batch multiple orders together… waiting up to 15 minutes to do so? increased delivery times? disappointed customers?
sounds like doordash is doing an exemplary job replacing restaurant-employed drivers.

this is just reclassifying ‘digital’ software as taxable. the same as software on physical media already is in california. some states have a similar tax status for these products.
many states already did the same with digital video and streaming.
i don’t really see a problem with it.


i must be too old for this. i remember the hampsterdance but i’ve never heard of this badger-based knockoff.


“why didn’t you say so sooner, we would have made it bigger!”


there’s a backdoor built right into bitlocker in the form of ‘recovery keys’–and for most users, microsoft knows what they are.


the closed-source version of the internet.
even the crappy old bobcat-based (slow af amd apu) laptops i have here run with lid closed (they run piholes and what-not).


that’s the true ‘average’ person. they don’t know. they don’t understand. they don’t even want to know. they just use this magic thing that shows stuff from the internet. they don’t even know what a bookmark is, they just ‘google’ for everything. even google, ffs.
one of their earliest acquisitions, way tf back in '98
i had one back in the earliest of days and used to add missing data to credits. i still occasionally catch myself trying to use ‘us.imdb.com’ as its address.
in the uk, the ingredients list for mcd french fries is literally potatoes, oils (rapeseed, sunflower), dextrose (when needed–i.e. early crops that are low in naturally-occurring sugars). salt added after cooking. source
very much different than what they use in the u.s., which introduces multiple allergens. source


i don’t do anything on my phone. it’s a flip phone with data and wifi disabled on the device, and sms disabled at the carrier. it’s quite literally just a ‘telephone’.
if i go somewhere where i might expect a long wait alone (like to a doctor’s appointment), i’ll take a paperback with me.


and they’ve used magicband wristband trackers and rfid ticket cards for over a decade.


if these age checks ask female users to pan the camera down towards their chests, that’s gonna be a problem. a big giant huge problem.


it took over an hour and three tries to download updates to firefox and thunderbird on a system configured to use mozilla’s ppa (thunderbird is not included in mozilla’s new deb and rpm repos)


perhaps the many, many people who are trying to update and secure their existing systems or install new software or packages on them? the many others wanting to upgrade or install a new ubuntu? perhaps anyone who maintains or uses a ppa archive or other launchpad resource? there are millions of people outside of your sphere that are affected by this ongoing incident.


it’s a part of macrium reflect version 8. it’s what mounts backup images within windows to browse and recover files from. you should still be able to boot off a reflect rescue usb to do those tasks.
macrium doesn’t do perpetual licenses anymore, and they EOL’d all reflect versions sold that way. it’s all subscriptions now (according to a neighbor that uses it… he was strong-armed into upgrading to a sub from his version 8.x)–even for that previous version which they still sell (relabeled ‘ltsc’) as a subscription.


he bought land in scotland for a golf course in 2006… near where an offshore wind farm had been in planning for several years.
he either doesn’t know what due diligence is, or him being himself thought he could muscle the local and national government into nixing the wind farm (or both).
he objected to the project’s formal application. he lost.
he sued. he lost.
he appealed. he lost again.
the wind farm was built, not completed until 2016.
he’s been on an extra salty vendetta against wind power, and basically all renewables, ever since.


twitter (or rather, a bunch of little mini-twitters that can talk to each other), but without the billionaire poop-stain in charge of it.
i. do. not… oh, wait. i do. several.
(snoopy. in case you’re wondering)
