You’re assuming that scams don’t make their way into regular distributors as they try to cut corners and maintain competitiveness.
You already see established brands lower the quality of their products after the first round of reviews online. If found out, they just blame manufacturing. Sorry.
True, but it's much less of a problem in physical shops. You can actually examine the merchandise. You know that the item you're paying for is literally the item that you're getting. You're dealing with the shop face-to-face, which reduces a lot of the more brazen scams. And if you have a problem, the shop is likely to do something to fix it -- and if they don't, you have realistic legal options.
In most ways, buying from a brick-and-mortar establishment is a better choice than buying online.
Nordstrom being a third party vendor of course. You want Patagonia, go to Patagonia. :)
In my mind we’re talking about what is a better solution to the problem, and it’s that companies WILL protect their IP. If someone buys fake Patagonia, Patagonia loses out on a sale.
Amazon doesn’t own much of anything IP-Wise on their marketplace in the grand scheme. And they don’t care who buys what as long as products are moving. It’s easier for them to just pay out returns than handle the actual problem.
That’s what you get when you fire the last actual mappers and just leave developers to keep it running. Google thrives on data quantity, not on quality.
If you don’t have a spoon you probably should get one. I don’t think you can cook without at least 1 utensil, unless you want to stir with your fingers.
Fried rice (literally “nasi goreng”) is common across east Asia and varies by local taste. I agree it’s easy to make, I just add whatever sauce, veggies and meat I have and it’s great every time.
Speaking of nasi goreng, the one from the Aceh region of Indonesia is my favorite.
If Gemini had picked markdown instead of gemtext I would've jumped in with both feet.
I get it though -- they're trying to resurrect gopher, which is what gemtext is a modernification of.
Still, I think markdown is our best shot at recovering the real web.
And yes, I know there's a standardization problem. Just pick a standard and run with it. Difficulty picking one is not a reason to pick none. And in case it wasn't obvious I'm talking about markdown without embedded html here.
Same boat. My blood pressure increased just reading your comment. The web is run by a bunch of amateurs who don’t know the single core concept of the web: links.
