We’ve finally made it! People look at a picture of Lemmy thinking it’s a more popular platform.

They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the “screenshot” is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.

I’ve got a mini and am looking into getting another mini or a full size. Caper sounds like a fantastic name considering how sneaky my current one is.

There’s nothing worse than SSHing into a remote machine, coding some stuff in vim and losing the SSH connection randomly. Especially when you’re working in a controlled remote environment instead of locally, screen is super useful to keep your place when you get back.

After we lost that one expensive spacecraft we’ve been moving towards metric more and more there as well.

Definitely a lot more out in the country than in the cities or even suburbs. 10% sounds about right.

For years and years I thought that was how this worked. That you said you wanted to round up, and all of the money collected went into a pool that the company then used as a tax write off in one lump sum. So they were stealing your tax write off basically.

Nope, that’s not actually how it works in the US (can’t speak for other counties). If you round up your transaction for charity, you’re eligible to write it off on your taxes as charity. Do most people? Nope. But could they? Yes! And some people even do save their receipts for this purpose.

The company doesn’t get to write it off as their donation, because it’s not. For them it’s pretty neutral, they’re receiving funds and transferring them on behalf of the people who donated them.

Note: I can’t speak for companies that do donations for nonprofits related to them. I assume it’s still neutral for them, since you definitely still can use it as your own tax write off, but I haven’t looked into that side.

I think everyone in your replies is conflating being a full time landlord and a part time landlord. One of them is definitely more evil than the other.

That’s a popular enough opinion that it’s being worked on and should be coming soon.

Sorry, connecting might be a bad way to explaining it. You can access communities on other Lemmy instances (as long as they’re federated together, which they probably are).

They’re separate but you can connect to communities across instances. I would recommend posting to !newcommunities@lemmy.world to give it some attention so others are aware it exists.
