I thought they were taking the piss with the $30, is that for real?

I used to live in Morocco and I paid about $3 a month for free deliveries with their local equivalent.

They didn’t get to choose the apartment they lived in, they couldn’t own them, they were often basic with communal kitchens and bathrooms. It’s a good thing they were free because the wages were low, and people were assigned jobs so there was little they could do to improve their careers, not that skilled people got paid much more.

I have no idea what’s happening but if I know Lemmy then the community is overreacting.

I hope so. I was on Reddit yesterday and even the super obscure subs often get more co rent than the biggest ones here.

There are laws, TikTok is almost certainly breaking them.

Awful?

Communism has a 100% success rate.

I’ve got two Thinkpads and I always use the Trackpoint. The touchpad’s gathering dust.

From reading the article it just sounds like they’re turning Thinkpads into normal laptops.

What kind of meat is that? It looks disgusting.

Wasn’t there any article a few days ago explaining that it was the anaesthesiologist who would be taking the bill and it was all an effort to stop medical professionals overcharging?

I mean, I use Linux but I’ve used a lot of Windows in the past. I don’t find either of them particularly more stable than the other. I had blue screens a few years ago on my laptop and that turned out to be faulty RAM. I haven’t had a Windows-caused BSOD in years. And all this talk of Windows suddenly starting an update while I’m using it, I’ve literally never had that happen.

Is this kind of stupid rhetoric that sows the divide in US politics and it’s why places like Lemmy and Reddit are just echo chambers. Just saying people who have the opposite few are stupid and should be ignored does nothing to address their concerns and they still get a vote at the end of the day.

Do some people actually get these messages? It sounds almost illegal. I get emails from management moaning at me for not using my annual leave and reminding me to take them before they reset.

I’m keeping an eye on Mr Tumble, protégé of Philip Schofield.

People who laugh at beans on toast haven’t tried beans on toast. At least not with English baked beans.

I’ve seen this reference so many times, can someone explain it?

It’s crazy that the “I’m feeling lucky” button still exists, I probably haven’t clicked it in 20 years (though I’ve been using DDG for like the last five).

I use light mode because I’m not a goth.

What’s a middle of the month paycheck? Are some people getting paid twice a month?

Kids nowadays honestly have no idea how much work it was to get a photo then compared to now. We had to go out, buy a roll of film with like 24 photos on it, take the photos without having a clue what they looked like, and knowing we only had a limited amount, then we mailed them off and waited like a week for them to come back. If someone was blinking or your dumbass kid (me) was pulling a stupid face then you were stuck with it.
