    5th Circuit rules ISP should have terminated Internet users accused of piracy

  • I mean yes, please vote people.

    However the supreme court is stacked because Bitch McConnell is a piece of shit.

  • Nearly half of US renters spend more than 30% of their income on housing costs

    Jump

  • It's extremely difficult to pull off today, but that doesn't mean that it isn't an appropriate figure. The "wants" and "investment" categories have effectively been wiped out for a large number of people, which isn't a healthy and sustainable way to live long term.

    This is what the entire "living wage" argument is based on. Regular people aren't making enough money to have a healthy budget. Well, some are just over inflating wants, but that's not the people I'm talking about.

  • 30% is widely considered to be the most you should pay for a living space in order to live a sustainable lifestyle and retire comfortably. It even says in the article that they consider anyone that has to pay more than that to be "cost burdened".

    It usually breaks down somewhere around 30% on housing, 20% on necessary bills, 30% on wants / unnecessary bills, and 20% on retirement investments / savings.

    The fact that nearly half of renters cannot do that is the problem that they are trying to highlight, but it doesn't offer much of a solution. These people will not be able to retire without public assistance (if they can at all), and will likely run into serious struggles long before then.

  • CNN requested an interview with Melania Trump. Her book publisher asked for $250,000 in exchange

    Jump

  • It translates to this meme template.

  • Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price

    Jump

  • Uhm... Yes. Like a lot.

  • Never forget what they took from us...

  • Satisfactory isn't bad either, but factorio wins in my book.

  • Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention

    Jump

  • Plus Biden attempted to block any more aid for Israel and the Republicans rammed it through anyway.

  • Romney Says He’d ‘Have Immediately Pardoned’ Trump If He Were Biden

    Jump

  • Trump has 91 felony allegations across 4 different state and federal cases against him right now. Many of which are directly related to him trying to overthrow our democracy.

    Burn him to the ground; I don't care about his legacy as a president. He was a shitty one anyway and was never actually elected by popular vote.

    I would be appalled if he was pardoned, and I'm already rather annoyed at the current state of the prosecution taking this long.

  • New York’s Vessel to reopen with steel-mesh safety measures after suicides

    Jump

  • Retracted. I was sleepy and apparently pissy this morning. I deserve my downvotes.

  • Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools

    Jump

  • That's.... Exactly what I was talking about. Master of the content.

    I am fully aware that the windows search hides things that you are actually searching for. Particularly if they are system preference apps, and it always goes to bing first regardless.

    Also, I bailed as well. I use windows for work and school, otherwise I'm on linux.

  • Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools

    Jump

  • They want you to use the search instead of a functional interface. That's why they keep making the interface worse.

    It lets them spy on you through bing, allows them to fill the results with ads, and lets them hide system applications unless you know exactly how to find them.

    It's also them gearing up towards funneling the entire UX through copilot for largely the same reasons.

    The entire goal is to flip the operating system from the slave of the user to the master of the content.

  • I mean... Yes? I hate this idea and Roku will lose me as a customer over this, but yes they are specifically targeting screensavers. Idle time is ad time to these people.

  • You need 0° to chill properly though.

  • You have to remove the plastic label if you want to recycle this plastic bottle.

    Jump

  • Can you name your country? Because, uh... No. If that actually exists where you live though, then that's awesome. We should have that here.

  • You have to remove the plastic label if you want to recycle this plastic bottle.

    Jump

  • My point was that it's not necessary, and the practice increases the likelihood that the entire bin will be thrown out because some consumer didn't peel them off. Then the company gets to say "we told them to do it, it's not our fault!"

    I do peel these off, but I also think that they are irritating and actively hinder the problem at hand.

  • You have to remove the plastic label if you want to recycle this plastic bottle.

    Jump

  • Nah, get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

    Ignoring the fact that hardly any plastic is actually recyclable in the first place, your argument is that conscious consumers should accept additional responsibilities on the off chance that it MIGHT actually get recycled?

    We figured out how to print on basically any surface a long time ago. How about we hold companies to a standard of responsible packaging, instead of yet again passing the buck to the end user.

  • Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck

    Jump

  • Because Tesla was fixing significant safety issues without reporting it to the NHTSA in a way that they could track the problems and source of the issue. The two of them got into a pissing match, and the result is that now all OTA's are recalls. After this, the media realized that "recall" generates more views than "OTA", and here we are.

  • Canada to ban the Flipper Zero to stop surge in car thefts

  • Isn't that because it can desync the actual keyfob?

    Nvm... Clicked the link. That's exactly why you shouldn't do that.

  • Don't forget paperclips, string, and aerosol cans. Hell, we should probably just ban wire altogether.
