They are legal if you follow the regulations. The problem with the “rideshare” companies is that they don’t. We should just call them “unregulated taxis” rather than pretending that they are a different service. I think just about every taxi company these days is on some app or another (often the same that call unregulated cabs in countries that actually got their shit together and banned the unregulated ones).

Nah it’s worse. Bitcoin actually has legitimate uses. (Yes, they are a minority of actual usage, but they exist.) NFTs are only useful for speculation, gambling and money laundering.

“Rideshare” is also the least accurate term used to dodge regulations. It is just a taxi/cab. You are paying someone to get you from one place to another. They aren’t sharing their ride, they were never going where you are going before you told them to.

Yeah, downtown there are tons of gas-station brands that are just convenience stores. Surely many gas stations will offer electric charging but since most people will be charging at home the total number of gas stations will surely drop. Some will turn into convenience stores and some will just shut down.

You forgot step 2. Throw sacrificial drive into trash.

This is also likely interesting because console SDKs are usually highly restricted. So not only is the Minecraft code leaked (which is probably moderately interesting) it is likely that the console APIs are quite interesting to emulator developers and reverse engineering for other PS3 games.

Please be polite. If you don’t like a post you can downvote it. If you would like to comment please be more civil.

Nah, 90% chance that they do something stupider.

Yeah, I get it. It is definitely dry and it is shampoo 😆

You are thinking of something else. Bar shampoo is intended to be used with water much like bar soap. Dry shampoo is just sprayed or rubbed into hair without any water.

While Amazon is awful it isn’t just them. It is a systematic issue with our economic system. Our society constantly makes efforts to keep the poor poor so that they are forced to work for low pay resulting in a cycle of abuse. Basically every public company will end up in the same situation and we see that with every large company. If a large public company isn’t shit the CEO will be fired by the shareholders and replaced with one who makes the company shit.

So yes, avoid Amazon, but also talk to your government representatives. The cycle will always continue until the incentives are changed. To properly exit this shit system we need to change our society and government.

The “dumb” solution is to just import both into one feed reader then export a new OPML. I assume most readers will deduplicate (at least to a basic degree) on import.

How is this faulty? The degree of damage is incredibly relevant. We don’t make everything that could ever cause damage illegal, because we have nothing left. Laws are a balancing act of pros and cons to society.

A car has far less visibility (they are inside a box with a few windows) will will do far more damage if they hit someone. A cyclist has dramatically better visibility (they have basically an unobstructed 180° view) and especially when going slow is very unlikely to cause significant damage (posing risk of significant harm only the the most frail and elderly).

If not requiring complete stops for cyclists leads to 1% more cyclists on the road (because their travel is easier) it almost certainly causes less harm overall due to how dangerous cars are and also their indirect health effects (both inactivity when driving and the pollution).

So no, the logic isn’t faulty at all and probably one of the most important arguments.

I guess it depends how you look at it. From my point of view the speaker isn’t actually talking about themselves. That is the “royal” part. And I mean she does say “as if” to back up that yes, she is not actually including herself.

I use https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/ which is well, fantastic. I have it set up as the default diff for Git and it is really nice.

No, this is the right meaning royal we. If you say “we are going into battle” it is talking about the person being talked to not the person talking. So in this case “We don’t eat that” would be implying that the cat doesn’t eat that, not actually saying anything about the speaker even though “we” would imply they are included.

Misuse of /s.

It’s also super locked down. You are only allowed to use it if Google or Apple says that your device is authorized. So no root, no custom ROMs. Unless your phone is owned by a corporation and that corporation is blessed by Apple or Google you are out of luck. (There are currently ways around this but the gaps are slowly being closed as older devices are phased out.)

No I just use YouTube’s feeds.

Yes, a lot of feeds, especially the more commercial ones, only have a teaser in the feed. Most people don’t like this. But lots of feeds want to try and estimate how many readers they have. Since RSS has better privacy by design they can’t really tell if you read it or not. So they force you to visit the site.

However IMHO RSS is still valuable here. Because now I get my notifications in the same place. For example I subscribe to YouTube via RSS even though YouTube tries as hard as it can to force you to watch the video on-site or in-app. This is because RSS lets me reliably get notified about all of the channels and playlists that I am interested in. I can also mix in feeds from elsewhere (Nebula, PeerTube, …) into the same feed so that I just look at one place and have all of my video history.

In some cases you can combat this. Many feed readers will attempt to scrape the full article from the site. This means that you may not have to leave your reader to enjoy the whole article. However this isn’t very reliable and can be pretty difficult depending on how antagonistic the site is. There are also tools that will consume the original feel and produce a new feed with (hopefully) full text articles.

But at the end of the day this is the choice the site is offering you. If you don’t find their feeds useful just don’t use them. You can either visit manually to check, use whatever other notification systems they provide or try to build your own feed (see “feed builder” tools that scrape sites to produce feeds).
