Goodbye [old].[reddit].[com] (lemmy.world)
 

For a while Reddit dot com has been blocking my browser since I use a VPN, but old reddit was still functional for me. Although I closed my reddit account just after the API-exodus, I still frequent the niche communities which has hyper-specific topics discussed.

Found to my surprise today that they are now blocking old reddit as well if I use a VPN.

Never thought that [old].[reddit].[com] would one day show that f'kin "Whoa there Pardner" page.

Fuck you spez. Really, fuck you.

Aldi plans to open 800 new locations in the US as Americans feel pinch of high food prices in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] DeadNinja@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

New England resident here. I find Aldi to be alright. The lower price point is definitely noticeable, especially when you compare with other big players in the area like ShopRite and Stop&Shop.

I switched over to Aldi since 2020, they are quite decent when it comes to the basics.

Good to know they are expanding. Aldi's Sister concern Trader Joe's is already heavily present in the New England region, although I suspect they have a more 'niche' group of customers.

Why is it legal to buy and sell used books/discs but illegal to buy and sell used digital files? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] DeadNinja@lemmy.world 33 points 5 months ago

Logically yes, downloading or a sharing a digital file is a "lost sale" - but as Aaron Swartz said - "lost sales" are also caused by Earthquakes, Libraries/DVD Rentals, Negative Yelp reviews, Market Competitors, and so on. Why just blame it on file sharing...

Basically title.

My basic physics knowledge says that the larger chips - near the top of a bag of chips - are not "stable", they are kinda precariously balanced only at one or two points. But once the brittle chips break down, they tend to settle at the bottom because the crumbles are more "stable" there, and are at a lower state of potential energy.

Just my own theory, but would like to know what others think here.

Edit : Does this question not belong to this community ? I couldn't explain the downvotes..

Excuse me - if I bought your product and paid for it, in what universe am I not investing into you, and instead you are investing into me??

HP is a steaming pile of shit.

I don't exactly recall when or where I heard/read this quote, but man it is dope

  • "it should not be a concern when people pirate your content, it should be when people don't even want to pirate your content"

I hope you noticed that the key phrase in your comment is "your content"

Good luck claiming any of the content on the streaming platforms as "your"

LOL.

We pay for 4K, but we don't get more than 720p unless we use some proprietary shit hardware and agree to their super-invasive "privacy policy" - and they expect people to NOT set sail in the high seas? GTFO..

ABP has that stinky practice of marking ads as "acceptable" (basically those companies pay ABP to be on their "allowlist").

As has already been mentioned - stop using ABP, and use uBO instead. It's a lifesaver.

The Boy Who Could Change the World: The Writings of Aaron Swartz (lemmy.world)
 

Just started reading this book this week - and oh boy (pun intended) it is relatable AF.

Really unfortunate that we lost him at so early an age. He really could have changed the world for better.

Wayfair CEO: Employees need to work longer hours | CNN Business (www.cnn.com)
 

Wayfair’s CEO has an end-of-year message for employees of the online furniture company: Don’t shy away from doing more work and blending your work with your life.

“Winning requires hard work. I believe that most of us, being ambitious individuals, find fulfillment in the joy of seeing our efforts materialize into tangible results,” CEO Niraj Shah said in a note to employees earlier this month celebrating the company’s recent success, and which a company spokesperson confirmed to CNN. “Working long hours, being responsive, blending work and life, is not anything to shy away from. There is not a lot of history of laziness being rewarded with success.”
