1·1 天前I have never not been able to call them and threaten to cancel if they didn’t lower my rate though. That’s the crazy thing. I don’t have them anymore (thank God) but I had Comcast for close to 15 years and did this repeatedly.
Even Comcast will allow you to sign up as a new customer with whatever deal they are running if your previous account is closed. That’s saying a lot because they’re an absolute dogshit company.
They definitely updated it because I could see the link for login and my page doesn’t look the same now as it did the first time I went to look.
I’m on the website looking at each of their deals. There’s no fine print that I can see except this:
“The specially discounted price of US$35.88 is valid for the first 12 months. Then it will automatically be renewed at US$79.95 for 12 months. You can cancel at any time. Renewal pricing subject to change according to terms and conditions.”
The terms and conditions may involved some, but it should be visible on the deals page at least when you click through.
I feel like this belongs on the powertrippinbastards com.
Or even the reddit community.
5·3 天前The majority of fake influencers? Or the majority of sock puppet accounts?
Also, would you like a breakdown of USA/India relations over the last 50 or so years because that’s a quagmire in and of itself.
India and China Historically don’t get along but India and China have been in talks centered around trade because of US Tariffs.
I chalk it up to what people can be paid to do in those countries. We already know there are social media influencer accounts based in Asian countries. We have seen farms where it’s just cubby after cubby of people trying on clothes and taking pictures and so on.
If they can be paid to lie about and model a bunch of fast fashion clothing and accessories, they can be paid to run sock puppet social media accounts for the purposes of meddling in the politics of another country. And China is and has been an adversary of the USA for decades.
4·3 天前I mean. Google literally just announced their new Aluminum OS. Like. 2-3 days ago I saw an article about it. Let me find it.
I see some suggestions on Reddit that it might be useable on phones. Nothing about that in the article so far as I read.
2·3 天前I’m gonna get the freeware version just for the nostalgia. I used to beat the piss out of my little brother in this game.
On the positive side though, following all that backlash, Microsoft acknowledged Windows has issues, and as if on cue, the company in a new support article has admitted that there are problems on almost every major Windows 11 core feature. The issues are related to XAML and this impacts all the Shell components like the Start Menu, Taskbar, Explorer, and Windows Settings.
- Explorer.exe crash
- shelhost.exe crash
- StartMenuExperienceHost issues
- System Settings silently fails to launch
- Application crashes when initializing the XAML views
- Explorer running but no taskbar window.
- other XAML island views fail to initialize.
- ImmersiveShell problems
Glen and Friends has never let me down. I’d recommend the channel.
I have a question. Is the mildly infuriating part for you the part where there is account masquerading as you on the internet, using your words and proliferating data/information essentially in your name?
Or is it that you wanted to deprive the internet at large of whatever advice or information was imparted in that comment and someone else/a bot is reuploading that information without your consent?
Because on the one hand, I agree that using your username and your written comment to validate an account that’s likely a bot account is dodgy and underhanded and messed up.
But on the other hand, if that advice is valuable to other people and the intent was to impart that information to others outside of reddit and this is attempt to attribute it to you, rather than an attempt at plagiarism, I’m not sure I would necessarily agree.
But this is unfortunately one of the downside to putting any comments/information on the internet.
I’ve been looking for this option.
The main problem with this (from a stock android perspective) is Google play services. Your private phone/daily driver would literally have to be a non-stock rom or one that doesn’t come with Google play services installed at all. Because otherwise Google and other companies linked to them will fingerprint your device and link it that way because those two devices are often in the same place at the same time or on the same network at the same or similar times etc. Then, even when you think you’ve given the apps no permissions, Google has a habit of turning this stuff on (location data, telemetry etc) and gathering it in the background.

Interesting. I don’t get this message in mobile Firefox.
I dunno. I have lots of problems with textures (and textures that feel good as well). Might be ADHD, might just be me being weird. But plates, cups, and silverware especially shouldn’t be greasy and if you fry anything you’ll get grease everywhere.
I use Voyager (and boost, and sync before that). I like Voyager (now that I’m used to it), but I wish the medium sized thumbnails in compact mode were slightly larger.
