  • MFW I'm cutting back on groceries (yet again) so that a line goes up somewhere

  • Fwiw, the cheap olive oil is really good for mayo you make yourself. EVOO should be used for things like salads and bread, where the taste makes the difference.

    If you want oil in a pan, cheap stuff works just fine...only you have to be careful because olive oil in the states isn't always olive oil.

  • 11-yo called the police and they shot him, and now they're trying to take her other kids away

  • Without even opening the article, I'm going to guess this woman is a person of color.

    Opens article

    Why am I not surprised?

  • Sen. Bernie Sanders's office in Vermont caught fire. Arson is suspected, but the motive is unclear

  • When a democrat does it, it's literally terrorism.

    But when a Republican does it, it's just a small, isolated incident and barely warrants a charge.

    Just a lone wolf.

    One time thing.

    Never will happen again.

    One bad apple.

    How could we have known?

  • Massive Thank You

  • Shit, I'm even grateful for when you all tell me off.

    Oh fuck off!

    Just kidding! I haven't seen any of your posts here (mostly because I sort by all) but yeah the people in this sub are top tier.

    A few weeks ago I came here to ask about building my own computer and which parts to get because it had been years since I've done so and everyone was nice about it.

  • Man who used megaphone to lead attack on police during Capitol riot gets more than 7 years in prison

  • It obviously does not give anyone the right to assault the police. Nor was the January 6 riot an act of civil disobedience, because it was violent, not peaceful; opportunistic, not principled; coercive, not persuasive; and selfish, not patriotic.

    Damn....no notes.

  • Workers united!

  • I love how the guy is blaming minimum wage workers, who have no control over prices, than the mega corporation that used the raising of minimum wage to raise prices across the board.

  • The largest fresh egg producer in the U.S. has found bird flu in chickens at a Texas plant on Tuesday

  • Fwiw, egg prices did come down after the last shortage..... But not back down to pre-shortage levels.

    It looks like egg sellers took a page out of airline companies. Jack up the price. There is outrage. Lower prices a few weeks apart until it's at a point that is larger than when you started but people seem to be okay with.

  • Trump sues Truth Social co-founders, says they're not entitled to stock shares

  • It was in reference to the fact that Trump, while president, says he "met with the "President of the Virgin Islands"

    Which, despite his press room's spin, we all know he completely didn't know that he was the president of the Virgin Islands.

  • Trump sues Truth Social co-founders, says they're not entitled to stock shares

  • Except me. Right? He totally promised to make me president of Puerto Rico.

    Because I'm one of the good ones.

    I'm the exception.

    Right?

  • Owner of Dali ship seeks to limit liability in Baltimore bridge collapse

  • I'll believe corporations are people when they kill one via lethal injection.

  • Biden campaign announces it will target flipping Trump’s Florida

  • I think you're underestimating how much MAGA Republicans are willing to bite their own noses off to spit at minorities.

    They will, maybe reluctantly, give up social security, Medicare, any many of the social programs they benefit from if it allows them to hate Mexicans/Cubans/trans people more.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • My main reason for using an app for Walgreens anyway is so I don't have to log in each time. When I go to refill my prescriptions, I'm usually in a hurry and just want to do it and move on. Refill usually takes maybe 4-5 clicks? And often less than 2-3 minutes.

    Whereas on the website, between logging in and finding the medications, it's a much more involved process and I often need to use a computer to navigate it.

    Oddly enough the CVS mobile website is pretty streamlined so I often don't need the app for it. And their mobile site supports passkeys whereas Walgreens doesn't.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • The CVS app is my favorite example of this. Their app (at least on Android) is a fucking browser.

    Walgreens is an actual app and works the way you expect it to.

  • Wayfair's call center insists you give them your SSN before they'll file a report for credit fraud

  • Look into the benefits offered by your other credit cards. My identity was stolen a few years ago and I learned like a few months ago that one of my credit cards offers free identity protection services if/when your identity gets stolen.

    They handle all of the annoying shit like contacting the bank, getting the debt off of your credit card, etc.

    If not, and you were part of the Equifax (or any) hack, you likely have this same service available to you for free.

  • Invaders from underground are coming in cicada-geddon. It's the biggest bug emergence in centuries

  • Is there cumin in that barbeque sauce?

  • Republicans are suing to block another Biden plan to provide student debt relief

  • I know you're kidding but unfortunately student loans can't be transferred. They only die upon death.

  • New Discord TOS binds you to forced arbitration - Opt-Out Now

  • Sending an email is much much better than sending a literal hand written letter.

    I had one opt out where you had to hand write the letter and envelope. Absolutely no way it was enforceable but didn't want to risk it at the time.

  • but your increased productivity paid for (checks notes) approximately 1500 miles of your ceos private jet flights so isn't that worth it

  • It's because all those people think that if they work harder, maybe, just maybe, they will be like him.

    Source: I used to be one of those rubes and now I know better.

  • The Xz Backdoor Highlights the Vulnerability of Open Source Software—and Its Strengths

  • I don't think we need more licenses. OSS license proliferation is bad as it is. IMO, people should do their best to stick with the major licenses: GPL, AGPL, MIT, or Creative Commons if it doesn't fit the above.

    The problem with a tax that you've proposed is that it would be nearly impossible to enforce. How would you know which companies are pulling your library?

    What I've been doing is adding the Commons Clause to my license and that I think helps. I don't write wildly popular software so I don't really see people donating or asking to purchase a license.

    I personally like the Mozilla model where they donate to various open source projects from a common fund. I'd like to see more stuff like that.
