I didn't know until today that you could opt out of it

When I apply for jobs now, I paste the job description at the bottom of my resume in 2pt white text

Omg please tell me when you do, I'm running Mint on my laptop but want to migrate my desktop over soon which has multiple displays

I get it. I basically have to browse on the everything tab to get enough content, and just block the politics communities because I get enough of that from everywhere else in life. I've been using the lack of content to just ween myself off social media though, rather than go back to Reddit. This is the only "social media app" I have installed on my phone unless you count Discord and YouTube

They have a similar partnership with Fedora

That's a thing? Definitely going to look into this

I'm testing out Linux on my laptop, October 13 my desktop moves over too.

I'm reading Jason Scheier's book about Blizzard and it specifically says that subscriptions were already the norm for MMOs. In fact, battle.net was revolutionary at the time because it was free while a lot of contemporary systems charged by the hour

Where can I get death certified? Does CompTIA offer it?

Delisting has never meant it is removed from your library for a paid game, in my memory. Just means you can't buy it anymore

Lol our standup+parking lot is scheduled for an hour. Kill me.

I thought Amazon Music was a small up-charge on top of prime?

TIL I can use my stock as collateral in a mortgage

Ultra net worth individuals, especially ones like Jeff Bezos with a lot of his net worth tied up in one company, can take a personal loan using his stock as collateral to keep up his lifestyle without needing to sell (and be taxed on) anything. It's only really available for the 1%

Ken Bone was from 2016 I believe

Is this also on WhatsApp? I got all the other Meta junk off my phone except that, since I need it for some family abroad

End of an era :(

This is an interesting perspective, thank you. I definitely learned where Live Nation was getting most of their profits from when the water fountains were hidden on the other side from the food and drink vendors, and wanted $8 for a bottle of water (or $16 for a PBR!)

I do think that part of the Ticketmaster hate is them being the bad guy for the venues or artists with the prices etc, but they can definitely be doing more. My main issue is that venues can either exclusively use Ticketmaster or not at all, and all the hidden fees. Granted, if the artist chooses "all-lin" pricing it includes the fees, but it feels manipulative that I have to mentally add 30% to the price of tickets when I'm looking.

Most things are fine in moderation, demonizing everything you like is how you get miserable and crave them more

The town my parents live in would rather pay fines every year than build the state mandated amount of affordable housing and risk, gasp, lowering property values!
