  • Why am I still faster than you?

  • If you want an electric bike, the price goes up fast.

    If you want one with a belt so that it won't take crazy maintenance not to degrade over the winter, it goes up faster still.

    If you want storage for your purse and whatnot, a bit more expensive still. A good large basket is more expensive than you'd think.

  • How to get rid of Mastercard and Visa?

  • Dang it. I had forgotten that most debit cards now have partnerships like that.

    However, remember that debit card transaction fees are typically quite a bit lower (no exact numbers to support my claim, but for instance my hairdresser only takes credit for larger payments; small ones she only accepts debit, or she would just lose too much to the credit card company).

    So you wouldn't NOT support MasterCard/Visa, but they WOULD receive less money.

    As for non-American credit cards, someone asked a similar question on Reddit and got technically valid but unsatisfying responses.

    For instance:

    Like, when they say "don't encourage the US" people don't typically mean jumping to Chinese companies instead. Not to mention UnionPay is definitely not as widely supported as Visa or MasterCard.

    And while Japan isn't exactly notorious for its human rights violations these days, I kinda doubt JCB cards would be very widely supported. And could you even get one if you're not Japanese?

  • Their only chance at a defense (and it's incredibly bad) is arguing that they only stole the stuff but didn't distribute it to others. Kinda like buying drugs is typically not as severely punished as selling them.

    But yeah I really don't think copyright laws are gonna change in a way that makes happy little individual piracy easier. Meta might want that at this very moment, but they'll for sure feel differently about THEIR intellectual property.

    Without even thinking about big vocal IP holders like Disney.

  • Why aren't lemmy DMs compatible with mastodon?

  • Oof, sounds like we really need a new, better put together version of the protocol. I wonder if the W3C would be good to do that.

  • The trick is, you don't flip it. You use an oven-safe pan, and when it's almost ready on the bottom, you put it in the oven on broil. It rises to a fluffier texture and it cooks properly on both sides without much effort.

  • For the SUM of your tenants' rent to pay for your mortgage and most of the upkeep? Probably fair.

    For ONE tenant to cover the whole mortgage? Geez, that's not nice, to put it softly.

  • What exactly are you trying to get around? The question is kinda broad.

    If your issue is your program behaving differently or being hard to set up depending on the OS, a common strategy is Docker.

    PS: why is your employer forcing you to use old Windows that's going to go end-of-life basically tomorrow morning? That's odd.
