Yeah but the wages of these employees haven’t. Don’t go making the employer raise their hourly rate!

So inconsiderate of you.

Not in the US. The number of people who trust PayPal absolutely amazes me.

PayPal is not a bank. Regardless of what they write on their site, they aren’t regulated as a bank or insured as a bank.

They have the legal authority to close your account and take your money for any reason. There are countless horror stories of people trying to get PayPal to release their funds only to find out they have no legal recourse.

I stopped reading after “subscription-based”.

They obviously look at child porn. If they had nothing to hide, they would volunteer!

I say it’s time to investigate each politicians phones and computers and then install monitoring software.

For the children.

But this kind of thing is ripe for unintended consequences at best and flat out bad data at worst.

When I drive I put my phone in the center so I can see the map. If me and my passenger’s phones are in the center, who is marked as driving when I get into an accident?

From there, why stop at one phone? Let’s put several phones in the back seat, including mine. Hell, let’s have a burner phone that I use only for driving that has a throw away account. Or let’s go back to old fashioned maps and GPS devices while our phones are turned off. Meanwhile, at home, I’ve spun up a virtual device where it is very peacefully driving a route. Perfectly. Then I have another virtual device that is driving a different route on the other side of the world driving erratically.

These companies are forgetting that the data from phones are data from devices, not people. If you’re going to spy on me, I’m going to make you fucking earn it.

On the one hand I completely understand and agree with businesses that do this. CC fees take a huge chunk out of your bottom line.

On the other hand, I’m less likely to go there a second time unless I really, really, really like your business.

For my barber, I will gladly pay in cash.

There’s a convenience store that charged me the 3% at check out. I left everything on the counter and went the extra mile or so and went to a normal grocery store.

This needs to be a Lower Decks episode.

Mariner: Why don’t you use the Dyson dryer?

Boimler: Because they don’t really get your hands dry. I end up using a paper towel anyway. Besides, I don’t want to accidentally slice my hands off.

Mariner: Quit being a baby. I just finished tuning it. Give it a try.

Boimler: sigh fine. The Dyson dryer cuts his hands clean off.

Beat

They both start screaming

It’s possible that the Dyson driers do a miny Baryon sweep of your hands…except it doesn’t ablate your hands off.

Oooh… I’d love a YouTube integration with jellyfin.

Tell me more.

I’d love the features of a podcast app but for YouTube creators I follow.

Are you the same guy from the warlizard gaming forums?

Idk…seems like the average apple user to me.

Trillion dollar company Apple is right and can do no wrong.

It’s all those other people who need to do better.

I’m 100% torrents if I need it. Fmovies or other sites seem to have the majority of what I want to watch.

Is there a guide on how to use usenet? What does it offer that torrents does not? Is it nitch stuff?

I am pretty okay with regex. Enough that I can do what I want.

sed/awk I’ve used on occasion, usually sed to change something in a pipeline.

I still feel like I’m casting a demon.

I swear whenever I see sed/awk commands, it looks like I’m about to summon the demon beast.

LPT: For faucets like this (or if you just want running water to wash something) get a paper towel. Wet it under the water and then put it over the sensor.

Toilet paper also works but it’s messier.

This right here. I know lemmy is all “LINUX IS FOR EVERYONE!” But it isn’t.

I know this would go against Google’s self interest but they are best poised to make Linux mainstream. Chrome OS can play android games natively. But it’s all close source.

It wouldn’t take much to make the ecosystem for general Linux. I don’t know if the other android-based OSes are working on this but anything we can do to push gaming into Linux would help it to become a better everyday OS

Car manufacturers and oil producers have a vested interest in making bikes, ev bikes in particular, illegal.

Basically the same playbook that Henry Ford used to make cities less walkable.

Oddly enough, the discussion is never on the other side.

“WHY DO YOU NEED BIKE LANES?! NO ONE IS EVER GOING TO RIDE A BIKE! JUST DRIVE!”

There are the small-medium business that use the standard slack EULA. Then there are fortune 100 businesses that negotiate their own licenses because they have the money and resources to do so.

My company has very specific BAAs with the major business apps and would be shocked if this even raises an eyebrow with them.

She’s a legit snack
