  • In the first half of 2023, shoplifting reports were 16% higher than the first half of 2019. New York City saw a 44% increase in shoplifting complaints between 2021 and 2022. New York and Los Angeles saw the largest increases in shoplifting from 2019 to 2023, with more than 60% increases.

    lol ok

    you think they are just locking stuff up for fun?

    • how do you even use twitter?

    Jump

  • it's a pretty simple app, what are you having issues with?

    • Robotic Putting Greens. Mixed Reality. Loud Spectators. This Is Golf?!

    Jump

  • it also doesn't factor in how these irrelevant attacks alienate people who might consider joining their cause.

    there are apparently over 25 million people in the US that play golf.

    If, for no reason, you insult them and their hobby, you've lost a ton of potential allies.

    Take this example I saw here a few days back:

    https://lemmy.world/comment/4964970

    A guy posts a picture of his motorcycle and some miserable sonofabitch comes in screaming at him:

    Thanks for adding more pollution to our climate. Asshole.

    Fuck that. Any person that intentionally pollutes the air should be publicly shamed and eviscerated.

    yea, great job, guy..

  • this golf course talking point is weird, even looking at the issue as an environmentalist myself.

    there are 2m acres golf courses in the US

    the US is 2.43b acres in size.

    Golf courses are 0.008% of US landmass.

    Well beyond a rounding error, but for some reason this is some people's #1 issue.

    • Google’s “Web Integrity” Android API could kill “alternative” media clients

  • the most frustrating part is when I search for a result I know exists, and I know that Google knows it exists, but it floods me with pages and pages of things it thinks I "should" see instead.

    • What’s the strangest unexplained thing that’s happened to you ?

    Jump

  • should probably at least give a search term so people can look it up.

    • Best Nova Launcher substitute?

    Jump

  • are you using gestures?

    I suspect that might cause a conflict.

    I use the 3 button nav on my phone.

    you could add a hotspot on the lower left and right sides.

    • The new Twitter is becoming a cesspit of disinformation

  • nice job quitting bro 😎

    • What are some creative ways that you save money?

    Jump

  • A good tip about 401k is to increase it by 1% every year, you'll never notice the change and continue saving more and more.

    • The vanishing of the small high-end smartphone

    Jump

  • If you look at the S or iPhone series you'll see that the larger versions sell far far more.

    • Kendrick Lamar's company just dropped a limited-edition 'dumb' phone. It's already sold out.

    Jump

  • many dumphones have these functions.

    calculator and GPS is not what most people think of from the phrase "a bunch of apps"

    • Software devs, I need advice

    Jump

  • just to give an argument for the option most folks are not choosing.

    I work for a huge old company and here are some of the benefits:

    • Good pay
    • Great work/life balance. putting in over 40hrs/week is unheard of, no crunch time
    • Size of the company allows for movement to different tech areas
    • Very stable, great job security

    Now granted, we are totally WFH, don't think I would be willing to do an in-person job with a suit every day, but there is an argument to make for making more money when you're younger that you can start investing early.

    The lack of bleeding edge tech could also be used to your advantage if you could spearhead leading a more modern initiative.

    I'm not sure how large the pay difference is, but it sounds like your heart is leaning towards the start up.

    In the end, you'll just have to weigh the positives and negatives and figure out what you truly want.

    • Looks like Facebook is following youtube with anti-adblock measures.

    Jump

  • pretty bold of them.

    at least youtube actually offers a valuable service in return.

    Jump

  • it's not that you want to, but rather that the companies want to charge you $100 more for $5 of ROM.

    • The vanishing of the small high-end smartphone

    Jump

  • the sad reality is many people will say they want a small phone like this, but then not buy it for some reason or another, then they sell less, and so companies abandon making them.

    I am a very happy owner of a ZF10 too, lovely device.
