I used it at Whole Foods cause it did my prime code and charged me at the same time without digging my phone out of my pocket but also my Whole Foods has bad reception so it’s annoying to use
I wouldn’t call a $100-270 electric bill a “fraction” when it’s about 5% post tax income. I use a single light on a timer and have a small apartment
Especially since these sorts of corporations can get tax breaks or har means of getting regulators to allow spreading the cost. Residential shouldn’t see any increase due to data centers, but they do, and will, supplement them while seeing minimal changes to infrastructure
When people are being told to minimize air conditioning but then these big datacenters are made and aren’t told “reduce your consumption” then it doesn’t matter how big or small the electric bill is, it’s supplementing a multi billion dollar corporation’s toy
Times Square at one point was practically half full of Mullvad ads. I already distrusted it but the sheer amount of money they spent to do that made it shadier to me
I liked emacs, still use it for a lot of things, but the instantly tinkering and changing got to me. Took longer to set something up to work how I wanted than to do the thing.
I tried it out on one of my personal repos and I need to give it more time. I do like the way it tracks work, it feels like it would help me to make more commits as I work, cause I’m really bad about that
It does but guess what? You’re not middle class or bourgeois,, so not sure what point you’re trying to make.
You sell your labor, you don’t make money by exploiting others. And the middle class is a vague concept that is situational and effectively meaningless, particularly in the contemporary US
Oh well then. Either spend less on the train (also saving money on gas and maintenance) or stay in suburbia. We pay a premium to live in the city, much more than the $9 so I’m not gonna shed any tears that it’s not much less convenient for someone to not drive
Driving is almost always more convenient on many levels, so it’s not really the best argument start from “it’s just easier”
It’s basically the party of narcissism. Which is why Trump has succeeded. Freedoms insofar as their world and life are concerned. Generally not an externally motivated “hey they need to be free too” unless they can somehow appear morally superior in a US Christian way, like abortion or prootecting marriage.
