2023, took away annual inflation raise for the entire company during one of the worst years for inflation. Went to the board of directors and got himself a huge increase in his salary.

The Pixel 5 was perfect imo. Small size and reasonable battery.

I recently replaced the battery and also flashed LineageOS. Just like new 😁

I've always been drawn to 'The Catcher in the Rye' because it resonates with the raw, unfiltered emotions of adolescence. Holden Caulfield's rebellious spirit and disdain for phoniness capture the essence of youthful defiance. The novel's straightforward prose and genuine portrayal of teenage disillusionment make it a timeless read that speaks to me every time.

"I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. "

Getting attached to any account is not recommended. Hopefully most are pretty set but I know personally if I was too run into financial trouble I would shut it down. Bigger instances do get some amount of patrons who donate to them.

Right, and thats the issue. I host an instance but we only have a few users. Our instance does run very very well though because we don't get a ton of user traffic.

Currently no, there isn't a way to see that granular of detail. On my instance I have details about any defederated (blocked) instances. Currently there are none.

But there are pros and cons of joining smaller server. Since mine is small we don't see a large list of communities, I make a point to go through and subscribe to a bunch everyday so my users can get the best experience. But without others doing some of the leg work it can be challenging. Bigger instances like lemmy.world have "seeded" with communities all over because of their large user base. Not only does lemmy.world have a ton of communities but their users have subscribed to communities outside the instance making it discoverable to others.

Set in a future where humanity is at war with an alien species, the story follows a young boy named Ender Wiggin as he trains in a battle school to become a military genius. It delves into themes of war, leadership, and morality.

This book is a light read but if you enjoy it there is an expanded series. Its perfectly fine as a standalone novel itself.
