I think there is also upside here by formally allowing renters to positively affect their credit history through consistent renting.
Homeowners and credit card owners can improve their credit via consistent payments, why not renters?
(Yes, I do know there are ways to have your lease impacting your credit but they aren’t a default and many renters would benefit from the credit boost this could enable)
Yeah, I’m with you. The entitlement around media (games movies TV) is insane to me.
You do realize those are usually exclusive for only a year, right? So EGS pays them out for a year of exclusivity and then the devs are free to launch on steam and others.
The thing is, often if they don’t get that first infusion of cash from a deal with EGS (or another investor) they don’t get to complete or even launch the game at all. So it never would make it to the other markets.
Btw he still has to play the full amount. Just reduced payment needed now. It’s still shitty, but he ain’t off the hook.
Pretty sure folks are referring to streaming sites meaning like Netflix. The person you are responding to said “click and go” referring to services like YouTube and Hulu not sketchy “streaming” sites like what you are describing that require some hoops to go through to make sure.you don’t download a virus.
they almost certainly saw you
Nah, there’s not enough info to know that or even assume it. People are not perfectly aware of their surroundings or others looking at them
Not suggesting our system is correct or even good, but have you considered who a person counts as their most trusted advisors? Usually ones immediate family are very important to them and often helps guide their opinions on life.
So when it comes to the president or leader of a country, I think it’s actually a bit nice to see the family, because they will absolutely be involved somehow. Knowing if the family is stable or not in public appearances is fairly valuable to understanding the proposed leader.
So what, we should eat shit and die and suffer and not be excited about things that feel like small victories?
The pov you’re providing is bleak and grim. We aren’t dumb, we know we’re fucked and our election sucks. We can focus on multiple things at a time and we can laugh at our political idiots while also being mad at them.
Definitely try and finish the series first. The unofficial fourth is a direct continuation of some of the in-universe lore/happenings
They tried to stand impartial (my most generous interpretation of reddits in-action towards the donald) and it really fucked them.
It’s so weird how many platforms cater to harmful rhetoric in an effort to stay neutral only for them to later ban the community after the damage has been done.
If I were more conspiratorial I’d suggest the Donald survived for as long as it did on purpose and with the explicit support of the reddit admins/execs…
I’d suggest skipping it. While it’s a fun continuation, the writer is not nearly as good as Liu Cixin. It’s definitely a fanfic
Could you elaborate on which? I’ve seen a lot of sketchy reviews recently
Fastmail supports aliases as well. I’m not sure how they are from a privacy side overall tho
I’m also the moderator of a community that Stamets has quit, so I know that losing him is a blow, because he posts a lot of content
Eh no worries, not really a loss when most of the posts were a deluge of low quality content. My feed instantly got better after that block…
I don’t feel the need to defraud the government and our limited social welfare taxes. I’ll happily tell my employer white lies about family who don’t exist, but never the government.
The feline investigation bureau?
This will just push websites to change the orders and names of their query params (maybe regularly).
I don’t think one can safely omit all query params from all sites and expect a decent experience across all websites.
You are fighting a good fight, I salute you, but query params (the part of the url where the identifiers are included) are a valid and core part of Internet addresses. Trying to strip them away universally will only work for so long.
I think that’s why you haven’t found a tool that meets all your needs yet, because many sites have legitimate uses for those params that don’t include tracking. You’ll probably need tools designed specifically for Amazon and other specific websites/services.
Today I learned! Thanks
What is a sea change? Never heard this anachronism/phrase put this way
Did they mean to say a Sea of Change? The source article also says it this way.
Fwiw they’re just collecting a paycheck. Sure it’s scummy for them to not reject the businesses offering them the money but tbh I really don’t blame them - I’d probably take the cash too.
Depending on the channel size sponsored ad reads can deliver upwards of multiple thousand per video for the creator. If you see multiple channels with the same ads, it’s bc the company advertising got a big budget approved, that’s it.
Imo just skip the ad reads (or get sponsorblock) and forget they exist. Usually the creator doesn’t even give a fuck who’s paying them or why. They are victims of the system too, not maliciously peddling garbage. I do wish they didn’t have to peddle anything, but here we are.
