You are best friends with all the dominos drivers?

That’s what 3 days worth of unhealthy hot food, delivered to your door should cost. It’s an extravagant service; it should be an extravagant price.

The real problem is that all those extra fees and expenses just go straight into owner pockets/shareholder value instead of providing the employees with medical care, proper insurance and a real retirement.

If you want to save money, teach your daughter how to safely cook a frozen pizza. If she’s old enough to be home alone and answer the door when strangers show up, why can’t she fed herself?

I used the Mcdonalds app a few times and the drivethru was always faster, lmao.

They require location services and don’t start cooking until you’re inside their geofence, but IME they seem to still prioritize drivethru customers.

It’s just that they have no idea how to answer the question

The road standards are designed to protect the occupants, not the other users on the road.

This is a critical flaw with current safety and CAFE standards.

You say that like a specific technology is inevitable, but it never is. The general march of tech will continue on, but no one thing is ever guaranteed.

e.g. 20 years ago everyone needed custom browser toolbars and now it’s not even possible to add one on major browsers. We eliminated the need for browser features by cramming 99% of what we need into a handful of websites that are constantly refreshed.

e.g. 10 years ago blockchain was surging and today it still doesn’t have a usable application. Turns out spreadsheets don’t really need to be distributed.

Machine learning is just an algorithm nobody understands. If I needed something to give me wrong answers to questions I’ll ask my dog.

On the other hand, discord is a great way to help organize a community wiki.

When you are trying to build a community

…Don’t use community software, got it.

It’s still popular because it was popular.

Also, it was simple and modular.

It was largely succeeded by monolithic and enshittified versions of iTunes, which have zero appeal these days. So it’s still remembered fondly for not enshittifying and not trying to build a walled garden.

Well, it is on Android…

But the main app is tightly integrated into the win32 api–moving it to linux would basically require a complete rewrite. DEADBEEF is an example of something like this. Parallel values and ideals, but open source.

There are wine-bottled versions out there. Of course, whether or not output is bit perfect would depend on the wine settings. Bottling it, of course, defeats the point of the program being highly modular/extensible.

Also, you have to remember that a lot of proprietary formats have proprietary encoders/decoders that are incompatible with the GPL.

Shipping Windows binaries are much less of a hassle for the dev than than trying to reverse-engineer everything they need or figuring out how to manage dependencies with different licenses across different package managers and distros with different goals.

tl;dl foobar2000 is an excellent sum of its parts; like Winamp was back-in-the-day. You start changing parts and you get a different sum.

How many mac applications are coded using win32 api?

Put a couple 18650 cells under the hingle like it’s 2008

Tires are generaly made from a kind of rubber, not plastic

Both are made of polymers.

Rubber, also known as latex, is naturally occurring polymer from the sap of a specific species of tree.

“Synthetic rubber”, is in fact, plastic.

Po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to

Opera has always been do-do and always had a do-do engine. Now it’s spyware.

When they released CS1 it was in a similar state.

The difference is that nobody was paying attention to CS1 until after a couple patches were released and the game picked up momentum as it was improved and more fleshed out.

When you don’t have fresh fruits for the canning line, you can keep the lines busy with another product you mix up from a shelf stable powder…pudding.

Box mix.

That dumb reason is Tether printing new phoney-bucks.

Advertising is a drain on society that encourages regular people to choose and act suboptimally.

There are absolutely allowed to be laws around advertising and people absolutely have the right to be annoyed when those laws are not properly protecting them.

Video games are no longer a wild frontier, it’s a 50 year old established industry and market that is wildly profitable and absolutely deserves to be legislated into polite and proper conduct.

We absolutely should bitch and moan that meaningful legislation is not being passed on this front.

Your username checks out.

Correct.

You can run linux on just any hardware, yet somehow the capitalist still manage to fuck it up.
