Probably around the same time I learned spelt is a type of wheat.

We prefer the formal culinary term, Scalp Croutons.

Oh wow, that sounds really compelling. Any idea when it’ll be out of alpha?

Fixed that for you…

Ultimately you still do not own these books, just like with Amazon, because they are locked into a DRM and proprietary reader, so your “purchase” can be rescinded or orphaned at any time…

• Ebooks from Bookshop.org must be read on either our Apple or Android app, or via a web browser. • Users of Android based e ink devices, that have regular access to the Google Play app store (Boox, Meebook, etc), should be able to download and read from our Android app. • Due to Amazon’s and Barnes & Noble’s proprietary digital rights management software (DRM) and publishers’ DRM requirements, it’s not currently possible to buy ebooks from Bookshop.org or local bookstores and read them on your Kindle or Nook.

Misspelled “patriots” in that headline, tankies.

Now that is a turn… Reddit user/bots copying content from Lemmy BACK to Reddit, instead of the other way around.

I love those quirky two-dollar bills! As a child, family members would use them gifts, and they would occasionally confuse cashiers (some of whom were certain they were fake).

No spoilers! ;-)

Sorry, Lemmy has this frustrating thing were image links override URL. Should be fixed now.

Obviously fake… FBI too busy protecting Tesla dealerships to do anything else.

War against Murder CEOs remains unresolved.

Is there an option for “Request Amazon to pay drivers decently and improve working conditions?”

Nope, just a “illegally suppress unions” button.

Yet another thinly veiled stealth lay-off by a technology company. Amazon’s cloud boss Matt “The Prat” Garman will indeed see some departures, as intended and desired. However, that first wave will be of their most talented, who feel confident they will land on their feet elsewhere, leaving those that simply cannot leave (yet) or those that will cozily under perform. When Amazon applies the inevitable followup reductions (subjectively based on their internal review process) to remove the latter, and the former buckle under the load or also leave, Amazon will be left with lower-middle talent at best.

The more I see of business “strategy” among this layer of “leadership”, the more I’m convinced it is just a game of Jenga with talent, resources, infrastructure, security, quality, etc; pulling out as many pieces as possible in the drive for short term/sighted gains until a company collapses under its own dysfunctional “efficiency” and “success”.

Finish the book, George.

OP’s original post/questions, in case you’re curious. They have quite the history of posting and commenting, receiving substantial downvotes and then deleting or obfuscating. Verdict, troll or puppet account.

Not without buying a lot of folks RVs, at least. #SCROTUS

“American Automakers Refuse to Participate in Race to Make Accessible, Fuel-Efficient Vehicles”

Fixed that title for you, Verge.

Why the closed doors? To quote their own rhetoric, if you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to fear. Oh right, he’s probably bringing receipts from their boss, Putin.

If they left for that reason, they weren’t visiting you, they were visiting your internet connection. :-(
