Worked out for Apple. Timmy Cook was able to get an exemption on the tariffs for cell phones.

Is there any way to see a list of all the cool projects NASA is working on? This is the first I've heard of this lunar orbit station

'Sobering reality' for Trump as he rages at night to friends about negative press: report in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ok, but he's @satansmaggotycumfart is not totally wrong. People DID sit this out. However, the broader question I have is how fragile the US democratic experiment is. If all it takes for one election cycle for people to sit out, then the flame of democracy was never very strong to begin with. Checks and balances are all but gone at this point...

GDPR is a good goal, but the implementation is hell. There has to be a way to make well intentioned policies not turn into the nightmare fuel that it inevitably always turns into.

Anyone try SDF modeling yet? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm considering getting into it with some add-ons, even though Blender will be adding in the upcoming release potentially. What are your thoughts? Have you played around with it yet? Seems very interesting for concepting

40 Monkeys on the loose in SC after escaping research facility (www.theguardian.com)
 

These monkeys went bananas: 40 monkeys escaped from a research facility in South Carolina, and local authorities on Wednesday warned residents to stay away.

“Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secured to prevent these animals from entering homes,” the Yemassee police department said on Facebook this week. “If you spot any of the escaped animals, please contact 911 immediately and refrain from approaching them.”

The monkeys that absconded were from the Alpha Genesis research center, which bills itself as “primate research specialists”. Police said that they have set up traps around the area and are “utilizing thermal imaging cameras in an attempt to locate the animals”.

Why is there a user base here that is so angry all the time? Genuine question. (lemmy.world)

My experience on this platform has been mixed so far but one thing I've noticed the most is a significant contingent of the user base is really reactionary in their discourse.

This is a very typical exchange I have here :

User: I don't like this color because it's red.

Me: I don't know, looks more like purple to me. What about red is bad?

User: Why don't you fuck yourself in the face you fucking cuntfuck!

Me: OK...

Like, what gives? I don't have this experience on other platforms. I have arguments but never this shutdown meccanism.

Has community engagement dropped off suddenly? (lemmy.world)
 

I don't know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I'm on lemmy.world as my instance.

Is anyone else getting downvotes for benign disagreements here? (lemmy.world)
 

At least on Reddit there was some leveling of downvotes built into the algorithm. This site is making it seem like any slight disagreement leads to downvotes thus encouraging more echo chambers. Maybe it's the communities I'm commenting on?
