    Prices have gone up almost 4% since April so far. Businesses stagger their price increases so they don’t immediately alienate customers. Boiling frog and all that. The prices will likely rise the remainder of the difference over the next year.

    I’m going to posit an alternative theory: the data is actually pretty worthless and that’s why this company is going under. I don’t think these origin websites and the limited DNA sequencing they did is really worth as much as people might think.

    Damn this article is on the nose

    Why, by 2020, I, a man who recently tried to extort the sitting president of the United States to release his college and passport records, might even begin to show signs of serious and unavoidable decline in mental and physical faculties, and doesn’t that just perk your spirits right up?

    Any system that remains static for decades inevitably gets gamed by the powers that be. Sadly it seems we might be past the point of no return for this country…this election is everything

    Replacement filter for discontinued vacuum

    I have a Eureka upright vacuum and I guess it got discontinued several years ago. I have been unable to find a replacement filter for it now for years, out of stock everywhere. I’ve been cleaning the filter but now the filter has a hole and it needs to be replaced. Anyone know how I can replace the filter? Really don’t want to buy another vacuum and turn my current one into a useless hunk of plastic. This is the part I can find nowhere: https://kirkwoodsweeper.com/shop/eureka-dcf5-dust-cup-filter/

    A few weeks ago Lemmy was buggy on computers and there were no good mobile clients out there, now on PC the site is pretty stable and fast, and there are now some pretty good iOS/Android clients too. Thanks to all the people who made this possible!

    Anyone know if it's possible?

    I've been noticing the number of upvotes on posts fluctuate wildly...from 12, to 350, to 150. Pretty wild swings. I know fuzzing is needed to combat bots, but I had thought it was more like at the few % level, not orders of magnitude...

    The site is pretty much unusable because of the individual posts scrolling down within a few seconds of appearing. When can we expect this to be fixed?
