It’s not really about eating the costs of doing business. A restaurant doesn’t charge you $1 at the end of your bill for washing your fork, it’s just part of the cost of serving the dish and so your Salmon Rice dish is $18 not $17.

The point is that the listed prices for services should either have these fees be built right into the price…as pretty much all businesses do…or if you’re going to put it at the end of the bill then it needs to be clearly defined per FCC.

It’s a transparency problem. Not only is your $60 cell phone bill not actually $60 but then they also don’t tell you about the additional fees very well when they tack them on at the end. It’s gotta be one or the other, not neither.

ITT: people who don’t realize that most USB-C cables are USB 2.0

Album , 9 months ago

The article only really has facts about the 2.0 cable, anything said about the device is speculated.

The entire article is literally based on a tweet where someone tested the cable. The title of the article and of this Lemmy post references that.

I’m totally with you that shrinkflation is an issue.

But these nofrills packages are intentionally priced at an even value like $10. to the point that the price is written directly on the package not an in store label that they can update. I get things like chicken and sausage patties like this too. So instead of putting in 3 and updating the price to $15 or whatever they just take one out.

Additionally fish is not a staple good, generally fish is sold at “market price” because it’s affected by populations and seasons and prices for fish vary significantly through the years because of this.

But again I agree and the best thing to do is pay attention and not buy things that you don’t think are worth.

Lol yeah the person who replied didn’t know what nofrills was but the bank of Canada also increased total money supply similar to how the us federal reserve did.

Is that true? Most of the best public trackers got shut down. Anything left has bots recording your IP and you’re getting a letter from your ISP.

If you’re not on a private ratio tracker or paid tracker it’s basically a non starter. So I’m not sure about unaffected era the last 10 years have been brutal for pirates via torrent.

No, I don’t expect anyone to open up a 7z. Why would I do that to someone? It just makes more work for everyone.

I use 7z myself but if the files go out I convert to zip for the benefit of my own time and also theirs.

At this point every hiring manager out there is aware of Amazon’s terrible workplace practices. Put on the resume don’t say you got fired. When you get asked why you left, tell the truth of the situation. Some managers won’t want you because if it sure, but the intelligent ones can see the tree through the forest and those are the places you want to work anyway.

It’s sub optimal but that’s what happens when you join a place like Amazon.

Conversely you even remotely mention the CCP negatively you’ll instantly get a disproportionate amount of down votes and comments compared to how active the thread is

Just like how r/fph wasn’t originally about hating on obese but really pointing out the flaws in logic they use to justify over eating. But we all know what it turned to which got it banned. I’m not sure it was ever as bad as the admins claimed…I think it was more to set an example.

It’s a misnomer mate… Like how r/trees isn’t about trees and r/tiktokcringe isn’t about anything cringy.

Fph was originally about the broken logic used. Not about hating fat people. Not to say it didn’t turn into that and the misnomer sub name surely didn’t help.

Posts and comments is one thing… It’s inherently public. But I think being able to see up and down vote publically is a tough pill. If you don’t realize your votes can be seen you risk your vote being held against you. If you do know it disincentivizes you to use the vote system to protect yourself from something that should be rather benign.

Your own email server requires near 100% uptime or you risk not receiving critical emails. If a remote email server is trying to contact your email server and it can’t it’s only going to retry a few times and then give up. Hosting this yourself sounds great until you realize high uptime is not cheap and requires constant attention.

Setting it up securely can be difficult depending on your understanding of server infrastructure as well as protocols like DNS. You need to set up SPF, DKIM, DMARC, etc in order to prevent someone from faking an email from your server.

Of course, federated email does not use SPF/DKIM/DMARC because the whole point is that someone from another server could use your server to send an email (hence the federation). Open email servers were common 20 years ago but very rare today. That makes setup easier, but the main caveat is that most known non-federated email servers will reject email from servers that don’t have SPF/DKIM/DMARC because they generally end up being havens for bots and spam since there is no verification or authenticity of the sender.

As someone who self hosts a lot of things, I would never self host my email. If i did I would be paying for two boxes in different parts of the world on different ISPs to provide that uptime. I would definitely set it up securely and not as a federated server otherwise it would be practically unusable for day to day emails.

I take “federated email” to refer to a juxtaposition with normal email implementation which harkens back to how it was in the 90s or early 00s where you didn’t need to be registered on many SMTP servers in order to use it and it’s stripped of server-side validation. There’s some discussion on this topic in the fediverse.

You’re right that the default current implementation is already federated.
