Might be a case where Canadian applicants submit another form that has the relevant information in a different format too.

That’s not Amazon’s fault.

That’s mostly the fault of consumers who buy from Amazon (and other e-tailors).

There’s quite a few retail stores that don’t keep inventory, even for common things. Staples comes to mind, where it feels like half their damn office items aren’t in stock, so you need to wait for them to have it brought in.

The problem is that those same retail stores can’t compete with Amazon’s shipping speed. It becomes a case of:

• I want to buy a thing, I need it fast, so I guess I’ll check my local retails stores
• My local retail stores don’t have it in stock, but I can order it and it’ll be there in 4-5 days
• I can just buy it off of Amazon at a comparable price, and have it tomorrow

It’s alright if they don’t want to carry inventory, but they need to have the shipping speeds to compete, otherwise there’s no reason for the consumer not to just buy it off of Amazon directly.

Do you think it takes a brilliant mind to come up with that basic-ass mob bullshit?

I feel like you’re misunderstanding what I’m saying in, like, an extreme way.

I’m absolutely not saying that Elon is some kind of mastermind. But there are people who legitimately are buying his bullshit. I’m explicitly pointing out that it is bullshit, and that the dude did not “just make a dumb joke without realizing the implications”.

You’re talking about two different things here.

I’m really not. This very thread is full of comments acting like Elon is a moron for making his stupid “joke”, literally playing into his hand. As @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world said, he’s doing the “turbulent priest” thing.

I still don’t understand how anyone here (or on the internet in general, for that matter) is still asking “Is Elon stupid? Is he a moron?” in response to stuff like this.

Elon’s a jackass, but he clearly knows what he’s doing with this. He’s inciting political violence and then acting like it was an edgy joke as a way to give himself probable deniability. Dude’s an asshole, but he’s not literally brain dead.

I was having this discussion with a coworker after Apple’s event where they talked about their image scanning AI. Like, if someone takes a picture of me, and sends it to the AI’s servers, they’ll use it as training data, but I haven’t consented to it. So how does taking it down work?

It’s obviously a rhetorical question. They obviously won’t, and they’ll tell me to pound sand.

In this case, it seems like it’s the app makers themselves who are requiring the Play Store, though. Unless I’m misreading this, the developers are using the Integrity API to determine if the app was installed through “official channels” (in this case, the Play Store). Feels like people should be upset at the companies behind the apps, here.

The litter box thing annoys me so much. Like, do you have any idea how quickly that shit would fucking go viral if it were true? Like, every damn kid would post about it online. It’s so fucking stupid!

Keep in my that “ingredients to a recipe” here refers to the literal physical ingredients, based on the context of the OP (where a sandwich shop owner can’t afford to pay for their cheese).

While you can’t copyright a recipe, you can patent the ingredients themselves, especially if you had a hand in doing R&D to create it. See PepsiCo sues four Indian farmers for using its patented Lay’s potatoes.

Let’s be honest, most of Reddit’s default subreddits (or whatever the fuck they’re called now) are basically just karma farms with no real moderation beyond removing extreme content. The real value of Reddit has always been in its smaller, niche subs. But as those grow in popularity, they end up having the same problems as bigger subs.

I think “common” here would refer to having to produce them, over the actual explicitness of the scene. Whether Mass Effect fades to black or not isn’t really the point when the voice actors still have to record the lines that play while the screen is dark.

Yeah, what they’re asking for is pretty standard stuff in other media. A friend of mine is an actor who played a scene where he had to shoot a masturbation scene. He was alone in a room with like 3-4 people: sound guy, camera guy, director, and I think the intimacy coach was there too.

Having a whole team watch you pretend to have sex is not okay, what the hell.

Wake me up when the “Congress” actually decides to take actions not just ask “questions” after the damage is done and money is made.

Right. Into Cryo-Sleep you go, then!

Same. Elden Ring’s biggest weakness is its open world, in my opinion. It makes the first playthrough great, but it makes subsequent playthroughs a chore. Especially when you’re aware that 90% of dungeons/side areas have completely worthless gear and runes. Your subsequent runs just end up being you riding Torrent for long stretches of time from point A to point B.

If your comic is rated mature, or if the user is using a known VPN IP address, Webtoons will require a login.

Depends on the features.

Git has some counterintuitive commands for some commands you may want to do when you want to quickly do something. Being able to click a button and have the IDE remember the syntax for you is nice.

Some IDEs have extra non-native Git features like have inlined “git blame” outputs as you edit (easily see a commit message per-line, see who changed what, etc.), better diff/merge tooling (JetBrain’s merge tool comes to mind), being able to revert parts of the file instead of the whole file, etc.

the git integration in vscode which I discarded after few attempts to use

I’m going to be honest, I don’t really like VS Code’s Git integration either. I find it clunky and opinionated with shitty opinions.

There’s also the Hollywood celebrities episode. Tom Cruise is canonically in space in South Park. You just wouldn’t really know why unless you saw the banned episodes.

Yeah. I legally owned most of the seasons of South Park. Then their parent company was sold to whoever owns Paramount+ and I can’t legally buy seasons anymore. I have to subscribe to Paramount+ instead. I’m just gonna pirate that shit.

While I agree with most of what you’re saying, it’s also stupid to blame Microsoft for breaking your computer if you forcefully uninstall the Windows store, despite the fact that it’s needed for parts of certain updates.

A lot of the “debloaters” have no fucking idea what they’re actually doing and are uninstalling/disabling critical parts of the OS so the task manager shows less RAM usage (because God forbid you actually use your damn RAM).

You don’t find it at all suspicious that they claim releasing backend code would make it less secure? What kind of security product is not open for inspection?

No, because Proton has 3rd party audits all the time and they share the results openly.
