It's possible that the schoo's group plan had some very expensive people on it, so the cost you were paying then was subsidizing them. Now your individual plan is more appropriate for your health status.

There is probably a lot of truth to this. Nobody wants to be in the middle of whatever would become of that situation.

I have some mixed feelings about doing this for some creators. Blocking sponsors and all the ads from some creators takes more from creators than it does from Google, right? Isn't it the potential monetization that drives many YouTubers to keep creating content? And won't some give up with no financial support?

Are some of you guys blocking all the ads but subscribing to their Patreon?

There are fewer people at Lemmy who only exist to blast threads with tired old jokes and memes so there is room for well thought-out comments to get more visibility.

I come here for discussions and so far most of the posts seem to welcome it, leading to more desire to engage.

Why do people get hostile when they are showed a video of themselves moving items to the bag without scanning the item? Why not just accept your fate at this point and pay or give the goods back?

This leads me to think about how Walmart's focus on cheap low quality goods with stores placed in areas where finances are often tight has created this "I want it but can't afford it" despair.

You walk into this soul-less, hyper efficient box store and it's easy to notice they have a lot of stuff but not a lot of staff. And the staff are not exactly motivated to care about theft.

It's not a long shot to start to think it would be easy to get away with grabbing something, because perhaps Walmart is an easy target. But the efficiency of the place is where that mistake falls short.

The truth is, there are very few businesses with as sophisticated an anti-theft system. Walmart is dealing with petty theft on a global scale and understands exactly how much it costs them, especially if they are perceived as an easy target.

Walmart has the technology to wait until the number of thefts from a single person exceeds the local felony levels and only then press charges. It's a trap, and ripping off Walmart is a lot less profitable than it might seem.

Been a Keepass user for years and years. Absolutely top notch. There are plugins that can auto fill websites, that can open putty ssh sessions, basically everything you can imagine (or build).

The IRS agent who worked up this case is either going to be up for a few days of extra vacation time or perhaps a job at Microsoft.

It's the volume of junkmail that makes the economy of scale work such that is cheap enough to... send junkmail

I hope it involved a bucket of ice, or spiders.

I've not used any alarm at all for the past 20 years. It's amazing. I just automatically wake up at the same time every day. And go to sleep about the same time every day.

Adjust your life so you can do this, if you can.

Ad blockers are an existential threat to Google. They are - at the core - an ad company.

And nothing was lost...

Exactly

The video shows someone from the skydiving center removing the parachute from the scene, but doesn't make it clear if that's before or after the paramedics clear the scene.

A bit strange if somebody came to take the parachute but left the guy in the yard.

This is gut wrenching.

I use minidlna, qbittorrent, qbittorrent-nox on a very old raspberry pi. A 4tb USB hard drive is attached via a powered hub. I can stream 4k Atmos using vlc installed on my "smart" tv. Can't it be this simple? What's the reason to dive into docker and plex?

I like that

100c and 100K = dead but for different reasons

Not enough degrees of separation

A Microsoft lawyer could definitely argue in front of a judge that they not only don't block it, they actually have a public guide on how to do it. Which may knock down an opposing argument a notch or two.

This is a thing about huge companies. They can only ignore alternatives at their own peril.

The Windows team probably prefers you don't ever install Linux even though they wised up and created WSL (so they don't lose developers to Linux desktop the way they lost creative designers to Mac).

The other teams? VSCode, Office 365, Azure, GitHub, Bing, Skype, etc wisely DGAF what your OS is - just that it's supported so you can use it.
