  • Hmm, it's almost like we should focus considerably more on simple vehicles instead of complex subscription shit boxes that we have, to cut down cost of manufacturing/materials/parts/labour and now insurance...no big money in that though.

    Or you know ...public transport is also pretty damn good option over any of this. Something drastic would have to change for trains/buses/etc to become commonplace in NA though, at least in some EU countries and a few other countries in the world there's a bit of hope.

  • If you used a script and it worked first time, and you haven't already checked that the script didn't toggle itself off, I'd start with that. Always had that thing happen to me with a custom script I added to VLC and had to remember to toggle it each time I started VLC

  • Who needs glue, if you're hellbent on keeping it, stick the plastic back in and figure out a good place to put a screw/nail through and file it down if it goes out the other end.

    If it breaks again you'll most likely be forced to completely replace it though, which is a good thing as it will mean didn't deserve the second life you've given it.

  • Oh, I'm not denying that they are greedy assholes. But at the same time I feel like we're in that comic, they saw an terrible opportunity, implemented this shit and were like "no way anyone is going to fall for that", and "we" allowed them to like "we" seem to do with many other terrible things in this world, and here we are with them laughing away at "our" stupidity.

    There seem to be just enough dumb people around to enable assholes like this to exist, which I find sad and disturbing. It's almost like there is a reason certain groups want people to stay dumb and ban books, ban those who are different from learning etc

    Couple of other things about the print stuff; I seriously doubt this even needs to profitable for them in the short term (it likely is), so unless it's dead on arrival, the longer it keeps going, the more chances this will be the only available solution....perhaps a last ditch effort to milk us dry before printing dies?

    And for anyone who comes across this in the future, at best you're paying 10x per page compared to what medium size business did many years ago, and no you're not even getting a real service.

  • FWIW we have dumb business owners to thank for that.

    They've been doing this with the Indigo's for 8+ years that I'm aware of, so probably much longer. And ofc businesses fell for it because just like most cloud shit, nobody can be bothered to calculate actual costs, just fudge stuff and get your bonus/pay rise for pretending to have done something beneficial.

  • How do you find anything useful on LinkedIn? (Serious question) Filtering on location with few of and/NOT search terms doesn't yield many results. Their suggested jobs are irrelevant crap riddled with 95% repeating promoted crap that you can dismiss but your dismiss gets ignored.

    I use indeed and it's been steadily getting to the same point as LinkedIn where they repeat promoted shit, ignore filters you setup and just straight up serve useless garbage irrelevant to search terms.

    Tried monster and zip recruiter couple of times, it was never better than any of the above so I didn't bother continuing to try.

  • Had an achilles injury long ago, along with some other issues and I overpronate - I found brooks adrenaline to be reasonably comfortable for the price (got 3 pairs for like 71 USD each on offer) though glycerin were more comfortable for walking (never seen hem on offer so far) due to extra cushion.

    Worth a try in shop if you see them and are neutral walker/overpronator

  • Nice, thanks. I generally tried to avoid tapping users/community but it's good to know it had purpose for my use. Appreciate it....guess I'll donate some more of my "imaginary" Google wallet rewards fund whatever the fuck it's called that I can't use for anything but apps anyways 🤣

  • I posted that I liked voyager, though it's missing some features that are in sync (most importantly to me, being able to block community without visiting it) may have been me I guess?

    I don't care for the formatting stuff, I rarely post, but thunder has the above mentioned so that's nice. What I instantly hated about thunder after trying it just now was that I can't scroll back up a feed without it jumping posts in a weird way. Not entirely sure what the problem is but it's very distracting.

    I'll try put thunder for a bit, guess I'll just need to show funny stuff to my wife as soon as I see it rather than trying to scroll back up to it, until I can figure out why it's doing it or it gets resolved with an update.

    Edit: well that's bizarre, just opened thunder again after posting this from voyager and I'm not getting the scroll backup issue.

  • I've stuck with sync since July or whenever it was released and got the $20 adremoval thing. Switched to voyager about a month back now and, inspite of missing a few nice to have features, I now wish I had spent the money donating to them instead.

    I might keep an eye of sync updates, but it's a bit of joke at this point.

  • I used my Google rewards credit to remove ads in Sync, because I ain't paying for that shit and they would have expired anyway.

    As long as you go out every now and then (to shops or next to shops) and consistently answer the rewards stuff (doesn't need to be true it seems, just consistent) then you'll eventually be in the same boat as me and probably many others where you'll eventually have nothing to spend the rewards on as you'll have bought all the apps you need and will ditch the rewards in the end.

    Still watched and liked MASH in my country in 90s as a kid (although not my choice) enough to introduce my wife to it a year ago and she enjoyed it too, having never heard of it. No clue what the other 2 things even are.
