  It's pretty wild how wide-ranging these tariffs affect small scale manufacturers with in and out of the United States.

  I've been hearing scattered reports across different industries all saying the same thing:

  1. They have 60 days or less of inventory remaining.
  2. They cannot order more because nobody Stateside will pay for those items at prices increased to offset the tariffs.

  For companies with razor thin margins, even 1% changes the calculus. A 145% tariff is already well over the point of no return.

  Let's clarify something here. Mastodon follower only posts don't have the "public pseudo user" addressed, do they?

  That's the important piece that this whole thing hinges upon

  If it is present, Mastodon is a fault. If not, Pixelfed messed up.

  Am I mistaken?

  For example, a followers-only post is addressed to the followers collection of the author, at minimum. When NodeBB sees this, it doesn't even consider it public, because the public pseudo user isn't addressed. We also have no concept of "followers only", but we handle them just fine.

  @fordbeeblebrox@lemmy.world that's because Discovery is just bad fan fiction.

  It makes Enterprise worth watching.

  @lost_my_mind@lemmy.world hate to break it to you, but Nokia sold their brand to HMD Global, and their new phones are ... lacking in the indestructibility department. They are hefty though, I will say.

  I owned two of them, and I got the ones that worked well. Some of the QC was wonky too.
