I don't know any. Maybe I just have a better social circle than most. Or maybe this is a fake number. There are not as many people preordering this clearly fake device, instead this is just another way to launder money.


> I just have a better social circle

This is very subjective. You can have your own opinions, but its really important to remember everybody has a right to their own too.


I didn’t see anything in his post saying people shouldn’t have the right to associate with trash.

We also all have the right to judge people for their associations. You’re right to an action or belief doesn’t make it inherently good, or even equal to other actions and beliefs.


> You’re right to an action or belief doesn’t make it inherently good

The fact you are randomly calling people trash supports your theory!


Getting scammed is objectively bad. If you're surrounded with people who are routinely getting scammed by Donald Trump of all people, that's bad. That doesn't mean they're bad people but... something is going on there for sure.


Perhaps you have no relatives.


Ghostty is an example of a program that gives you a bunch of different icons to choose from and an easy way to customize it even further.

I don't know any other


Plex does - if you give them money. A lot of app packages offer customizable icons provided you give them money for the privilege.

I disagree with this approach, and vendors that lock such changes down. If a user wants to replace every single app icon with a PNG or SVG of their choosing, that should be permissible at the OS-level. Users should always have the final say over their interface choices, and corporate or software-maker changes regarding aesthetics/interfaces should never override what the user has chosen for themselves.

Right now there's strong overlap in interfaces and experiences that make this difficult, if not impossible to execute on. Separating the two again is critical for computing to be accessible to all, as is maintaining a consistent experience throughout interface changes.


GitHub official app icon on iOS is also configurable with ~40 variants.


Same here. My big purchase for Black Friday last year was an OLED TV.

This year was prescription glasses.


bf related, I bought: 1) trail mix 2) licorice 3) books on diy house / carpentry

not bf related but happened this week: 1) cv axles for my car ~500 and will install myself

i am employed and just make it into 6 figures $110k, which apparently is poverty level now if you have a few dependents. i consider myself fortunate.


Outsourcing of software dev to India and support to Latin America. Paying pennies and charging high fees. They get contracts to all sorts of big companies like telecoms and manufacturers


Because in most cases, it's not about the quality of the product. I've had cases where using a (free, open source) reverse proxy to implement SSO and TLS termination would save 5-digit figures (on the side closer to 6 digits) yearly from upgrading the licensing a product we used. That was rejected because then we wouldn't have anyone to point our finger at if something goes wrong with the product. It's about the "support contracts", not about the products themselves.

Which is in itself a fucking joke because now everything is outsourced to some clueless person in a call center half-way around a world, or you get to chat with an LLM. Either way, it has been ages since the "support contracts" actually resulted in a problem that wasn't ultimately solved by ourselves, not them.


As usual buzz words mean little to nothing.

The goalpost is always moving.

Definitions change to fit the narrative each one is trying to push at the time.


This link is dead already. Not sure if this is correct, it truly is confusing.


> Deleted the below posts out of an abundance of caution. Despite the words of the Proclamation, an unnamed White House official told New York Times that they intend to apply the $100,000 only to new applicants only.

> If that is correct, the implications are not as urgent.

> unnamed White House official told

In important cases like this one should read the bill's text and not watch some random video on the Internet which has no legal power.


> "bill's text"

Oh, how quaint, as if this significant change went through the normal lawmaking process that involves bills and Congressional approval, instead of the new rule by executive order fiat.


Also unemployed for the last 3 years after a layoff. Partially on purpose because I felt I needed a pause to recharge but I kept extending because money was not a problem due to stonks going up.

I learned react, go. Played videogames and had a child. Things are going well.

Part of me is afraid that too much time off the market will make me not fit for the workforce anymore but tbh I feel like my mental health really needed this.

Now I'm faced with a dilemma. Go back to my home country where I probably could retire now at 40 or stay here and try to get back to work. Trump administration has been making my decision easier by the day.


> Go back to my home country where I probably could retire now

May want to consider that things won’t stay the same price for 40 years?


If the money is invested, it should be fine.


This. If the money is invested it should about follow inflation.


Bolívia is a crazy scary place


Apparently not as scary as 80 other places.


Pixel phones are rarely full price. Right now you can get it on Google Fi for $450.

They run promos around the clock. iPhones OTOH are never discounted.


For existing Fi users, it's $450 off, plus another $200 in store credit for the Pro models (not money off since it's parked in Google Store, but if you're buying accessories or other items over the next year it's like money). Selling my old phone brings the price of a 10 Pro down to around $400 (not counting the $200 store credit).

If you sign up for Fi when buying the phone, the deals are pretty enticing: $300 off right away, $500 more in Fi bill credits over 24 months. I think you also get the $200 store credit too.


you don't get $200 in store credit if you take fi $450 offer.
