Don’t worry. All the stores now (at least in the US) have predatory deferred financing that promises zero-interest and then shows you low minimum payments to trick consumers who were never taught how credit works into thousands in interest.

45·24 days agoTheir explanation as to why:
--no-quarantineis used to forcibly bypass Gatekeeper, which is a built-in macOS security mechanism. This is used to run unsigned/unnotarized applications.macOS Tahoe is the final release to support Intel systems, and last year Apple updated macOS runtime protection to make it harder to override Gatekeeper. Macs with Apple silicon also don’t “permit native arm64 code to execute unless a valid signature is attached”. Finally, we are ending support for all casks that fail Gatekeeper checks on September 1st, 2026.
With the above in mind, it’s time to deprecate the
--no-quarantineflag frombrew. It intentionally bypasses macOS security mechanisms, which we already actively discourage. Deprecating now will give a decent lead time for users using it to come up with another solution or adjust their workflows.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•How the "NATO phonetic alphabet" was created (23:27)
13·2 months agoRight, but you speak english. As the video explains, it was spelled “alfa” so people who can’t speak english don’t pronounce it with a p sound.
Source for the meme is Gushing Over Magic Girls. It’s a very wholesome romance anime.

16·2 months agoJapan is famous for its laws and customs regarding nudity, sex, porn, accessories, etc… Anything you might expect a stereotypical prude to clutch their pearls over, really. It’s simply gasp too obscene!
That really isn’t the case though. Love hotels, “gentlemen’s clubs”, and other adult institutions are heavily advertised, and sex toys can be found almost anywhere – drug stores, superstores, even connivence stores.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are Street Racers "bad people"?
92·2 months agoThat would be a great option if tracks stopped getting bought out, torn down, and replaced with suburbs.
Also, even if you do have access to one, they have gotten very expensive and have strict vehicle regulations. Idk where you live that you can get on a track for $20 but where I live, one would be lucky to get on a (non-drag strip) track for $500.
Not defending street racing, but it isn’t that simple.

No, my sister has hundreds of vacuum sealed plushies and they all return to normal when opened.
I used to think along the lines of this too until I visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial where they tell you about all the ways the US min-maxed the bomb to kill as many people as possible and did it truly as an experiment.
TLDR: It was named after the town Cummington, Massachusetts where it was found.
Macbooks refuse to connect to more than one display over a USB-C dock, meaning you have to purchase a thunderbolt dock.




Well, there is zero interest if you pay it in full by the allocated date (usually 12-24 months); however, if you do not pay it in full by then (which they try to trick you into), not only do you get charged interest going forward, you also get charged interest for every month that was previously “zero interest”, which ends up being a lot, often more than the product(s) would’ve originally cost.
