I'd spend much of it selling them on Linux (mint is really not bad to use/install these days), libreoffice, lemmy (for the upvotes), Signal, Matrix, Jellyfin, and some of the amazing free phone games.

Let people know there are alternatives. So they migrate comfortably the next time a garbage product comes out, and are willing to look+donate when a new thing comes out that could/should be free as in freedom.

Security is mostly theatre, and the average person probably isn't under much threat even doing everything wrong. But slightly more informed as a consumer and user could really make a positive impact on their lives + those around them.

All will be rust!

Oh that's cool! If you find the source please do share (or post it again! This is good news).

From the article, the 40% with falling wages are not the ones I expected. Custodians, grocers, and service sector are in the top 50% it seems, their wages are doing well vs inflation. It's surgeons and programmers who are seeing wages drop.

So it's kinda a weird headline. From the article, this sounds like the labor gains I would want to see.

A bunch more of this advertising started on my area after the local city council started considering making their own public option for power.

Coming back to this, what I should be surprised by is the relatively large portions of people getting news 'across the isle'. My prior was that this was substantially worse, with single digit percent of people getting any actual news at all.

I was under the impression that FOX has now bought many small local news stations in no-where-ville, which did (and, I assume, continue to do) perfectly competent local reporting. Am I crazy?

They just also run nonsense on the side; the 'mandatory' coverage. Was there a late-show about this a few years back?

If you have a venmo or other money-transfer method, consider cash.

While a thoughtful gift is nice, cash is flexible. Enough small gifts, and one can flee home...

With no particular authority (or endorsement), just what I've used:

Something I'm grateful for.

An update on a (usually work related) project I care about.

A cool program I learned about recently.

A policy that really would make life better.

What a particular emotion feels like to me, where it happens, and an image that fits it (use a list of emotions from somewhere).

What I spent the most time on that day, and how I think my relationship with it is.

A haiku (or 3) about something that happened today.

Game design ideas

Just put a relatively tech unaware friend on mint. They're doing very well so far!

I thought many of these were in the "Shadow docket" (or emergency docket), which is not new and is usually not given justifications/opinions. I understand these are traditionally cases where the legal question just isn't interesting (or expedient to flesh out). The court doesn't hide this practice, you can read about it here: Related news service

This isn't to say the court is acting normally. But I want to complicate this observation; one should compare with other presidents and issues.

My data plan on my phone expired rather suddenly (my phone was too old), and I just didn't get a new phone number/data plan (wifi + wifi calling still worked).

It was nice having unplugged transit time.

 

The Harris-Walz campaign has said they want to create a federal ban on corporate price gouging (usually mentioned when folks talk about price hikes in grocery stores). I see economists complaining about variations of this policy being bad, e.g. leading to food desserts. But as far as I can tell there hasn't been anything specific proposed. Could someone explain our best guess at what they are proposing, and if it's been serious analyzed/tested elsewhere?

They cite existing legislation in the states; maybe explaining what that legislation does/how it works would be helpful?

 

I have been having a very nice run today with: 4x one drops (ideally some scalers) Zabu and Psylock Wiccan storm Legion and Blink Loki (or some other stuff generator)

plus some cheap stuff. The dream is to play cards in the order above, something like sunspot - zabu - wiccan - 2drop + storm - legion the flooding and lock the opponent out on turn 6. But most every game I either get the full scam combo, or the wiccan line. Retreat if you don't start with a one drop (which is quite rare).

 

And, for bonus points, how are they made?

These seem like an awfully important test piece. I'm pretty sure they're just checking for glucose with some enzyme or something. But who knows, maybe its something simple or everyday? Are all brands using the same materials?

I'm not very good at telling when I need more sunlight, exercise, or even food. But I can tell when our pet needs things, and find it pretty motivating to take care of them (and hence myself).

 

I have been walking to the nearest grocery, and have just had my foldable shopping cart break. The large plastic wheels shattered, and made for a very unpleasant time dragging the thing back home. I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for a good cart, or even one that's relatively easy to repair. Foldable is not important. Not getting stuck on every crack in the sidewalk would be a plus.

 

I've got an old iphone SE 2 second hand, pretty sure the seller is dead at this point. I'd like to use a new sim card, but the carrier is locked (I think Tmobile)?

Glancing online, it seems like the retailer will want proof of purchase. Is there anyway to do this easily from home, or should I start looking at jailbreaking it? (This is for a friend; I'd rather keep this as simple as possible)

Follow up for any future wanderers: This worked, but only because the seller was indeed dead. They asked me to pay the balance on the account, took a credit card payment, and then unlocked it ~5 min later. Not too painful.

 

Policy video on assisted dying by a UK doctor. Youtube has decided not to promote it as an intense topic, so I'm putting it here.

FWIW, I don't think the video will be particularly triggering. It's heavy, but they are quite focused on the case of physiologically terminally ill patients.

 

What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three?

So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that aren't co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.

 

Just played a game and saw a weird bug - I loki'd their kitty pryde while mobius and quinjet was around. After it got pulled back to my hand it gave the 'Can't Do!' popup throughout the ending location effects and next draw/turn. Stopped after... a lot of pop-ups.

 

I've recently wanted a more programmable one, as my work recently broke the shared calendar (but haven't broke the rss feed for it, yet!). Suggestions?
