Maybe in programming or technical documentation, but no, when I check the date I want to know the day and the month, beyond that, it's all unnecessary information for everyday use, and we have it right in Europe.
I've always had long feet so I never even got long to wear kids shoes (and light up shoes weren't even around yet during the short time I did lol) and was so jealous of a friend of mine who had tiny feet and could wear all the cute and sparkly and light up shoes she wanted long in to adulthood.
If it was me, I'd absolutely be buying all the fun shoes I could afford. 😂
I somehow managed to get through to a radio show that was having a giveaway, and answered their question correctly. I won tickets to a concert, and a load of their sponsor's merch. I was still young, but even then I knew my luck was shit, so I was really excited even though I didn't like the band I was going to see lol
Didn't matter.
The tickets arrived the day after the concert had happened, and the merch was all either factory seconds or used (so all slightly damaged in some way - a stain, an undone seam, a broken clasp). I tried calling to let them know, but all they did was send another load of damaged merch.
Off the top of my head, that's the one and only thing I've ever won.
Lmfao, you seriously underestimate the cognitive dissonance it takes to function at that level. If anything, he's probably even more convinced that he is the saviour of humanity than some random business owner.
The rich love convincing themselves (and the general population) that the working class and therefore society at large depends entirely on them and on their gracious "job creating" generosity to not only survive, but exist.
In reality it is the exact opposite that is true - without the workers to exploit, they are nothing, and if the workers of the world unite, we can get rid of them, and their oppressive systems, for good.
Imagine the shock and awe they would experience when that finally happens.
Lol at Errol Musk supposedly not being a piece of shit because he was a member of a progressive party at one point, undoubtedly to serve his own financial interests and reputation, and not because he suddenly decided that exploiting oppressed people in his emerald mine (and other businesses) was bad.
He also married his stepdaughter, who he raised groomed from when she was 4.
Meta have already tried, and in an almost unanimous move, users of the fediverse decided to defederate from them to not give them the opportunity to.
Of course they'll keep trying, but the whole point of decentralisation is that if or when that happens, those who don't want anything to do with it, just move on to a virtual space away from the corporation.
Sure, it sucks to always be "on the run", but at least here we can be, vs on a centralised network, where the corporations control 100% of it and we as users have no viable alternative.
To solve the core problem, FOR THE EU, THR ORGANISATION we have to curb the immense grip Big Tech has on our institutions and invest in independent digital alternatives.
They are categorically not interested in solving the core problem of society, and why and how we got to this point in the first place, but simply to maintain the status quo where they are the ones in control (which, while better than active fascism, has and always will be a placeholder for it, as long as they refuse to abolish capitalism).
Yeah, same, it wasn't a noticeable issue before, but suddenly I was getting loads of issues. Since I recently moved instances I thought it might be related, but clearly it's on their end and fedi-wide, and you're right, it is a shame not only because so many people use it, but so many people use it because it's a great alternative to the corporate options we generally have now (imgur and such).
I guess as with most things off the main stream, we just have to be a little more patient.
Keep in mind that that is out of date, bezos is now worth $60b more at $239.4b, with musk topping him at $433.9b. The 400 richest Americans now hold $5.4 trillion (vs 3.2 in the pixel scroller).

You can't change my mind. ¯(ツ)_/¯
