ARC Raiders looks way better anyhow.

Awesome thanks for that, and for welcoming us. Will get my act together and sign up SoonTM : )

Hi there! I’m investigating places to land when lemm.ee shuts down and lemmy.zip has a great defed policy and looks like a good place. One QQ is, will I be able to connect to the instance with a VPN? The pinned thread on this post seems to suggest it’s fine (try uploading the JSON with a VPN) but I want to be sure, as I don’t see any mention of this in the privacy policy or other legal docs. I know some instances block them, and I understand it’s to prevent abuse and ban evasion, however I use one all the time for enhanced privacy so it’s fairly important to me.

Thanks so much!

You mean like the increase to capital gains tax Carney killed in his first few days as acting PM? He wasted no time letting his crew at Stripe and Shopify know who he gets shit done for.

Let’s be clear that this is a way to criminalize homelessness, nothing more. We all know they’re not gonna send the white collar or trades addicts to these places. In the Depression era vagrant laws and asylums served the same purpose.

I worked phone support a few years ago and did that at the end of a call with a customer. I was really tired and the person was kinda draining but nice, and for some reason my dog’s face slipped into my mind as we were ending the call, who I say k-love-you-thanks-bye to all the time.

It’s probably pretty obvious when terabytes of upload are accrued over a few days like what OP mentioned, by seeding 24/7.

Like most any paid VPN service they need to track bandwidth usage somewhat. They can’t see what you’re accessing but they can see how much of whatever it is. Windscribe also offers a free 10gb/mo plan so they do track it for that purpose as well, much like any VPN with a free tier would.

Saw a yt thing last night that over the past three months Tesla execs have sold over 175k shares too

Walmart also partnered with Klarna if that means anything to folks reading this. I’ve seen for years companies like Affirm (AFRM) being backed heavily by Shopify (they have exclusive deals at this point and AFRM is one of Klarna’s direct competitors). The BNPL universe is coming for everything, including basic necessities like food now I guess. Affirm is also close with Amazon.

If you turn it on its side it’s a tunnel.

Check out Way Down Town filmed in and about Calgary’s +15 urban walkway system. Hilarious film.

Thank you lemm.ee admins and welcome new folks! Newcomers, you picked the best instance by the way.

Shopify is already long gone. More pointing out how corruption follows the money. Nobody in sales of a top company is unaware of the fuckery going on inside said company.

Everybody poops

Just watched this on YT (unrelated to this post) and it’s a fantastic upload. They’re already achieving 1m/hr drilling speed which stomps traditional bit-drill tech by a lot. And they can go way deeper.

They’re anti-tax and pro-tarif. They’ve been firing Canadian support workers and devs for years and outsourcing overseas. And they’ve been hiding money in places like Ireland (a tax haven) by opening hubs there.

They are only still in Canada on paper at this point anyhow. Fuck them, go hang out with the wall street bros.

I got one about an hour after the shaking stopped over here on Vancouver Island. That long after, why bother. Several people had already texted/alerted about it.

You really seem to know what you’re talking about so I probably don’t have to link you to the article about Fanta which Coca-Cola (as you say, listed on the US Stock Exchange) made the “drink of the nazis” and profited bigtime from.

IBM had major contracts with the nazis and developed some of the earliest rudimentary card computing tech to keep track of all the interred jews in the camps. I bet you knew that as well. IBM wouldn’t be around today without those contracts and that early tech (and the money it brought in).

What the actual fuck do you have against potted plants that you would use that as an insult anyway.

Look up how IBM, Coca Cola and Volkswagen (among many, many other companies that are very much still established to this day) got their boom-times during WW2 by supporting both the allies and the fash at the same time. They profited from everything that happened, in every way, and continue to do so.

Fascism is good for business, so to speak.

LOL
