The problem is that even if 90% of people don't need an SUV or truck, you can't tell if someone is in that 10% that does need it. You can't just look at an empty truck bed. Obviously nobody is gonna use their bed 100% of the time. They might have the truck for work purposes and also use it for personal use. They certainly shouldn't own multiple cars, cause that's even worse.

I 104% expect them to use Spez as a scapegoat at this point. Even if that wasn't their original intent, I fully expect that now they're letting the hate focus on him, then they'll fire him (don't worry, he'll still get a hefty severance package) in hopes that it will satisfy people. They want the anger many people have towards Reddit to get transferred to Spez.
After all, this is exactly how Spez ended up CEO. They pulled this with Ellen Pao.
I'm not sure how many people might have done that, but the overlays the person you're replying to mentions is not that. The overlays literally just show you what colour each pixel should be and a human must place the pixel. Those are used by tons of legit people. While I have no doubt that there is botting, large communities on Reddit can have millions of people. They only have to convince less than one percent of their most dedicated members to use an overlay and they'll be able to defend a sizable chunk of the canvas.
Yeah, the lack of many of my favorite niche communities makes me constantly wonder if I should just "suck it up" and go back to Reddit. I miss so many of them. If I wanna discuss a particular TV show or video game, often I just don't have much of an option here, cause the community specific to that TV show or game is very likely dead.
We also don't yet have many interesting text post subs that I liked to read on Reddit, like AITA, Best of Legal Advice, Best of Redditor Updates, Hobby Drama, etc.
Similarly, my local city sub is pretty dead (and never shows up on the front page cause the sorting algorithms suck). So I barely have any local interaction anymore! I met real life people on Reddit and it was great for getting advice from others who live in my city.
The sorting algorithm fixes can't come soon enough IMO. Small subs are dead because they simply can't show up on the front page with most of the sorting algorithms that Lemmy has. That limits how much you'll see in your feed and also makes Reddit a better product (due to all the niche subs it has that actually show up on the front page).
If your country was doing great, I could understand it. You'd be proud not of where you were born, but just how you and your fellow citizens have made your country great.
Problem is, America is very much not doing great.
Mayo and mustard are definitely what came to mind for me. And if the two, mayo is far more useful. Sandwiches of every kind, it's the base for numerous spreads and dips, and it even goes great on stuff like sushi. You can mix it with so many things to make unique and interesting sauces. Eg, I use chipolte and garlic mayo for many sandwiches I make (and sandwich like things such as wraps). Sriracha mayo is a classic in sushi. It's usually the basis of a good fry sauce.
There's some games where audio can be utterly amazing and completely make the game for me. Persona 4 and 5 are both like this. The music is so iconic that it's the extremely rare case of me actually remembering video game music. I almost never do that. I'm not saying I don't enjoy game music, but most of it just isn't memorable to me and I will never be able to recognize it if you played it to me and asked me where it's from.
Beyond music, voice acting is the other big one for me. But I don't usually have concerns with the voices themselves. It's the animations that I constantly dislike. I swear, 95% of games suck at matching lips to audio. It constantly just feels wrong.
As for sound effects, I don't notice them much. But on the topic of audio, I really hate when games depend on audio or even worse, positional audio. I'm hearing impaired and have a cochlear implant. I basically only hear in one ear. I don't have directional audio. And I'm not good at detecting small changes in sound, so I can't easily do stuff like locate the source of a sound. If a sound is loud and distinctive, I'm fine with sound indicators, but if it's a quiet or subtle sound, I can miss such indicators. Of course, there's also other people who have it worse, so game devs should avoid making sound a dependency to do things.
I wonder what's the reason for the change? The article just mentions vaguely about the EU tightening border security. But is border security from Canada really a concern? Or did we just get swept up in a larger change?
I'm personally of the opinion we should be going the opposite direction. It should be easier to visit, work, and immigrate/emigrate to and from similar countries.
Yeah, it's gonna really suck for some people who forget to do this well ahead of time. They'll have to cancel vacations or the likes. Most trips, you currently just bring your passport with you and that's really it. Nothing to apply to ahead of time.
Hopefully it's something that airlines will make part of purchasing tickets, so that you can't forget it. But it seems like this means you basically can't do last minute trips anymore. If you possibly could have a need to travel to the EU on short notice (eg, you have family there), you probably need to just keep this permit valid all the time. It would really suck to not be able to visit a dying family member because the permit could take weeks.
Mega threads should be per event though. Eg, "Trump gets convicted" would be a mega thread. You wouldn't have an "everything Trump related" mega thread.
Yeah, I've made some posts trying to start discussions on a game I played or the likes. Posts that, to the extent of my knowledge, have literally never been made on Lemmy before (I searched -- though admittedly the search system makes Reddit's search look like Google). I actually did get a couple of replies to some and some were really great replies too. But it's barely a trickle compared to what I'd get from even a middling popularity post on Reddit. I want waaaay more discussion, especially for novel topics.
And there's so many niche posts that I can't make. I really enjoyed communities like AITA or Best of Legal Advice or the likes. What, should I make up scenarios? I'm happy to contribute to comments of posts in such communities, but they basically don't exist here.
Local communities are even worse. I've made several posts to my city's community and can't recall if I ever even got a reply to a single one. On Reddit that never happened.
