People don’t understand this about inflation and it will disappoint them very soon once inflation is fully back to rates we saw pre-pandemic.
Grocery prices aren’t coming down. Housing prices aren’t going down. Utility costs aren’t going down. The best we can hope for is for them to not increase as fast as they have the last four years and for the usual fluctuations in things like gas or electricity costs to fluctuate down more than up.
It’s funny, I think Vegas is perfectly fine as the city of sin so things like this really don’t phase me. It was built on the idea of crime and excess.
What does seem weird to me is how in a desert, why isn’t everything solar? The sun is their only natural resource besides sand. Every rooftop and parking lot and flat surface possible seems like it should be a panel.
That embezzlement conviction of Dalongeville, is both damning and an interesting look at the problem. Liberalism and leftism haven’t solved problems that common people actually experience. The right hasn’t either and has no real plan to, they just bother to talk about it and give common people a boogie man that they can aim their anger at.
It is frustrating to me how these parties on left barely even try to make people’s lifes better. To show them why more leftist or socialist policies are the way to go. It has been proven time and time again throughout history that in times of financial insecurity, normal people are easily swayed by far right strongmen and demonization of a weaker other. Why does the left continue to fail at preventing this?
It also feels like their insistence is doing nothing but hurting them. The average consumer who doesn’t know the difference between a local account and a Microsoft account won’t know or care about MS doing this.
But the users who do have a preference and do want a local account are just going to be irritated at it and give them bad press. They’ll eventually figure out how to make a local account anyway and it may be the push they need to migrate off of Windows.
It really feels like drug users’ demand for drugs that don’t kill them would create a market for artisanal drugs, like with the alcohol industry.
If I had any interest in hard drugs, I would be terrified to use them now. I know we’re dealing with addicts who aren’t making good decisions, but aren’t there wealthy coke fiends? How can anyone snort lines at a party if they don’t know if it has all this lethal shit in it?
You can also play with it to try and get closer to correct. I had problems with getting an Excel macro working and getting unattended-updates working on my pihole. GPT was wrong at first, but got me partly there and I could massage the question and Google and get closer to the right answer. Without it, I wouldn’t have been able to get any of it, especially with the macro.
That is what is frustrating. He doesn’t really mean what you “see”. He means go with your gut/surface level feelings and understanding. If you “see” something that goes against what you see or what you feel without any specialized knowledge on the subject, go with your priors.
Did you get a browser error when trying this? It might be because you left the www in the URL. I had to remove that and replace it with old, and it works. The rest of the link structure is the same on both old and new reddit. I even tried it from a VPN just to be sure it wasn’t seeing my logged in cookies, and in a private browsing window where RES isn’t allowed to run. Worked fine.
Private Internet Access works for me. Just tested logged out in an incognito mode tab.
Interesting. I’ll have to test it when I get home. I’m always signed in and I use RES so could be some other factors causing it to not be a problem for me.
Old Reddit works for me, but I am logged into an account.
That is basically what they did. There are a decent amount of third party apps around that work. I personally use Narwhal.
The further we get from the whole third party app debacle, the more I think this was just a way to kill the most popular apps. The ones that people said made reddit worth using. The ones that got shouted out in Apple keynotes.
Old Reddit works for me. Does it just not work in general for you, or does it not work when not logged into an account?
Someone answered this for me. It’s just that it’s open source. If that matters to you, there you go.
Ah, gotcha. Makes sense.
Is there anything about Aegis that makes it better than Authy? Just looking at the page for Aegis, I’m not seeing a lot of difference. And it being Android only limits it.
Did people call RCS open source? I’m not a huge follower of the standard, but I don’t think I ever heard that said. In fact, I’ve heard people complain about not just the proprietary encryption but lack of E2E and carrier/Google control.
Its only advantages are that it is better than SMS and supported by the carriers, Google and Apple sometime this year.
It’s a shitty standard but given how shitty SMS is, I’m willing to hold my nose and jump in.
Not only that but reddit isn’t allowing you to make new accounts as of today, without having a Gmail account first.
What? So you can’t use any other email provider but Google to sign up for a Reddit account?
EDIT: I actually don’t think this is correct. I just went to the sign up page and it does have buttons to create an account using Google or Apple OAuth (I assume) but there is a field under those two buttons for just any email. Put in my Outlook.com email and it accepted it and went to the next page where I could create my user name and password.
The very idea is absurd. It is so counter productive to the idea of rehabilitation. The prisons themselves say they aren’t a significant revenue stream. Trying to offset the cost of a societal need by charging fees to prisons doesn’t even make any sense. And the companies that are tasked with collecting this debt get 70% of what they collect which means that even the argument about offsetting the state’s cost doesn’t make sense.
It’s profit seeking, counter productive cruelty and that’s it. Just shameful.
Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean. I don’t think most people understand that, and it will lead to people losing faith in experts when they’re told inflation is back to pre-pandemic levels but prices aren’t.
