Fossil fuel companies and their industry associations lobbied the federal government an average of five times per working day
I would be ready to punch faces if i was accosted by someone 5 times a day about their shitty self-absorbed needs
Seriously–I’d spite them for being so fucking pushy. WTF
I appreciate the recommendation! Thanks!
They probably are already ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Any suggestions for a different company to buy cables etc from? I’ve bought their chargers and cables and been happy with them but I’m fine with trying something different next time.
My buddy works IT for a company and that 20% chance is one he encountered just last week!!
¿Porque no los dos? 💈
Fake it till you make it! (งツ)ว
Well isn’t that great, mr. moneybags
/S
Yes I’m making a stupid joke bc it’s a paid search engine, something i never would have imagined would be a thing. Now I’m going to price it and perhaps finally pull the trigger on an acct there because fuck google, fuck bing, and fuck all these sites being “wrappers” of them. I come from the dial-up days when lycos, webcrawler, altavista, yahoo–hard searches that would separate the men from the boys. Now we just get this “A.I.” bullshit instead and it falls apart under its own weight. Excuse me while i wave my cane at the sun ☀️
Edit: so it turns out you can get 100 free searches on their site here: https://kagi.com/onboarding?p=choose_plan
Otherwise, it’s $5/month for 300 searches, $10/mo for unlimited, and $25/mo for their “ultimate” exclusive experience…whatever that may be. I’m gonna try the freebies and see what happens. I’m still on the fence about paying for search, but I’m really tired of bs coming from these companies leading to things like we’re experiencing today
↖️This is the real life pro-tip right here
I think there’s a couple things at play:
You know enough to find a different app and make it do what you need it to. Not a hard thing, but something many non-tech savvy people could struggle with, or more likely–
People often will just use what’s there. We know we have options, we are aware of the privacy concerns… but many people simply aren’t and/or don’t care enough to do anything about it.
We spend a lot of time here, so it seems to us like second nature to avoid intrusive apps… I find in my day-to-day life not many people are talking about that kind of stuff, or don’t have much knowledge/experience in that realm. (I realize that is anecdotal).
I 100% agree with your statements–just trying to rationalize how so many people end up using/staying with these ever-worsening services/apps…
You read my mind 👏
I take back my chuckle
Good bot 👏
“Thank you for holding, sir. What may i do for you?”
"Actually, could you put me back on hold, that jazz station is lit "
Damn, that’s an angle i hadn’t been considering–the “AI did it, not me!” accountability loophole. Air Canada was just attempting to pull that on a customer that was given wrong info by a customer service bot. They only managed to get Air Canada to make good on their offer for bereavement rates when they were taken to court. Thanks AI!
It was an observation, but hey everyone go ahead and downvote me anyway. Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all – i love ya anyway 🥂❤️
You know you’re on Lemmy, right? This is how it works here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good stuff! I enjoy Banzai Run as well, my buddy and I always get a few rounds on that one at our local pinball haunt. That vertical playfield is super cool!
Never got to clock much time on Indy or Dredd, love AFM though. That’s a game i would consider for my collection someday–that one or Medieval Madness, both are just awesome games. I collect mostly late-70’s/early 80’s solid state games, though i have a particular soft spot for the classic Bally’s and Sterns from that era…
