I don’t have a horse in this race, but 2007 seems a little outdated, and there even is a wiki page for this exact topic, maybe you could use this for future discussions.

The most prominent example that comes to my mind is Chiquita. Their history is as cruel as it is interesting and it always leaves a bad taste seeing their bananas in my supermarket. Easily one of the most evil companies ever.

Maybe I’m giving the companies here too much credit for thinking ahead, but the more half-hearted Windows Deck clones there are, the more pressure there is on Microsoft to release a proper mobile gaming version of Windows, maybe these companies are banking on it?

Could you give some examples for the non-casual decisions by companies?

Election day was only yesterday, so the exploratory talks for possible coalitions are only just beginning. The party with the second most votes (conservative) had already announced that it does not want to form a coalition with the party “Die Linke” (our leftmost party, this is also the case nationwide) but also not with the fascists. This leaves only a minority government with a center-left party and a new party that has both radical right and radical left issues in its program (if I have understood this new party correctly). But “Die Linke” has already said that it would play along with a minority government, even if it is not part of it, as long as they agree or negotiate on the respective issues.

This is happening right now in Germany. In two of our 16 federal states, the fascist party got around 30% of votes through fear mongering and propaganda. In one of the states, all of the remaining parties would be needed to create a functionable government with a majority, containing the whole spectrum from left to right. I am not sure about the future of this state.

It’s a social news aggregator. I assume the difference is, that this is to follow mainly news, whereas social media is to mainly follow people. In my 10 years of reddit and now Lemmy I never followed any account, I was just there for the niche topics and news aggregation.

I felt really bad don’t liking such a well reviewed game. But in the end gaming is a hobby and I should enjoy it, so I quit after around 6 hours. Maybe some day in the future I will try it again, but right now my life is so stressful, that I don’t have the energy to power through another open world game with collectibles spread across the map. Right now I am really enjoying Steam World Heist 2 and Cult of the Lamb instead.

I am aware of how damaging cats are to the ecosystem, but regardless of that, I don’t understand how you can live every day worrying whether the cat will come back or bring some kind of disease home with it. With our indoor cats I have control over what they eat and at most every few years they catch a cold. But nothing serious after 9 years of having indoor cats.

I would recommend Droidify, which uses the fdroid store with a nicer UI.

As DHT is partially responsible for androgenetic scalp hair loss, dutasteride (a 5α-reductase inhibitor) at least has some evidence of slowing hair loss, as it blocks the action of the 5α-reductase enzymes that convert testosterone into DHT [1]. I am not a medical professional, so do your own research, but this is one of the few substance shown to have a positive effect on hair loss prevention. As this is usually a genetic problem your mileage may vary significantly.

I also have this phenomenon and thought about an explanation, as there isn’t any research regarding this topic: The relative density and distribution of cones in the eyes can vary slightly between eyes, which could lead to minimal differences in color perception. There could also be microscopic differences in the structure of the crystalline lens, the cornea or the vitreous body, which could refract or filter the light differently and thus slightly influence the perceived color temperature.

I looked a bit around but could not find current information for a Fallout 4: New Vegas Mod, do you have a link?

That sounds like Vault-Tec level evil to me.

This is only half serious, but reddit is usually part of LLM training Sets, so you could try your luck with ChatGPT et al.

Not OP, but maybe the following: “The Mass Psychology of Fascism” by Wilhelm Reich provides an analysis of the psychological appeal of fascism, examining how economic conditions and capitalist societies create environments where fascist ideologies can thrive.
