deprecative

I'll be the person. This is capitalism. It's exactly capitalism's whole shtick. It's a plague.

True, I bet things got a little weird in and around 2020 for literally no reason at all.

Found this in the comments. "Of the games we included in the Sandbox group, Minecraft was highest at 24% and is dragged down by titles like Dwarf Fortress."

Google is paying to get / retain market share. Google is also paying to prevent antitrust suits.

I don't want to pick a fight with anyone about this. Is this not what Apple does? What immediately comes to mind is browsers on iOS, proprietary cables, and locking iMessage to their platform. Apple is a walled gardener and they'll wall their gardens.

There's nothing they can say to make this right. Fast food is already egregiously priced and Wendy's only wants to make it worse for consumers by raising prices otherwise. They can call it what they will but prices have almost doubled in my area. A single medium meal costs at least $8. If the quality of ingredients were in line I wouldn't have near as much of an issue. If this was what we had to do to get liveable wages in fast food workers in the US, again, I'm happy for this. Unfortunately, we all know all this would do is give the person who thought of it a bonus, increase executive pay disparity, and further reduce the point of a fast food stop.

Right? Elon won't save you. He's a billionaire who specializes in siphoning tax payer money into his companies and pretending like he has a clue.

Sure seems like this should be a drop down that updates a preview image in change.

Which is what a checkbox is. A switch element seems needlessly duplicative. A checkbox and a switch have the same purpose. I don't mind it entirely after all we have plenty of block level elements that do the same things as one another. This just feels like a solution in search of a problem.

That's the thing, though. Nothing will change until realities change for our owners. Until that happens the status quo will carry on. Only until the government and wealth can no longer generate requisite money from labor will anything be done and it will be only the bare minimum.

It's the perfect time from a price point perspective. I can get a large pizza for the same price as a single large meal at a fast food restaurant. If Wendy's pumps the prices up further it'll be even more advantageous. Yeah, you need to order ahead to keep convenience but these days apps are basically a necessity with fast food places anyway.

Beginning as early as 2025, I will begin testing a variety of enhanced features during my moments of culinary weakness like Arby's, McDonald's, Taco Bell, and suggest pizza and restaurants based on factors such as time of day and present company.

Right? Could just be a mirror for management to look at.

Watch Elon call it something like Airship and have it be fit for tens to hundreds of people per launch with no need for a pilot (though one may be present). It'd take twenty years to get to market, sure, but hey that's progress.

This would be nice. It's not the end of the world to convert them myself but given the large readership base that uses Freedom I'd like to see these with both. It's much easier for them to add our units than it is for us to adopt metric here anytime soon.

Most folks don't control when their lunch break, dinner time, or even breakfast are. All this does is raise prices for those who have no choice in the matter. It won't result in cheaper meals it'll result in even higher costs.

So many people seem to forget that we live under capitalism. Why is it always for customers and rarely employee compensation? The latter costs money and the former increases already obscene profits. It's capitalism. That's why.

Just an FYI, the acronym for the United States Supreme Court is SCOTUS. Supreme Court of the United States. POTUS is the president, as well.

Productivity has gone up while quality of life has gone down over the last half century. Yeah, we can get groceries delivered now but we're never not working or preparing for work. We have worse economic realities and the cost of living is sky rocketing.

Sure doesn't seem like that's holding these days.

Middle millennial here. I learned cursive in elementary school for a few months. After the module was over we all went back to printing and nobody made us write in cursive. I can probably struggle through most of the cursive alphabet but I couldn't write the alphabet as a whole.

This seems like expected behavior. Newer cars have 'smart keys' and those are going to be worth more than most older cars. If you're going to steal you'll want to optimize for value.

Back when we'd use HTML tables for the entire layout. CSS wasn't a big thing and it couldn't do what you'd want. Even today plenty of emails are done via table hacking. I think your overall point is correct but the origin of the behavior, both human and web layout, are older than that.

Yet in the US they took it away and we thanked them for the honor. It seems to be coming back but not quite these days.

The issue is that it doesn't say what the letters of the acronym stand for. ADB? Maybe it means Acme Digitization Business.

My answer doesn't change. I'm not on LinkedIn during work hours.

I think there's a line or maybe some Venn Diagram meme about hack back hackers and "I'll refactor this later".

Not trying to start anything with either type. We're all guilty of these platitudes and well intentioned lies.

If I got a message like this I'd just block the sender. As a developer I have no say in what my owner tells me to work on. I type what they want and nothing more.

The media is pro wealth. It's no pro labor. They operate as a clickbait factory with nothing of value desperate for eyes on ads and nothing else.

SWEs are all rockstar who would only be hurt by unions they say just before they get fired because a higher up wants their bonus or their stock price to go up for their 'portfolio'. It could never happen to them.

Well, when you play with fire you get burned.

What's not to understand? Spotify doesn't control the ads baked into content. They control their ads. They can't remove the ads in podcasts. Paying for YouTube Premium doesn't remove ad reads from the creator.

Your options are to support the podcast directly for an ad free experience if it exists, listen to the podcast anyway, or stop supporting podcasts that do this by not listening to them.
