  • Hot takes incoming from the Telegraph. Someone lock this guy up in the bottom of a shuttered coalfire plant with a typewriter and an iPhone with only Tumblr and Tinder installed. We may have found a carbon-neutral way to get those turbines turning!

  • The guy who made it has bad beliefs. It's good software from what I can tell, and free as in speech and free as in beer, but if you use it you get his bad bigot cooties. You have to use free software by certified free range organic non-bigots or it rubs off on you I guess.

  • It's just websites. I'm not downloading your shitty app to look at your website. That's what a browser is for.

  • I also like to think of it in terms of hours for goods.

    A Switch 2 is like $500. A game for it is $70. The minimum US wage for an hour of human labor is $7.25.

    The right to play Pokemon legally is worth 78.62 hours of productive labor, or 2 weeks of full employment.

    According to Zillow the average rent in the US is $2000. So the average landlord is entitled to the equivalent of 275.86 hours of the minimum value of labor. That's 6.9 (ni.ce) weeks of full employment.

    Financial advisors say no more than 25-30% of your income should go to housing. The average rent is $2000/mo, so the average income should be $8000/mo. The average landlord thinks the average American should make $96,000/y. $7.25/h4052 = $15,080/y. Based on the 25% rule one should be able to find a place renting for $314.17 somewhere.

  • Hey the way I figure that's 2240 cal on an 8 hour shift, so not like you can't eat on that. What more can you expect from a "minimum" wage? Rent? A house? Utilities? Insurance? A family? A life? Please, these jobs are for high school kids trying to buy some hash browns on the side. Our hash brown based economy would collapse if we paid people enough to cover the costs of life

  • All roads lead back to hedonism

  • To me this didn't feel like shaming, but I guess it's easy to forget not everyone here is currently vegan.

  • I'm torn about PIA. Kape is scetchy (and based out of an apartheid state), but PIA itself is court-tested.

  • That's somewhat concerning, but without a similar tool as an alternative or a clearly malicious incident I'm probably not going to stop using it any time soon. I only scratched the surface of one of those references anyway, and looks like digging through them to see the discourse and the meta-discourse would take a little while.

    If it's a point of genuine concern however, there's always Rufus or Etcher for writing a single ISO at a time, unless they are blob-dependent too. Or dd haha

  • Go to Microcenter and buy 3 USB sticks. Make sure one is big enough for backing up all you home / documents directory. Make sure the others are of good size too, 32GB is more than enough.

    Go home and make a copy of your home directory onto one of the disks. It will take a while.

    Go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 And follow one of the instructions on making Windows 11 bootable media with your second disk. Test that it works then set it aside.

    Go to Ventoy's website and download it here: https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html Follow the instructions and make the third USB stick a Ventoy disk. Ventoy lets you load multiple ISO files on a single disk.

    Go to https://distrowatch.com/ and pick some distros, some operating systems. Download the ISOs and drop them in empty partition on your ventoy disk. Don't forget you may need to change the boot order in your UEFI/BIOS to boot to it,

    Explore and have fun.

  • To them it's more trouble to actually double check or review hits then to just give people a blanket ban if they might could possibly be shoplifters.
