Because the price on the menu then appears lower than what the customer actually pays. It's completely misleading.

except Sci-hub hasn't been adding new papers since 2020. Anna's Archive is a better bet, because they aggregate both sci-hub and libgen, among others. They also make torrents available for data hoarders.

Are you applying to work for petulant teenagers?

Yeah, but they were testing the waters with this one. The hydra's going to grow another head eventually. It'll be interesting to see how/if the media integrity API gets leveraged in the Android Chrome browser. They're eventually going to attack this problem from a slightly different angle.

What is the second browser from the bottom on the right?

True. But it still amounts to them refusing to sell his audio. If you want to be pedantic, Amazon doesn't sell ebooks or audiobooks at all. They sell licenses to access the content. You can argue that Doctorow should be saying that he refuses to market his content in accordance with their policies. But I'm in favor of him framing it this way. It underscores who the real shitheels are here.

Read the check, it's not an auto-gratuity. The gratuity is still expected. This is a service charge. A service charge that is likely not listed on the menu. It's bullshit. Raise the price of the food and don't hide costs that you are charging the customer.

The Cheap Detective (1978) by Neil Simon with Peter Falk. Laugh out loud funny. I love Falk in comic roles. I thought The Cheap Detective was much better than Murder by Death (1976), but I seem to be in the minority there.

They've moved on to specific platforms, not open standards. Ultimately, that's not a good thing. Like when Twitter effectively replaced RSS for a lot of use cases.

except Sci-hub hasn’t been adding new papers since 2020. Anna’s Archive is a better bet, because they aggregate both sci-hub and libgen, among others. They also make torrents available for data hoarders. Their torrents total over 600 TB at this point, but include books in addition to articles.

Check out Darknet Diaries. High production, in-depth stories on hacking and cyber security. Good for tech-heads and non-tech-heads

Based on Behind The Bastards, check out Knowledge Fight. Dan and Jordan have co-hosted on BtB. They track Alex Jones and Infowars. They're funny and delightful.

Based on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me, check out The Unbelievable Truth. Hosted by David Mitchell on BBC Radio 4. Very funny celebrity panel show where they tell outrageous lies about a particular topic, but try to snuggle truths undetected past their opponents. Very funny, and there's years of back catalog to listen to, if you're so inclined.

I've had my 2004 Honda Element for 20 years now. Favorite car ever! I'll drive it until it disintegrates.

23rd century?

Keep a local copy of your bitwarden password for offline use. The native Bitwarden clients can be used offline.

I'm grandfathered in to when their premium was a one-time payment, but I'm trying out AntennaPod again as I'd like to stick with open source solutions. I haven't used AntennaPod since 2.4.x and I moved back to Pocket Cast because AntennaPod was giving me a weird issue where the app would occasionally lose audio focus when I paused. I'm hoping I don't run into that issue again, because, other than that, it was every bit as good as Pocket Casts, probably better.

I love being able to arrange by tags, rather than folders.

I thought it was funny. I miss it.

"smuggle" not "snuggle "

Too bad. I was hoping to get some hot stock tips.

I regret that I have but one upvote to give
