What happened to dataterm.digital?

During the Reddit migration, I made 2 accounts for myself. This account for research and one for actually being active on lemmy. My other account was on dataterm.digital and I really liked it there! But now it’s gone. Does anyone know what became of them? Apparently they had/have Mastadon, but I’ve never used it before and...

Banking, entertainment services, e-commerce used to be easily accessible from a browser but now are gradually phased out in favor of a native apps, why?

Does the end user really prefer apps over a web interfaces? Do native apps bring some security benefits? Isn’t maintaining apps for every single operating system and phone model out there more costly and time consuming than offering universally accessible web interface that works on any device? Isn’t creating apps for every...

Why isn't there a "Spotify premium" for news?

I really dislike ad driven publications. I’m not opposed to paying for quality news publication, but for something like NYT, there’s only a couple articles a month I come across that I’m really interested in reading. There problem is that there’s 4-5 other paywalled publications where I have that same issue. I’m...

What would the average skin tone and facial features look like after 300 years?

What would the average skin tone and facial features look like after 300 years if every partner relationship was interracial until there were no other ethnicities? Just a hodgepodge of DNA. What would the average human look like having a little bit of everything in them?...

Why do bees/pollinators pollinate other plants?

From my understanding: I get that for honeybees, they need the nectar to make honey (their energy food source) and the pollen is an additional, essential food source for them which contains protein. They collect both nectar and pollen from flowers. For other pollinators like wasps, they don’t make honey but they still need to...

What are all the reasons Imgur hides images/posts?

I don’t know if what I’m about to describe is a glitch or if I did anything wrong. Imgur won’t tell me. I tried to find answers to this but couldn’t, having looked on Imgur, in Imgur forum posts, in r/NoStupidQuestions, in the Imgur subreddits, and so on. I haven’t gotten any answers from any of these places....

People who back into parking spots: Why?

To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don’t have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it’s easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you...

Does the government keep capitalist interests on the top ?

Lately since covid has begun, there has been a high job insecurity in multiple fields , while the logical thing to do would have been improving job security laws, at least our govt( the name does not matter really) has brought laws , that gives power to the capitalists to abuse labour laws , or to fire employees more easily! I...

Is it dumb to create a wiki in this day and age?

I have a vague idea to create a wiki for politics-related data. Basically, I’m annoyed with how low-effort, entirely un-researched content dominates modern politics. I think a big part of the problem is that modern political figures use social media platforms that are hostile to context and citing sources....

Why were we able to stamp out Nazism but not the Taliban?

It occurred to me that Nazi ideology was entrenched in the German people from as early as the 1920s and officially since 1933 to 1945. You’d think that such a systemic worldview would be difficult to eradicate but it would seem Nazism was quickly removed after the Allies and Russians conquered them....

How do primarily overnight package focused carriers make any money on 2-day services?

So this is a rather niche question so I hope it is still relevant to this group, but I was thinking. The big package transport companies(in the US this is UPS and FedEx) make most of their air cargo money on overnight packages, where the business model is pretty straightforward. Have packages fly between a small number of hubs...

Are American tv shows stuck in Act 2 for their entire runtime between season 1 and final season?

Season 1s are great, setup, some payoff, a bit of lead into the overarching story. Then season 2 to X. The heroes win and then lose in the final episode, cliffhanger to next season. People get bored. Final season is announced and they wrap up the show.
