You are best friends with all the dominos drivers?

That’s what 3 days worth of unhealthy hot food, delivered to your door should cost. It’s an extravagant service; it should be an extravagant price.

The real problem is that all those extra fees and expenses just go straight into owner pockets/shareholder value instead of providing the employees with medical care, proper insurance and a real retirement.

If you want to save money, teach your daughter how to safely cook a frozen pizza. If she’s old enough to be home alone and answer the door when strangers show up, why can’t she fed herself?

I used the Mcdonalds app a few times and the drivethru was always faster, lmao.

They require location services and don’t start cooking until you’re inside their geofence, but IME they seem to still prioritize drivethru customers.

It’s just that they have no idea how to answer the question

The road standards are designed to protect the occupants, not the other users on the road.

This is a critical flaw with current safety and CAFE standards.

You say that like a specific technology is inevitable, but it never is. The general march of tech will continue on, but no one thing is ever guaranteed.

e.g. 20 years ago everyone needed custom browser toolbars and now it’s not even possible to add one on major browsers. We eliminated the need for browser features by cramming 99% of what we need into a handful of websites that are constantly refreshed.

e.g. 10 years ago blockchain was surging and today it still doesn’t have a usable application. Turns out spreadsheets don’t really need to be distributed.

Machine learning is just an algorithm nobody understands. If I needed something to give me wrong answers to questions I’ll ask my dog.

Republican energy policy is to let oil barons do whatever they want, destroy whatever they want for new drilling and pay as little taxes as possible.

Democrat energy strategy is to regulate oil, preserve delicate ecosystems by banning oil/gas exploration wells and fracking in those areas and investing in expanded green energy policy.

The political problem for Dems is that ballooning prices at the gas pump are very unpopular with moderate/undecided voters (reality is that almost everyone in this country has to fill up their car tank regularly) and the oil barons can manipulate their output, control the messaging and change these people’s votes (especially in an election year).

Dumping some of our strategic reserves when prices get too high is a strategy that counters this machination.

And if the world supply is in a high producing state, dumping some of these reserves can sink prices low enough we can refill those reserves for cheaper than we initially bought the reserves that we dumped.

Republicans then get on the horn and claim this is risky, helps nobody but democrat politics, etc, etc. They’re not wrong, but the entire thing is political brinkmanship, so… who cares? 😄

It’s still popular because it was popular.

Also, it was simple and modular.

It was largely succeeded by monolithic and enshittified versions of iTunes, which have zero appeal these days. So it’s still remembered fondly for not enshittifying and not trying to build a walled garden.

Well, it is on Android…

But the main app is tightly integrated into the win32 api–moving it to linux would basically require a complete rewrite. DEADBEEF is an example of something like this. Parallel values and ideals, but open source.

There are wine-bottled versions out there. Of course, whether or not output is bit perfect would depend on the wine settings. Bottling it, of course, defeats the point of the program being highly modular/extensible.

Also, you have to remember that a lot of proprietary formats have proprietary encoders/decoders that are incompatible with the GPL.

Shipping Windows binaries are much less of a hassle for the dev than than trying to reverse-engineer everything they need or figuring out how to manage dependencies with different licenses across different package managers and distros with different goals.

tl;dl foobar2000 is an excellent sum of its parts; like Winamp was back-in-the-day. You start changing parts and you get a different sum.

How many mac applications are coded using win32 api?

Put a couple 18650 cells under the hingle like it’s 2008

Tires are generaly made from a kind of rubber, not plastic

Both are made of polymers.

Rubber, also known as latex, is naturally occurring polymer from the sap of a specific species of tree.

“Synthetic rubber”, is in fact, plastic.

Ancient Levant, including ancient Israel, was obsessed with being hospitable hosts to visitors. This was an important cultural marker left over from when proto-Israelite culture was bedouin and on the fringes of society in the Levant.

This practice had become slightly more hostile during Roman occupation, but Jesus’s teachings on the matter were profoundly conservative–instructing his followers to never waiver from their ancient obligations.

Opera has always been do-do and always had a do-do engine. Now it’s spyware.

When you don’t have fresh fruits for the canning line, you can keep the lines busy with another product you mix up from a shelf stable powder…pudding.

Box mix.

That dumb reason is Tether printing new phoney-bucks.

Advertising is a drain on society that encourages regular people to choose and act suboptimally.

There are absolutely allowed to be laws around advertising and people absolutely have the right to be annoyed when those laws are not properly protecting them.

Video games are no longer a wild frontier, it’s a 50 year old established industry and market that is wildly profitable and absolutely deserves to be legislated into polite and proper conduct.

We absolutely should bitch and moan that meaningful legislation is not being passed on this front.

Your username checks out.

Correct.

You can run linux on just any hardware, yet somehow the capitalist still manage to fuck it up.

These days, as in…Now?

Today?

This is the era of boomer shooters…

We haven’t had a new stand alone Uncharted game for…7 years.
