Let me preface this by saying I’m pretty anticapitalist, but I think the idea is that you create a new product or expand into a new industry. You can maintain growth for a long time that way.

Yeah, that feels like a really weird choice.

Well today I learned!

A penny saved is still a penny saved. I’m not saying it would amount to much, but it is non-zero.

Depends on how much traffic you’re talking about. Encrypting/decrypting isn’t free.

Nothing in the comic says expensive Chinese products won’t also become more expensive 🤣

Avoiding shorts is a feature IMO

I’m not claiming that it was “intuitive”, just that the browser did tell the user exactly what the add-on was allowed to do. Sure, Chrome and Firefox deserve some blame for not making the warning more explicit/dire, but they did make an attempt. Overwriting cookies and rewriting affiliate links are subsets of “access your data”.

Also, I’m not claiming that I knew exactly what Honey was doing, just that I suspected it was shady and recommended no one use it.

It wasn’t “uncovered” though. This is their business model. I’ve told every person I know using Honey for years that it’s a shady extension and they should stop using it. Unfortunately I don’t have a huge following to offset Honey’s massive ad spend.

I’m not calling anyone stupid, but stop treating this like it’s new information. Your browser warned you this might happen when you installed the extension:

I think you meant to reply to the parent comment?

Vaccines protect the workforce and allow individuals to produce more. People being against vaccines cannot be good for capitalism, can it?

100.00$ vs $100.00 I guess? Though I suppose you could turn the period into a comma.

Go for it then! Gentoo is a blast (if you enjoy this sort of thing) and is surprisingly stable once you get it set up.

One tip, before I forget, is to save your firmware from MacOS before wiping the drive. Unfortunately I don’t remember where it’s located, and no longer have access to try and find it 😅

You’ll need to be a bit more specific about the iMac. What year is it?

If it’s pre-2017, I’d expect some difficulty with the WiFi. If it’s newer, you might have luck with https://wiki.t2linux.org/distributions/gentoo/installation/ . I haven’t followed that guide, so YMMV.

Bit of pedantry, but ~/boot expands to something like /home/username/boot.

/boot is a folder at the root of your filesystem, while ~/boot is a directory in your home folder.

TIL! Guess I saw the reverse once, and it’s stuck with me. Carry on.

Has the meaning of this template changed? Like isn’t the pink guy supposed to be a thing supporting the white dude so they can accomplish a goal they couldn’t have done alone?

For example, the pink guy could be “Debian”, the white person “Ubuntu”, and the yellow goal “Being an awesome distribution”.

I recently discovered emerge --jobs 8 --load-average 8 instead of just make -j8. Not gonna help much on a 900MHz pentium, but it has really sped up my build times.

That said, there are cases of players noticing emergent behaviour in games! For example: https://twitter.com/JoelBurgess/status/1428008041887281157
