In addition to other reasons given, I see their web interfaces as recruitment methods.
People who don't have the app can still click links which bring them to the FB/IG/Tw websites - and then that could be enough to get them interested enough to then go on and install the full app especially when they find out how restricted the websites are.

The company said: “Due to its size and configuration, Grangemouth incurs high levels of capital expenditure each year just to maintain its licence to operate.
“This annual outlay on essential planned maintenance and running repairs has been consistently higher than the company’s earnings over the past decade.”
It said it has invested $1.2bn since 2011 and has lost more than $775m since then.

When a headline or thread starts with "Why..." you can often reply to it simply by repeating the question without the first word and emphasising the new first word, eg:
Is Lemmy not a place for thoughts and observations, rather than just links, questions, and memes?
I'm not sure that's true as a starting point. So not point trying to answer "why" it might be the case.

Style over substance IMO. Trying to keep people's attention visually in case what they are saying isn't interesting enough.
If they had a second angle camera locked off on them from one side, and occasionally cut to that shot without turning to face the camera itself that'd be alright, and it's a useful tool for disguising edits, but needs to be done in moderation.

What's the mystery with this one? It's a very interesting event, but isn't it generally pretty well understood?
Or at least that's what Google says they are... :-)
Already getting sick of seeing 'AI' results at the top of a search when all you want is a link to a site? I just discovered [this article](https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/take-google-back-to-1998-how-to-get-10-blue-links-in-google-search-results/) showing a way to not see it (although it doesn't disable it altogether). TLDR: * In Chrome open settings menu, choose Search engine on left menu and scroll down to site search * Click Add button and choose a name (eg Old Google, Google Web or whatever) * Add a shortcut word (eg web, og, or whatever) * Add this URL string: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14 * Save that, and now if you search for something and use the shortcut word you set you'll just get proper results, no 'AI' shown * Or, if you don't want to have to add a shortcut word, you just make that search your default (use the 3 dot menu next to the name you set) and all searches will show that way, no shortcut word needed. *EDIT - meant to add that there are detailed instructions for Edge, Firefox and Safari in the article if you don't use Chrome* Hope that helps someone - I really don't like all that extra nonsense when I just want a link to a site that I know exists! [Obligatory - "or don't use Chrome/Google...", I know - but people do, so this might be useful]
Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to do this? Here's my use case in more detail I have a laptop and a PC, with the laptop connecting to one of my 2 monitors via an HDMI splitter. This allows me to use my PC on both screens most of the time, but then quickly switch one monitor to show the laptop, when required. Only thing is that doing that causes all PC windows* on Screen 2 to jump to Screen 1, while Screen 2 now shows the laptop's windows. That's fine, and I get why it does that (effectively the PC thinks I've disconnected Screen 2). \* (usually it's a bunch of Chrome windows, 5-7 of them - for work/multi-client reasons this works best for me and my PC handles it fine) When I switch the HDMI splitter back, all PC windows remain on Screen 1, while Screen 2 is once again showing my PC desktop, but with no windows. Ideally all windows would flip back to where they were before, but I don't think there's a way to do this, and again, that's fine. My next preferred option is to be able to able to move all Chrome windows over from Screen 1 to Screen 2 quickly - and this is what I'm looking for advice on. I can't seem to find a way to "select" all/multiple Chrome windows and shift them to Screen 2, but it feels like there must be a way? Any help greatly appreciated :-)

Sorry Norway. Our jammy win in Oslo robbed you of a chance to experience a major tournament. Instead, your place went to a badly organised rabble, with no urgency, no ambition and not even basic ball control. You should have been in this tournament, and that disgraceful excuse for a Scotland team should have been languishing in 3rd or 4th. How in god's name did we beat Spain? Sorry Norway, you deserved better.
Of limited interest, I'm sure, but I spent a bit of time working all this out, and wanted to post it before Scotland go 2 down after 5 minutes tomorrow and render it all moot... So. If Scotland lose to Hungary, we're out. No ifs, buts, or maybes. If we draw then we need at least 2 out of 3 scenarios to happen in order to sneak through: - Spain beat Albania AND Italy beat Croatia - Turkey beat Czechia AND Portugal beat Georgia - Denmark beat Georgia AND England beat Slovenia by 5 or more (I think) If Scotland win against Hungary then any 2 (or more) of these scenarios gets us through - Spain avoid defeat to Albania (Scotland would finish better than Albania and also better than one of Croatia or Italy, regardless of their result) - Netherlands beat Austria (Scotland would be ahead of both Austria and Poland) - England avoid defeat to Slovenia (Scotland would be ahead of Slovenia and also at least one of Denmark or Serbia). - There's also the possibility that Slovenia hammer England (Scotland could finish better than England on goal difference and also would be ahead of at least one of Denmark or Serbia) - Portugal avoid defeat to Georgia (Scotland would be ahead of Georgia and also ahead of one of Turkey or Czechia) - Even if Georgia did win, we could beat them on GD, but we'd have to thrash Hungary, so not likely. - No draws on match day 3 in group E. Doesn't matter who wins, as long as two teams do. - Or, if there are 1 or 2 draws in group E then it comes down to goal difference, so we would have to hammer Hungary, see above. And yes, I made a spreadsheet to work all this out... :-)
Come on Scotland fans, let's get this community up and running in advance of Scotland's forthcoming run to becoming European champions! 0' - Game has just kicked off, 0-0 15' - Decent start, couple of really good chances already for Hanley and Forrest, both probably should have been buried. 30' - Scotland in control, but can't get a shot on target.

Really enjoying Radio Lemmy, have had it on almost constantly :-) After using the site a few times, I noted a few things that might be worth looking at - not meant as criticism, just some ideas. Suggestions: * Freeze pagination tools of auto DJ library - would make it easier to navigate on mobile when scrolling down the song list. At the moment, when you scroll, you can't see the controls * Make the song request message popups (green for accept/red for reject) always appear onscreen as overlays instead of at a fixed point on the page - at present they're not visible when user is scrolled down, especially on mobile * Is there a way to filter the library by genre/artist? I can't seem to find it, apologies if I'm being dense. * It would be cool to be able to sort the library by date added - so we could see what new songs have been uploaded Bugs: * When sending a song suggestion it refreshes the page, stopping the music stream. Any way to prevent that? * I noticed that some songs have duplicate info - eg Pulp - Disco 2000, Stromae - Alors On Danse, and possibly more

>Mike Dean has admitted he failed to correct a mistake in a Chelsea v Tottenham match last season to prevent his friend Anthony Taylor receiving extra “grief”. > The former Premier League referee Dean was on VAR duty at Stamford Bridge in August 2022 when Chelsea wanted the Spurs defender Cristian Romero sent off for pulling Marc Cucurella to the floor by his hair. Dean says he made a “really bad call” in not sending Taylor to review his decision. Why would he do that? And why on earth would he admit it later??
Others may disagree, but every time I find myself wanting to change the sort type, I tap the area circled on the left. But this opens the menu to switch between Subscribed/Local/All - instead I should be tapping the three lines on the right. Would it maybe make sense to have "Hot", "New", etc appear with those lines instead? No biggie, just an idea.
Not sure if we're still applying the low quality image rule as on the R place? If so, this may fall foul. Hopefully not.
