Bout time. Ticket master has been ruining venues and driving up ticket prices for years: https://www.cbs58.com/news/ticketmaster-accused-of-running-underground-ticket-scalping-project-to-drive-up-prices

GTA Online's latest event is called Bottom Dollar Bounties and focuses on letting players live that Dog the Bounty Hunter life in Los Santos, but it also adds the new Vinewood Club app to in-game phones.

This app "lets you easily request vehicles, claim all outstanding business safe earnings, and replenish ammo on your in-game phone." Collecting cash from your businesses in GTA Online has always been a bit of a pain, and being able to do it from your phone instead is obviously a massive improvement. The catch, of course, is that it's only available to GTA+ subscribers paying $8 a month (thanks, GamesRadar+).

Not everyday i agree with ISPs but here we are. Guilty of and accused of are two very different things. Innocent until proven guilty.

88 x 8TB drives? 704 TB of storage?

You got a whole damn data center lol. Good stuff dude. Was this off of ebay or direct from a company? I'm curious to know the total cost.

While I do want competition in the web space, its a good thing that Google could get told to stop doing stuff like this.

I dont want Mozilla to die of course but companies need to be held responsible for all the shit they pull. I'd imagine if Mozilla wasnt able to maintain firefox anymore it would fall to the open source community like they said in the article and I'd probably still use it.

No one company should own the internet.

My advice? Sounds like you could use some therapy. Genuinely therapy is really helpful for sorting out these issues.

You sound like you may be dealing with more than just burn out. Of course im not a medical professional and i dont know you well enough to really make any fair assessment but just talking things out with someone would likely be beneficial.

If you can't afford therapy, talking things out with a friend may help as well but as they wont be trained to deal with this, it may or may not be helpful. It can help but its not a replacement for professional help unfortunately. I speak from experience but ymmv.

I worked in CS so i know it sucks. I hope things get better for you.

I bought a dehumidifier off amazon that was "rated" for 800 sq ft.

Not only did it not live up to that promise, but it also served as the worlds shittiest ice maker. Ice formed on the radiator inside and stoped it from dehumidifying the air.

Thats right, you too can have a ice maker that makes ice in the shape of a radiator while ineffectively dehumidifying your home!

Best part was they reached out after I left a one star review and what they could do to change my rating.

I said "Nothing. Make a better product"

May i recommend just buying a small form factor pc and hooking it up to your tv instead?

Smart tvs and things like this suck anyways. Super slow and bloated with crap i dont need or want.

I don't believe it.

You mean to tell me that Microsoft is doing a bad job with thier OS???

Preposterous. These 100 or so processes that its running to track my every breath are incredibly important to make sure im given the best ad experience.

No company or entity should have the ability to sell my information. And at the very least not have access to it without my consent.

Especially if it influences how much I pay for insurance. Next thing you know, if you live near a McDonalds, your health insurance is gonna go up.

To lemmy I'd guess the numbers seem a lot bigger. But by reddits standards yea its a small percentage.

refuse to use the default reddit app so here I am. I miss rif but lemmy is filling the void at least.

The IPs alone are gold let alone the games they make. Pokemon imo has been subpar for a while and it still prints money. Yea i dont see them selling anytime soon.

Executive dysfunction is probably the worst part of having ADHD. That and having issues regulating emotions.

I can't just clean, theres so much to clean that cleaning is just an insurmountable task on top of all the other things that i have to do first to even BEGIN cleaning.

True but this also sets precedent for other cases which is an overall win. But i do wish the fines were bigger I agree with you there.

I can definitely say that I have enjoyed interacting with folks on Lemmy more than on reddit. Lemmy has felt like small subreddits even in the larger communities.

Every place on the internet is gonna have people that suck but the vast majority of my interactions here have been nice.

From what I've heard, most people that are for in office work like having the separation between work and home.

That being said, I think most folks want remote work or at least remote hybrid. It just makes more sense especially for me. I live far from my office (140 mile drive roundtrip), and working 3 days a week from home has been a god send.

Shocked i tell you. I am shocked.

No way an app would collect data it doesnt need. Preposterous.

Next thing you'll tell me is that tiktok is doing the same thing!

Iovance Biotherapeutics has priced the therapy, branded Amtagvi, at $515,000 per patient.

Well thank goodness these kind souls made it so affordable. And im sure it will come down in price after its really proven to be effective right?

I'm sure the RnD for this was expensive af but ffs man, even with insurance thats probably going to be out of reach for so many people.

I specifically buy easy dinner stuff while.im out shopping for the same reason. I spent an hour getting food so now imma take it easy and eat this mac and chicken strips from the deli.

You see it all the time.

Facebook became "Meta" ,Comcast became "Xfinity", and I'm sure theres plenty of other examples.

Well now im very jealous lol. Good for you man, thats a banger deal.

Before i was got on meds, i constantly had music playing in my head along with all the other thoughts that were trying to be heard.

1440p at 144hz is the ideal imo.

Great question that I dont have an answer for. Maybe one of the foundations that supports Linux development? This is just my hope though. No idea what it would really take to maintain Firefox at this point. Maybe if it was scaled down or something it'd be ok in the hands of just the open source community as a whole but I'm not well versed in programming or development so i dont know.

I gotta try and be optimistic about this kinda stuff because i forsee a future where Google just ruins more and more of the internet and i hate the thought of that.

Couple links i found with sources for the statistics. Owllabs is a common source between tem but i tried to find at least 2 sites with different sources.

Now that i get paid and dont hate my life i dont mind getting up early. Not ideal but yay money.

My education was a fucking joke and all the people who said that I'd miss highschool are wrong. Highschool and school in general was awful and i was very checked out for a large majority of it.

Idk if anyone else has this but i get a weird flow state where i read the subtitles and its like the characters are talking in english but i if think about it, it stops.

From what I can see just from a quick google, its in reference to a tiktok.

"What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?"

One of the women immediately answered in her Southern accent and laughed:

"Oh, you gotta give him that 'hawk tuah' and spit on that thing, you get me?"

Yikes. I mean i kinda get you wanna get paid for your work but at the same time id be way down for making 600k.

Hell id kill for 80k lmao

Story of my life.

Recently got diagnosed. Before I was, I had issues with my internet but also wanted to clean that day. So i decided id try and fix the internet and then clean.

I started at 2 pm and ended at 8 pm. I did not clean.

Does anyone else kinda like being tech support for friends and family?

Idk maybe its just me but I like helping them even when it is kinda frustrating. Its satisfying to fix an issue and I like making them happy.

Oh so its not just me who thinks its gotten worse then. I was starting to go a little crazy man. It seems like its slowly gottwn worse over time. I wonder if its due to the amount of ai content messing up seo ratings or something

Now thats something I'd slap on my resume. Hope you get a bonus or something for saving your company money cause it'd be well deserved.

imo dual booting is kinda clunky. Id rather have a vm of windows tbh. I dont like restarting my pc to swtich OS.

But hey if you like it, more power to you man.

Oh boy the ADHD is strong with this one.

Yea before meds, hyper focus usually came in small bursts but there was a whole 2 weeks and i do literally mean 2 weeks where i spent every waking moment trying to make a jellyfin server work. I worked night shift security at the time so it was wake up, work on the servwr before work, go to work, look up docs and videos, go home, sleep, rinse, repeat for two weeks straight.

I was new to Linux (and still am) so it took me so fucking long and i ended up doing it on windows in the end anyways. But yea after doing almost nothing else for two weeks, i was a liiiiittle burnt out.

My advice if you wanna play with tech but dont wanna spend the scratch, ask friends or family if they have old laptops or pcs they dont want and use those. Ive gotten 5 laptops this way.

Or ebay and other marketplace sites. Old hardware is still fun.

Yea I'd say its gonna be a while befote the idea of federated social media really takes off. I think one of the bigger reasons is just ease of use.

The federation aspect of this is kinda confusing when your first hear about and most users just want an easy experience.

Now you can say "oh just join lemmy.world and be done with it" but then comes another issue. Which is "wheres my account in this other instance?" Its not there. And it wont be there until porting accounts becomes a more integrated part of Lemmy and other federated socail medias.

I think those are the biggest things holding it back for now. I think it will catch on as more and more folks become more aware of (and care about) corporations like facebook(meta) or reddit don't care what you think and will walk all over you for a quick buck.

Oh yea, I've used this before and still do. But this only works to a point and for me, being medicated was my best option.

My first session with my pysch, she said it sounds like youre already doing everything i would normally recommend before prescribing medication so i think we should try meds.

Not that these kinds of things dont help, just sometimes needs to be paired with meds as well.
