So does Musi on iOS

I believe the CEOs son has some special needs and he’s been big on pushing them to develop inputs methods that are accessible. It’s definitely getting better! As a gamer who’s been playing since they were a kid and now in my 30’s I’m starting to get RSI like issues and definitely appreciate some of these accessibility movements because they allow me to change up my input more often.

Doubtful, some people in my building had mentioned it was a car accident taking down a utility pole

That’s ridiculous. I do put money away. The problem is that the size of downpayment needed is growing way faster than I could hope to save. How often do these adverse affects actually happen? Once or twice? You can also DIY.

Other things you can reliably budget for, new roof is every 20 years, maybe new appliances every 10 years. General upkeep? Renters do that already but you can DIY and you have a say in what happens.

Your argument is basically if you can’t save for a home while already paying for a home you can’t afford a home.

That’s me. I don’t have a mortgage, and don’t have a down payment so instead I just pay my landlords mortgage and then some. The best part is I can get personal use evicted at any point and instead of actually gaining equity I get nothing but another 30 day extension of having a roof. And at this rate that looks like it’ll be forever. If my landlord decides to kick me out I’ll likely have to leave the city and therefor my job.

Basically anything short of we’re going to expropriate land and build massive amounts of rgi’s and cooperatives will fix it on the supply side of the equation.

We need to tackle the problem at the source and that’s housing being used as an investment vehicle by wealthy people and corporations as a means of wealth extraction from the working class. It’s completely choking the economy.

I keep seeing them too! It’s always some “news report” looking format with either angry Justin or confident PP (weird how that works).

Same. Burn it all down. I’m tired of paying my landlord the equivalent of a mortgage for fuck all security because I don’t have enough for a downpayment.

Woo paying for ads! We’re back to cable.

Ours switched to attesting in the hr system. You don’t do your 3 days? That’s a paddlin’

Good thing we keep letting these oligopolies buy each other. It’s never good for the actual people.

Yep. Some torrents are low bandwidth and you can have a lot. Sometimes it seems you’re connecting to an AWS server and all of the sudden you’re saturated.

Isn’t arc a chromium fork thus subject to Google’s shenanigans?

All the most recent OLEDs are smart TVs, the only thing I could think of that isn’t are basically things classified as digital signage but these panels aren’t really tuned for watching at home.

But your best bet is to use the TV as a display for whatever you have and switching inputs old school style. Connect it once to do software updates. Unplug from wall and don’t give it your wifi password or vlan it off the internet. Otherwise they’re all sending data back about you, and your consumption habits.

It could also have less integrity (like my code) overall due to non uniform weight displacement. But I’m not an engineer.

You see those are our oligarchs

Some people think that people who seem to get their stride later are actually just super early morning people. Also potentially theories around biphasal sleep.

Bingo! It’s all classicism. It’s easy for them to look down on people who go to parks to drink and hangout. These people often have their own private grass and outdoor space they can enjoy. I live in an apartment and have beers on a blanket in public parks because the only outdoor space I really have.

I’d like that myself but it seems like our institutions have no real power to actually do anything to stop shitty and obviously corrupted politicians.

Some podcasts have chapters, chapter art, show notes, etc. “Accidental Tech Podcast” is a good example. Spotify sucks for podcasts and they’re trying to kill podcasting so they can take it over.

Some one game that comes to mind is one of my favourite RTS’s Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth (and it’s expansion Rise of the Witch King). It was published by EA. Unfortunately they no longer have the license for LOTR content so they can’t legally sell this game and you can’t buy it. Thankfully it’s still alive due to the piracy community and you can download a copy with all the cracks and whatnot.

“The conditions we’ve pushed our people into is causing crime to increase. This must be the federal governments fault and not us - who are by definition closer to peoples lives.”

Perfect. Another wealth transfer to the oligarchs.

Me too! Actual servers are docker-compose which is on git but the data…yeah that’s on hope hahaha

That’s exactly my parents too, they have a good couple of million stashed away for their retirements. I was hoping when they sold our childhood home a few years ago they would help my sister and I with down payments. NOPE! They firmly believe that since they could do it we can do it, completely closed off to the idea that things are fundamentally different nowadays. Rent is 43% of my take home and I’m lucky!

The Weston’s own most of the pharmacy, the grocery, food supply chain, and are moving into healthcare at breakneck pace. No shit it’s too concentrated. We need actual antitrust laws.

Ontario Conservatives: Another round of funding cuts will sure fix it this time!

In some ways I feel like this can be the CRA working with accounting software for better integration. If you’re running a side hustle you should be paying your taxes.

That said I worry this is going to nab the person who maybe makes a few hundred a year selling shit online to subsidize their day job and they’re a lot easier of a target than a large operation commuting tax fraud; the CRA has a history of picking the former.

Reported for transphobia

I didn’t hear that, but I’m not surprised it’s also about control. When you offer a paid API you’re capping potential revenues for those users at essentially a flat rate.

I suspect that their revenue generation plans likely would see more than 10M/yr return so they threw out some big number to kill everything, force a portion of those users to their own services where they’re planning on ramping up monetization

My office blocks git through the CLI/VS Code Tools but somehow GitHub desktop works. No idea why.

I’d like to think most of the app users are power users who actually drive a lot of value and forcing them to leave will tank your business, but who knows, time will tell.

Exactly. Even a server to just go down one day. Theoretically it has a snapshot in time

I feel like we’re seeing a lot of money leave tech. These companies are no longer getting cash injections and running into the red. The number one game for them now is revenue generation and that is through user fees and advertising. That’s why we’re seeing this shit now.

A lot of these platforms (Twitter/Reddit) started off simple and never took into account advertising. That means third party apps never got the ad feed in the general timeline.

Seeing their infinite funds dry up, these companies are now looking for where they can generate extra revenue, or where they are not generating revenue and making cuts.

These APIs cost them money. So now they’re making the gamble. Will their users tolerate losing their favourite apps to a privacy invading and ad serving machine just to access their feeds?

Awesome! If anyone has the sql link feel free to pm

Edit: Thank you!
