Don't threaten me with a good time, Mr. Paul.
If it helps, one of main arguments of the antitrust lawsuit against Amazon that the Biden administration opened was that Amazon routinely, actually, costs you money because they use their platform to offer more expensive options in your searches first and other means: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/09/ftc-sues-amazon-illegally-maintaining-monopoly-power (I'm not sure if that link with detail or with a much clarity as wherever I first read it but I can't recall where I originally read it 3 or so months ago, I'm afraid).
The only major advantage that I'll fully admit Prime has is speed of delivery; I admit I do use it when our cats run out of food and I dropped the ball on making sure we had more or I need filters for our air purifiers that just noted they need new ones.
But, even if you can find cheaper versions on Amazon, it can become easy to fall for the setup of their site if you use it by default all the time.
To be fair, Lemmy's UI does it no favors; I can't entirely blame your friends for thinking it looks sketch.
In the Chicago black community
I'm sorry, what‽ As a black Chicagoan, no the Hell we aren't.
I feel like we've run this meme further than is useful; there's absolutely criticisms to be had about how the separation of church in state operates within American government but it's hardly the only "developed" (hate that word but you know what I mean) country to have a government that takes for granted Christianity as default; Britain, after all, has a state church – for (pun slightly intended) Christ's sake – that definitely bleeds into the way its government thinks about what a religion is and how much "religion" gets support.
I'm not saying I wouldn't prefer (and hope we move towards) a more strict and complete separation but let's not pretend America is astonishingly unique…
Beautifully succinct
Mmm; I guess it isn't a direct face eat (but my brain sort of made the assumption as he's a conservative commentator and has been pushing how Trump's policies would be good for American citizens).
Basically, he's been talking about immigrants have been taking jobs (and, apparently, actually believes that the immigrants Trump have been deporting have mostly been dangerous) and, now, is suddenly surprised that citizens like himself are getting deported, as if the xenophobia and cruelty-is-the-point of the trump administration wouldn't fall back on U. S. citizens (or, perhaps more accurately, as if the administration would care if it did).
But, yeah, you bring up a good point that it isn't a direct face eating.
Always felt like it was taking up too much of the screen space but I'm using counsel, for opening files, already; maybe it'd be easier to just find something along those lines than directly imitating the bash experience. Thanks for the suggestion!
Yeah; I hate Android's file navigation capabilities…
I mean, people always think teaching not to bully people is boringly obvious and it is, if you stop to think about the concept in theory, but it can be different, when you're in the heat of the moment; teaching the fundamentals do help people, even if painfully clear to those at a higher level. I think those're actually pretty good.
The issue (as you've kinda noted) is they never go beyond that. The Honey scan might be hard to impart as, if I didn't know some of how the system worked because I program for a living, it would've seemed like magic gibberish. The other two are good ones, though.
Honestly, teaching the fundamentals of how the intervals work in some way I think would go far. The number of people who don't know what file extensions are always worry me.
Do E-mail providers no longer let you search the E-mail body?
First I'm hearing but that doesn't surprise me; it's probably better than most companies you could give your money to but, in any way they could, they don't do anything truly groundbreaking such that I can justify to myself giving money rather than just keeping said money in my pocket (and, in turn, much more likely to go to mutual aid, charities, non-profits, or coöperatively-owned or union-backed businesses).
They could have done a more traditional coöp, open-sourced their infrastructure (even if it was just the app.!), or really emphasized a particular stance or message they as a company would stand by…but they haven't done any of those. They basically are just offering up YouTube but as a streaming service. But that doesn't solve the myriad of issues that make a streaming service a business that (like most businesses) prey on their customers.
