While I understand their point, it’s like going to the channel with the stock market banner on the bottom and complaining it is taking up part of the screen, where I would almost say the other 90% of the screen is the ads.

So many hours spent watching that as a child. It was either that channel or Bob Barker when I was on summer break

There is a large portion of the population that doesn’t know anything about how 401ks work. They are told their employer will take 3% or such out of their income and put it into a 401k account, and some part of that money will be matched by the employer (varying).

Those who don’t know the market don’t touch the money, it is invested for them. So it is very possible whoever posted this is among those people. It is not always wise on their end, but if a professional can lose money investing large amounts for companies like that, so could an inexperienced person. The annual report for 2023 for my company’s investments saw loses as well. The little money I had was elsewhere so I lucked out on that part.

Maybe they meant raisinettes, a lot of people don’t like raisons.

Edit: never mind, milk duds are chewy as hell, but also good. I ruled them out because I figured most people would like them (assuming their teeth don’t get pulled out).

Side note: if you didnt chew now&laters and instead sucked on them. You have infinitely more self control than I do.

I couldn’t figure out a way in Brave, it won’t let you set a custom URL for the default browser. Firefox allowed it to just change the customer browser link in the format of

Couldn’t find an APK to test vanadium, I assume it may be exclusive to GrapheneOS? (I just called it test for this, so name it something you’ll recognize in a few months)

Once the Default browser is changed in Firefox/chrome, their widgets pull that information from the app, so it just searches that way.

Yeah, the chrome one will convert.

If you set it as your default search in chrome or such, it will convert the Google search bar in Android to a SearXNG search bar. I started using it a little while back. Firefox never did well for me on Android (I’m sure it’s anecdotal)

It’s not, but it will upset viewers and bait people into clicking or sharing.

She did star as a wrestler in a movie not long ago, which I believe I saw during covid and was the only reason I recognized her.

1 ghz processor, 4 GB of ram. 4gb seems like a lot I suppose. I doubt we can find a tv/monitor that won’t work with it either. Basically any laptop made in the last 15 years can run it. People just bitch about them wanting people to have tpm 2.0 to prevent others from being able to steal all your data easily.

When it comes down to it, Microsoft will get sued if they don’t prove they are trying to enhance security to protect peoples data. When they do so, they piss off consumers. Is there a better way to do it maybe, but we will always find something wrong with it. If you don’t have tpm set up, the drive encrypted, and your password tied to a secondary factor, anyone can access any of the data on your drive in minutes.

It has always been so, they have their product installed throughout enterprise systems where attacks on companies have been on the rise worldwide.

The truth is you can build a computer for a fraction of what you were able to 10-20 years ago because system requirements have stayed fairly steady while tech growth continues.

Buying a laptop for 179.99 dollars from BestBuy in the year 2000 would have been laughable.

What can it run. What 95% of users need. Honestly desktops and laptops seem to me like they will both be phased out of most personal use and will just be for business use eventually. Our phones are getting more and more features making it so we can connect Bluetooth keyboards/mice and cast to a tvs/monitors with a desktop setup.

What year were you there perhaps? I walked about a mile to school from 5 years old up with only the supervision of my 2 year older brother. I was born in 89’ so this has likely changed to being more protective. Media preaches fear.

Groceries shocked me that they had taxes on them when I moved out of Florida. Florida is price on shelf for groceries. Tennessee is price plus sales tax, which is 9-10% where I live. Kind of crazy.

We were never in the house as kids though, about an hour a week of “screen time”. Mostly playing basketball and running around doing whatever.

I disagree with the decrease in discussion quality. Votes inherently create echo chambers. We have low effort conversations where we all downvote someone whose opinion is different and it makes them feel whatever kind of way, and they act accordingly. Whether it be leave, lash out, or discuss. If it wasn’t built in and someone wouldn’t already know I would say it is a bad idea, but since it will exist, making it so people learn to be civil is probably best.

It is information provided to the instance runners, mods, and other fedeverse platforms such as mastodon. It inherently tracks such to know if a user has previously liked/up voted an entry.

So you may have a conversation on here, and some users will know who is downvoting, some will only know who’s upcoming, and some will know none
