Or alternatively: Breakfast.

Windows 10. I’ve since moved on to 11 but haven’t tried it since then.

I am also interested in the Lemmy opinion of windscribe. My wife really likes them but their app used to brick my computer requiring a hard reset so I don’t use them.

Honestly I love my tablet for reading manga. I know that as a kid I would have found a way to use it for other things but I think I would consider it for my kid for reading manga and comics. Maybe some type of e ink device…

Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!

I’m an American but the $1 burgers from Maccas were a life saver down there. I used to get 2 a day while I hitchhiked. But y’all also have canned tuna with some great flavors!

I was told going down there that it was outrageously expensive. And I found that true when talking about non-essentials, headphones and quality clothes. But groceries were shockingly cheap the entire time I was down there. I could spend $30 on a burger and fries, or I could get a weeks worth of food from woolies or coles.

Even better, the corner store, the gas station really, was owned by coles and I could get milk and eggs (things I want fresh, in small batches) and a small selection of anything else I wanted for the exact same price as the larger stores! This freed me up to get veggies and fruit at the market and always have enough food unlike at home.

While in Australia, I had higher quality food for less money with more convenience. All while getting told by people back home how expensive it was when they visited. Maybe I had a different experience since I went for a year but I live in Seattle now and I miss having a corner store within a 5 minute walk that sold all my essentials.

Also Woolies has their mini stores in the big cities and those things are fire.

But I’d rather look at what modern people are doing and saying.

We would too but unfortunately fascists pretend that they’re not fascist by claiming their political party freed the slaves.

This obviously ignores their bigotry and hate for people of color and distaste for women… And well, I digress. Suffice to say that these assholes try to claim they’re not racist despite all the racist bullshit and hate they spread, and they use this claim as proof.

We would love to ignore it but we can’t. Best we can do is inform ourselves.

Literally anything as long as I take ritalin first. Turns out I have ADHD.

You know I don’t work with fractions of an inch on a daily basis… Or even monthly. But inevitably a couple times a year it’s relevant. Every single time I have to take 3/4 multiply it by 2 and get 6/8, then I have to subtract 1/8 to get to 5/8. Repeat ad nauseum to get to whatever time fraction is needed.

It’s frustrating and slow and makes me feel dumb.

That said last time I did it, I measured a 1/8th difference between cabinets we ordered from IKEA and the space they went in and I’ll tell you what, I felt like a genius when it all just fit, perfectly.

It seems as though you underestimate the appeal of billions of dollars. It’s not just the ability to never have to work again. Or power, prestige or any other nonsense. Or even just having tons of money. It’s not greed that makes it appealing.

It’s the security. The safety if knowing you’ll never have to worry about food or housing. That your parents and family will be well taken care of. Your children will be able to have it all, that you’ve set them up for success and they won’t have to struggle. It’s knowing that your best friend who was diagnosed with cancer will have the best care available, wherever that may be in the world, and won’t have to worry about food or housing or anything else while getting better.

You’re either too young to understand or are lacking in empathy.

I’m not saying being a billionaire isn’t inherently immoral. But the reason people take payouts like that are not solely down to greed.

I mean that’s cool but also not really a rebuttal to the user above. Now the person above is not correct. Kids absolutely know when they’re getting the short end of a deal or at least when it comes to stuff they care about. And Congress didn’t give a flying fuck about the good of the children or we’d have a food guarantee for all children and single prayer health care already.

Yeah, you’re right. I’m glad that they’re paid more and I’m glad tipping is still possible but it just seems super uncool to remove the prompt.

I had an argument with a coworker once about their second job. They said they blacklist people who don’t tip them for delivering pizza. I was surprised and asked them to explain and they said that most of their money came from tips. Without it they made state minimum wage and the job wasn’t worth it.

I said they should be paid better.

My coworker responded that they are paid better by people tipping and that’s why they blacklist people who don’t tip.

I followed it up by pushing the idea that the restaurant should be paying them more so that the job is worth it without tips. And well… The whole thing devolved for some reason and almost ended with me getting punched.

Either way I think you should be paid a living wage and have the ability to get tips for going above and beyond. Tipping shouldn’t be the norm/required but it should be available and it sounds like it is in this case just a bit more hidden.

Well that’s fucked up

Edit: Honestly now that I look at the site linked… I just have no idea what this site is or who I’d be donating to. I’ve never seen that website before.

Amazon is a company in the technology sector. They might be a retailer but they are also a part of big tech and the foundation of much of the Internet. A large portion of their workforce are tech workers.

Articles like this are not focused on warehouse employees, they have to go into the office to do their jobs at all. This article is talking about people who don’t have to go into work to perform their job… Like tech workers.

So like it or not, this is tech news.

Exactly. You should have said it so others don’t have to point it out.

I finally deleted Twitter from my phone a couple weeks ago.

I only used it for porn for the last 3 years and hadn’t been on in over a month but I saw an article on here and was curious. So I opened it up and looked to see how the porn situation was going. I was going to keep it around if I could find a bit of good porn. But I scrolled and scrolled down through my feed and I only had politics, bigots, ragebait, and hateporn. I hadn’t realized it had gotten so bad… I also have no idea where all my porn creators fled to.

Oh well, nothing of value was lost.

Hopefully this will include groceries. I hate when I go to buy something and it says $9.99 and I get up to the register and they hit me with this stupid, obnoxious hidden fee!

I only have a $10 bill, it says it costs less then $10. Why is it not false advertising to have it say $9.99 when it costs $12.37 at the register?

The whole thing is a scam.

Actually I would assume that most people with 3 or more drives are running some form of RAID 5.

With 4 drives and this structure I receive the capacity of 3 drives. The final drive is called the “parity” drive which keeps some kind of copy of the information on it. If one drive fails then I can replace it with a new drive and rebuild the data from parity. This is a long process that requires the data off the parity drive and the other two drives. But you can do this with any disk, from any other three disks.

It’s really cool. Sure there are speed benefits but the real kicker is the size of the pool. With current tech I can fairly reasonably get four 18TB drives SSD’s have a long way to go before they affordably reach that kind of capacity.

I just bought 4 hard drives. They are the most cutest effective way of storing data for most people. I’m pretty sure tape is more expensive, if it’s not there are other issues like sequentially written data. Anyway, this is a dumb example and I don’t expect old reddit to last.
