Because $$$

This has nothing with minimum wage which is increasing to $20 for everyone in Seattle on January 1st and isn’t triggering a wave of fast food layoffs. This is just typical corporate cost cutting.

There were multiple incidents and people were killed

I see headlines like this and my first thought is how Elon Musk spent $43B to force people to read his bigoted tweets instead of literally anything else.

“We’ve decided to do shutdown after we were ordered to because our product killed some people”

Suspicious timing. The current attacks in Israel are trying to detail the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

I have tested this with half a dozen Chrome extensions and none of them worked. “Allows install” is misleading. “Allows download” is more accurate.

I have been using it for months and it’s great. It’s like Vivaldi but with Firefox under the hood instead of Chrome.

This very poorly written

A useless platform until they implement quote tweets. It’s been years. What is taking them so long?

USB-C means you’ll still have different cables with different speeds for different devices but now they’ll all look the same.

It doesn’t have to be Siri itself. Any app that Apple gave access to the Siri private API could have done this.

No.

You should give Floorp a try. It’s like Vivaldi but with Firefox under the hood instead of Chrome.

Optimistic to believe the internet, computers, or electric power will still exist in 100 years

I’ll save you a click: be lucky

Yeah. HN bans your favorite white supremacist blogs. I don’t see a problem with that.

Americans commenting on this need to keep in mind that they could become refugees if there is an American civil war. It’s easy to judge others until you lose your home and all your possessions.

Quoting someone while providing commentary/context is literally what journalists does. Mastodon is hostile to journalism.

This article is not well sourced and is inconsistent with lived experience.

Ten years ago navigation apps would almost always recommend freeways even when traffic was stalled and there was a faster route. Now I regularly get guided to exits to take routes through residential neighborhoods during rush hour.

The main thing holding back Mastodon is the lack of quote retweet functionality. Without it, Mastodon is useless for the journalism and activism that made Twitter popular. Unfortunately, there is little hope this will change as Mastodon’s developers stubbornly and arrogantly refuse to implement it.

Frankly, I don’t think it would make a difference at this point. Mastodon has had a year to prove it can be a replacement for Twitter and it has failed terribly. I don’t think it can overcome the negative first impressions left by it’s obnoxious user experience. Like who’s bright idea was it to purposefully leave the official Mastodon app feature incomplete?

It writes in the style of Terry Goodkind?

I tried to join a few months ago and had the same problem. I couldn’t join through the app no matter what I tried. Instant ban with no way to get unbanned. But I was able to sign up on the website without an issue. And once I had a working account, I could create multiple alternate accounts through the app.

It’s frustrating Instagram doesn’t have lists so you need a separate account for every interest.

The only pathetic behavior I see is the CEO who is so obsessed with Augustus Caesar he cuts his hair to look like him.

Teslas shouldn’t be allowed on the road

2003 will be the year of the Linux desktop

Most of the US is currently blanketed with wildfire smoke. Are you sure CO2 is the problem? Are you testing for PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, humidity, etc?

Looking at the chart it seems to line up with the war in Ukraine. Germany was a target of Prigozhin’s Internet Research Agency (troll farms). I wonder if we will see a drop in Tor usage now that his coup has failed and his organization is being dissolved.

Earlier I noticed the infinite reloading happening on the logout page as well
