Your landlord is a piece of work! You handled it brilliantly, though. Anytime there is a building-wide notice with anything legal cited, I look it up; every damn time they are twisting some existing bylaw to try to control tenants.

Long live your plant! They look very happy and healthy :)

Perfect timing for the sentiment. NF Canada axed the $10 stream last month, so now it's just godforsaken ad stream or the whopping increase to $15. I cancelled last month before this happened, so I won't get the grandfathered $10 plan. Perhaps a blessing in disguise, because this tactic feels ever so much like being held hostage.

Screw Netflix!!

The only thing I can come up with is when reddit was shitting the bed most egregiously, all of the news outlets were showing the app icon in images/thumbnails. Perhaps they wanted to distance a bit from the bad publicity?

Not that having a Doge button is any kind of brand recognition. I'd argue it's juvenile for such a "grown up company", or whatever Spez said about adult business, hehe.

The looks I got trying out online dating back in the day! The dates I got back then were.. interesting. Dating sites were one aspect of the internet that needed a mainstream following.

I miss when google still proclaimed to not be evil, and I didn't need every damn ad and tracker blocker imaginable on Firefox just to kick around.

Sorry, it said that he was using text messaging to accept contracts, not emoji.

There is also an exception for if the same number calls you twice within 15 minutes. That way if a loved one is calling from a different number it will still get through.

Inflation/cost of living/etc isn't singlehandedly increasing "enshittification" but rather the boundless greed of capitalism which seeks infinite growth of profit.

It's unsustainable so we'd better make more humans to buy more stuff from a handful of people.

I know you're being facetious, but I just wanted to point out that out of however many dives, only something like four of those missions were successful 😬

LJ (Sync dev) said he'd look at Kbin after he gets Sync for Lemmy up :)

The website also said travelers may be joined by French diver PH Nargeolet — one of the people who died on board the Titan submersible earlier this month.

Damn, this goes so much deeper than /corporatefacepalm. rip Nargeolet.

Also, must go look for that sub in the Fediverse.
Edit: /corporatefacepalm hasn't been created yet.

Reading about the kid was heartbreaking.

This quote is pure hubris: (oh irony)

That's atrocious! I hope someone is sending this post to a few media outlets.
