I had one of these plans for over a decade. It was fun while it lasted—I won’t be staying with the company after this.

I guess it’s your business, if you want your bar to lose money, that’s your choice.
Good point. As I understand it, the Cybertruck’s stock tires are not, in fact, a good tire choice.

Who else watched this and thought of the jailbreak scene at the beginning of The Goonies?
In a similar vein, Joe Biden, who signed the TikTok ban into law, had already joined TikTok.
Let’s face it, the U.S. has not been consistent with respect to foreign-owned social media companies, and what it really needs to do is pass meaningful privacy protections. Instead, you get this nonsense.
tab grouping
Sure, okay.
vertical tabs
To each their own.
profile management
Whatever, it’s fine.

HOLLUP
Both are risking the lives and safety of the non-consenting public as they beta test 2-ton vehicles on public streets. Damn them both.
2014 phones also fit in my hand. I miss that size, you can’t even find them now.
Wait, do I actually agree with Aaron Rogers on something?
(Reads AngryCommieKender’s clarification.)
Nope, false alarm!
I think anyone who thinks otherwise either curated it to be awful or didn’t really use it at all.
. . . or was targeted by harassment campaigns that the company did a poor job of protecting against. Plenty of celebrities and political actors realized they could weaponize their fanbases to go after critics, and Twitter never did much to stop it. For public officials or organizations, twitter too often was a cesspool of abuse that they couldn’t afford to leave, and that was messed up. (I think the balance has shifted now, that they can afford to leave and have a moral obligation to do so, but many haven’t.)
I always enjoyed my twitter experiences, because like you, I curated a nice feed to follow (and used a browser to keep on chronological timeline). But I was just a follower, mostly, and was never targeted by the really nasty stuff. But I’m not so myopic as to declare that what worked for me wasn’t awful for many other folks.
Amazon Music
I invested heavily in the Amazon Music ecosystem, I bought hundreds of albums on there, and the platform is now very nearly unusuable. I cannot even listen to the songs that I paid for without also having to listen to ads. And the Android app now hides the downloads in some hidden folder so I can’t even download them and listen to them on another player. It makes me furious.
I’ve actually gone back to CDs, if you can believe it. It’s kind of nice sometimes, especially for full album plays, but I do miss a nice big playlist of my favorite songs from all artists.
😂😂😂
In seriousness, what is the payment to artists like nowadays on TIDAL? Dare I even ask?
I really wish there was a better alternative to push my friends to. I do use Bandcamp, so at least I know more of my $$$ are going to the artists and I can take the music with me, but I’m not sure about the platform long-term.
I thought you were going to say that they are much older on average and are more likely to suffer from incontinence, which is a problem of its own.
Same, although I may not wait that long, I’m looking at a new PC build and I can’t justify a Windows OS nowadays, particularly since Steam on LInux is working relatively well for the (admittedly modest) games I like to play.
Last I checked, this was common in West Virginia primary schools.
The engineer was critiquing NC infrastructure
Well, good, a lot of North Carolina road infrastructure is dangerous bullshit, and members of the public shouldn’t be stymied by state panels from pointing out that road deaths have been increasing in North Carolina, despite fewer vehicle miles traveled.
Non-paywalled article here:
Officers arrested one of the bar’s owners because he refused to show them ID? The officers just crashed into his bar in the middle of the night, he gets out of bed to see what that loud noise was, and they arrest him because he won’t show them ID? In Missouri police can only ask to see ID if there is a reasonable suspicion of some wrongdoing, and I can’t see that a building owner is doing anything wrong when he checks on the probationary cops that just plowed into his building because they suck at driving or were driving too fast.
