Bar soap dries out my skin really badly. Besides, moisturizing body wash is not too expensive.

My problem with that theme is that it doesn’t highlight any buttons. I believe all buttons should have borders, especially the ones the titlebar. This helps distinguish a noninteractive label from an interactive clickable button.

This survey doesn’t distinguish between levels of cloud service provider, so I was a little confused.

Virtual private servers, cloud virtual servers (like AWS), cloud-based software where you provide code or a program and the cloud system runs it on a server of its choosing, and cloud-based systems where someone else provides the software (like Google Docs).

I literally cannot use a program that has AI crap integrated into it, because of data security rules in the contracts I have to follow. If I used Windows 11, I would have to never use Notepad, and find a way to remove Explorer. (Explorer creates the desktop icons and taskbar, so good luck with that.)

Windows 11 doesn’t even have a working file manager or text editor anymore. This is not a serious operating system.

Rejecting Netflix fixes things for you and me, but the article says Netflix has 93 million ad-supported subscribers. I’m really worried about the amount of influence advertisers have on our society, and it’s only getting worse. Even if you and I can be above the direct influence of these ads, many people are not, and those people are influencing you and me. This produces a dangerous secondary influence that can reach most of society, and just fills everyone’s mind with lies, for hardly any cost.

I can’t get into the details, but I’ve used UKG/Ultipro in the past and it is absolute shit. Way worse things that just what dirtycrow is showing here.

Kanopy looks like they use Widevine DRM. I will continue using other DRM-free sources.

Gods, that’s awful. I would send them a bill for the cost of my attention.

At this rate, they’ll deport the players. Is it too late to move the 2026 world cup?

I have to disagree about the idiot proof. KDE Plasma and Mate Desktop are more idiot proof and easy for newbies than Windows 10-11, yet have more features in their simple control panels.

I’ve had no bootloader problems in the last 10 years of Debian, Linux Mint, and Ubuntu (15-20 installs, plus another 20-30 if you count VMs.) However, my work computer’s bootloader was semi-bricked twice in 2019 (Windows 7).

Turn signals are not optional.

Because assault rifles (or any fully automatic rifles) are highly illegal in the US, and very rare in practice. If it was an assault rifle, its existence would have been as notable of a crime as his brandishing and threatening. The police would have been unlikely to let him go, would likely have confiscated the gun, and would have reported all that to the media.

Nobody knows. The police didn’t say. There are no photos close enough to identify it.

The article says “gun” seven times. It’s accurate and gets the point across about his crime, unlike “assault rifle”, which falsely states that he had an illegal type if gun.

“Rifle” is a word that everyone knows is a type of gun. Even if not everyone knows the specifics, news people should at least look up the word before using it if they don’t know. It’s wrong for news people to use falsely the phrase “assault rifle” because of their ignorance.

Yes, but if you don’t like your IRA for some reason, you can also just transfer it to a different IRA. Some IRAs do invest your money into the stock market, so they can have high interest rates (and risk). All IRAs have the advantage of being fully under your own control, unlike 401k’s which are substantially controlled by your employer.

Note that you can only do one “rollover” per year, but transfers are unlimited. Whenever you move money between any of these pre-tax accounts, try to make sure it will be a “transfer”, not a rollover.

You can transfer it to an pre-tax IRA with no penalty. I found an IRA at a credit union that is NCUA insured (similar to FDIC) which means it can’t lose money. The interest rate is low, though.

HODL! Diamond hands!

This is cult talk.

Youtube spends a tiny fraction of its revenue on bandwidth. It gets way more than it needs from ads and premium subscriptions. Hardly any of that revenue goes to the content creators either.
