I'd like to believe that enough of us actually stopped using chrome and switched to Firefox the day they made that announcement that swayed them... But in reality I'm sure it was just the bad press and they're going to try to find a different more sneaky way to do the same shit.

And buying back the stock has the effect of making the stock price go up. And guess who gets the most stock? The CEO and C suite. They give themselves huge raises by doing this and it's perfectly legal :(

I got the pop up. I disabled it. But I just got an email from Plex telling me everything my family member watched in the last week. This is complete shit!!

No the comic is pointing out that the sun and the earth are both orbiting the milky way galactic center.

Edit: While also true, I was wrong, they orbit the center of mass of the two body problem (earth and sun). I still think that's too simple of a way to look at it. It's not a two body problem and the other planets and the whole galaxy are also in play.

We need Ranked Choice Voting at all levels including the presidency before we can have lots of different parties.

Logging in to cancel my switch online right now. I was using YUZU to play games I bought from them, in some cases even more than once. F Nintendo. I won't be buying a Switch 2.

It's not free, we are paying for everything NASA does with our taxes.

I've done a similar build out in my Northern Lite camper. 800w on the roof and 400ah of lithium. I want to convert the fridge to an electric compressor fridge and the stove over to induction next. I hate it when the batteries fill back up by 10am and I waste solar meanwhile I am still buying propane for the appliances.

Don't forget good hardware too. The switch is an absolutely terrible hand held device. My hands cramp up nearly instantly trying to play on it.

I have purchased BOTW and TOTK for the switch, but I play them on my steam deck with YUZU Waaaay better experience.

If there were no ads at all I'd instantly subscribe. But I don't pay for anything that has ads. It's either free with ads, or paid with no ads.

$10,000 a year to provide a single person housing? To put that in perspective. I'd assume that means a studio type apartment of some kind. Not high end, but a roof and place to live for $10,000 a year. I have a 1500sqft home in Washington state on 3 acres of land, and I pay $27,000 a year for my mortgage. So to me, $10,000 seems reasonable for a government funded studio for a year.

Probably because they know if it gets implemented they will get tossed out. What a shame.

"Nice" cars, taking a Vacation, and name brand clothing isn't the demographic of rich we should all be fighting against. The actual rich wouldn't define anything they do or buy that way. They don't buy nice or fancy cars, they buy luxury cars. They don't buy name brand clothes, they buy designer clothes. They don't go on vacation, they just travel to their 10th summer home on their 3rs yacht and take a couple conference calls on the way.

I hate seeing the definition of middle class and the lower class fighting against each other. That's literally what the ultra rich want, they love it, it's their other favorite hobby.

Just because someone might barely make it out of the lower class and be able to afford a higher trim level on their Honda, and actually take a vacation doesn't mean that's a bad thing, what should fighting together for that be a thing for everyone in the lower class.

I've too have tried giving stuff away for free and I always the worst experience, unappreciative people who want to manipulate any way they can, or no show etc.

But when I post it for a low price it completely removes that group and suddenly I get nice people who have wanting this thing for so long but struggled to afford it and they will go out of their way to meet up. Usually I just giving it to them free after they've been so easy to work with and their mind gets blown. They show initiative, they work hard for what they want and get rewarded for it. This is the way.

Oysters on the half shell, raw, are alive not dead. I love seafood too, and eat raw sashimi grade fish all the time but yeah I've never eaten a raw alibe oyster either.

KDE Plasma. It came on my steam deck which was my first intro to it, it blew me away and installed it on my laptop and finally ditched Windows shortly after. Works great for me.

dirtbiker509 bing image creation

My Lemmy instance wont let anyone upload any pictures. Is there a way to embed inline an image to a comment in this case? Edit: found the solution finally.
