I see you have never driven behind a pickup truck on a gravel road.

Let me preface this by saying I’m pretty anticapitalist, but I think the idea is that you create a new product or expand into a new industry. You can maintain growth for a long time that way.

Well today I learned!

A penny saved is still a penny saved. I’m not saying it would amount to much, but it is non-zero.

Depends on how much traffic you’re talking about. Encrypting/decrypting isn’t free.

Avoiding shorts is a feature IMO

I’m not claiming that it was “intuitive”, just that the browser did tell the user exactly what the add-on was allowed to do. Sure, Chrome and Firefox deserve some blame for not making the warning more explicit/dire, but they did make an attempt. Overwriting cookies and rewriting affiliate links are subsets of “access your data”.

Also, I’m not claiming that I knew exactly what Honey was doing, just that I suspected it was shady and recommended no one use it.

It wasn’t “uncovered” though. This is their business model. I’ve told every person I know using Honey for years that it’s a shady extension and they should stop using it. Unfortunately I don’t have a huge following to offset Honey’s massive ad spend.

I’m not calling anyone stupid, but stop treating this like it’s new information. Your browser warned you this might happen when you installed the extension:

The fact that it must be collected at all is the problem. I have very little faith that the government will actually choose a privacy preserving solution, and even if they do, I doubt it’ll be implemented perfectly.

I guess it was filibustered last time it came up. I’m hoping it will die as well, but I won’t count on it.

I think you meant to reply to the parent comment?

Vaccines protect the workforce and allow individuals to produce more. People being against vaccines cannot be good for capitalism, can it?

Jesus fuck, you censor the word “motherfucker” but leave the author’s name intact?

Unless you cause harm to others (like accidentally starting the next pandemic), how could you ever punish someone for treating themselves? 🤣

We don’t, as far as I know, make cutting your own arm off illegal and I fail to see how this is different.

PS: I’m not arguing against you, just noodling philosophically.

Fuck

It’s 2024. It’s rude not to jam your tongue in there!

And dick?

But you couldn’t release your own projects based on this under pure MIT or Apache-2.0. Presumably you’d need to include the same restriction about selling on Atlassian’s marketplace.

Split meaning equal shares, or split as in each person pays for what they ordered?

Canadian checking in.

Biggest oddity to me is that the default for restaurants is one bill, and waiters get annoyed if you ask them to split it by person.

Like why would I want to either:

• do math correctly splitting the bill while trying to leave; or
• be worried I ordered something more expensive than the average and unfairly make others cover it?

It’s complete insanity to me.
