This is the most British thing I've ever heard.

And Amazon wins, because that's exactly what the S-Team wants.

Did she ask to speak to Ohio's manager?

Take a look at modern Cable for some ideas. How about "commercial breaks" every 10 mins? Why not some "premium content" you have to pay extra for on top of your subscription e.g. want to watch Stranger Things? Sorry that's not included, you'll have to pay $7.99 extra per month.

Things will regress to the mean until someone else comes along and disrupts streaming, just like streaming did to cable. And then when everyone moves, that option will start getting shitty.

Is this also a means to push more people to log into their google accounts when on YouTube?

Clearly yes. There's definitely some project manager at YouTube whose "KPI" is "logged in view hours" or something similar, since that's where the targeted ad revenue comes from. They are doing everything they can to game that number to get a raise/promoted, and this is an easy way to bump the number in the short term.

I'm guessing it might also be an attmept to simplify some legacy logic in YouTube. Having to maintain two ways to track people that can both seamlessly feed into the recommendation generator is probably a lot of extra work, and its cheaper for them to axe the one that makes less ad revenue.

Arranging the juliennes was the longest part by far, probably took about 5-10 mins to do the arrangement of the prepared vegetables. Arranging everything else only took about 1-2 minutes, quick since I keep my sauces in squeeze bottles.

To actually serve this during a meal you'd probably have to arrange the juliennes on a sheet tray earlier in the day and then just spatula them onto the plates during service.

I literally ate some tortilla chips as soon as I finished it lol. This would probably work better as a single plate in a multi-course tasting menu. I just made it for fun.

I had to take today & tomorrow off because I hit my vacation cap at work and would lose my days if I didn't.

Opened the internet this morning & saw that the BG3 release date is today.

Well. I now know what I'm doing with my next 4 days. Game is currently downloading on my PC.

As tough as it was for your manager to lose you, you probably also did them a favor by giving them ammo they can use to fight for future employees. Now they can point to your departure next time they're arguing for a raise for another teammmate.

Have you ever served on a jury? I have, and my comment was based on my experience. It has nothing to do with being "right" or "healthy" lol. Its what happened to me in real life.

There's a reason why so many lawsuits end in a settlement instead of a jury trial. We all want to believe every trial is like 12 Angry Men, but the reality is that a "jury of your peers" is made up of the general public (ever looked around on a public bus?), so at the end of the day jury trial is basically a coin flip.

Same thing here. If it goes to trial, the outcome is going to basically be random.

The story behind this is that Goodreads is actually owned by Amazon. They acquired it a long time ago hoping to use it as a way to drive book sales. The tl;dr is that it didn't work, Goodreads never made money, and over the past 2-3 years Amazon has slashed its budget.

The site is now run by a skeleton crew that aren't enough people to even keep the basics running. Amazon is happy to watch it wither and die, its cheaper than shutting it down.

Why try to make enemies? I'm the kind of person you're talking about and I've absolutely pushed back and even left jobs over ethical issues.

No need to stereotype and create artificial divisions. We're on the same side.

Its a feature not a bug. They can stay in their corporate containment hellhole far away from the awesome communities on Lemmy.

Yeah, most likely your ISP will just stop you. Home internet plans in the US today almost all disallow using the service for public hosting.

No doubt this is slimy, but does it make Amazon a monopoly? It seems like a tough case for the FTC to win.

Nearly a quarter of Americans say that a strong leader who doesn’t have to bother with Congress or elections would be “fairly” or “very good” and 18 percent say that “army rule” would be “fairly” or “very good.” More than a quarter of respondents show at least some support for either a “strong leader” or “army rule.”

A disturbing minority of human beings unironically prefer being under a boot.

Code is like a set of Lego pieces you put together to make an app or website. Usually, you have to go to Windows' house to play with Windows Legos, and you can't play with Windows Legos at iOS's house. If you tried to put a Windows Lego on an iOS Lego, they wouldn't fit. This means that if you want to make something with Legos, you have to do it in their house and play by their rules.

Website Legos are special. You can play with Website Legos at the public library, and any other kids who go to the library - a public place that's always open to everyone - can play with Website Legos too. Even Windows and iOS can come to the library and play with Website Legos. No one gets to decide what Legos are allowed or who gets to play with them, and kids can build things together because their Legos fit together.

What Chrome is doing is bad because they want to take all the Website Legos back to their house, and force every kid in town to come to their house if they want to play with Legos. That way, Chrome gets to decide who is allowed inside, and can ban any Lego shapes they don't like from their house.

We need to stop Chrome, because every kid deserves to play with Legos, and kids make much cooler things when they can all work together with a shared Lego set.

I love you

He didn't mean anything at all. That was the brilliance of the Nazi propaganda machine. They stole words that referred to popular things and said them enough times in relation to themselves that they lost all meaning.

Its exactly the same as how the modern day right wing say anything that supports them is "patriotic" and anything that doesn't is "anti-[country]". If they say the word "patriotic" enough times, it loses all meaning & makes it impossible for opponents to argue against, because you can't have a rational debate when language is meaningless.
