Tldr: google is now adding tracking via a URL shortener to every link shared via the share menu in chrome.

To weed out people who scrutinize the scam. The same reason scams often have misspelled words. They want people who will react quickly without thinking too hard.

I used to live in a condo and the management company charged a fee if I used ACH from a checking account but nothing if I mailed in a check. My bank would mail checks for free so I did that. It seemed much less convenient for them to have to open and cash all those checks but that wasn’t my problem.

I’m not in a swing state but I still get a decent amount of political spam. It’s mostly random PACs sending clickbait texts asking me to donate. Every so often I get a text from a candidate running in a completely different state and wonder where they got their lists.

to: Dr. Jækel Hydensen and Family would be better in English.

We sometimes send things to “The Hydensen Family” but that does seem to assume that the heads of the family have the same last name.

For #2 in my area people already pay a decent amount more in property taxes if they don’t live in the property. Also companies (and even individuals) usually makes new LLCs for each building they own for liability reasons, so it would have to include a provision for calculating who owns all the LLCs.

My mom got one but she upgraded from a 3 so it’s a big improvement. I got an 8 a couple month ago and see no reason to upgrade. Most of the changes seem to be AI related with very minor hardware improvements.

Book ads are at least usually at the end of the book and for other books you might want to read. And they’re static. If internet ads were like book ads I wouldn’t have to block them.

I wish more creators were on nebula. I would like to support them on patron but $5+ a month per channel adds up really quickly.

My cousin couldn’t understand how I bought groceries after I sold my car. After telling him I walked three blocks to the store he asked how I bought groceries in winter. I told him I put on a coat and boots and walk three blocks to the store.

I love the ingenious solutions for ancient under floor heating.

I’ve put 12000 miles on my trucker and love it, but i still think in an apocalypse I’d want a nice steel single speed (bonus if belt drive). The less maintenance and parts the better.

The official app won’t work with my instance (pixey.org). Pixeldroid does through

As an amateur photographer, I’m still hoping for a Flickr resurgence. Instagram is so restrictive.

I recently bought and then returned a used Verizon pixel 8 because I couldn’t unlock the bootloader or even add a non Verizon eSIM.

Did you move your videos section? Mine is at the top (but I’m also on mobile)

I would guess the military is a large outlier compared to the general population considering all of the physical training soldiers are required to do. People don’t just accidentally gain a bunch of muscle, it takes a lot of hard work.

I have, it works better on Fedora than PopOS or ubuntu. There’s actually a fix for the 17 inch version of my laptop in the main kernel, but it explicitly mentions the full model number so doesn’t apply to my 13 inch version. I spent a long time trying and failing to figure out how to build a kernal with a patch for my model.

I switched to Linux on a laptop of mine because an update to windows caused it to not boot.

Now I get to deal with my keyboard backlight not working, sometimes the keyboard freezing on resume, my Bluetooth not connecting on the first try, and my wifi sometimes not working, but it boots fine every time.

When I dropped my pixel 5a the screen looked like a TV in a horror film. Were they lying for warranty purposes? Otherwise I can’t see a reason not to tell a repair shop what actually happened.
