It seems like everywhere is pushing financing as an alternative to payment upfront. Even small (<$50 purchases) are being offered financing through services like Klarna. It really feels like it's become an option for almost any purchase now.

There's 3 different versions of Google pay. Not too sure what the situation is where you live, but in the US the "new" Google Pay, which was based on an app for the Indian market, is now the default one with the "old" GPay being deprecated. Google Workspace/ GSuite accounts can not sign up for the new Google Pay and are stuck using the deprecated GPay.

At least, that was the case when I got rid of my Pixel 6 months ago in favor of an iPhone :)

One feature that I really wish more search engines would have is the ability to blocklist certain domains, particularly ones whose results are never relevant or helpful to the query itself (Pinterest, Quora, etc). It could even be used as a factor in the site’s search rankings.

Installing League via Lutris is not that difficult. It's certainly not as idiot-proof as it needs to be, but the average Linux user should be capable of following the relatively simple instructions provided by communities like /r/leagueoflinux. It also runs pretty well, at least for me.

I'd also like to express my interest in US dedicated servers. I really like the pricing of your EU offering it'd be great to have something a bit closer here besides OVH!

DMCA takedown is an interesting way of spelling Streisand effect.

Google should also compensate the developer who was penalized in some way to make up for this.

There's no official Minecraft server images.

Maybe because they were productive in their own environment (like the email mentioned)? Might be an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality, but I imagine that would've also applied to many other companies they acquired.

Also anecdotal but I haven't seen a single person who thinks Reddit's new web UI is good and I've seen many people complaining about first party mobile apps.

Why not allow edits on tweets that haven't received any engagement (likes or replies) and have a low enough view count. Or even tweets that haven't been posted for very long. This would allow for edits to fix minor typos at the very least.

I think it's important to note that this is a program these people voluntarily signed up for with those terms. I agree that I probably wouldn't sign up with those terms, but they did and are acting like this was unexpected.

Even if they suspend his license I have a feeling he's going to continue doing this because "I'm not actually driving the car".

I'm wondering if these batteries will maintain their capacity over time. I think part of the appeal of traditional battery packs is you can replace them as they wear out and hold less charge. If they do degrade, hopefully a chassis/ battery replacement won't be too expensive.

Chrome is tangential to the story, but Google calling Microsoft out for trying "to break the way the open web works" is super hypocritical. Its the pot calling the kettle black.

But its talking specifically about sessions. There's plenty of inactive users on GitHub as well.

It says in the article:

> The animals were destined for South Korea, where they are eaten as a delicacy

Is this an issue with GPT-3 itself or with how it's aggregating multiple (potentially contradictory) reviews?

I feel like Reddit's moderation system might need an overhaul. Its happened quite a few times where "inactive" mods come back and wreak havoc on an otherwise successful subreddit. I feel like there should be a process to remove inactive mods.

Doesn't it kinda defeat the point of storing TOTP codes in your password manager?

The rm -rf instance you're talking about I believe is from the Steam Linux client [0]. Which is...ironically part of the Steam binary.

I spent waaaay too much time debugging configuration because I was running v2 but Google results gave me v1 options...maybe would have been a good idea to warn the user if they're using the old configuration format (afaik I didn't ever see a warning in logs).

You could firewall off non-Cloudflare requests: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/201897700-A...

To be fair the web of the early 2000s was full of ads too. I remember a time when people still used Yahoo as their homepage which was basically just a giant ad delivery platform with even more invasive ads than we have today. That's not to say that today is much better. It seems like most sites today try to walk the line between ad revenue and user retention.

I'm hoping the EFF helps them out with this case. They've tweeted in support of them[0] and its not unheard of for them to provide counsel for projects in these circumstances.

DMCA does have legitimate uses, though. If someone was stealing my IP, I'd certainly consider invoking it. It just becomes a problem when big companies with lawyers™ use it to stop someone from doing something legal that they don't like.

I have a feeling there would be some problems with people submitting valid and helpful PRs but they aren't merged in time to be counted.

In regards to search interest, I have a feeling that specific distributions (specifically "Ubuntu") have replaced the use of "Linux" in Google searches.

How much of this is a consequence of companies intentionally crippling their websites, though? I can name countless companies that either don't have a website beyond what is essentially a link to the app store or have removed a significant number of features from their website.

A dot inside could be mistaken for theta, especially with a bleedy pen.
