Wait - you can get 1tb for £2 there?

I wouldn't mind as much if it was that price.

It stems from companies being too cheap to get people work phones, but still wanting them to be available

git was created because a proprietary VCS was being a dick

I assume that's how SCP-3008 was created

I was looking at a grocery receipt, and there are three different tax rates depending on the items. The receipt doesn't even specify which items are taxed at which rate - just the total at each percentage.

I understand the goal of lower or higher taxes on groceries is to incentivize purchasing healthier options over more processed foods, but does it really affect purchasing decisions when the final price of the items is opaque to the consumer?

Silverblue vs uBlue (lemmy.world)

I’m considering trying out an immutable distro after using Tumbleweed for the last 6 years.

The two major options for me seem to be Fedora Kinoite or uBlue Aurora-dx

My understanding is that universal-blue is a downstream of Fedora Atomic

So, the points in favor of Kinoite is sticking closer to upstream, however it seems like I would need to layer quite a few packages. My understanding is that this is discouraged in an rpm-ostree setup, particularly due to update time and possible mismatches with RPMFusion

uBlue Aurora-dx seems to include a lot of the additional support I’d need - ROCm, distrobox, virt-manager, libratbag, media codecs, etc. however I’m unclear how mature the project is and whether it will be updated in a timely manner long term

I’m curious what the community thinks between the two as a viable option

Not that it’s better, but it’s not new

I did something similar as a kid in the 90’s at a papa johns

The comment over on hackaday pointing to it being bricked possibly being down to font licensing is funny if true

The one they use at my work is extra silly, as it adds an extra email header saying it’s coming from a phishing campaign

There’s assembly and makefiles too

Less of a joke answer, there has been work to allow Rust bindings for drivers.

Any idea how this demand is different from the current state of Android?

Under Epic's terms, any app downloaded from anywhere would operate identically to apps downloaded from Google Play, without Google imposing any unnecessary distribution fees.

Last time I used it, I downloaded all my apps through F-Droid, and I didn’t think they were paying Google anything?

App-based is also unacceptable if it’s a proprietary implementation

TOTP/HOTP are the best standards right now

Yeah, just the American version

It affects where you can rent housing, what houses you can buy, whether you can get a car, etc

Do people ever avoid hospital visits

At least in my experience, we’ll generally be able to go to the hospital

Do hospitals put people on a payment plan

Generally, I’ve just seen the debt transferred to a debt collection agency afterwards, since there’s no money for them to take. They’ll harass you, and it affects your credit score, but they can’t send you to jail
