My town does this at the city square. It started with all of the businesses around the square getting together to give out candy. Then the next year more people showed up for it. Then last year the city took over, did no advertising and almost no one showed up for it. Heck we went to another area to give out candy because we did not know. This year the city did it again, with zero advertising. There was a decent turn out for kids, but very few people giving out candy.

Our town is small and old, there are huge gaps between houses, much more so than when we lived in the city.

Oh no! Pink soap.

Yes. It has been a while since I moved (whenever the first breach was), but I exported from lastpass and imported to Bitwarden with minimal issue, I think I had to add a column.

I get that on Lemmy too.

Because i want to use TikTok.

I remember learning all metric in elementary school in the early to mid 80s much to my mother’s chagrin (any thing I learned that was different than what/how she learned in Catholic school was bad, including a second language). Then having to relearn standard in middle school. I still have to count all of the lines on a tape measure.

I suppose that taking a comment and adding breasts is a reasonably-straightforward, mechanical way to make it more appealing.

This does kind of suggest a potential endgame for what avatars wind up looking like.

Is it though?

Every artist, performer and creator on Patreon is about to get screwed out of 30% of their gross revenue, which will be diverted to Apple

Yes, it makes it sound as though everyone is about to start losing the 30% to Apple No matter how their subscribers pay. Which if you read patreon’s blog post you will see is not the case.

There are a number of other options listed, but that is one of them.

Years ago I switched from Spotify to Napster. Do not recommend. Napster would a single album missing from a bands discography for no apparent reason, and sometimes a song from an alum was missing.

I reluctantly went back to Spotify, but after the last price hike I switched to tidal. I was able to import all of my play lists. It does not have all of the lyrics that Spotify did, but it does have a lot. Tidal does not do a great job of holding my place in a song between listening sessions. I can control what is playing on a different device. I do not use it, so I do not know how well it works.

Apple’s fee will not impact your existing members. It will only affect new memberships purchased in the iOS app from November onward.

Which is contradictory to the first line of the linked essay. Does it suck? Yes. But the author of this “article” is trying to build anti-Apple outrage with this piece. Let’s not pretend any company is altruistic. Even Patreon takes a cut.

This happened with me and Robinhood.

You pegged it!

Their “deal” pizza went from $5.99 in ~2010 to $6.99 and now $7.99. I do not remember when the changes happened exactly, but I do remember back around 2010 ordering the pizza at that price when our friend group would get together to watch Doctor Who.

The $6.99 to $7.99 increase happened in the last yearish (I checked an order email from May 2023 and it was $6.99). I only get delivery when I am at work and my wife is unable to bring dinner, but I know the delivery fee has been increasing too.

ETA: went and looked back further at order emails, in June 2022 it was $5.99. My earliest order email is from 2012, and they were $5.99 then as well. So at least 10 years at $5.99.

Edit2: the $7.99 is because of the extra toppings. Medium pizzas are still $6.99 with coupon. I was up way past my bedtime last night, thus the mistake.

I replicated the order using their coupons. It saved $2, almost $3. But it’s for a medium pizza.

you can also celebrate the lightness that comes from not having the data anymore.

For years after my son’s suicide I backed up our texts. From one daily android update to the next, phone after phone. I always bought a phone that I knew I could root so I could ensure the ability to restore these backups. Then I got careless during one rom flash and lost them. It was a huge weight lifted when that happened. I realized that I had never once gone and reread any of them since the week after his death. And the constant backing up caused so much stress.

That is why I only drink pure vegetable oil.

AdGuard works just great for me on iOS.
