Is that not also shutting down?

When the SEC is gone am I allowed to insider trade too?

We had a prof who said he only used to book for the problems and they changed their order each edition. He would give us the previous years question numbers so we could buy the book used.

My friends and I ended up splitting a single copy of the book and texting each other the homework questions each week.

I had another prof who used an open source book and only charged us the price to print it. You could access it for free in PDF online, or even the source to generate the book in additional formats.

Fascism rejects the view that violence is inherently negative or pointless but rather views imperialism, political violence, and war as means to national rejuvenation.[11][12] Fascists often advocate for the establishment of a totalitarian one-party state,[13][14] and for a dirigiste economy (a market economy in which the state plays a strong directive role through economic interventionist policies), with the principal goal of achieving autarky (national economic self-sufficiency).[15][16] Fascism’s extreme authoritarianism and nationalism centres around the own group, but that can manifest as a belief in Manifest Destiny, revival of historical greatness (like Mussolini seeking to restore the Roman Empire) or in case of Nazism, racial purity or a master race which blended with some variant of racism or discrimination against a demonized “Other”, such as Jews, homosexuals, transgender people, ethnic minorities, or immigrants. These ideas have motivated fascist regimes to commit massacres, forced sterilizations, deportations, and genocides.[17][18] During World War II, the genocidal and imperialist ambitions of the fascist Axis powers resulted in the murder of millions of people.

I’m a little underwhelmed by the iOS app itself, but the content is great

Hopefully Pixelfed continues to bloom into a solid community!

The app doesn’t really feel native, and doesn’t have features like clicking to enlarge an image. If it’s open source I’d look into helping though

No idea, I don’t really follow that

This does annoy me.

I’m working on a program that uses ctest and compiles a folder of test executables, and it takes seconds to test the first time vs hundredths of a second after.

Yeah, a second isn’t a lot of time, but it means I can’t accurately benchmark performance easily.

Yes, but how do we know this highly effective vaccine we’ve been taking for 80 years coinciding with the largest lifespan increases in history is really safe? Couldn’t there be microchips in there?

Yahoo just gradually died as people started slowly abandoning it.

The same can happen to Facebook, but it won’t die with a bang.

There weren’t consequences of Twitter blocking mastodon, nor Reddit blocking lemmy, so I expect nothing will happen here either.

When the platforms see their users as chattel you should leave.

It’s surprisingly affordable with this 84 month loan!

The criminal thing about car loans is they often increase the loan APR as the duration increases, so it’s not just exponentially more expensive, the exponent is larger too!

It looks affordable until you find out your 84 month loan means you pay 25% more for the vehicle.

Also the second criminal thing is the depreciation curve is front loaded, so when you go to sell or upgrade you owe more and your asset is worth less.

For me it strikes the right balance of usability and security.

I’ve been a Mac user for almost 20 years now. I’ve had periods using Linux on desktop, but not for some time now. I’m very much a macOS power user.

The things I use my computer for: desktop publishing via Affinity, photo editing, programming, some app dev, playing mostly older games, and I do a lot of data analysis. There are a few macOS apps I could not live without: Automator, Preview, and I use Apple Numbers a surprising amount (I like that it’s table based and not sheet based).

I also find the right usability and hardware quality makes a huge difference for me. What stopped me before was Linux high DPI support and trackpad quality, but that was years ago.

An example of why I like Mac: I have a script at work that spits out Google cloud buckets in gs: format and I can’t change the script. I set up a simple Automator workflow so now I can right click the url and format it as a link to the bucket viewer in my browser instantly.

I have a ton of these little workflow improvements that I’m sure you could do with Linux but already work well for me.

Rosetta 2 seems pretty good still. It’s not free translation, but it’s viable.

I don’t expect macOS to be the best platform for games, I just want them broadly playable.

As a Mac user I too want SteamOS to succeed, because it will indirectly result in more games that are compatible with macOS via game porting tools and wine.

Honestly windows is just annoying to deal with. I don’t like the ads, and I don’t like my start menu bar being reorganized. I run it in a VM and managing my install keys is a huge pain with their login system.

Linux is awesome, it’s neat watching its developer friendliness result in snowballing market share.

And that’s why I shouldn’t read at 3am

That’s still crazy, I agree

It’s not mentioned in the article, but how on earth did they cite her for 2000 in fingers in 5 minutes?

Hopefully any judge who saw that would dismiss it as unreasonable

I watch a lot of baking shows and your cake is easily the most beautiful cake I’ve ever seen!

I get the work purposes thing, but at the same time there are too many businesses without their own website where they could post more information for pretty cheap prices.

You can still cut it out from your personal life and your scrolling.

I don’t think I could write a single one of those sentences at the behest of an employer.
