Honestly as big of a piece of shit as bezos is, he's ten times better then musk

While I don't disagree on character level, I think what bezos has done with amazon is probably much worse for the climate than anything Musk has done.

Amazon really enabled consumerism on steroids, where people buy tons and tons of goods often not because of real needs but because corporations through ads and influencers have talked them into wanting the new shiny stuff. These goods are produced cheaply and with little regard for the environment (or for the people producing them), in some poor asian country and then shipped half way around the planet, often even sent by air mail just because people lack self control and "need" to have their order in the mail immediately. And then, be it because it was an impulse purchase or because of cheap construction or the thing not being hip and new anymore, the stuff goes to a landfill after only months or a few years of use, wasting tons of resourses and energy consumed in prodiction and turning into a burden on the environment again.

All that is not to say Musk is somehow not as bad, but to say they are both equally very bad people, just for different reasons

I mean, apart from the whole "shouldn't have taken the car in the first place" thing, if you are stuck in a traffic jam for 7 hours, surely it's moving slow enough that you can get out of the car and look for water & a restroom somewhere in walking distance, as long as one person stays to move the car if necessary?

$1 million-a-head dinner

I can't even imagine what that would look like. Surely the ingredients can't be that expensive? And while cooks and staff probably are paid very well, are they gonna spend so much time on a single dinner to warrant that price?

Probably also a factor is that you would be spinning up a whole production line and automation systems for phones that will only be in production for 12 to 18 months, after which you'd have to adapt or redo everything for the new model.

That may be but if they would shorten "female soldier", wouldn't they refer to her as "a soldier" and not "a female"?

Seeing how similar this interface looks in all the examples makes me think this is not something the airlines did come up with themselves, but rather might be a something offered by a third party that they implement in their booking process.

I.e. not only milking the customer as much as possible by having them bid instead of fixed price upgrades, but maybe even having a third party taking a fee or commission, which will ultimately be passed on to the customer through higher prices.

This is just speculation though. Does anyone have insight into this?

Meine Strategie: ordentlich Nasenspray reinballern der die Symptome von beidem unterdrückt

ad hoc affogato

Now I'm curious what the difference is between ad hoc and non ad hoc affogato, because pouring hot coffee over ice cream sounds like a standard affogato to me

I use Thunder.

I love that there are so many different apps available for such a comparatively small platform as Lemmy. So many flavours to chose from :)

There are already some: Eurofighter, Saab Gripen, Dassault Rafale.

Although I remember a news story from like 7 years ago, where Austrias new Eurofighter jets couldn't fly because they did not receive the GPS license from the US in time... So still dependent on the US, even for "domestic" jets, though that problem could probably be solved

He's currently working quite hard on making that dystopia future a reality unfortunately...

The first 6 years of Firefox were done without telemetry and after it was implemented it was opt-in for a while.

While I see the use of telemetry for development purposes, I would not call it aridiculous thing to not want

I think this is a reasonable explanation.

But I also believe a large part of the firefox user base does not want any data about them collected by their browser, no matter if it is for commercial purposes or simply analytics / telemetry. Which is why the original statement "we will never sell any of your data" was just good enough for them, and anything mozilla is now saying is basically not good enough, no matter how much they clarify it to mean "not selling in the colloquial sense"

Easy, the real Donny wouldn't know what Pierogi are, unless McDonalds has them on their menu now...

I honestly can't believe we are in a situation where the US conservatives are cozying up to Russia and Nazi Ideology of all things. And they expect help for Ukraine to be nothing more than a business deal type loan with immediate financial return instead of political goodwill from what it sounds like

The trim piece may not be the only part of the truck that is effectively secured only with adhesive: Tomasko says he believes other components, including the truck's quarter panels, also seem to be held on this way,

Ah yes, the "stainless steel exo skeleton"... it's just glued on, after all

Oh absolutely. At this point I'm not surprised anymore that they turned to shit, it's more like I think they've hit rock bottom already but they manage to surprise me with new ways to dig their hole even deeper.

So I thought this is never going to fly under GDPR. Then the article goes on to say:

Many privacy laws, including the EU’s GDPR and California’s CCPA, require user consent for tracking. However, because fingerprinting works without explicit storage of user data on a device, companies may argue that existing laws do not apply which creates a legal gray area that benefits advertisers over consumers.

Oh come on Google, seriously? I remember a time when Google were the good guys, can't believe how they've changed...

Never tried it myself, but there is this: Vimium addon for Firefox

This is a great analogy for anectotal evidence ("I had a great time") vs empirical evidence (millions died, i.e. did not have a great time)

Well, at least that will make him tougher and less likey to be eaten.
