You should probably go do a battery health check. If your range is that bad, your battery degradation should be within warranty replacement range.

At home I have a steelcase leap, it’s around $700 new. But I can literally sit in it all day with no issues. To me it’s worth it to spend the extra since it’s basically where I spend most of my non-working time.

But for a cheaper option, we have something similar to these at my work (software developer). If I didn’t already have a really good chair at home, I would probably get one of these. I can sit in it probably just as much as my one at home, and have no issues. The mesh back actually lets your back breathe, and doesn’t retain heat so no back sweat. It’s also relatively durable for the mesh and seat area. But mine does have issues after about 2 years of sometimes the gas piston leaks and when you sit down in it, it goes to the lowest setting. I’m sure one day it will finally just always be at the low setting, but luckily, it’s not to low for me to work with.

I wonder where things like prybars fit into that. At work, knives are discouraged, so I carry a LNW prybar. If I’m being honest it’s probably more functional than a knife for the things I do day to day like cutting tape to open a box, or popping tabs or as a flathead to open something. You know, things you really shouldn’t be doing with a knife anyways.

There is another aspect, sometimes a CEO is brought on in a knowingly temporary situation. Sometimes a company needs to make an “unpopular” decision, like massive layoffs or restructuring. Or they just need a CEO to come in and stir the pot. They’ll bring the CEO in, they’ll do their thing, and then once the deed is done, they will “decide it’s best to part ways” in some form.

This sort of CEO position usually is a one and done for that person making them a less desirable candidate for employment in the future, so they get a nice golden parachute to compensate. Basically, they get paid to be the “bad guy” and are essentially selling themselves as a scapegoat for the company.

People need to just chill out and touch some grass.

Like how long have you been on the internet? If the whole federation thing can be bought out by a company and ruined, then it’s a failed experiment and we move on to the next thing. It’s a tale as old as the internet itself, cool grassroots thing gets popular, sells out, destroys itself, repeat every few years.

For now, kbin and lemmy are working, but don’t think this will last forever or won’t get tested. Either the concept is good and it will stand the test of corporate takeover, or it won’t and we try something else.

No.

There is more nuance to it than that. If its something like simple left-wing/right-wing politics, sure you have a moral obligation to host both sides for as long as both sides participate in good faith and there is a mutual respect between the two. It becomes different when the disagreement comes from one side saying some people don’t deserve to exist. There is no good faith way to say some percentage of the population are sub-human and should be eliminated.

Like do you really think if a trans person is running a Lemmy instance, they are morally obligated to host a community that has members in it that call for the death of trans people? It would be like saying you are obligated to let someone live in your house even though they were just outside your house threatening to burn it down.

People that spew hate can do so, but the price they pay for that should be that they shouldn’t feel invited or comfortable anywhere besides their little hate hole. We have allowed them too much comfort lately because we have always been told this “do unto others” shit growing up. The problem with that mentality is that it assumes everyone is operating under that rule, but some people are exploiting that and treat others like shit knowing they won’t get punched in the face for it.

So, I kind of wonder what would happen if nobody was willing to defend him because it seems like every lawyer that reps him either gets charged with crimes, or he is like asking them to do illegal shit.

Like at some point he just will get a public defender because it’s a constitutional right to have a lawyer, but what if he can’t even get one of them to rep him because he asks them to lie or break laws for him. How many do you go through before the court is just like, fuck it, you are unrepresentable we gotta move forward with our a lawyer.
