Subverb

I’m using kagi as well and have been very pleased with it.

I was at Storr and Portree back in November. Love Skye a lot.

I have always contended that bread is just raw toast.

Toast is life.

Having cut my teeth on MS-DOS 3.0 in a 4.77MHz PC with a monochrome monitor, two floppy drives and no hard disk, it was drilled into me early to save, save, save. It’s just muscle memory for me now.

Writing a whole paper without saving is unimaginable to me.

At its height Nguyen was making $50,000.00 a day from ads in the game. Whew.

Yeah, he didn’t.

I’m a Boomer. Born in 1964. I’ve gotten a lot more liberal as I’ve gotten older. Went from Libertarian to Bernie supporter.

Don’t write us all off.

Yeah, my wife works in social media. We have to let ads in.

I wish I could pi-hole.

I use NextDNS and it’s good for my devices, but Google sponsored links won’t work with it. Sometimes I have to turn it off temporarily to get something done.

Also, my wife works from home in social media. I can’t really block ads network-wide because she needs to see them.

😕

I write embedded firmware for my own business’ products and I fall into this trap myself.

I wanted to whip out a basic little product for my business thinking it would take two months of hardware design and a couple weeks of C.

A year later it’s a neat little product…

Trigger warning:

I have an HP inkjet printer attached to my Windows 11 machine playing YouTube Premium in Chrome without an ad blocker.

Edit: it’s a joke, people.

I was born in Southern Arkansas and have lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma for 40 years. I consider myself a Southerner, not a Midwesterner. But that’s self-reported.

The joke here goes “You know why Texas doesn’t slide off into the Gulf of Mexico? Because Oklahoma sucks so hard.”

But truth be told, Tulsa is a pretty nice place to live. About half a million people and fairly progressive for a “Southern” state. And while many of the the hardcore conservatives moved to Texas, you still see a lot of Trump flags here.

I'm a light Linux user with windows 11 on my work dev machine.

I started using Linux Mint and it's the right speed for me. Switched to Mint LMDE 6. It's smooth.

Fewer than.

It isn’t. That would be Insider Trading.

But it doesn’t stop people from trying (and sometimes getting away with) it.

No, you won’t be charged retroactively for previous downloads. But the change does retroactively affect games previously released on Unity.

So last year you made decisions on your game’s price and revenue model that are no longer true. if you made your small game free to play with microtransactions and its had more than 200,000 installs you’re probably shitting yourself. Unity will be charging $0.20 per install even if it’s to the same device multiple times. A million installs of your game is you having to write a check to Unity for $160,000 for installations alone.

So your microtransactions game now must average a spend of at least $0.20 per install, plus per seat licensing of Unity, plus your overhead for it to even begin to make a profit.

And Unity has said that multiple installations on the same device will all be charged. So it’s inevitable that script kiddies with bad attitudes are going to install a game thousands of times. Unity has said you can appeal this type of behavior, but that puts the onus of detecting and reporting this stuff on the devs, further increasing their workload and risk.

Mindhunter, yes.

Oil and gas workers are normal people with children and dogs that care about the environment and they do a pretty good job on average of protecting the it. But accidents do happen in the industry, and when they do, it’s sometimes not a simple “cleanup on aisle six” scenario. I’ve seen grown men on their hands and knees mopping up drops of oil in a cow pasture more than once.

Half their staff or half of their staffs? 🍆🥒
