Reddit has an absolutely massive wealth of community knowledge. If you want to find a community for $thing or gain obscure knowledge on $thing, that’s where you go (assuming there isn’t an old forum post from before Reddit killed forums).

Twitter is where a lot of people still are. If you’re the kind of person to care what a particular person says, that’s where you probably want to be.

Instagram is used by young people who have friends on Instagram.

It isn’t a great system, but it is the system that we have today. This is why legislation compelling Meta/Twitter/whothefuckever to act in an ethical manner is important. Social media is to some extent a natural oligopoly, and unless we get extremely, extremely lucky, the fediverse will always be a niche community.

The movie Titanic by James Cameron. It was very highly regarded, but the plot is a woman in her deathbed recounting how she is spending her final moments thinking about a random homeless dude she fucked as a teen and then let drown, instead of her children or husband or…literally anything else.

You’re forgetting the part where on her deathbed, she doesn’t think about her husband she spent decades with, or her children, or her family at all. She thinks about a random homeless guy she fucked as a rebellious teen.

Absolute cinema.

Kroger and Safeway have been the absolute face of enshittification since the pandemic. They’ve also been accused of price fixing, and are trying to merge into a monopoly. They also regularly abuse disabled employees (at multiple stores in my area).

I have absolutely no doubt that they will do this the moment they think they can get away with it. In a fair economy, they would have been driven out of business years ago.

Can someone eli5? Are people out there running over their own feet on razor scooters? Its difficult for me to imagine how that might be a common issue.

I’d say closer to 400. Quarter pounders have only ever been common as smashburgers or at shitty burger restaurants.

That would mean you need to enforce the law for whoever built the model. If the original creator has 100TB of cheese pizza, then they should be the one who gets arrested.

Otherwise you’re busting random customers at a pizza shop for possession of the meth the cook smoked before his shift.

Isn’t mumble hot garbage? My planet side outfit memes on it whenever it gets brought up.

The democrats are the liberal party. They support abortion, religious freedom, police reform, civil rights (sometimes), drug decriminalization, etc.

That being said, they are trying to encapsulate and entire half of the political spectrum. There’s going to be gaps, disagreements between individual party members, and places where one policy or value has to override another.

Its a retirement vehicle in that it prevents future rent raises from threatening your retirement, not in that you can/should live off of your home’s equity. Nobody wants to go back to work at 85 because their rent doubled.

It likely isn’t any different in imported models, flame retardant materials are a very basic and very important safety feature.

Also, it is surprisingly hard to import a car in the US. I’d kill for decent hot hatch that wasn’t $40k.

There isn’t much of an alternative. All major manufacturers have been doing this for a while, we are approaching the point where you’ll need to buy and maintain a classic car to avoid this type of data collection. Unfortunately, most people simply do not have the time, money, and expertise to do that. Nor should they have to.

Mazda is just as involved in this bullshit. All car manufacturers are.

Mozilla tried to rate them a few years ago and basically has to give them all the same grade because basically every can manufacturer’s privacy policy is so cartoonishly horrible.

They’re not actually worried about sharing power, they don’t want to be subject to additional federal regulation.

In this case, the issue is business interest in politics, not our weird toxic individualism.

We were supposed to build one here, but AT&T basically owns our city government lol.

They announced the project wouldn’t be moving forward because they wouldn’t/couldn’t use imminent domain to lay fiber in peoples yards. They’ve used it to build 3 stadiums in the past 20 years, and knock down entire neighborhoods in the process. Literally bulldozed multiple square miles of city.

I fucking hate it here. We gave the stadium owners a bunch of money this week to renovate their stadium for some reason.

People who prefer android because it’s open source usually use open source android because that’s what they want.

That being said, proprietary blobs and black boxes are a pox on basically every usable device these days. I hate it.

You already buy “up to” a certain speed. When the network is congested, you just deal with it.

Trying to make people budget their internet usage is stupid and pointless.

See, I know what you’re trying to say, but that would unironically be an improvement for most of us…

I’m referring to two bits of copper wire in a sleeve of (probably rubber) insulation, commonly used for landlines back in the day. If you don’t call it that, maybe it’s a regional thing.

Oh, and there’s 8 billion people on this planet. They all live in the “real world”. Your experiences are not somehow more valid because you happen to live on one particular patch of dirt.

No reason they should exist in any day and age.

Companies do not pay per packet. Paying more for more bandwidth or lower latency kind of makes sense because theoretically they may be prioritizing your traffic when the network is under too much load. But sending 16 petabytes costs exactly the same as 1kb in a month, assuming your connection is fast enough to handle 16 petabytes in a month.
