The article is full of typos, too.

Who let this dreck out the door? Did Forbes lay off all their editors or what?

That’s what I figured after thinking about it, that there had to be some procedural reason for it.

Which, funnily enough, would also qualify the murders as first-degree under Minnesota state law: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.185

The suspect faces several charges of second-degree murder.

This baffles me. Looking up your fucking victim’s addresses isn’t enough evidence of premeditation to qualify for first-degree charges?

As someone with a lot of web backend engineering experience, this had me yelling at the screen at a few points, but really cool nonetheless.

You? Where else?

Provision forgejo on k8s with c4k

This title belongs in a “statements made up by the deranged” meme

Also just makes the zipper easier to operate in general.

This is the same article that was posted yesterday with the title “Kill DNS”

In the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), having multiple faiths is explicitly forbidden in the Ten Commandments: https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(King_James)/Exodus#20:1

2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

And you can see this play out historically: when Christians met peoples of other faiths, they didn’t see it as an opportunity for learning and cultural exchange, they saw them as heathens that needed to be proselytized… or eradicated.

Conversely, I feel like Buddhists are the most likely to have other faiths, because Buddhism changed and adapted as it spread throughout Asia, and incorporated elements of the local religions.

It’s clear they did not walk out.

By the time I placed my order - paying a 1% fee to the app makers in the process - I would have happily paid double for the experience of simply flipping through a menu and talking to another human being.

(Emphasis mine.) This is from the very next paragraph after what I quoted.

You also clearly missed the point of my comment, which is that unless consumers start refusing to take this bullshit lying down, this stuff will be unavoidable in the future because there will be no other choices left.

That’s assuming the employees give enough of a shit to pass the feedback on to the owners, and that the owners give enough of a shit to listen.

Yeah, it’s better if you make it known why you’re not giving them your business, but if it doesn’t appreciably impact their revenue then most owners won’t care either way.

My phone struggled to load the site to order a single cold brew, pop-ups to install the custom App kept obscuring the options, and I had to register with my phone number, email address, and first and last name to buy a $5 cup of coffee.

Then walk out. Don’t reward the bullshit with your money. The coffee shop ain’t gonna give a shit if you keep buying coffee just to go home and complain on your blog.

Fortunately, most of my family is so tech illiterate that even if a real video got out, I could just tell them it’s a deepfake and they’d probably believe me.

There’s a lot of insight here but I wonder if anyone will corroborate it. The author admits that the app they worked on wasn’t nearly as big as the likes of Tinder and Hinge so I wonder if the overall patterns are the same.

If any store starts requiring a fucking app to make a purchase, that store has permanently lost my business.

You have not earned the privilege of being installed on my phone. Get the fuck out of here.

This is a neat trick but it works best on Linux and maybe macOS.

Implementing it on Windows requires some luck as you can’t just map adjacent pages, you have to just request two of them and hope the OS gives you two contiguous ones. For example, see this abandoned Rust crate: https://github.com/gnzlbg/slice_deque/blob/045fb28701d3b674b5da413266ca84b3e5a70190/src/mirrored/winapi.rs#L57

You also wouldn’t have paid to use Honey.

That’s my point? Nothing is ever truly free?

I pay $100/month for internet access.

Lemmy may be free to access, but certainly not free to host. Am I paying for it personally? No, but someone is.

You also don’t see Lemmy paying hundreds of YouTubers and influencers for ad spots.

The very first time I saw an ad for Honey I knew there had to be a catch. Nothing is ever free.

It wasn’t immediately obvious how they were going to make money, though. I figured they’d just sell gather and sell user data. I had completely forgotten about affiliate links. But they probably also sell your data for good measure.
