Eggs are about $4.50 near Charlotte, NC for the cheapest dozen in budget stores like Aldi as of a few days ago. About 6 months ago they were closer to $1.35, so this is a massive increase for us even if it’s cheap compared to other parts of the country.
Except it went dark before the law had a chance to be enforced, and was back up before trump was ever in office and able to use executive orders. So points 3 and 4 have nothing to do with the actual law and are decisions completely from within tiktok

Hopefully this or the equivalent takes off and we can start getting fun variables in the future!

It’s definitely not a perfect system and you’re absolutely right that it significantly favors people with strong support and safety nets, especially those of a financial nature.
That being said it’s a very easy shorthand for a company to take and is reliable enough to keep using it, just like how financial institutions in the US use SSNs as private identifiers because it’s easier and cheaper than running and supporting their own systems/assessments and mostly works well enough

Sure, but so do a lot of other things that aren’t as costly. If NFTs were the first secure way to authenticate things online we wouldn’t have had online banking until very recently
A lot of advanced analytical tools in biotech at least are developed to be compute cluster compatible, and thus work best on unix-like CLI, e.g. Linux (or Mac with a bit of tinkering)

I think that’s part of the point? The twitchy zoomers aren’t on?
niucllos@lemm.eeto Books@lemmy.ml•Romance novels for a beginner with no "impure love drama"5·1 year agoDefinitely not my genre, but you could try The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion? It’s fairly comedic but I think checks all your boxes pretty well, including the last two (maybe not quite hate but definitely don’t view each other as romantic prospects)
As I understood it, VPNs don’t work in this threat model because it’s essentially routing traffic through a compromised router before it ever reaches the VPN, so the VPN acts normally but there’s a snooper before you ever connect to it
And I think Dr Who before that, although the Borg are certainly more known for it

My partner has an iPhone and the hoops we have to jump through to get some–not all–google photos, Fitbit, and Klipsch headphones features working is mindboggling. Apple watches also straight up wouldn’t work without another apple devices to phone home to last I checked. That’s the anticompetitive lawsuit

making a good productforcing your customers to only use your version so your customers can finally move away from it.” Fixed it. Non-apple watches, for instance, can’t use GPS from an iPhone or cause it to emit sound to local lost phones, despite being previously able to, demonstrating no technical limitations just a walled-garden limitation

Is this AI written? I’m pretty sure The Thief Lord doesn’t have a mysterious disease amywhere
A bit of a long shot but is it maybe one of The Seven Fabulous Wonders series by Katherine Roberts, maybe the Colossus Crisis?
I really like Martha Wells, in particular the Fall of Ile-Rien trilogy is mostly female protagonist led, but reasonable depictions of everyone and has really great world building
