At least for cars sold in Europe often times they are still being assembled within the European Union even if in cheaper markets, so protections are still in place and strong. But cars are made of millions of components manufactured all over the world so there's always at least some human suffering somewhere along the chain.
In that time we've had new people come and experience a lack of apps, many that we do have today were still in the works a month or two ago. We've had performance issues, shitty Active sorting that still shows week old posts no matter how many times you refresh, we've had instances simply disappearing over night, we've had ddos attacks, we've had horrible content spam like CSAM and issues with extremism.
All of that with the cherry on top that signing up for Lemmy, understanding how it works and using it day to day is not as easy as a place like reddit. Who knows what the future holds for Lemmy.
Potentially interesting threads are often empty. It's more like having 50k people in a metropolis and your going door to door to try to find them. Often they cluster around particularly popular spots and that's it. Most of them are ghosts - they don't post anything.
That is what I'm already using. I have to hit hide read every time I refresh. I would like to have the read posts automatically hidden, instead of having to do this action every single time I start sync.
In top of the feed I only see the sorting, communities and instances buttons. I only know of adding buttons in the same menu where the normal "hide read" button I was talking about earlier is and there's no auto hide option there to add.
So in conclusion I am dumb and can't find where these options are. Please help!
That's a problem I notice with Lemmy. You can point search engines at specific instances but not all instances which makes finding content that's only present on Lemmy very difficult.
My experience with it is that it's better at finding good prices than other more popular websites because it shows prices that are closer to reality when you go to actually buy the tickets.
For work I used to have an agenda with notes but over time I realized it's impossible to actually keep organized and have the most important things be the most easy to find. I moved to onenote and never looked back.
For personal notes I use a tablet with pen because it's fun to write by hand without wasting trees and it still being digital it's easier to organize and move information around.
It's been better since moving away from lemmy.world, then Sync being available also helped a lot. But unfortunately as many have noted already, this is not as easy to get into for more casual users so it's heavily biased towards tech topics and communities. Smaller communities will probably take a lot longer to take off if at all and I'm sad about that loss so far.
They have in the past and then they decided, no, let's say it's too difficult and use it as one of the excuses to guarantee limited lifetime of a product.
I have the type that is basically a little shower head with a hose attached to the water supply next to the toilet. We use it to wash with soap after every toilet visit and it is fantastic. When I am away from it on holidays or trips I suffer.
