higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs

Because the price on the menu then appears lower than what the customer actually pays. It's completely misleading.

YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs

The fact that some videos remain does not mean that some videos haven't been removed

It's GPLv3-licensed and they have some pretty easy documented steps for self hosting. Their github page is linked in the article.The per-user cost is for a hosted solution. Which isn't to say they're not going to pull something shitty in the future.

Millions of research papers at risk of disappearing from the Internet
Reply in thread
except Sci-hub hasn't been adding new papers since 2020. Anna's Archive is a better bet, because they aggregate both sci-hub and libgen, among others. They also make torrents available for data hoarders.

Ambulance hits cyclist, rushes him to hospital, then sticks him with $1,800 bill
Reply in thread
You mean the part of the article where it says the ambulance "turned into him"?
You're making assumptions based on vague wording in the article and your preconceived notions of cyclist behavior. You don't actually know what happened.

Taking the fight to Reddit... FOR MONEY.

I’ll never understand why people attribute to the Russian government what was in the obvious best-interests of the Republican Party and the conservative movement.
Maybe because there was a demonstrated and provable coordinated effort by the Russian government in the 2016 election to get Trump elected? Look up project lakhta. Russian election interference and the efforts of the domestic conservative movement can (and do) exist simultaneously.
What do you have against attributing to the Russian government actions that are demonstrably attributable to the Russian government?

Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM
Reply in thread
Yeah, but they were testing the waters with this one. The hydra's going to grow another head eventually. It'll be interesting to see how/if the media integrity API gets leveraged in the Android Chrome browser. They're eventually going to attack this problem from a slightly different angle.

Remember the $1 grilled cheese truck guy?

It didn't ever actually happen (that I know of) but those trucks should exist everywhere and park right next to overpriced fast food restaurants to exert some economic pressure on them to lower their prices. Shit is ridiculous.

razor blades

I got a can of chicken broth, knocked a slot into the top with a flathead screwdriver and a hammer, poured out the stock and rinsed and dried the can. It lives in the cabinet beneath my sink and I drop my blades in it when I'm done with them. That was about 10 years ago. The thing is maybe a third full.

I wore a pride hat and my conservative co-worker lost her mind.
When you asked if she wanted to bring it to HR, she probably thought you meant Henry Rollins and she knew that wouldn't go well.

Cory Doctorow: Kickstarting a book to end enshittification, because Amazon will not carry it
Reply in thread
True. But it still amounts to them refusing to sell his audio. If you want to be pedantic, Amazon doesn't sell ebooks or audiobooks at all. They sell licenses to access the content. You can argue that Doctorow should be saying that he refuses to market his content in accordance with their policies. But I'm in favor of him framing it this way. It underscores who the real shitheels are here.

I'm an able-bodied handcyclist. Not a wheelchair attachment, but a dedicated handcycle. I've been riding one for over 20 years now. I alternate riding it and riding a leg-powered bicycle. Cycling and hiking are the only exercises I will religiously stick to. I realized that my upper body was being neglected and gave a handcycle a shot.
They are super fun and a great workout. I prefer my handcycle rides tremendously over my to eg-poweted bicycle rides (but I can't skip leg day). I highly recommend trying out a handcycle to anybody who thinks they may be interested.
If you're in the Los Angeles area, and are interested in trying one out, message me. I love introducing folks to handcycles and live down the block from a bike path. I even have a couple for sale that I'd let go at a very reasonable price if anyone wants one. I just don't want to ship them.
