understandable if you mainly have moved to streaming apps, but if you dj as a hobby or pro you have a healthy collection of mp3s, wavs and maybe flacs. there is a lot of hobby and pro djs around the world for sure !

where do you source your magazines from out of interest? Are they epubs etc?

Competelly agree with your points’ intention here, but if billionaires leave a country and take their wealth elsewhere, then it’s not being invested in that country, which is detrimental. Also they’re not spending money on luxury items or lots of whatever billionaire stuff, paying tax on that and circulating a portion of their wealth in that country etc.

So it’s more like:

billionaires stay in the country, spend and invest in the country and don’t pay tax vs billionaires leaves they dont spend invest, nor pay tax.

My 50pence is there shouldn’t be billionaires in the first place, why does any one individual need that much wealth, it just accumulates more wealth and a lot gets hoarded away from anything productive.

I couldn’t find details on this so I would love if anyone has any insight or thoughts, but I’m wondering if these patterns could be from the simulation and computational limitations around generating true ‘random’ numbers (used in the simulation coordinates, vectors, velocities etc) ?

The arrogance shown to assume I don’t understand because I disagree with you haaa!

I don’t know why you’re jumping to insults when trying to have a discussion about this, as that’s what Lemmy is for surely, discussions??

Why are you making it about solely her genetics saying that she’ll win based on these alone? They’ve been the same when she’s lost several matches as I was pointing out…

You’re doing her a massive disservice by dismissing the amount of hours, effort, blood, sweat and tears she’s likely dedicated to training, and being rude to this “average minded person” for pointing that out.

You do you though

Sports where physical strenght and constitution are more important than technique will always be dominated by people with a better genetic pool.

You’re literally talking about whole sports in your first sentence, nothing specific about that…

Well how did she lose her other olympic and IBB matches if her genetics are always the same then???

I have had two Lenovo models as my last two laptops, including the one I’m on now which is a Yoga 9i. I have buyers remorse so much for both of these and stupidly got pulled in by low prices and a long list of features. They’re slow, unupgradable, both had issues where i needed to send them back for repair as they turned off randomly which was very frustrating with lots of lost work, and then lots of time without the laptop…

I think after thinkpads their overall quality has hit the pan

There’s 23 pages of people with these issues and very little support from Lenovo on this thread: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-S-Series-ThinkPad-Yoga-and-Twist-Laptops/Lenovo-Yoga-9i-keeps-freezing/m-p/5087025 And another 3 pages here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Yoga-Series-Notebooks/Laptop-randomly-turns-off/m-p/3840927?page=3

pretty different things and also IBM owns Red Hat

Was your project folder synced via nextcloud?? I had a similar issue arise with my projects folder being deleted and not in the trash bin etc, can only think nextcloud was the culprit as I had removed the folder from my server and default behaviour must be to replicate that removal locally.

i use boox and syncthing so all books, audiobooks, files, notes etc are across all my devices automatically :)

Not sure what you mean by ethical superiority? There’s some pretty horrible and unethical instances on the fediverse… And I disagree with you that mass numbers of people means success

If you are after larger numbers of people, why are you here and not on legacy social media where the numbers mean those platforms are better in your opinion?

your reply is n=1, when op is clearly talking about mass adoption

i got an iphone in november to try it out and play with lidar etc. I had buyers remorse pretty quickly and now months later have had enough of the rigidity and am returning it for an android phone. I don’t understand the hype to be honest

wouldn’t it be 3fa with biometrics also ? Thanks for your explanation btw

you’re really determined to stick to your belief haha, don’t worry about it man I don’t think I’m going to sway your mind on this so peace !

This is all measured and not really estimated. If you think that any substantial chunk of that 484Billion is being done ‘stupidly’ then you’re just making presumptuous incorrect guesses without knowing much about the industry.

Revenue (sales) - Investment (total costs) = ROI There is ROAS which similiar: Revenue - Ad Spend = ROAS You can measure things in more detail like CPA (cost per acquisition) to work out how much ad spend you have per sale, again this is a measurement not an estimation.

Where previously there was mass advertisements to millions of people like TV or radio ads which were only affordable to large companies. Advertisers now can target the exact type of person they’re trying to market to for their niche which is a lot cheaper and so more accessible to smaller businesses. To me that makes business sense to do if I can optimise to the right ROI, and nothing to do with FOMO or vague thinking.

2 second google for some numbers: “In 2022, global internet advertising revenue stood at 484 billion U.S. dollars”

One of the metrics you measure when running ads is return on investment, and companies will soon go bust if you aren’t making money on your ad spend.
