In May 1856, Brown and his sons killed five supporters of slavery in the Pottawatomie massacre, a response to the sacking of Lawrence by pro-slavery forces. Brown then commanded anti-slavery forces at the Battle of Black Jack and the Battle of Osawatomie.

The QuickBooks ecosystem is a large driver, but they also offer their payment processing via many other paths. Competition in the space is vast, and a good thing, unfortunately most of the competing products are actual garbage.

Turbo Tax is small peanuts for Intuit, they make most of their money from the Payments division.

I could also live without it, myself. There are some very nice conveniences associated with the overall ‘family hub’ suite of functionality, but it’s all bells and whistles and not truly necessary of course. But the partner and our spawn appreciate it and they’re happy, and that’s good enough for me

I mean, I probably can’t disagree with your sentiment in a general sense, I’m just not sure how this refrigerator nonsense is contributing?

It knows because there are cameras inside the fridge and it can recognize the items you put inside and remove, and has logic built around all of these observations.

It’s not perfect but I’m surprised how often it’s accurate, especially in a household that doesn’t give any shits whatsoever about refrigerator organization.

You don’t say? Thank goodness we have your recollection, we certainly wouldn’t want to read the article or anything. 👀

Y’all chrome users?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop changing the subject! We’re talking about COSTS here, bucko! Somebody’s gotta pay!

I know I could search and I will, but asking for anyone else in case I don’t return - got any source? Cause that would be disgusting if true and yet another cause to avoid SB

This is kinda the cheaper method, much less severance to pay when it’s a voluntary separation - from the linked article:

workers who choose not to relocate will be eligible for a one-time voluntary exit program with a cash payment

This is lately referred to as a ‘stealth layoff.’

To any visitors to this thread from the future - yes, this was at the same time that Ukraine was engaged in a defensive war with Russia; and America was kicking out any foreigners it could while ruining the global economy with import taxes.

Crazy, sad times, these were.

Welcome to Lemmy! Just by being here you’re about to find out (whether you like it or not!) just how viable it is to replace (almost) everything in your life with open source alternatives, it’s just seems to be part of the (awesome) culture around here. Enjoy!

Why is advertising ok, but any response in opposition of it, is not?

Two years of negotiations - that’s absurd. How many games/products have been released under the MS umbrella in that same span?

Companies: I know you don’t care, but you can easily treat your employees as shareholders and deliver value to them, just the same as delivering value to customers. You release products iteratively, just treat the people helping to make it happen with some dignity and deliver to them as well.

Why does Thaler want to assign copyright to a non-human so badly, when he could simply take the credit himself?

We can see he made references to the fact that Corporations are considered people (fucking citizens united) in his arguments to the court.

Could someone perhaps use the result of the failed cases in an attempt to get citizens united overturned, based on any precedent set through Thaler’s appeals (assuming they all fail)? Maybe that’s too hopeful of a take?

Ok, thank you for explaining, I thought the context was all Americans who could claim the SS benefit, hence my confusion with your comment. Cheers!

Also (sorry to double comment you) wanted to mention, I don’t think any American has yet had to deal with actually not having SS benefits (I mean generally, in that they still exist, I am not talking about exceptional cases and those where the benefits were taken away legally, if that exists).

From the Gallup article you posted:

Social Security’s future has been a topic of debate for decades. The system is expected to be able to continue to pay full benefits to recipients through 2033 if no changes are made to the system. In 2034, the system is projected to be able to pay 80% of benefits to recipients.

So it could happen in the next decade, but we expect it based on how it’s structured.

If it gets taken away from Americans by some ruling class, I’m pretty sure the reactions will be swift and meaningful. And I’m not even referring to any kind of violence, just normal old social and political and legal actions.

Sorry, I have to have things spelled out for me sometimes - what is your ‘but’?

Agreed, totally, I just don’t think there is any evidence that all of those people (many, many Americans) are Fox News fans or would even want to be in the same room when it’s on the television.
