never underestimate the sunk cost fallacy, especially when it comes to any “public” embarrassment

why not boycott all major corporations every day? it does require a bit of work, but the more money you spend locally, the better your local communities will be

yeah sure, just be sure to note that WiFi is creepy beyond imagination (and is proposed to keep getting worse)

so you might have been grifted, but your actions affect other people. your car is a spy mobile that sucks up innocent bystanders’ data without their consent. and yeah, maybe do research before supporting a company, like how Cocacola did business with Hitler - but even that ignorant at best $2 purchase doesn’t negatively affect everyone else to the extent your car does

whoa, cool!

totally, thanks for tip on Sony. I find the older stuff to be built better so I don’t mind repairing them

really into freestyle polka on my portable cassette player these days. you?

ahh yeah. I do spend most of my time off line and that’s one reason I don’t want to use streaming services

very interesting, thanks for sharing

yeah that’s a good advice. curious, where would the “lie” be?

average citizens need hardened phones and basic security tips like restarting phones before letting anyone use them or how to factory reset a device

no good. beyond using a VPN and dnssec, how can end users protect themselves from this?

so a more accurate way of phrasing this would be, “taxes and fees are 400% more than the flight”

no. physical currencies have a more complex formula on a good “cost vs use” ratio. it’s usually many years of use to justify spending any amount of resources on a physical currency, otherwise the currency would collapse under its own weight of having to create itself

sorry, was assuming this was broader than just federal. thanks for clarifying

a nickel (0.05$) costs 14 pennies (0.14$) to make

do you think would influence developers to make their projects open source, with more leaning towards copy left licenses? they won’t make much money off the code alone anyways, so might as well try to make others not profit either

I’m so happy this is back! can’t wait to build a watch

certain states banned them. this would federally make it illegal to ban them at the state level, as far as I understand. you know, states’ rights and all

finally some good fucking news
