It seems like the current model isn't working too well. The more outlets clickbait the more they damage their brand. And people get a lot of news through Reddit and Twitter these days completely bypassing news outlets.

I haven't felt this way until recently when using a USB-C port plugged in while in bed. Felt like I had to be careful moving around or I'll hit the cable and damage my port.

Maybe there's hesitancy because the mRNA vaccine is relatively untested compared to all those other vaccines that were mandated.

Nobody quits that website. I've tried a few times. Meanwhile I was able to quit FB in one evening and haven't been back.

You're on the wrong website if you're trying to avoid karma farming.

Nobody ever? I'm surprised how big the US government has become then, especially with the low salary.

Unfortunately it's usually the bloat that makes money for these websites, whether they're ads or auto-playing videos.

I've always hated any karma-based forum. I just don't participate in it. I've gone as far as to block karma displays on Reddit and HN through element hiding and running custom userscripts. It allows me to type without trying

Let me just spend the next 15 minutes reading the man page for dd. But before that, let me figure out what a terminal is. A few minutes later... "The dd utility copies the standard input to the standard output. Input data is read and w

New font looks fine to me. But might be because I don't read Twitter every day. Didn't even know if the new font was active until I checked the Chrome inspector.

Curious what you're implying happened in the US in the last 4 years. Maybe I'm missing some important event other than Covid but that affects all countries.

The only winning move is to censor everything.

Playing violent video games makes me less violent. I would imagine me being less violent could be beneficial to myself and others. Though whether violent video games do the same for others is debatable. I would imagine kids that are exposed

Considering many assault weapons are rifles and many assault rifles are assault weapons, please excuse my imprecise language.

Sounds like gun laws. As long as the grip on the gun is shaped in a certain way, it's no longer an illegal assault rifle.

Power companies do like your power consumption. It's the state that doesn't, but they also want you to keep buying electric cars.

Then people will just buy more gasoline cars.

They can just demolish it, because it is their property. It's just the local authorities are stubborn in upholding the illusion of there being a choice in the matter. The media then got involved and it no longer became worth it demolis

I did an ACATS from RH. They just sell the fractional shares at market price and send the cash.

Hopefully the prices are at least up-to-date. I oftent skip buying items if their prices aren't listed.

Yeah, it feels quicker and lighter to edit small text files. If NP++ didn't exist, I'd still use notepad.exe rather than opening VSCode for these light edits.

It seems fairly common for companies to deny and disclose requests from the US government. Not only is it a good publicity stunt advocating free speech / privacy, but what can the government do if it's not illegal content?

Worked at a startup with beer stocked in the fridge. I enjoyed a beer several times a week once it hit 4-5pm. This behavior started as an intern and I still got brought back for full time so apparently they didn't care.

>Let me get this straight - you think current prison system doesn't incentivize leaving prison enough? Yes, it doesn't. Many have nothing to look forward to outside of prison. I hate to use a movie as an example, but take a loo
