I have fond memories of Slashdot’s mod system . Members randomly got 5 mod points to up or down vote sometime . Votes were categorized .And that was it . Then metamods would vote on the quality of the votes. I wrote in the past tense but I guess /dot is still around .

Even though you say you suck at sleeping on the go, maybe the airport you are at has one of those sleep pods.

The thing with reddit is that it loaded with stuff that is easily searched for on search engines. I know if I search for something, i’ll be ending up at the big R. I have been going out of my way asking relevant questions on Lemmy communities instead of using a search engine (much to the annoyance of the ‘Did you do a search first?’ crew) I’m hoping this helps build communities here.

Verisign (NASDAQ: VRSN) today announced a 7% increase in .com prices to take effect on September 1, 2023.

…

Under its agreement with ICANN and the U.S. government, Verisign is allowed to increase prices by 7% per year in the last four years of every six-year contract term. This will be the third hike of this contract term, and the company is expected to increase .com prices to $10.26 in 2024.

Would be nice if ICANN changed the agreement a tad .

Sure . I normally buy top of line flagship phones used. Except for my most recent purchase, they all came from ebay . Most recently I purchased something ‘renewed’ from Amazon.

Make sure the description says the battery is good and that the photos show the screen in good order . I don’t care about scratches/cracks on the back because the thing is going into a case anyways .

I’d never pay that much for a phone app, personally, especially on android, because I’ve had apps that change dramatically to the point I no longer like/can use them.

You have different uses for your phone than I do. I have paid that much for a phone app. Hell, i’ve paid 2.5 times that. Some video camera apps and music creation apps are defiantly higher than $20. And they are worth it. In the USA, this app is the cost of about 3-4 cups of chain coffee. Seems reasonable to me.

The beauty of the platform is that you do have choices. So enjoy your freedom of choice! Support something else! Have a great day!

I paid to remove ads. I did so before seeing the price for Ultra. Ah well. lol
