If the company is publicly traded, it is obligated to be most particularly greedy.

I’ll look into this. This is kinda my holiday gift to myself.

Any good sites to buy? I’m trying to avoid Walmart and Amazon.

I’m using Mullvad on a cheap T-Mobile phone and it never shuts down my VPN app, no matter what else is running.

The only time it goes down is if it powers down completely. Then I have to start it manually after the phone powers on.

Not exactly. I’m eating snacks and such that have more dietary fibre and protein, less sugar and such.

Some of the crackers I snack on look like corrugated cardboard. Definitely taste better though.

A big thing has been removing pop and sugary snacks. I make my own trail mix and snack on that a lot, too.

Haha. I’m working on that too. Finally starting to lose fat.

I dropped Xitter as soon as it became apparent that Elon was going to buy it and started pirating Disney (and everyone else) shortly after. Couldn’t tell you the last time I bought anything IBM but I’ll have to be more careful about it. I’m switching to a local fiber provider so I’m leaving comcast in a couple of weeks.

Afaik you should be able to. You could always try it and check your IP at a dns leak test site.

I hadn’t heard of that one - I’ll take a look.

This sounds like the opening animatic for a new Fallout game.

It’s “fewer Lamborghinis,” not “less.”

John Deere probably bribed lobbied hard for that carve out. It was their practices that helped drive the right to repair movement. Giving them a pass really diminishes the accomplishment.

Smaller farms are going to get screwed over with all the fees and mandatory maintenance that can be imposed.

Everyone gets angry about printers needing a debit card on file but manufacturers like John Deere do similar stuff. If they think you’ve tinkered with it, they can disable the equipment remotely.
