the American people rely on.

@moseschrute@lemmy.world sometimes it takes letting it play out for people to remember the leason that history could have thaught them. Do your best now to prepare for some tough times. If you own your home outright, get that basement ready for a renter. If you’ve already leveraged 80% of your home, get out from under that NOW and look for a basement to rent.

Read some Steinbeck. Watch Idocracy. Strike up a conversation with the oldest people you cross paths with about what they remember their parents telling them about the great depression. It’s going to suck, but when someone can convince this many Americans to vote against their own interests their is a more fundamental problem.

I personally take a little joy from the interveiws with people laid off who didn’t realize the company they worked for was producing products for federally subsidized clean energy initiatives.
