Reddit was never a place to go to for facts. Reddit has always hated facts.

I used Instacart through the pandemic until vaccines were available. I knew about the markups, but couldn't easily figure them out. -That's not the problem I have with Instacart.

The big problem is their ability to leverage a discount from the store, which is even harder to figure out (outside of hearsay). -This makes it far more difficult for personal shoppers to compete on their own, or for customers to acquire a quality personal shopper they can rely on for a competitive rate.

This is according to their own religious texts which can be found in the Bible as well. A religion of genocide that instructed on brutal racial slavery.

Reflexes.

Super capacitor instead of battery. lol

The best way to recycle is to re-use. In a professional kitchen; we see meat like chicken come bagged inside bags inside double walled / waxed cardboard boxes. -They could come in re-useable containers and go back to the source on the truck they came from.

Linux is Linux - Nah.. there will be distros like Arch where you can just use the AUR (someone started a project to bring AUR like functionality to other distros), and there will be distros that go mostly or all in on other packaging methods. There's also wrappers like topgrade for those of us that don't want to bother with multiple commands to update all.

They make a good point. -Basically what I was suspecting.

Integrity is starting to show here. Items on ebay can be stolen, factory seconds, knock offs, etc. Buy from ebay and assume the risk. You're just driving prices up for the rest of us pulling crap like this.

Isn't this more of a pseudo piracy from youtube tool rather than an alternative?

Awesome for being a free tool, but it pales in comparison to Photoshop.

Block the bootloader from updating, use LTS kernel for stability. Checking Arch's page didn't work for me, btw. I ended up switching to Fedora because I was hit by every breakage (4 in a row), LTS kernel didn't work with my ethernet, and ethernet broke after an update. -Some people have great luck and some don't.

I wouldn't know any differences, as I wasn't using Linux back when sxiv stopped being developed.

I've been learning to control the outrage, and figuring out ways to turn things around. It's like my time with conspiracy theories helped me to discern bullshit, fact check, be objective, etc.

Dave Plumber is pretty damned objective.

When I ran a site, I dropped it because of the server load and lack of ad revenue from it. (My site was getting taken down by the host server, but probably mostly for another issue). That said, most sites seem to have a feed (though often hidden) and there are third parties that can make a feed for virtually any site.

I felt it was enough to hint that.-lol Criticism of alternatives being too much like Reddit hasn't been well received.

Firefox gets most of it's funding from Google. Mozilla is playing politics, which is self-defeating. Louis is becoming the next Alex Jones. When it comes to tech; FOSS can typically run years behind, especially for large, complicated programs like web browsers. The search engine revenue is what's keeping them afloat. Our primary goal should be to get people off the Google search engine, which is the moneymaker. It would be nice to have an ad blocker that only blocked Google Ads too.

Can we strive for better and not let corporations manipulate karma for cheap advertising, and do away with the company that directly influenced the civil unrest and riots?

If you want her hooked; make it better (not like). You're taking away Adobe, Office, Games, Topaz and other proprietary software, and you want to make it 'like' windows to boot? Outside of conspiracy theories about privacy and stuff, and people expecting an OS to run smooth at minimum specs; there isn't much reason to use Linux over Windows, besides dynamic tiling window managers. I'd think you were an idiot if I were her, and you gave me the popular response here.

The closer to being from the garden, the better they taste. -Also, the more toxic.

Lol? Before the 'protest'; there was a lot of bitching about the mods. The control freak mods moved on and now Reddit has a better atmosphere for it. I don't see anyone bitching about the mods anymore; just some petty bitching about Spez.

Carnac the Magnificent!

Then why are we reading about it?

VLC is heavily bloated with features you need a guide to use (may as well use a command line tool if you need to refer to a guide every time). It crashes (or did about 2 years ago) some of our Linux systems. MPV spanks the piss out of it.

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean others don't \ or that it doesn't exist.

A win-win.

Wars are fought with propaganda. This war isn't special.

You use Apple? lol.

No, that's called mooching. Freeloader.

That's part of the problem I have with this. Most electronics life cycle is gone before or around the time the battery is gone. Only people that abuse the batteries by over charging / full draining typically benefit from replacement batteries. -And this just mostly needs awareness.

There are no unions in self employment. I recommend you stop leeching off others and try working for your self.

That didn't stop the circle-jerking, romanticism, and ignorance of the sub's participants, or the ridiculous and inordinate amount of positive and negative karma coming from subs about weevils, for example. Easy karma just for posting 'aww lawd, here we go again' in r/bedbugs. Post a pic of a steak in r/steaks with 'cast iron' and 'reverse sear' and get easy karma too. - Post the same steak or even a much better one with 'tri-clad / air fryer' and get nothing. -First-hand experience with a crappy AI generated steak and one I put in an air fryer for 25 minutes at 180F before finishing in a tri-clad. -Edge to edge medium looking better than 99% of theirs. -lol. (The karma system is shit)

As much as I hate Go ogle, it is up to us to choose. -Sad part is all but Yandex is burying the same information as Go ogle it seems.

And they would have if the Union didn't interfere with their job codes bullshit.

I'm 52 years old. I learned from experience having been in multiple unions. Keep going with assumptions and propaganda. -Don't forget to 'collectively' down-vote what you can't reason against.

How to replace Windows with Garuda OS

I use Windows for Photoshop, Topaz AI, Office, and some games. -It's not replacing Windows.

Same way you'd learn to use your smartphone. -Why do we see this stupid question constantly?

A lot of predatory union propaganda. Be sure to call your union to down-vote, because that's the kind of stupid collective shit unions do.
