Can you explain what you mean by the 2nd paragraph? Could that put him in legal trouble for the motion his lawyers filed to the court that claimed it was "impossible" for him to secure enough cash to cover bond?

But the Mozilla corporation is so shady! /s 🙄

.world defedirated from this community so .ml and hexbear trolls are looking to capitalize on that.

My favorite part was how PPI reversed inflation every month from Feb 2023 onward, but CPI only continued to show positive inflation. 😃

...or zoom out and see the hypothetical scenarios I listed as exactly that. Hypothetical scenarios. You can sit and nitpick probably about half, but I came up with all of those things in about 4 minutes. You're not getting down voted because this is Lemmy and corporations=bad or whatever. Corporations and their executives making way too much money tax-free is the popular opinion world wide. If they're billionaires after a 45% tax rate, then holy shit! Good for you CEO! But that's not what is happening. They're making billions and paying 0% on it because they're investing it and borrowing money from banks against their company. That's why the democratic party has won the popular vote for decades. Everyone is able to see this and are tired of getting fucked by the wealthy and Reaganomics. The middle class is paying 13% on $40K while Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are paying less in total taxes while earning multiple billions. I shouldn't have to forgo a $250 tv in order to invest for retirement. Quality of life should be rising along with technology. There was a point at which interior lighting and electricity was a luxury and wasn't necessary for daily life. Should that mean that I should be expected to go without in order to invest? No, it became a public necessity due to it's net benefit to society. There's a huge benefit to society each being able to turn on the news/sitcoms/movies in their own house. It allows children to see the outside world and become familiar with pop culture, noteworthy news, documentaries etc. It isn't just an entertainment box that melts your brain and destroys your cornea...

Let's entertain your deck criticism for the fun of it, what happens when you have a few friends over? You're standing on the deck grilling for everyone and the railing someone is leaning against breaks and they fracture their leg? Sure you could have repaired the deck, but you chose to save a few hundred dollars. Now your friend has a hospital bill for $40,000 because he needed reconstructive surgery for a displaced fracture. He doesn't have the money and would lose his house if he goes into medical debt, so he has to file a claim against your home owners insurance. They tell him to scram because it's YOUR fault the deck was falling into disrepair. You're expected to keep up with the maintenance of your house. Now he's forced to sue YOU for the money. So do you spend the $1000 to repair your deck or do you risk someone getting injured on your property because you don't have an "emergency fund" and Jim Cramer told you the only way to get rich is by investing and letting your money work for you.

That's the point. Financial security is extraordinarily tough to come by so people can't set aside the money for an emergency fund and invest. It's not just poor budgeting, everything is getting more expensive for the middle class. Five years ago, my fiancee and I could buy 2 weeks of groceries for $100 at Aldi. Its doubled in that 5 years. Ironically, the most stable consumer good in the last 5 years has been gas and republicans bitch about that too.

Broken phone, hot water heater, HVAC, fridge, washer, dryer, toilet, stove, oven, microwave, tv, personal computer, new shoes, new clothes, friend is getting married, friend is having a baby, the car needs a new set of tires, the car was rear ended, windshield was shattered by a rock that kicked up off the road on my way to work, need a new lawnmower cause the second hand Toro mower's gas powered engine is shot, property taxes went up because home values went up, kids got sick and went to the doctor, dentist appointment found a cavity, accidentally sat on your glasses, suit doesn't fit anymore and you have a funeral to attend, older windows on your house built in the 90's are starting to go bad, storm damage to your out of warranty roof, deck needs to be rebuilt because the old wood is starting to dry rot, time to replace the bed(I know you're supposed to replace them every 8 years, but you went ahead and stretched 15 out of this one because you're frugal).....must I continue?

I'm not sure what the difference is in this headline versus the one i made the exact same argument in, but i was down voted for it like 3-4 months ago. I wonder what changed everyone's mind.

I already have my own router connected to it, but I'm a very amateur networker. I taught myself pretty much everything I know through tutorials and blog posts. As far as my knowledge extends, there's no way to open public facing ports through the T-Mobile firewall.

My current workaround is just hosting it on my parent's network and using SCP to transfer my linux ISOs to the server. (Which...sidenote...why were we never taught anything about the SCP command in any computer courses in school?)

I run a Jellyfin server on my SBC. Mine happens to be a Le Potato

This is just conjecture from experience, but I would guess that hot is a weighted sort that shows posts in order of upvotes per unit time. While top is net total of upvotes in a determined time period.

If only wire shielding and stress relief was a thing that existed...
