Both true statements. The banking apps that don’t work aren’t because google wallet doesn’t work, but because they use the same trust policies that Wallet requires in order to run (which GrapheneOS cannot meet because its not a “trusted” OS, per Google)

<end of list>

Some banking apps allegedly don’t work but i have never encountered one. If your bank has a mobile accessible website, it’s basically a non-issue.

Only as long as the you shaped hole is lucky enough to avoid any studs.

Someone within 350 feet of this open WiFi network I hacked onto is low on rinse aid

Oh no, my privacy is ruined!

Your warning I heed

Running as root is risky

Time for firewalls

Lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% (lowest in history).

Obvious tax cuts for the rich.

That’s all his financiers hear.

Constantly attacks marginalized groups.

That’s all his voters hear.

Everything else goes in one ear and out the other, muddied up with enough “whataboutism” and “both sides” rhetoric from the financiers to keep the voters from actually considering alternative options.

This beta OS

Looks minimal, simple, fast

Maybe I’ll try it

I wonder if those numbers have anything to do with the fact that Payday 2 is pretty regularly on sale for like $2,for a mature game, while Payday 3 is $40 for what is essentially a public beta based on the amount of things they’re having to fix/change/update.

Unless they make major changes as proposed by one of their minority stakeholders.

You mean go private, lay off a bunch of their devs, and hope the games just produce themselves for free?

This is fantastic! Now I know exactly which manufacturer to avoid at all costs, AND they’ve made it harder for their competition to use this shitty system. Dear Ford, please keep patenting bad ideas.

Imagine you run a restaurant, and a handful of people offer to pay to wash your dishes for you. Great deal right? But then you notice they start posting reviews of your food on Yelp, but only from the kitchen:

“Steak from the fridge was unseasoned and undercooked - 0/5”

“Chow mein was dry and stuck to the plate like it was sitting on someone else’s table for an hour - 1/5”

“By the time the soda got here, it was flat and fries the waitress dropped off were cold and soggy”

At what point do you decide maybe this isn’t actually in your best interest in the long run? How much do these rubes need to pay you in order to put up with their complications?

Does Spam need meat to be great? Feels like an easy swap to me!

First I’ve ever even heard of this!

PS5 Exclusive

That explains it! Still good on them for making a game that looks like a joy to play, instead of another played out take on Military Industrial Complex Propaganda 3! Hopefully this can help bring us back towards more games that are just good fun

Really glad they redacted “US Political Party A” and “US Political Party B”. I for one am completely stumped as to which parties they could be referring.

User to me falls in a similar category to “client” or “customer”, none are derogatory, but they’re all very transactional. “Fan” or “gamer” feel more familiar, like a hotel “guest”. It’s a minor distinction, but it implies more of a two way relationship, and from personal experience, the language used by leadership tends to closely tie to how employees treat their customers.

Probably, but only a fraction of what is used to protect the feed for cattle.

Yeah but they’re not overdosing your broccoli on antibiotics.

Friendly reminder people can stop eating meat at any point if they don’t want to contribute to problems like this.

(In the US) bans on some of the major AB chemicals went into effect in 2016, so that’s helped cut back on what’s on the shelves. Manufacturers have had to reformulate or just stop.

More public awareness is still very much necessary though

It’s more than that, its been shown to not be any more effective than regular hand washing with non-antibacterial soap, and it has major negative ecosystem impacts. For example, it is hard to filter and fish downstream of AB soap bioaccumulate the AB chemicals to the point of toxicity.

At best it’s useless, at worst it contributes to AB resistance, and is toxic to downstream flora and fauna.
