If it's a niche it should probably have a dedicated community for it: e.g. c/cooking@lemmy.world

Personally I did like the button sewing post, maybe that is generally useful enough that everyone should know. But I'm already in a few repair/DIY community that never get enough posts, and I've just found a 'Sewing, Repairing and Reducing Waste' one where it'd fit too.

Maybe it could be tolerated but should have a tag like [NICHE] in a title and a recommendation that OP should cross-post it as a way to promote/ support the other communities.

'Do' do be doo-doo. /jk (and not 'proper' grammar for anyone still trying to figure it out.)

I thought applet came first. Then "web apps" - but i think that's a windows perspective.

This claims they came from NEXT which apple bought in the 90s. https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/when-did-programs-become-apps.136416/

The thread also refers to bitmap image files as bumps which I'd still do if I ever saw a bump again. So the thread is legitimate.

Even the airline check in person doesn't bother to check/count the tickets.

Before 9-11 it was pretty easy to get on a plane I guess.

Those family guy writers will surely stop picking out idea balls now.

Yes the first thing to cut out is the "unearned income".

Higher income linked to real work / productivity is unlikely to be as big a problem unless the higher paid/skilled workers start gathering market power and controlling stuff (unearned income like a monopoly premium).

But the original thought experiment seems cart about horse to me - the work and product comes first, coins come along second to make it easier to specialise and trade.

 

HM Senior Coroner for Lancashire Dr James Adeley:

"The current system for 'ensuring' drivers meet the visual legal standards is ineffective, unsafe and unfit to meet the needs of society as evidenced by the deaths of Marie Cunningham, Grace Foulds, Anne Ferguson and Peter Westwell where the DVLA continued to provide licences to drivers who had failed to meet the legal sight requirements."

Terry Wilcox, of Hudgell Solicitors, representing the families of Mrs Cunningham, Mrs Foulds and Mr Westwell, said loop holes that are available for drivers who want to evade reporting on their eyesight are "jaw-dropping".

Rob Heard, chairman of the Older Drivers' Forum, warned that more people would die if changes were not made soon.
