Firefox is just the only decent option. And while at it, use Piped or Invidious while you still can, people!
Holy guacamole, Argentina was at the precipice's edge and finally decided to take a step forward
Sorry for the comrades who will have to deal with this hell
So really it’s just a polite way of saying “yeah you better be thankful.”
lol that escalated quickly
When I hear "you're welcome" the only thing I think of is that I'm welcome
A much serendipitous coincidence: one of the economists that won the Economics Nobel Prize
for pioneering research that showed an increase in minimum wage does not lead to less hiring and immigrants do not lower pay for native-born workers, challenging commonly held ideas
is Canadian!
Only in a few select shit democracies can a company push back on a government entity trying to do something so basic as to provide decent tax filling mechanisms
I’m placing my bets on piped video instead, for now at least. YouTube needs something more tragic, like getting acquired by Elon Musk, before it bleeds for real.
Good read. Most often it’s hard for me to exercise empathy with people falling for the stupidest goop shit out there, but looking at the problem seriously it’s yet another societal construct that disproportionally affects the marginalized.
It’s one thing to waste time and money on crooks when you’ve got plenty of both, it’s another to flaunt this as a good idea and entice the masses to choose this over real medicine.
H-h-how? HOW? do they ‘anonymize’ DNA?!?!
If you really curious, it is possible depending on the sections of the DNA being shared and how aggregated they are. Not saying that this will be the case - it's quite likely that this sale would be done prioritizing value instead of privacy - but it is possible. The key part is to not treat the whole DNA as a data sample, but specific sequence sections, as isolated as possible.
And the Netflix example is instructive but not super relevant here. If you already have your SNPs in a public database out there, then yeah 23andMe might not be able to effectively anonymize your samples; but you don't (I hope).
At this point I'm just holding for dear life to piped.video, because illegal front-ends are my only hope to keep watching YouTube.
My retirement dream is to setup a crow box to train these fellas to pick up cigarette butts and trade them for peanuts. A decade later, hopefully all Vancouver crows will be primed to attack smokers to steal cigarettes.
My biggest tip is to not be stingy with dishwasher usage. If you already have one, use it always.
- The cheapest store brand powder detergent works fine and its way cheaper than liquid dishwashing detergent for manual usage
- PS: Pods are unnecessarily expensive and you'd need two of them to make good use of pre-washing cycles making it even more wasteful.
- Some people like to think they're super water-efficient doing the dishes, but they're not; dishwasher saves water.
- The only extra cost is electricity, but it's easily offset by the savings brought by cooking more often caused by the reduced hassle of doing the dishes. It's like 1-2 dollars of electricity per use (YMMV but it's that order of magnitude: less than a tenth of a dine out).
First Nations blessing is a bit of a gray area because they are not necessarily performed as a religious practice. Instead of a prayer, it’s interpreted (by those present) more like a First Nations representative formally acknowledging that the decisions about to be made are made with their participation.
It’s a cultural complexity that elders are often also seen as religious leaders and they’ll often speak in religious terms, but their blessing is foremost under the guise of a representative - not a cleric.
As for a regular Christian prayer… its sole purpose is a ritual for those in that religion.
