I’ve been struck by the same thoughts lately as well, coming from Reddit where I expect hostile attitudes and at times even contributed to it, Lemmy (and to a greater extent, beehaw) is still pretty quiet as far as trolls/haters go, there’s active moderation keeping them at bay when they do show up, and the bulk majority of contributors are friendly and enthusiastic about their topics (rather than the toxic circlejerks of Reddit past.)

I still use Reddit occasionally. A little bit to scratch my news/social topic itch and for the few communities that haven’t migrated here yet.

As for the last part, if Linus from LTT is to be believed (I usually trust his opinions), on the WAN show they were discussing this just last night and he said that the majority of YouTube premium revenue goes to the creators. Or, rather he said that YouTube doesn’t pocket the majority so there could be some tricky nuances in there somewhere but he seemed to indicate that the creators get more than YouTube does in that deal.

Currently working through enderall and enjoying it. It’s fun, new story, some mechanic chances, new world, feels like a completely different experience. Highly recommend

Also, when the devs blacklist the key, the customer gets angry at the devs instead of the scammer, turning away future customers.

I also don’t know anything and I agree. There’s a lot of smoke in mirrors from Russian command, but I don’t see how faking an internal coup would be helpful for Putin. They’ve seemingly already made their way through multiple towns and are fighting into Moscow. They’ve been the sledgehammer this whole conflict and they turned around on a dime, who knows how this is going to turn out.

Pyrex isn’t the draw it used to be. People know that it’s not as good now as it used to be (even if it’s still fine), so they’re not loyal to the brand when it comes time for replacements.

I’m thinking probably, yeah. There’s always a market of customers who are fitting a kitchen for the first time, but I doubt it’s enough to sustain the expectations they built off the launch sales. They have other brands under their wing but I don’t think pyrex sales are high enough to subsidize the huge amount of licensed re-skins instant pot has been putting out to, as you put it best, people who already own instant pots.
