Background apps typically don’t take up memory/CPU on modern mobile OSes. You don’t need to spend your time manually quitting them.

The same items at my local Ralphs (Kroger) are constantly (like 4+ years) out of stock because they just face over the holes. Whoever is putting inventory into the computer must absolutely suck too because this shouldn’t even be happening; but having worked at Walmart I’ve seen firsthand how people roll their eyes when the numbers are off.

The plan is to stop journaling altogether? Isn’t that kind of a huge change, or am I missing something?

A wealthy few are looking to golden visas as a ‘plan B’ in case they need to flee the US.

Oh for fuck’s sake. If you manufacture something cheaply it’s cheap for the manufacturer. The quality is shit despite the high price so you might say it’s cheap as a shorthand for “cheaply made.”

I literally see and hear this usage everywhere. I’m not sure why it’s suddenly a mystery.

I’m a native US English speaker and use both definitions. I’m on a Swiss instance because I don’t like hosting my data in 14 Eyes countries.

If I think your product is shit, I’ll oftentimes call it cheap — especially if it looks like you manufactured it cheaply and then sold it for a high price for a huge profit.

I take cheap to mean poor quality and/or cheap for them to buy or produce (versus the customer).

God, this reminds me of when I used to disable the shortcut icon on the actual icon in Windows. Fucking annoying.

For me it’s starting to feel very draining. I’ve worked on small teams the past several years but now my current internal-only project is picking up steam and we’ve got a product owner and manager on board.

The amount of planning, discussing, iterating, changing requirements, etc. is absolutely demanding. I’m starting to miss just programming. The overhead is what starts to make all this feel soul-sucking after a while.

You’re right, it’s probably a lost cause.

just let me read my articles in peace.

Your articles? This sounds really entitled.

I still do some sneakernet file sharing with a Windows user where BitLocker support would be nice (we currently use VeraCrypt).

How do you even get the idea that meat-eating is bad without coming into contact with any political discourse?

For me it was probably the hundredth time eating meat (specifically a frozen meat lasagna) and thinking about how the ground beef was probably hundreds of abused, miserable cows with very little joy in life. Finally something clicked and with hardly any effort at all, I became vegetarian for week and after that full-on vegan.

Before that moment I’d worked in fast food and generally didn’t think much about what I ate. There wasn’t some vegan person in my life introducing me to the concept nor did any political figure tell me about it. I literally just thought about it for a few moments and arrived to the conclusion “that’s fucked up.”

Frankly it’s really difficult to listen to people complain how it’s all so difficult and it requires some level of instruction — if you just stop eating animal products you’ll easily adapt — it just sounds like excuses to me.

The FBI training I’m forced to take at work suggests replacing characters in that manner. “Just use a $ instead of S!”

But back in like 2006 I brute forced a dump of 20 Windows passwords in that style on my old Dell single core machine in less than two seconds. Every passing year I’m still shocked people continue thinking this would work.

I use it on a mini PC running Alpine Linux used as a router. It significantly increases the performance of Blocky when it’s importing tens of thousands of hostnames to block.

I went from being a typical omnivore to vegan within the span of a week and it was the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life. So when I see people resorting to eating insects it’s really bewildering to me. Like, you’d rather eat bugs than just eat plants?

I’m secretly loving that current economics are driving people toward renewables. Like sure, they should probably be switching for more ethical reasons but I’ll take the win wherever we can in these otherwise dark times.

I VPN to a country whose language I know nothing about and have literally never had this problem.

Yeah I know that OP didn’t sign up. I’m saying why would the people that believe the premise even sign up? It’s like signing up to go to jail (extreme example).

Fuck yeah! I’ve been watching this closely for a while now!
