All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week ( arstechnica.com )

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

I keep seeing Usenet mentioned for downloading media, but I've never tried it; I've stuck with torrents because they're free and what I'm familiar with. Is paying for Usenet access worth it, is it more straightforward to use with the *arr stack, is there more content available?

Tesla's self driving appears to be less safe and causes more accidents than their competitors.

"NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation said in documents released Friday that it completed “an extensive body of work” which turned up evidence that “Tesla’s weak driver engagement system was not appropriate for Autopilot’s permissive operating capabilities."

Tesla bad.

All of these locations (Alaska, California, Hawaii, much of eastern Europe) are ones that Russia has at one point in its imperial or soviet history had either outposts or territorial claim to.

Come on dawg, you can't just drop Hawaii in there and not tell us what the fuck the Russians were doing over there!

Outrage after US hunter who reportedly took wolf in bar and killed it only fined ( www.theguardian.com )

A Wyoming hunter who reportedly ran over a gray wolf with a snowmobile, taped the creature’s mouth shut, took a picture with it inside a local bar and then shot it to death behind the tavern has ignited calls for stiffer penalties in such an egregious case of animal abuse....

Yeah, don't go kill a wild (organic) animal and eat it, go to the grocery store and buy the antibiotic-riddled meat produced in awful conditions by a factory farm like the rest of us you disgusting FUCKS! /s

Dawg, I live in a real rural place. Maybe like 20% of the people I know use wild game as their primary source of meat; they take 1 elk or maybe 2 deer and fill up the freezer for the year to feed their family.

Trophy hunters, however, can absolutely FUCK right off.

Edit: and so can this wolf dude too.

😮‍💨 I understand too well. "Average" single family homes in my area were like $400,000, now it's $820,000. Rents for single bedroom apartments went from about $800-900 month to $1,600+ per month. I live in a town of about 65,000 in the Rockies, middle of nowhere, like minimum 5 hour drive to a city with more than a million people, yet somehow, people are still flocking here from all across the country.

Is there a License that requires the user to donate if they make revenue?

I tried a couple license finders and I even looked into the OSI database but I could not find a license that works pretty much like agpl but requiring payment (combined 1% of revenue per month, spread evenly over all FOSS software, if applicable) if one of these is true:...

I think you may be mistaken.

By definition, if the user of the software is not free to do as they wish with the software, the software is not free/libre. It could fit the definition of open source, but it is not free/libre if you are restricting what the user can do with your source code.

And starting comments with "Wrong." Is just rude.

"I don't understand your point of view, so I think you need therapy" is a very condescending point of view.

The comment above you is making the point of

Angry at society -> Take out anger on society

The shooter doesn't give a shit about the victims as individuals; to him they're just components of the society, or actors within the society that he thinks wronged him somehow. They're part of the problem to him.

I think you're assuming that the shooter was seeing and experiencing the world and interpreting it the same way you do. THEY DO NOT, they are mentally ill, and have different thought patterns to people who are neurotypical. They have managed to convince themselves that they don't have a problem, that society is the problem.

They're using "order" as a command, not physically buying medication. Outpatient pharmacies receive the physician's order as a prescription, but in hospitals and clinics they're just referred to as "orders" and could include everything from medication to diet, scheduled treatments, physical activity, etc.

You are correct, it's "pasteurized processed cheese product," but for brevity most of us just call it cheese.

Wendy’s Vows No Burger ‘Surge Pricing’ After Online Fury ( www.thedailybeast.com )

Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.

It would be cheaper at first to promote the idea

That's a pretty charitable take for a multi billion dollar company.

Please make sure you read up on how shorting a stock works! Your losses are theoretically infinite if you short a stock. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/100913/basics-short-selling.asp

@gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Options contracts for strategies like this typically cover 100 shares minimum though, so if Reddit's stock goes public at say $10.00 per share and they buy 1 contract, they're going to need $1000 just to buy the contract, and if the share price ends up going up to say $11 instead of going down, that $1000 is gone plus they're down another $100.

I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.
