Not every adult has a driver’s licence.

It’s so unnecessary complicated and prone to errors/manipulation

That’s why it exists - to make it more inconvenient for people (especially in certain demographics) to vote.

Black Friday, the shopping day is a gimmick

And one that’s been exported to other countries who don’t even have the same national holiday adjacent to that friday giving people the excuse to shop more on that particular day.

Here it’s nothing but a cynical corporate cash grab.

Never allow “Send notification” permission for “Bot verification purposes”.

Or for any other reason, either.

Not even my bank or other places I trust get to send me push notifications in the wenmb browser.

If you really need to get my attention, and if I have explicitly allowed it , then send me an email.

I’m not sure about the colour yet. Thinking more about some kind of red or turquoise.

I’d go with the reddish-brown of the original leather-ish material.

how do I know someone hasn’t placed a bomb inside

You learn enough about electronics to identify things that shouldn’t be in there, and then you open up and analyze your devices.

Alternatively, you could not become involved with an organization that is at war with a powerful country who has a capable spy/espionage agency.

Which means they’re not going to respect your local do not call lists.

But the fee is nominal and wouldn’t stop any predator from doing bad things if they are so inclined.

It might slow down people from doing it in bulk, though.

I was about to say something similar.

I suspect that people in their target market not being made aware of it is part of the problem that is leading them to shut down.

Don’t bring that to their attention- they’ll start banning open source too.

your local library

That’s where I did my printing for about a year before I bought my own printer.

They only charged for the gram weight of the filament used.

I’d expect Apple’s move to be followed by a lot of creators adding a “Don’t use the iOS Patreon app”

I’ve already received similar posts from a couple of patreon accounts I follow.

Unfortunately creators need to be paid and YouTube ad & subscription money is a big part of that for many of them.

By posting to elsewhere that won’t pay them, they would be reducing their income

Plus, those other platforms don’t have an audience.

Even Odysee, which has been around for several years, I only get 10s of views compared to the 3000-5000 that I get on youtube.

Most courier companies will do regular daily or scheduled pickups from business accounts.

had to make a custom profile, but it works fine.

Yes, for a person with a bit of experience that is an easy task.

It’s a bit more daunting for a newbie who is asking the sort of basic questions OP is doing

I think it also depends on the locale.

When I look at both Kijiji and Facebook marketplace, I see far more listings on Kijiji.

We’re Watching Facebook Die

It’s not happening fast enough.

I didn’t say it wouldn’t work for me, only that they make it hard to get here.

It would be cool if they sold the thing in (or were willing to ship to) my country…

Want to go farther? Fine! DC fast charging is, in fact, fast

Sure, but those need to exist at the appropriate locations, and be maintained in working order - neither of which is the current reality in a lot of places.

Add to that the lack of availability of affordable EVs and you are going to have the slow adoption we currently see.

.

I was planning to get an EV of some sort the last time my vehicle needed to be replaced, but there were none available at the time that fit my budget and my needs.

I still intend to have one relatively soon, but the practical realities are still an impediment.
