Anyone know a decent alternative at a reasonable price though? What if I have an @gmail today, and I want to move my storage elsewhere and have that just forward?

Reddit is working it’s way through: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. At first, Lemmy didn’t matter. Nothing had any financial impact on them. Now we move on to anger.

Price has gone up by $1k since I first saw this meme. Must be a hot ticket item!

You kind of notice how annoying all that corporate fluff and UI optimized to serve you advertising is when it’s gone.

I suspect they think a Modbot can replace human mods. I doubt it so the job probably gets outsourced to underpaid workers. I dont think any new volunteers will hang around long if faced with an angry community.

Not one chip in the whole package? Whenever I find this I wonder if there is a package somewhere with 2x chips...

When SVB failed earlier this year, the FDIC stepped in to protect all of the California bank’s U.S. deposits and arranged a sale of the lender’s U.S. customer accounts, branches and loans to First Citizens Bancshares.

Left out of that deal was SVB’s branch in the Cayman Islands, which had deposits from the bank’s clients in China, Singapore and other parts of Asia, including venture-capital and private-equity firms with funds that domiciled in the British overseas territory. Those investment firms were stunned in late March when they found out their deposits weren’t protected, and the FDIC—acting as SVB’s receiver—had drained their bank accounts, The Wall Street Journal reported previously. 

Businesses that moved to the Caymans (presumably to avoid paying taxes) should not expect the be bailed out by the FDIC

I've heard that too...of course, I can't compare to 240V but it takes me probably 2-3 minutes to boil about 2 cups of water and probably 5-6 for a full kettle at a rolling boil (rough estimate from memory). It's not much faster than the stove but theres no wasted heat, and no hot pan sitting on a burner after I'm done. Another theory I've heard is that in the US people opt for a drip coffee maker instead of a kettle (for their one spot on the counter? Why not both?), since we don't drink tea that often.

Ahh, the "don't take my picture" face

Between misrepresenting their conversations with app devs and mods, and trying to spin a different story in media outlets, and lumping me into a "database of human conversation"... I really don't want to contribute to or engage with a company like that in any way. None of it directly affects me but I see no reason to help assholes out with free content, ad views, or votes.
