What the other replies shitting on macOS seem to be overlooking is the support Apple provides.

Got stuck on something? call the support line or web chat.

Want to go to a training session? go to a local store.

All this stuff is super important for a novice who wants to learn without feeling dependent on their tech friend.

The RAM manufactures would normally consider increasing production in the face of increased demand, but they all know it’s a massive bubble so don’t want to, resulting in increased process until this all plays out.

The BNPL company also charges the merchant much more than a credit card company does. Something like 6%. So they’re also making money on people who do pay in full at 0%.

The theory goes that the merchant is happy to pay the higher rate because it makes a sale happen that otherwise wouldn’t. Unfortunately that increased cost just gets added to the price everyone pays.

Rise and shine Mr Freeman. Rise and shine

Pip is the Python package manager styled to look like npm the Node package manager

Yeah it’s weird. I always opt out and it seems to make no difference whatsoever.

Personally I don’t think there’s any obligation. Folks have campaigned for rights to be enjoyed, not for those people who receive the rights to feel obligated to join the fight.

If you can afford it consider donating to a charity that supports campaigners for the rights you enjoy. This way you can increase their ability to campaign without needing to be directly involved.

Quite possibly related to the Steam gift card scam https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/09A1-E754-1D86-DDC9

Often all the shops round here are sold out of steam gift cards for this reason. It’s sad, I spoke to a store worker about it, they explain to people they are getting scammed but they want the cards anyway.

I’m far from good and lying about it constantly is killing me

I suggest you consider talking to your doctor or a mental health professional. If you feel a long way from ‘good’ some professional assistance might help improve your way.

There are ‘Stop the steal’ rallies going on in South Korea. anti_woke_mind_virus detected I guess.

Yeah. ByteDance, the owners, are choosing to block US users to kick up the maximum fuss possible. From my understanding they didn’t need to, they just risked withering away because there would be no new users.

I wonder if the target of these bot communities is not Lemmy users, but rather to be slurped up by AI scrapers in the hope of influencing future models.

Amazon charges per hour for renting a server. Some are very expensive. It’s a common mistake to forget to turn off a server after you’ve finished using it and end up paying more than you planned.

It’s a conversation starter when you see another leftie in the field.

Pretty sure the scary warnings in big bold text are more recent than this report.

Also be prepared have your photograph taken and to be ‘ten printed’. Which means fingerprints for all 10 digits will be taken. Usually right 4 fingers in one time then the thumb then repeated for the other hand.

You must have documentation showing your onward travel from the USA. Strongly recommend printing this out rather than relying on your phone. Wifi is usually crap at customs if it’s available at all.

Make sure you have an ESTA (or a full visa) sorted out before travel or you will not be able to board the plane.

One other tip. Get an e-sim from someone like Nomad or Airalo. Then you can use that for data. Getting a sim in America never seems to be as simple as it should be.

Four-way stops are like roundabouts without the roundabout. But with stop signs.

The priority is different to a roundabout. A four way stop is ‘person who arrived at their stop line first goes first’. If two arrive at the same time the person on the right has priority.
