Market maker is a regulatory designation where a financial institution has to provide liquidity, which sometimes means taking on trades you wouldn’t otherwise. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds, especially in FX markets where profit margins have been nanometer-thin for ages.

The thing about internet is that anybody can do the hosting and they do not have to operate with same ethical standards as we do.

The whole point of using hashes here is to not store images.

Nayara Energy Limited is an entity established in India and operating an important refinery in Vadinar. That refinery is 49% owned by the Russian State oil company Rosneft, and is a major refiner of Russian crude oil. The energy sector, in particular the oil sector, is a sector providing substantial revenue to the Russian Government.

Therefore, Nayara Energy is involved in an economic sector providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

Microsoft doing the right thing here. If you don’t want to worry about consequences of sanctions don’t use services from companies subject to jurisdiction of countries that sanction you.

This is a „code of conduct” thing, optional, and therefore useless.

I like it.

This is good for bitcoin.

Yeah, fuck Jeff Bezos, maybe not to death because that sounds like a good time. Big tech is obviously bad but you can paraphrase „every empire is evil but not everything empire does is evil” for this context. Personally I recommend getting a Kindle while in deep discount and then using it with your own books via Calibre because Amazon subsidises them and must be losing money on this kind of thing. Hardware’s not bad.

Amazon adaption is pretty cool too. James S.A. Corey was involved.

I really like The Expanse, you?

How does that relate to Kindle getting new text formatting options though?

Actually a nice feature that’s not on other e-readers. My Kindle still gaslights me no updates are available though.

Could have copied Apollo but they copied vanilla Reddit client. Shame.

Or don’t use Reddit at all. I’m convinced that the only thing that’ll be boosted this way is astroturfed content either way.

If non-US people didn’t treat those companies as a part of executive arm of a foreign adversary, how much more of a proof would they need?

Eh, don’t bully some random developer that created an app few people like. It was made for weirdos and those weirdos must appreciate having their own app.

My link for this was deleted. Huh. I didn’t see this earier.

I’m getting an impression that lemmy.world federation has been super slow recently.

It doesn’t try to cater to everyone and there might be controversial design choices. This can mean anything from something great and ahead of time to absolute horrors of user interface design [link removed] depending on your perspective and a particular app in question. I really like what Photon does and how polished it is but it’s definitely not for me.

I don’t think this can come from tech media at all, the system is rotten to the core because of ads and widely accepted sloppiness. The only reason they’re looking to diversify is that new gadgets are no longer that different from last year’s gadgets and AI bubble is about to burst.

Good journalism could still come but people will have to accept it won’t come free.
