And yet that is all it takes to grind this government to a halt - they ask for basically nothing at all and still, they are given no quarter. They should almost all be fired, the red hats should be just as mad at their idiot congresspeople for accomplishing nothing.
Case in point, 80 year old woman in San Francisco going 70 in a residential area kills family of 4 waiting at a bus stop, including children aged 1 and 3 - and the judge gave her 2 years probation. And the REALLY good news is that she’ll be back on the road in 3 years! Justice!!!
Diana Cowern of the Physics Girl YouTube channel is a great example of the impacts of long COVID - she was bedridden for 3 years, and still cannot function normally today. There are a handful of videos on the channel from throughout her struggle if you want to understand better.
Not from THEMSELVES, never from themselves.
Time better spent rotting your brain on the internet with the rest of us.
I set up service in a new state last year with Comcast and was shocked that there was NOT a rental fee for the router/modem any longer. But idk if that’s them being forced to compete more than they had to in my previous area, or if they cut the fee across the board.
One time as a kid, I got myself in trouble and I got TV taken away from me - my dad came up to my room with a pair of scissors and just cut my coax cable. I stripped that bad boy and shoved the end back in to my TV, worked a treat. I also had my wifi antenna from my desktop taken from me at some point, so I took a paper clip and stuck it in there - not GREAT reception, but it was good enough!
Yeah, Verbatim still remains… For now.
Oh that’s right - I forgot that the drives were slowly going disco too. Bleak indeed.
I have bad news for you - Panasonic, Sony, and Samsung have all stopped production on BR-R discs.
Well last time we had the deplorable, violent racists trying to run the show, they had to be crushed into submission - so maybe, yeah. They must be shown that their vile ideas and actions have consequences. CLEARLY they haven’t received enough consequences lately, given their utter lack of shame in <current year>. When it really comes down to it, I’d bet their small minority can’t possibly put up a large enough fighting force willing to stick their necks our for racism anyways, certainly none of the octogenarian monsters at the top.
He just accepted a gold bar and Rolex in exchange for removing tariffs on Switzerland. Even if that were a 1 kilo gold bar, that’s $160,000. He got all his tech goons to contribute $1M to his inauguration.
I’m certainly not forgetting, but in the interest of brevity, I decided not to detail out the hundreds of different ways Diaper Don has been bribed or otherwise fleeced his loyal idiots.
I read she made $30M from the film - that’s pretty shockingly obscene compared to all the big tech innaguration bribes - of “only” $1M.
You’re definitely right about them prohibiting devs from pointing to a web browser to subscribe. They can’t link, can’t even use language that explains WHY you can’t subscribe in the app (if the dev decides to forego using Apples payment system entirely). I think that THIS was what Apple recently was forced by a judge to relax, after the Apple v Epic case.
I must have been conflating the policy that they ABSOLUTELY did have (but only til 2011) and the outside links issue. Hughes Hubbard
Under the February rules, if developers wanted to use content purchased outside of the app, they also had to offer the content for in-app purchase and it had to be offered at the same price or less than it was offered elsewhere, despite the fact that Apple takes a 30% cut.
Apple has quietly changed its guidelines on the pricing of In-App Subscriptions on the App Store. There are no longer any requirements that a subscription be the “same price or less than it is offered outside the app”.
Apple doesn’t allow this - they expect your price to be the same everywhere or they’ll remove the app from their store or decline version updates. There have historically been a few high profile exceptions privately negotiated, and I think they were forced to relax this in the last year or two, but here they are again trying to claw away money they did literally nothing to earn.
I don’t give a fuck to fight in front of some fucking billionaires and rich people that could give a shit less about me. Probably throwing parlays. Fuck you guys."
I mean, I appreciate him taking a stand here. But I’m not really sure what he thinks his day job even is? MMA ticket prices for floor seats can be around $1,500, options up into the $10,000 range.
It’s funny - before I actually clicked that link, I assumed it was Sony bricking PSP devices with custom firmware. I’d entirely forgotten they put ROOT KITS on their music CDs. They didn’t get in near enough trouble over that.
So you read all of that, and came away with “checks out”? If they were technically correct, maybe. But the way their post was stated, they implied the colonies were freaking out over a tax cut that benefited them. Instead, it was the age old tradition of cutting taxes for the wealthy and continuing to tax the Americans disproportionately.
I haven’t read every single comment, but yours is the first I’ve found that eliminates presidential immunity. One of the most important things we can do is close up all the loopholes these vile billionaires have located and abused and this is definitely a big one. Use the powers granted to the president to codify real progress, then shut down the ability for a president to crown himself king permanently and throw away the key.
They got Capone for tax evasion.
