  Photographers are it an obvious term to search for on maps. “Photo studios” sure. But event/wedding photographers are a google search not a maps search.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the internet is worse.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You miss the bigger picture. The shut journalism and propaganda are still free - funded by … other means . That is why magazines males try to be free in the internet.

  You’re also operating with the wisdom of hindsight. No one knew how to handle internet publishing. We all learned together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UAW will not expand strikes at Detroit automakers after last-minute GM proposal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s expensive to be on strike. Also for the union and its members. They are making sure they do not lose the war of attrition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As does Windows and Mac. The both have states that are “asleep” but connected to the internet. Whether they will keep downloading - it’s not a thing I have tested.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨150,000 Workers Vote to Authorize Strikes at Stellantis, GM, and Ford⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Those companies do not make the news.

  There’s bound to be either an government funded animal control or private animal removal service in your area. You can search of true public service first. They can tell you if there willing to handle this. And if not can likely point you in the direction of the private service.

  Or are you asking for options other than calling animal control?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't there a "Spotify premium" for news?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree the convenience would be great. But the reason it’s rare is that the business model does not work out for the newspapers.

  This would lead to reduced revenue for the newspapers.

  We already live in the world where news is behind paywall and disinformation is free. This would lead to collapse of more newspapers and further deterioration of the landscape.

  We need a better model than Spotify to apply to news.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are American tv shows stuck in Act 2 for their entire runtime between season 1 and final season?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the point of the question is that the producers get greedy midway. And stop the progress so they can go indefinitely. Then when the show is cancelled the finish the story arcs in the final season.
