    A company cannot disrupt itself. Sears, Kmart, and their colleagues who have perished became particularly good at making a profit through one specific channel. So every executive, every performance bonus, in fact every person on the payroll was focused on maximizing their specific method of turning a profit.

    Unfortunately for them, the world changed and the leaders didn’t realize they were themselves being disrupted and therefore had no capacity to turn the titanic.











  • The authors also assessed 14 lifestyle factors commonly associated with physical and mental health, including smoking, alcohol use, physical inactivity, poor nutrition and sleep, finding most were significantly associated with all three mental health measures.

    It seems like we conclusively know now that physical health is crucial to support mental health. Exercise, nutrition, sleep, limited stimulants and depressants, and yes, maintaining a healthy weight are core factors to fight depression - perhaps more effective than any pharmaceutical available - and other mental health decline.


  • Does anyone remember the inside jokes in the early days of reddit?

    When does the narwhal bacon? Orangered Chuck Testa!! Ridiculously photogenic guy And of course the long list of meme-level posts like broken arms, cumbox, celebrity AMAs

    This type of community humor made a lot of people feel like they’d found their tribe on reddit in those early days.

    I haven’t seen much like this develop on Lemmy yet, possibly because there’s so many disparate communities merging. I’m not really sure. Or maybe all those 20-something redditors are now pushing 40.

    I think it will take a while for a lemmy culture to develop and the community won’t attract outsiders much until it does.






  • Driver support was so dicey. If you had anything even remotely not mainstream, you would be compiling your own video driver, or network driver, or basically left to figure it out for any other peripheral. So many devices like scanners and very early webcams just claimed zero Linux support at all, but you could at times find someone else’s project that might work.

    I tried to switch to Linux as a desktop system several times in the late 90s but kept going back to windows because hardware support just wasn’t there yet.
