I stopped reading after “subscription-based”.
But this kind of thing is ripe for unintended consequences at best and flat out bad data at worst.
When I drive I put my phone in the center so I can see the map. If me and my passenger’s phones are in the center, who is marked as driving when I get into an accident?
From there, why stop at one phone? Let’s put several phones in the back seat, including mine. Hell, let’s have a burner phone that I use only for driving that has a throw away account. Or let’s go back to old fashioned maps and GPS devices while our phones are turned off. Meanwhile, at home, I’ve spun up a virtual device where it is very peacefully driving a route. Perfectly. Then I have another virtual device that is driving a different route on the other side of the world driving erratically.
These companies are forgetting that the data from phones are data from devices, not people. If you’re going to spy on me, I’m going to make you fucking earn it.
On the one hand I completely understand and agree with businesses that do this. CC fees take a huge chunk out of your bottom line.
On the other hand, I’m less likely to go there a second time unless I really, really, really like your business.
For my barber, I will gladly pay in cash.
There’s a convenience store that charged me the 3% at check out. I left everything on the counter and went the extra mile or so and went to a normal grocery store.
Oooh… I’d love a YouTube integration with jellyfin.
Tell me more.
I’d love the features of a podcast app but for YouTube creators I follow.
I’m 100% torrents if I need it. Fmovies or other sites seem to have the majority of what I want to watch.
Is there a guide on how to use usenet? What does it offer that torrents does not? Is it nitch stuff?
LPT: For faucets like this (or if you just want running water to wash something) get a paper towel. Wet it under the water and then put it over the sensor.
Toilet paper also works but it’s messier.
If he tells you, he’d be advertising and that’s against his religion.
Meat drippings.
I know that this isn’t the point but I absolutely can’t stand the word “juice” to describe meat drippings.
Juice is from a fruit! When I see juice to describe meat drippings, all I can think of is someone squeezing a big steak and squeezing all the “juice” out.
Anyway, commit message is on point. Add a small pinch of flour to thicken the “juice” and you’ll have gravy.
I demand:
If we had better politicians, these threats from the MPAA would amount to just whining.
They may not know how it works, which is why it’s fucking dangerous that they are getting “consulted” by the MPA.
Best case scenario: it’s just a DNS level block.
Worst case scenario: it’s a DNS level log capture so that the MPA can sue people who watch things on fmovies or similar sites, like the RIAA did in the 90s.
Not in the US. The number of people who trust PayPal absolutely amazes me.
PayPal is not a bank. Regardless of what they write on their site, they aren’t regulated as a bank or insured as a bank.
They have the legal authority to close your account and take your money for any reason. There are countless horror stories of people trying to get PayPal to release their funds only to find out they have no legal recourse.
