It’s pretty wild how wide-ranging these tariffs affect small scale manufacturers with in and out of the United States.

I’ve been hearing scattered reports across different industries all saying the same thing:

1. They have 60 days or less of inventory remaining.
2. They cannot order more because nobody Stateside will pay for those items at prices increased to offset the tariffs.

For companies with razor thin margins, even 1% changes the calculus. A 145% tariff is already well over the point of no return.

@scintilla@lemm.ee that’s the main thing for me too. That news orgs, political agencies, and corporations use Xitter to communicate is the real travesty.

@kualdir@feddit.nl very slowly for quite a while.

@noodlejetski@lemm.ee oh sure, bit of a pot calling kettle black situation though.

@emperor@feddit.uk it is! The in-development stuff I’m working on makes it much easier to post directly to a Lemmy community.

This is probably the first, yes. It was also a bit of a live test at the same time.

Let’s clarify something here. Mastodon follower only posts don’t have the “public pseudo user” addressed, do they?

That’s the important piece that this whole thing hinges upon

If it is present, Mastodon is a fault. If not, Pixelfed messed up.

Am I mistaken?

For example, a followers-only post is addressed to the followers collection of the author, at minimum. When NodeBB sees this, it doesn’t even consider it public, because the public pseudo user isn’t addressed. We also have no concept of “followers only”, but we handle them just fine.

@fauxpseudo@lemmy.world as I learned, the latter—kai oats—is Canadian.

@malikmuaddibsoong@startrek.website it’s been a long road, gettin’ from there to here

@fordbeeblebrox@lemmy.world that’s because Discovery is just bad fan fiction.

It makes Enterprise worth watching.

@lost_my_mind@lemmy.world hate to break it to you, but Nokia sold their brand to HMD Global, and their new phones are … lacking in the indestructibility department. They are hefty though, I will say.

I owned two of them, and I got the ones that worked well. Some of the QC was wonky too.

@deadsuperhero@lemmy.world OMG roastmaster Sean, where can I subscribe to hear more of this.

@raginghungrypanda@lemm.ee for discovery, the best looking up-and-coming solution is Ghost. They’ve been around for a decade plus, but they’re actively working on their ActivityPub integration.

Early looks at their discovery reader is really promising. A separate tab for “Article” type posts, and another for “feed” type posts.

A lot of the other long form softwares are aligning on the standard that Ghost will try to set… NodeBB, WriteFreely, WordPress, etc. They’ve all signalled compatibility with each other, which is great!

For more, see @index@activitypub.ghost.org

@dannyboy@sh.itjust.works me too! The fact that I wasn’t alone in making this mistake kind of goes to show the kind of people on fedi lol

@fxomt@lemm.ee this summary is gold.

@weekinfediverse@mitra.social Interesting article by @db0@dbzer0.com about the future of forums and federation.

A little disappointed that only Discourse was mentioned, but I guess I need to make a bigger impact hehe
