Not to mention they're worse at keeping time.

You know, like the whole point of a watch.

Rodeo ,

9:07am and tell me to return 15 minutes after and I'd be pulling out my phone every 5 seconds and doing math.

Is it really so hard to add 15?

Rodeo ,

Panik: your Debian stable system is so ancient it still contains the heartbleed bug.

Rodeo ,

Holy shit this is too real.

"All of the colossal problems facing society will still be charging forward unimpeded, but at least you can feel good about it!"

Rodeo ,

It really is the same energy

Rodeo ,

I mean that is basically what people's UI complaints usually boil down to: things are in different places than where I'm used to.

Rodeo ,

Because when you press save, it saves the gimp project. It makes sense, because you're working on a project in gimp, and that project has to be converted to a different format for use as an image.

It's like expecting MS Word to print the page when you click save.

Rodeo ,

So you have to fiddle with the volume less on vinyl?

That's the one good selling point I've heard for vinyl so far.

Rodeo ,

For every story of a person being given a raise, there a million stories of a person fighting for a raise and being denied.

Even the union jobs those others guys are talking about, you know what the raises are in our new contract? Five cents for the equivalent of three years of full time work.

Don't be fooled by the echo chamber of cushy office jobs that is so prevalent on Lemmy. You hear about these things because almost nobody else here has to work these shitty jobs like we do.

Rodeo ,

Don't give the landlords any ideas.

Rodeo ,

Don't give the landlords any ideas.

Rodeo ,

Owner. It's what the owner is taking, and usually they're working way less than everyone else.

Rodeo ,

Neat.

Rodeo ,

For every example like this there are a million examples of poor people staying poor.

Social mobility is much less than we like to pretend it is.

Rodeo ,

So can you answer his question or did you just see an opportunity to brag about yourself.

Rodeo ,

Is he drinking out of a sippy cup?

Rodeo ,

I believe that's a Calvin and Hobbes reference.

Rodeo ,

That user base is a drop in the ocean compared to most of reddits user base, and those people have all left already.

Rodeo ,

Before tablets, parents didn't survive.

Rodeo ,

Does watching TV really count as quality time together?

Rodeo ,

They can actually afford something! Lucky.

I checked again last week: a trailer built in 1974, on 1/4 acre, a two hour drive from my job is $191k.

That's $84k out of my budget. For a broke down trailer in a neighborhood that might as well be a junkyard.

Fuck the world.

Rodeo ,

Suggesting molasses as an alternative for honey lmao

Rodeo ,

Damn people took this way too seriously lmao

Rodeo ,

Oh but the word mankind in itself overlooks women. We're all supposed to be saying humankind now.

Rodeo ,

It's not the tax write off that benefits the executives. It's the fact that they appoint themselves as executives of the charity too, and as such they can legally pay themselves a salary out of the donations they receive.

Got $10m in charity donations? Whoops looks like our executives’ salaries cost $9.9m, guess we can only donate $100k

Rodeo ,

There's not a word in this article about why this breach of privacy matters while others do not. It's not stated whether this was in the terms of service for the app, and whether those terms were ruled against.

All kinds of apps have been selling personal information for a long time, and it's been ruled before that it's allowed if they have the proper legalese in the terms of service. Did this app just not have any terms of service?

Why is it a breach of privacy for this app, but other apps doing the same selling of personal data is not?

Rodeo ,

I read the article too, and those things you quoted sound to me like things every app does.

Hence my question: what is different here?

Rodeo ,

So what are they doing that illegal that other apps aren't doing??

I really don't know how to be any more clear with this question.

Rodeo ,

So for the third time: that sounds like the same thing other apps are doing.

You know what, forget about it. I'm not going in circles with a halfwit anymore.

Rodeo ,

So what are they doing that illegal that other apps aren't doing?

Rodeo ,

Easy fix: don't offer support

More expensive easy fix: contract with a call center in India to do "support" for you.

Rodeo ,

You forgot the part where we all return to poverty so the rich can stay rich in the face of climate change.

Rodeo ,

You underestimate my capacity for failure.

Rodeo ,

Excellent use of the second and third panels. Really adds so much to the whole thing.

Rodeo ,

I watched it on youtube once. "So cool" is about the last descriptor I would use. "Disgusting", and "fuckin nasty" are some of the words that came out of my mouth during that video.

I think you've got the glow of parenthood on that memory.

Rodeo ,

Seems like a job the hydraulic power compactor can handle.

Rodeo ,

They're 90¢/lb where I am. Damn.

Rodeo ,

... quinoa. The latter is pricier, but has all the animo acids you need

That's called a "complete protein", and many combinations of food result in complete protein, including rice and beans. Lentils and chickpeas is probably complete without the need for quinoa.

Rodeo ,

No, it's STACY and a couple other people.

Rodeo ,

“made to be less hated,”

They still want to be hated, just less.

Who's the halfwit that came up with that line lmao

Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service

See title - very frustrating. There is no way to continue to use the TV without agreeing to the terms. I couldn't use different inputs, or even go to settings from the home screen and disconnect from the internet to disable their services. If I don't agree to their terms, then I don't get access to their new products. That...

Rodeo ,

Dumb TVs are called "digital signage" now.

Rodeo ,

What do they do with the plastic?

Recycling companies have been known to sit.ply export it to another country with worse regulations and dump in the landfill. You should try to find out where their plastic goes and what happens to it. You can't really just trust that recycling companies are doing things right.

Rodeo ,

And then a billionaire gets in their private jet, and in just 5 seconds of flight generates 8000 times more carbon emissions than she's saved in her entire life.

Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration.

Rodeo ,

How does the notification daemon in Linux work? It's all local and has been around for ages, why can't we do that?

Rodeo ,

Forced to play sokoban games.

Rodeo ,

I think it would be a lot more reasonable to expect undocumented issues. They have a lot to lose and it's controlled by a billionaire. As if they're not going to try to cover it up.

Rodeo ,

This method of bribery also works on supreme court judges.

Rodeo ,

This university is in Canada, genius. Those are the laws in Canada.
