This is always the problem: Monopolies are popular with consumers because their centralization makes everything easy. The trappings of convenience.

Buy stuff directly from stores. Every time I've looked, the price elsewhere often exactly matches what Amazon charges because their pricing algorithms are constantly price matching anyhow.

This is the biggest load of shit. When I saw that game on the Game Awards, I went to their site and found the usual NFT crap talking about the $CATY token, air drops, financial investment risk disclosures, etc. It looks like it was scrubbed since, but likely because the game was getting so much attention after the awards.

If vaccination is just as bad for children as the Catholic church then he's going to ban both of them, right? 🙄

It's more important than ever to find and support local, independent news. The major news outlets all have corporate and capital biases that are going to get worse.

At it's core, Salesforce is basically a database. You can create custom objects (tables) and fields (columns) tailored to your business' needs to store anything and everything. But you can't just easily replace it with a database because they have tons of layers of automations and workflows built on top to make it insanely user friendly: Customer sends an email and it's automatically logged and tickets opened, sales person has a call and can create quotes and they are automatically sent to the correct people for approvals, managers can get access to accounts managed by their team but not the entire company, etc. It's the "works out of the box but still let's you customize them" business process automations and UI that make Salesforce what it is.

It also strongly encourages people to return their ballots in person likely because the GOP is already set to challenge mail-in ballots as "rigged".

Good Old Projection: The Republicans are already using X to cheat the election and they don't want competition.

Probably all those throwaway accounts that people create to post comments that they don't want attached to themselves in any way. I doubt many people took enough precautions to prevent Reddit from identifying them as alternate accounts though.

The article also considers people buying a new place instead of renting. Yeah rent has also spiked, but that $1.5m still pays for 25 years of renting a condo for $5,000/month.

PGP solved this a long time ago, but it is difficult to make it user friendly enough for non-technical people to understand and adopt it.
