Honestly, if I were TikTok and saw this, I’d just shut off all US access to TikTok, make it clear the Tarrifs and Trump are the reason, and watch gleefully as a good % of the US that use it start revolting against Trump.

Judging by that picture, I think they’re all in on that color scheme and likely just bought multiple pairs of the same socks.

All the bills around here for natural gas are measured in CCF. “Hundred Cubic Feet” (centum cubic feet, but Latin is hard or something). I’d gladly take cubic meters instead. But then I quite like Metric.

This, but Jellyfin. Plex has already begun its enshitification, sadly.

How does that have less than a million views? My team and I quote/use/reference it so often.

Just because most everyone agrees doesn’t mean you should stop. The vast majority of Lemme seems to agree that Musk is a piece of shit, but I’m going to keep point it out anyway.

On one hand, that’s pretty lazy.

On the other hand, the last office I was in would over pack it in that dispenser and all you’d get were shreds every, single, time.

It’s entirely cash based. Sure, some parts are “non-profit”, but at the root of it, they depend on cash based services that can pull the plug at any time.

It’s also completely controlled, directly or indirectly, by localized political regimes.

Correct, except that more people buying used laptops will incentivize people to upgrade more often as they can depend on a strong secondhand market to recoup some of the cost of the new one by selling the old one.

I just tell it to back up my laptops every hour anyway. If it’s not on, it just doesn’t happen, but it’s generally on enough to capture what I need.

Aspartame gives me headaches. Like “I can’t interact with people” headaches. I’ve tried it a few times and it’s always directly afterwards.

That said Stevia gives me a reaction like I had 5x the same amount of sugar, so I just have to remember if I’m adding it to something don’t use much or I’ll be hyper and then crash terribly. But at least I don’t get headaches.

Sugar gives me no problems if I have it in moderation. I generally drink water, but if I have a soda, I have one and I’m done. It’s a treat, not a way of life. Drink water people, it’s actually good for you.

I’ve used it the last few years to do Advent of Code (https://adventofcode.com/) and that’s been fun and challenging. Definitely recommend it. Better than trolling through a book of “now do this” examples if you’ve done other languages in the past.

Sadly, the deteriorating conditions are exactly what some groups want. Those are also the ones who can affect change, either with guns or money.

“$9-million” shouldn’t that be at least a “b” instead of an “m”?!

For other potentially worse manufacturers. I hate how far it’s all gone, but even buying a used/secondhand device is empowering the prior own to support one of these manufacturers.

I’m not sure how that maths out. Last time I booked a ticket (sadly a few days ago), it was a round trip with one connection each way, so 4 flights. It was an extra $600 for first class, so $150 per flight. The planes were around the 20 seats in first class size and that’d be $3k… it’s hard to say that the $3k was the bulk of the income there.

Why would you have been okay with it enough to purchase one in the first place? As an American, it’s always been pretty clear that American companies are filled with horrible data management. They actively lobby against any sort of GDPR or equivalent data laws and regularly leak data with no real ramifications.

My dead grandmother use to tell me stories about the bank account information of everyone in my neighborhood…

Tesla stock is tumbling. Don’t blame BYD, blame Elon.

Elon has been running Tesla in easy mode where there’s basically no competition. Now that there’s a bunch of other electric car makers on the market he doesn’t know how to deal with that. BYD included, but they’re not the only one with valid competition.

Also, he’s a terrible person to have as your figurehead.

Luckily it’s a jeep, so you can just take those off.
