Not all rich people are smart, and not all smart people are rich. Seems kind of obvious to me now, but it took me a long time to comprehend this.

Prolly Clojure. He's heavily on Clojure these days.

They don't. Piercing jewelry is usually made from robust materials that are inert in normal conditions, like stainless steel, gold, plastics, and sometimes glass or gemstones. So, no, you don't taste anything, just as you don't taste a plastic cup, ceramic mug, or stainless steel pot.

I'm laughing out loud at the skeleton picture! He seems happy about his prints! 😂

But what's an ᗋR𝖢ꔠ?

The question was "Why do you not believe in universal healthcare?" not "Why don't you like the libertarian movement?" Jeez, guys.

To me, it's quite the opposite! I feel like Silt Striders are kind of cozy, actually. What can be more comfortable and safe to travel than on the back of a big bug-giraffe? They are sweet, calm, non-aggressive, domesticated creatures.

The red, green, and blue buttons in the footer seem to do nothing.

They should change the primary color in the UI - are you sure it's not doing this for you? Maybe it's just enough of a subtle change that it's not immediately noticable?

Yeah, I totally missed that. It's actually pretty subtle. Got it now though. 👀

Oh, and hey, just wanted to drop a quick thanks for putting in the work on this Lemmy instance. 😘❤️

Cons:

  1. I'm already accustomed to the light theme of Lemmy and can't find how to switch from dark to light in "Next."
  2. When I scroll down to the end, there's 2/3 of the screen that is not being utilized. 2a. The red, green, and blue buttons in the footer seem to do nothing.
  3. The notion on every post that "Your IP is hidden from another Lemmy instance" is kind of annoying and useless. Why is it there?
  4. I dislike a little that it tries to copy the old Reddit interface. Although that interface wasn't bad, and I'm the one who would first say "don't fix what isn't broken," I'm more prone to seeing something new, some experimentation. Right now it feels more like "next to the old Reddit," which isn't exactly bad, but still...

Pros:

  1. I kind of like how images work on "Next." It feels faster and more "in place." It's simpler for me to distinguish between different types of posts (image, link, video).

P.S. I'm on the latest stable Firefox (124.0.2).

Although I don't agree with "The salaries are higher than supply and demand in equilibrium would dictate," I believe that your point is overall true. One truly cannot assess whether the price is too high or too low in isolation from the law of supply and demand. The role of the buyer (of any good, including labor) is to purchase as cheaply as possible, and the role of the seller is to sell as high as possible. I'm somewhat saddened that now this negotiation has turned kinda toxic. Companies attempt to play the victim card, claiming "no one wants to work," while labor responds with mere satire, without directly addressing the problem.
