From the thumbnail I thought we were getting “Thirsty Sluts” for a half second.

And many with extreme fascination for boobs.

And plenty who don’t know you can GNU without Linux.

I hate the fact that I know I’m inevitably going to buy this.

AppleTV+ got a price increase a year ago, yesterday.

In app purchases. Apple Arcade games aren’t allowed to include them.

There’s still a large number of us wondering wtf the market for Red Bull is. I want a drink with the flavor and consistency of watered down Stretch Armstrong guts with more caffeine than anything that has ever existed. It seems like such a weird product in general.

Mixed feelings on this. Cool tool, great idea. On the other hand, it’s also an effective tracker. Not privacy friendly.

$10B US in deposits in the first four months of existence

I don’t think so. Two paid upgrades in eight years.

• Bartender 2 - September 2015
• Bartender 3 - September 2017 (Free upgrade)
• Bartender 4 - April 2021
• Bartender 5 - Sept 2023

Seems completely appropriate and acceptable.

It works. End of thoughts.

Lemmy.world is hosted in Finland. 230 is not applicable.

Lots of steps to “figure it out”. Could’ve just pinged the hostname.

Not a big secret. Pretty sure they even announced it.

I like to save them for a rainy day when I need an OCD fix.

$4 would get you an egg sandwich, a coffee and a pack a smokes in ‘83.

Chicken and egg. The tuitions have been able to reach the insane heights due to the ready availability of these loans.

It was a lot harder to get loans thirty years ago. Almost on par with the criteria for any other personal loan. A four year CompSci degree that could be had for under $25K, in total, opened the door to a $45K to $60K entry level position for a typical graduate.

Availability of loans broke wide open, under the guise of providing opportunity, and now the same degree costs 5-10x with yet the typical entry level salary remains more or less the same, give or take a few inflation points.

Because the alternative makes a lot more money.

Not to discount or diminish your experience but I’ve had the polar opposite with Aetna/CVS.

Due to unfortunate circumstances my family has had nearly 300 claims via Aetna over the past 24 months with only one hitch that required any legwork on my side. We pick up all our ad hoc prescriptions at the local Walgreens and all of our maintenance meds shipped via an independent provider. Only one script has ever been mandated to go through Caremark and it’s was a specialty drug that ran about $1000 US per daily dose.

Agreed. I’ve probably got 100 keys registered with GitHub and 98 of them the private key is long destroyed due to OS reinstalls or whatnot. Format machine, new key. New machine, new key.
