Caffeine tablets it is then… Oh wait I bet those are going to be affected too. Fun times

Not for president Musk.

If he’s under investigation there, he’ll probably never visit Canada again.

I’m gonna have to agree with you here.

There’s a better special tax carve out: Don’t require tax for the primary residence. The owner MUST be registered as living at that address. Not a family member. The owner.

Okay if you have family you can have a few more homes, but realistically, if you own 10 or 20 homes, how many people can you REALLY trust to have full ownership of them instead of you? You’re going to have to start paying tax at some point.

Every 3 years due to forced upgrades or just old style deprecation over 3 years.

iPads don’t deprecate in 3 years, nor require forced upgrades. They get nowhere near as much support as a regular Linux laptop (which is what schools SHOULD be using) and even less than Windows laptops pre-11, but if they’re being replaced every 3 years, that’s just policy, not an actual need. Currently the oldest supported iPad is going to hit 8 years since release in a month. The newest unsupported one is going to hit 9 in a month. So yes there’s forced upgrades, but that’s in like 8 years.

I work as a software engineer and most companies have had a minimum 3 year lifetime policy for company laptops. Reasoning being, after 3 years there’s a higher chance of failure, and there have been enough advancements in hardware that upgrading might save SOME dev time. If it fails before 3 years, you get a new one. If you want to keep it longer, you can keep it. But if you want a new one, it should be 3 years old first. I don’t get why school iPads need to be replaced this often, but I reckon there might be a lot more wear and tear and THAT could be the reason for a 3 year replacement policy. It’s simpler than just replacing individual units every now and then.

It might also surprise you to learn that Dacia is actually a large French conglomerate.

They’ve been fully owned by Renault for more than two decades.

They might but only if they’re building something new for their entire range.

they don’t even offer manual transmissions on high end luxury cars

Honda

Hmm.

It’s not just cover, it’s a downright genius distraction.

Don’t be daft. There’ll still be women and browns! They’ll keep the republican pickme women who want nothing in life other than to be bred, and the browns that mow their lawns.

Discord has a single point of registration though.

You can see the same communities from lemmy.world and lemm.ee, more or less. But the average user doesnt know that. They get confused. People are stupid. Sad, I know, but also true.

As for appraisal, let people declare what their property is worth, and force them to sell if someone offers 20% more than their claimed value.

Ah yes, force people to move out of their homes. What’s lemmy’s obsession with uprooting families lately?

A bunch of them are likely Chinese or Taiwanese, the latter might also speak Mandarin.

Furthermore, I work in Estonia and all technical communication is in English. Source code is in English. To my coworkers and our clients I speak in Estonian. I suspect if China is going to be bringing in western engineers to their projects, they’ll also accommodate for English speakers.

Yeah, he was definitely talented. It’s unfortunate that he was not only schizophrenic, but also had followers that made it worse.

Is there one very central, singular instance/server that everyone can join from, without causing performance issues (like if everyone on Lemmy was on the same instance)?

That’s required for normies. Look, 90% of people won’t ever move from reddit to lemmy because they’d have to CHOOSE an instance. It’s not that the choice even matters TOO much. It’s just the fact that there’s a choice. It’s a problem.

When Steve Jobs said Apple restricted your customizability and settings because users are dumb and don’t know what they want, I always thought he was an arrogant dickhead. And he was an arrogant dickhead, but he was also right. Average users don’t want choices, they want the OOTB experience to be as good as possible.

Soon as you hear the term instance, most people are out.
