If more people lend books, libraries will buy more of them.

One thing I've learned is that people are extraordinarily reluctant to migrate away from MS Office.

Humans are habit creatures. That's probably why.

Maybe Office is "better".

They are doing a hell of a job given that one is from a mega corporation and the other from a bunch of volunteers.

Avoiding all this licensing nonsense is reason enough to prefer LibreOffice.

Thanks! We appreciate all feedback. Given everything happening in the U.S., it's more important than ever to strengthen the fediverse. That's why we started this instance.

We definitely need more admins and moderators, but for now, things are still in the early stages and quite manageable.

If your country communities allow the respective languages (besides English for addressing interested ‘outsiders’)...

That’s our long-term vision! But as you mentioned, we’ll need native-speaking moderators to make that possible.

If you're interested in helping, feel free to reach out. :)

In the suit, Amazon argues that the company should not have legal responsibility to recall and remedy consumers for unsafe products sold on its marketplace by third-party sellers. Amazon claims that it is just an intermediary and logistics provider for third-party sales, similar to a delivery service, not a distributor or retailer that has a legal responsibility to carry out recalls. The CPSC ordered Amazon to recall more than 400,000 unsafe products in July 2024, after more than three years of adjudication.

“Instead of demonstrating its commitment to consumer safety, Amazon has fought the CPSC every step of the way for more than three years, and now it’s going to court. The law is clear that Amazon is a ‘distributor’ in this case and must carry out a recall. It’s absurd to suggest that because a company hosts a marketplace online it should be exempt from sensible requirements that help get hazardous products out of people’s homes and prevent them from being sold. The court should reject Amazon’s arguments. Taking Amazon at its word would mean hazardous products slipping through the cracks, even when they are capable of injuring or killing people.”

How about teaching them to install Adblockers?

Electric car buyers don’t like right-wing politics. This means Elon Musk’s position at Tesla is very vulnerable and susceptible to economic pressure.

Brave. It has a great Adblocker built-in. Even on mobile.

We need a bot that automatically makes a comment when it drops another percent (translates to billions of dollars) or so 😂
