It’s also dumb to just assume that foreign companies can just flip a switch and start building/assembling whatever they sell in America. You need facilities, you need to hire employees, you need to train employees. You can’t just pick up your factory, drop it in Kansas, and just slot people into the building to work it right away.
But every sector has been ravaged by the stock market changes.
You just don’t know what you’re talking about. The S&P 500 is up like 25% over the same period. You’re just buying into specific sectors. Don’t do that. Buy market index funds or target date funds and stop trying to actively manage your retirement account. Also, you haven’t lost anything in value because you haven’t realized the losses by cashing out. It’s better for you currently if things are a lower price because you’re buying them at a discount.
If that’s Saddam Who’s Sane, where Saddam Who’s Insane?
I used to use it solely for sports news updates. Once Elon bought it, kept constantly getting politics news that I didn’t want. Kept adding blocked terms hoping to not see it anymore. Nope. Kept getting pushed right wing bullshit. Deleted and never looked back. It helps that people have actually moved to Bluesky. The biggest issue I have is with Reddit and Lemmy not having the sports communities here. Game threads for Orioles games had 0 comments. I’m not going to just sit there and post to myself.
The only thing I need a Chromium based browser for is casting my totally legit streams of sporting events to my TV.
A great use of plastic…
Talk about a gross mischaracterization of what is actually said in that blog post. You made it seem like Firefox is getting rid of ad blocking which is far from the truth of what that post says. It doesn’t even mention ad blocking. Maybe don’t editorialize a post and present it as fact.
Waterproofing is very difficult with a headphone jack
Something I have heard in the past but is a headphone jack that much harder to waterproof vs a USB-C port? I’m genuinely curious because I don’t know. It feels like the two would be of a similar difficulty.
I mean, machine learning and AI does have benefits especially in research in the medical field. The consumer AI products are just stupid though.
Yeah, I’m not saying it’s not a good practice, but I just don’t see them doing it.
You don’t want crypto, don’t use it.
I use Brave as my Chrome based browser when not using Floorp but there were other issues with Brave in the past like injecting their affiliate links unbeknownst to users so they could make money off them. They have reverted that decision but that they thought it was acceptable in the first place leaves some to question, rightly, what other shenanigans they might pull. They’ve also had issues with paying out Creators BAT tokens.
Now they will be forced to look at ads.
I’m pretty sure they would’ve been seeing ads anyways. I doubt that school IT administrators had uBlock Origins as an extension that was being installed and I really doubt they didn’t have the chromebooks locked down so students could install whatever extensions they wanted.
Yeah, I do the same with my mortgage. Statements emailed to me monthly so I never need to log in to get them (annual escrow statement as well). Payments made via my normal bank’s Bill Pay feature. No reason to ever log in to my mortgage holder’s website/app.
Clean water is for pussies.
Well when you only consume monster energy drinks and miller lite, why would you need water?
You’re telling me the part that doesn’t care about feeding kids, universal health care, clean water, and clean air but is pro gun, pro war, and pro forced birth isn’t Pro Life? SHOCKED!
I’ve completely lost faith in places like Amazon. Used to be able to find decent stuff there but unless you’re looking for a specific brand/item, it’s all crap. Wanted to find some relatively decent priced workout shorts with a compression liner built in. There’s so many shitty brands that all have the same damn images for the shorts. They’re all just going to be drop shipped BS from China with no one actually standing behind the product. I’m back to B&M stores now like Dick’s and their DSG line is actually reasonably priced and good quality.
Oh they already are. But if they start making porn subs like gonewild as paid services, those users are going to push the limits of whats allowed in other subs to try and just get people to stumble into their profile.
I can’t even imagine the creators in those subreddits would be thrilled since so many of them seemingly use those subs as a free advertising spot for their onlyfans. More of them are trying to be creative with overtly sexual questions in askreddit and people just stumbling in to their profile.
Thanks. I was legitimately confused by Minecraft because I never saw anything negative added to Java edition but I’ve never played Bedrock. Minecraft keeps pumping out free content updates so they seem like a good example of what to do for a company.
