Can_Not··on LG dryer traffic – 1GB+ daily up/down
> Is when and how much I use a dryer worth $30/month on a 2 year contract

The contract they negociate with the carrier will probably be closer to $3/drier/year.

Can_Not··on You Don't Need a GUI
Yeah I'm confused about what OP meant was wrong with hamburger menu, the paradigm is "if the screen is too small for File | Edit | View | Etc. | Help, then collapse them behind the hamburger, which is generally good and sane.

Can_Not··on Writing tools I learned from The Economist
I've been an IC for 10 years and never would have guessed that's what IC stands for.
Can_Not··on Bevy 0.5: data oriented game engine built in Rust
The name-dropping/link-dropping with an extra discord link that will likely expire long before everything else is tasteless.

A tasteful mention would look like this:

> If you're looking for a scene graph based engine instead of an ECS based engine, checkout $PROJECT_NAME at $PROJECT_LINK and here's an example $EXAMPLE_LINK

I can't vouch for the accuracy of the statement, but it clearly lays out the primary difference in value proposition, and 2-3 distinctions in value proposition would be good.

The goal should be to help people find what they are looking for, not spam.

Can_Not··on Apple can own I/O to own the universe
> and throw it out after 2 years.

I've only had one android device remain usable significantly longer than 1 year.

Can_Not··on Sublime Text 4 – Build 4100 has native Apple Silicon support
Sounds like why I use sublime instead of $POPULAR.
Can_Not··on How Doctors Die (2013)
> sacrifice

Recieving an unearned $11.70 million untaxed income for free is the opposite of "our own ends" and "sacrifice". It sounds like you fetishize everyone else having a hard time but want to make a special exception for yourself and your kids.

Can_Not··on Florida state of emergency with millions of gallons of “radioactive wastewater”
I always found the tribalistic "crony capitalism" vs "crony socialism" debate to be a convenient escape from actually discussing the removal of cronyism.

Imagine if a guy stole your $500 TV, did $500 worth of damage to your window to get it, then sold it for $100. After he was caught, instead of going to jail his insurance was ordered to pay you $200.

The saying is usually more like "privatize the profits, socialize the loses", which is derived from "socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor".

The point of the phrase is that the people who are paying for the costs (tax payers) are not the ones who received any benefit or were going to benefit (profits, shareholders, CEOs, etc.).

Can_Not··on My apartment was built on toxic waste
If anything, it seems too common IMO that patients take selfies while in hospital beds with IVs or other medical paraphernalia.
Can_Not··on ‘Raise my taxes – now ’: the millionaires who want to give it all away
It's already class warfare, whether you like it or not. The people are only playing the role of self defence.

> not a reasonable argument

It's only "not a reasonable argument" if you mentally substitute how cartoonishly huge, rich, authoritarian, etc. Bezos and Amazon actually are with a mom and pop shop or a guy who owns a single factory.

Can_Not··on Loot boxes linked to problem gambling in new research
> what makes you think this is a real and big problem?

The average quality of mobile games have plummeted. Most companies have no inventive to make good games when they can legally trick children into gambling.

This, except you're criticising yourself.

> Does that make you a scrooge mcduck wealth hoarder? No.

My first guess was that "scrooge mcduck wealth hoarding" made you a scrooge mcduck wealth hoarder, but good to see you're ruling out the strawmen early.

Can_Not··on Go is a great programming language
Indeed lists 30k Java jobs and 2k golang jobs. OP has a vested interest in marketing their preferred language to increase the availability of jobs for that preferred language.
Can_Not··on Google Play limiting Android 11 apps from seeing what’s installed on devices
Then prevent malicious apps from doing that without preventing the user.
Can_Not··on Redefining what a map can be with new information and AI
I hate when google thinks I want to save 1 minute by making lightless right turns straight into a rush hour traffic jam.
Can_Not··on Revealed: Seafood fraud happening on a vast global scale
One reason I love jumbo shrimp, prawn fraud is probably harder than regular fish fraud, and especially harder than crab fraud and "prawn ball" fraud.
Can_Not··on 'Fake' Amazon workers defend company on Twitter
> how would you respond if people said you were treating your employees unfairly?

Easy:

"I have $185 billion less than Bezos to spend on treating my employees better, but I've also spent $0 on propaganda against my employees interests."

Can_Not··on I Like That the Boat Is Stuck
The number of homeless people I see in the streets has visibility doubled, but I'm sure the marginal availability of board games is a sign they aren't feeling any hungrier than usual.
Can_Not··on RIP Google Reader
I never heard of google reader until long after it ended, but endless mountains of garbage claiming to be "just like X" is all too familiar.

Being able to search apps by really basic properties is an embarrassing missing feature of google play store.

I hope it works.
Can_Not··on An update on the recent issues surrounding a Reddit employee
> This is a consequence for past actions.

Ok, so to be clear, it's "a consequence for past actions" when you know what's going on and agree, but "cancel culture" when you are out of the loop or when you disagree.
