Keep this quiet, but VPN to UK and sign up for channel 4. They have commercials, but UK does much funnier commercials than across the pond.

For those who think US Army is above this kind of torture.

Docker is a moderately sized step beyond VM.

I might recommend setting up VMs with something easy like VirtuaBox. When you have that figured out move on to Docker.

If your a casual user VMs are likely sufficient.

I’m not quite sure what your hang-up is? Is it the word slave? If that is it, then the employees of Amazon are the wage-slaves that deserve due credit. Where as I might consider myself a slave in the sense that I find myself answering to their bidding.

• Jack up rates, yes master.
• Interrupt us with ads, sure go ahead master
• disrupting buying patterns, always you master

My sense of freedom from Amazon is not up for debate.

So what is your @hogmamma@lemmy.world relationship with Amazon?

A few things

• Amazon years their employees like shit. Pay and treat them properly. Our gadget for $20 less than we can get from another store is subsidized by those workers.

• the commercials on Prime video. I specifically pay to watch shows, and not be interrupted and pitched dish soap. That was the deal

• removing the option of prime delivery will mean I will source my options more fairly to local sellers

In the end, I feel less dirty by not having that option. In the long run, will Amazon serve me better? The enshitification of the internet has taught me the answer will be no.

I cancelled my subscription. I’ve haven’t felt this free in a while. I’m no longer a slave to Amazon.

can threads users follow me?

This is the way.

Don’t trust executables on your computer. A Windows VM in a Linux host that you revert to a prior snapshot of you’re really curious.

Wix.com Ltd. (Hebrew: וויקס.קום, romanized: wix.com) is an Israeli software company,

The conflict aside, WIX is a corporation with strong political and theological roots. Even if the technology is good, choosing that platform comes with baggage.

The XPS line was popular at work. Desk candy to compete with Mac books. However the engineering did not complete at all. The battery was the biggest fail point, we had a high percentage of battery issues under warranty, and they would take months to get replaced by the vendor.

We stopped buying them, if someone wants desk candy these days it’s mostly Mac book pro as expensive as your budget can handle.

I can completely respect your perspective. Yes I was being short when I made this comment, no offense to the op was intended.

To patronize a service because its good does not imply loyalty.

Apple has a long history of being manipulative and exploitative of their customers. Being loyal to them (from my perspective) is like being loyal to an abusive person. You obey their commands not because of respect, but because you feel an emotional bond to them.

Uhm? No.

Russia and China-backed hackers are exploiting WinRAR zero-day bug https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/18/russia-sandworm-fancy-bear-china-winrar-zero-day/?guccounter=1

This article seems to be pushing the conservative narrative. They make a leap from mental health to eugenics, which is a stretch. I call BS

Denying the people the right to die with dignity is a sick perversion of morals.

I was getting more Ringo Starr vibes.

reduces my loyalty to the platform

Uh? Wow! Way to show them bastards. ;)

Great graphic, this needs to be a t-shirt

Whoosh

It said it believed that any taxes owed after the audit would be reduced by up to $10bn based on tax laws passed by former President Donald Trump.

Joe did this

Also, I’m not sure if IA’s purpose is to get a around a pay wall. That might be considered violating copywrite.
