I think what this poll failed to reflect is people’s dislike for some of the alternatives.
I like B so little that I’ll have to stop having Voyager installed as a PWA.
With such a close race I would prefer if @aeharding would hold back a little and extend the search for a new icon until something with a clearer consensus appears.
So is MementoMori half bot, half human? I’ve blocked bots because they post so many articles of poor quality, but then you have people like this who also posts a lot of low quality posts without any opening comment, but is not marked as a bot and occasionally write some comments.
Lemmy and Tildes has really shown me how much more interesting information is when it’s given by a real person with some context or an opening post.
A news article posted by a bot to… farm karma on Lemmy?? It’s just noise. Many of such articles posted have clickbait titles and comments under them tend to have less value and are based around uniformed opinions coming from the (often misleading) title alone.
Quality aside, I guess I don’t really see the point. To who’s benefit are bot content posted? It feels like advertising to me. I’d like to think that the community are able to sustain itself by the content someone cared enough about to bother post it here.
In short, bot created content is noise to me, while content posted by real persons has value.
This got downvoted, but afaik it’s part of Lemmy and all your up and down votes are public.
Everyone should at least be made clearly aware of that, and one way would be to show it in the app.
I agree that I don’t want it, but as long as it’s post of Lemmy, it’s there regardless.
Maybe it can be displayed only on your own use profile to yourself with an explanation that this is public information that can be seen by others if they do X / use kbin.
I think it has been very useful with promotion of the various Lemmy apps coming out for iOS / macOS and don't mind them at all. Maybe they could be allowed for a time still so new apps in the space still get a fair chance to grow and become alternatives?
Lack of universal coverage. The piece argues that the only solution is universal coverage that is automatic, free and basic. The current U.S. system has many pathways to eligibility and coverage, resulting in many people falling through the cracks and remaining uninsured.
Incremental reforms are not enough. The authors argue that incremental reforms like extending coverage to more people or imposing minimum standards will not work. Over 50 years of such piecemeal policies have shown that this approach is not effective.
Coverage is complex and uncertain. Health insurance in the U.S. is complex, with many different plans and eligibility requirements. This leads to many people losing coverage or facing the risk of losing it. Even the Affordable Care Act did little to reduce this uncertainty.
Cost. While the U.S. spends more on health care as a percentage of GDP, only about half of that spending is financed through taxes. The authors argue that U.S. taxes are already paying for the cost of a universal basic coverage system, but Americans are not getting it.
I did pay for all seasons, but we could only get it legally through a horrible HBO Nordic app with insanely poor quality, so yeah I did also put in some effort in watching the series in a little more decent quality, but it’s just weird how low quality all streaming options were.
Yeah, it was great with more content. Or was it - so much of it is just stupid articles written as clickbait or strongly opinionated pretending neutrality.
And all the bad memes… really wish I could block communities my regex.
But I kept visiting Reddit while Apollo was up, so… and there are good Content here as well.
There are still more sane alternatives, like joining Beehaw and stick to local communities, or check out Tildes.
It’s a very reasonable choice to go with Bitwarden on the grounds that they have a longer track record with good audits and that you therefore trust them more.
Just don’t say that it is more secure unless you know it is so.
No, they are for some reasons called recalls. Didn’t Tesla recall their entire fleet this spring? It was solved by OTA updates.
