The usecase is that you want to support the OP's posts while also saving them for the future. Pressing both buttons for all the posts that you like is not intuitive.

Some users have 2 priorities of saved messages as neither Lemmy nor Reddit support lists in Saved Posts which something like Instagram has.

One priority is just to have a history of posts that amused you. You upvote them. (memes fit this) And other is actually saving them for future reference. (Articles, Opinions, etc.)

It is a nightmare trying to find some critical information but first sifting through all the memes and shitposts. So this feature is highly needed to make Lemmy atleast somewhat useful for me.

I thought this meant the writer is forgoing Amazon as a service completely.

Cause that would be something worth reading. Not these first world problems ffs

Except a country doesnt need anything like that. What is the US afraid of? That its people will suddenly move to Zimbabwe and be happy?

If there was a genuine benefit to having different standards than rest of the world, then just like wars, more countries would be having them

US has had millions, if not billions of dollars of losses due to this madness and has itself tried switching to metric system.

The fact the imperial system itself is now based on the metric system tells you enough

Windows has its ups.

The only problem people should have with it is that it's on 70% of ALL desktops which is about half a billion too many.

A fair competition should be there. Linux, Mac and Windows should have around 33% market share in an ideal world.

You may count whatever Google is doing or Samsung/Huawei can do as separate in a dream world.

A standard which is a "newer" version of an old standard, when a new objectively better standard already exists to replace it.

You tell me.

The question is why. You can't stop kids from watching it. People get it one way or another. This does nothing than cause mild dips in viewership.

And frankly the kind of stuff on law abiding sites like PH is not doing any noticeable harm anyway. Raising awareness on sexual education if anything.

Most kids begin watching/experimenting around 14. Around 16 is when they should have sex ed and 18 is adulthood anyway. What's the point?

Not comparable but we are back to the "video games cause violence" nonsense.

Sometimes kids just dont need government protection. This is one of those times.
