Hopefully Chinese firms recognize the gap in the market and increase their capacity.

No worries; on the rare occasion a comment involves listing a price for something, I generally try to not default to US$ if the subject matter isn’t the U.S. if I can help it.

I got my boxes in the U.S. to take to Europe, so unfortunately I’m not sure what the situation is for the Canadian version; odd that they didn’t roll out the firmware update to those devices though.

“Government devices typically include preinstalled apps that provide value to government employees’ day-to-day work.”

They should go back to doing that instead then.

Piefed has a feature to combine posts from multiple communities into feeds, but otherwise community consolidation consists of a moderator restricting one community to mod posts only and using a pinned post to redirect users to another.

At least 18 people in France are dead from the heatwave; the Reuters story with that figure came out before this one, so NBC should have updated their story to avoid understating the impact.

They’re not active here, but they’re still active on Bluesky.

Less fragmentation is definitely better, so while the option to split is always there with more options than are available on Reddit, ideally communities should stay united to avoid dividing already small userbases.

Unpaid moderators should have the freedom to act according to their personal preferences. If moderation becomes a problem, the platform’s federated structure facilitates creating alternative communities.

Alternative to Fox.

They’re expected to nominate Andy Burnham for the premiership.

AI remains top reason excuse for US job cuts for third straight month

Edit: Also, alternative to Fox Business.

The production of white-label products is a relatively common practice.

I prefer the kiosks too, but if they’re going to be hiring fewer people as a result, prices should be reduced to account for their cost savings.

Just like Russia, any other country could lose access to their legitimate assets in dollars or euros, as well as western financial and payment systems.

Switching to a different system just puts you in the hands of a different master. In any case, Russia is in no position to complain about the seizure of its assets abroad as compensation after destroying far more Ukrainian assets in its invasion and occupation.

While they’re not to my liking and have exploitative microtransactions, the market is highly served by games like Candy Crush and Wordscapes.

Many people leave rural areas for urban areas for economic reasons, but high housing costs in those urban areas lead people to settle in suburban areas where car usage is often essential.

I don’t see any indicators that people are not getting driver’s licenses en masse; the number of licensed drivers has continued to increase, something that can’t fundamentally change without a substantial increase in public funding for mass transit or a decrease in the urban sprawl that characterizes many American suburbs.
