Naw you just wait to get fired and then submit unemployment for the job changing past what was agreed with

Yes, that’s why I included it with my comment. Their either claiming that somehow that is going to raise costs, for that they’re going to lose more money because people are actually able to not pay for the thing they didn’t want to pay for

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce criticized the administration’s approach, saying in August that “heavy-handed regulations that micromanage business practices” will lead to higher costs for consumers.

this is either them saying since they cant mooch off people who want to cancel they will raise prices… or that somehow making a “cancel” button online will cost more in staffing, neither is an amazing pov to have

personally I don’t see why people use the platform with downvotes visible lol, that being said a lot of the statements are valid, but I also believe that it will be worse with Trump as well. I mean he did meet with Netanyahu and tell him to just get the war over with and kill them all, and he has shown solid support of the war. Up to and including saying that a ceasefire is worthless and counterproductive to victory. He’s all but said he wants the genocide to continue on both sides. I’m firmly concerned that if he gets in, his way of “solving the issue” will be sending the US military to resolve the issue, and that’s not something the US needs right now with the tension between other countries already high.

and before anyone says he can’t do that, remember the last officially declared war was WW2 and that the standard tactic is the president (who is commander and chief) sends troops in for his maximum allowed days, then he turns around and says to Congress “so are you going to help our troops or not?” which moreorless forces their hand at supporting the war.

ooo so that’s why they never seem to work, makes so much sense now! /j

I personally didn’t like mastodon’s UI style, I found it tedious to use and more complicated then needed.

There’s no real similar product(at least out of what I’ve used) so nothing to run muscle memory on, and it deep dived into federation to the point it was confusing too confusing to figure out

I’m not sure why we care. It’s just simple competition, if your opponent is able to sell a cheaper product, either lower your price or deal with it. It’s basic capitalism.

While I’m for tariffs on import to at least make cost equal to minimum wage for workers (to equate for the pay wage differential) if the factories are being built in house, it means they are following country standards including wages, I don’t see the issue.

Photobucket did the same thing I almost lost all of my photos that I had on it from my early teenage years because I almost missed the email(I was two days from the DDay)

Basically they decided that they no longer wanted their free tier and any photos that were stored on the platform as that tier had a certain amount of time before they would be deleted. The platform heavily tried to convince people who are on the free tier that the only way of getting their photos would be to pay for their premium tier for a month and then cancel but I was able to figure out a way to just download it it was hidden heavily in the settings behind multiple paywall triggers.

I’m not really sure why they say that, looking at it the UI looks pretty sleek

This is good news that the instance is back up again. But as an Outsiders pov, I’m going to be super hesitant on wanting to interact with the instance since it’s already proven to be shut down once.

Being said, I love to see people monopolizing on better technology that have more feature sets, and honestly it looks pretty dang cool

a good way to balance if it’s worth it, look at your order history, and look at delivery costs of items without prime, and then divide the yearly price of prime by the delivery cost, then again by 12.

For example, if the average shipping cost is 7$, that’s roughly 1.6 orders small (read under 35$) a month, if you order less than that it might not be worth keeping prime.

that would have been a good buisness plan as well, make the normal tier premium, but have an ad free tier under it that restricted the video quality down to 720p or something, and maybe removed signature content/prime originals.

just wait until you have like 40-50$ worth of items, a lot of the time they’ll give you free shipping at a certain price point. Plus some items give you free shipping regardless.

That being said, I still have prime myself cause I order /a lot/ of small orders and it’s shared with the house, plus I use the family member feature to give my mom prime as well and we just split the cost. When they do away with that feature is when I cancel my sub, 140-160 a year is not worth it for one person to pay alone, that’s roughly 2.5 orders a month

I mean, I never used prime video even when it was as free, it’s selection was garbage even compared to Netflix which has been known to have nothing of value for a few years now. I don’t see how them adding /more/ ads is going to do anything but make other people come to the same conclusion I did.

yea its just using the word sustain when removing something non-renewable makes me chuckle

I love how that’s tagged “sustainable mining” as if mining anything can actually be sustainable.

I didn’t know he died, guess that makes sense why I stopped hearing his name all the time

rokus will DoS your DNS servers if you block their telemetry, I had to disable most logging on my pihole due to that because I was getting 2 or 3 gigs worth of DNS daily logging which was almost fully the sole roku Premier upstairs. It’s so bad.

I was just about to say a comment on the billboards, like wtf how is this legal. So glad that my state has them banned lol

I recently learned not all commercial craft are fly by wire when watching a mentor pilot video, I was amazed it was legal. ofc it was a crash video, but still the fact it was legal appalled me
