As a teenager years ago I used to do this for kicks. If you’re paying with a personal card, however, your name on the “billing address” must match the card your paying with. -This largely defeats most privacy concerns even if you’re changing the name in the “shipping address” field as payment processor’s as well as some merchants retain that billing information.

That must have been frustrating. How many times did it lock you out from trying again?

I know it sounds trite but his hostility towards Rosie O’donell back in '06-'07 cemented my disdain for him.

It’s worth a watch if only just for the effects and the world-building. I’m not against the premise, either, but like the title of the sub points out there was poor execution.

Yeah, but if the politicians don’t listen to hurt celebrities who then will they listen to? -The poors?

“This might be your last chance in life to be surrounded by experts and hot people having discussions.”

The things that really matter.

I don’t know how many banking holidays there are but they typically are only observed by people working at banks… Personally speaking, I’ve never had a job that gave any holidays off, but I also never had a job that gave vacation time, even though some of them said they did on paper.

we never stopped. One week vacation per year is considered a perk at most jobs that offer it.

Back in 2020 when I took my class for my A+ cert I remember the instructor directing us to a Windows 10 debloating video tutorial to speed up a Win10 computer. If I recall correctly In that video the host point’s out that one of the Microsoft services that ran in the background of every standard distribution of Windows 10 was a keylogger. It was one of the many things that got permanently turned off in the in the tutorial.

“Op didn’t say social media companies today are like tobacco companies today”

I don’t see how anybody wouldn’t infer it from the headline.

also, I read your source and they don’t go into any specific detail about the actions of the big tobacco companies with the exception of labeling cigarette packs as “light, ultra light, mild, etc…” I was around for that and nobody was under the impression that there was a safe cigarette. The remedy for that just changed from asking the cashier for a pack of “Camel lights” to a pack of “Camel blues.” -At this point in time the Tobacco industry was also already banned from most television and radio marketing, even bilboards ads were disappearing. If comparing social media companies to tobacco companies from 1999 is the standard we’re trying to establish here, then I would have expected RICO cases against Twitter, Facebook, and Google back around some time between 2010-2015 or earlier. -They are so much worse than that now.

Oh, cool! I thought Haiku had stalled out. I guess I was wrong.

The current tobacco companies are no longer any more evil than any other business is my point. It’s a bad comparison for a modern day Social Media company, especially since so little of the population today was around for when Tobacco companies were at their worst.

The evil tobacco company is an outdated narrative. They were already regulated to hell 22 years ago when I started smoking and since then I’ve only ever seen the regulations increase now with the new apparent goal of outlawing nicotine. I can only speculate that people think this time we’re going to get prohibition right.

btw I quit smoking 7 years ago, and nicotine altogether 5 years ago.

It’s hard to remember but it was some version of Mandrake probably in the early 2000’s. At the time, they were one of the only distros (along with Red Hat) to offer an installation GUI. As a first time user I found partitioning a hard drive too complex to do on the command line.

I only used Mandrake for a short time before reverting to windows but it wasn’t long after that when I came back and then started using Debian. Since then I went back to Windows then to OpenSuSe, then Debian, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and now Pop!_OS.

According to the records Arkansas has never had this many storms in the past, so she must be lying. -She’d know how.
