Nitter is shutting down
By percent I bet the amount of people using nitter is miniscule, meaning Twitter spent a lot of time making sure a small amount of people can't access the tweets.

A homemade license plate will surely work, sovcit.
A quick Google search shows that 28 CFR 29.1 is regulations for the "Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Act" which allows the attorney general to implement a program where people can put a sticker on their car which means cops can then stop and verify that they're the vehicle owners.
That doesn't mean license plates are optional. Normally I just smirk and move on feeling superior, however they rarely cite something as easy to Google as the CFR.

T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike
I'm on mint, and just waiting for T-Mobile to come after us. Nothing this beautiful can last.

How does data sent over the internet know where to go?
There are things called routers that...route traffic. A dumbed down version is routers talk to other routers to find out what they know about.
If a game server you connect to matches you with someone in Japan, your computer sends a packet with the address in Japan attached to it. Your home router probably has no clue where that is, so it goes to its upstream router and asks if they know, this process repeats until one figures it out and you get a route.
This all happens very quickly, and it's why people say the Internet routes around damage.

What's up with Epic Games?
The multi-billionaire owner with the backing of the Chinese government is claiming that he's the underdog against a popular company/piece of software/GabeN. He's made some poor choices interacting with the community.
Yes, it's probably nice for a publisher to have a guaranteed income, which is why they sell exclusivity. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth, so I choose not to support it.
The rest about the launcher being bad sounds unhinged to me, but some people are really into that.
They bought Rocket League and actively made it worse.

Biden's 2024 dilemma: US economy looks solid, but voters still not feeling it
I make $17k more than I did in 2016, but according to the inflation calculator, I make $15k less than I did in 2016.
The underlying health and future prospects of the economy being positive is great, but things are just eye wateringly expensive compared to a few years ago.

The weird nationalist post 9/11 was rough, but How Do You Like Me Now? is a pretty good revenge song.

Why cant the Middle East just chill out?
The wikipedia article on that piece of land is crazy. Religious zealots have been fighting over it since basically recorded history started.

"We do things a little differently here!"
I once went to a pizza place that had a slogan like "pizza done different" and you went through the a chipotle style line and picked out crust, sauce, toppings, then they made your pizza and gave it to you. I couldn't figure out that was any different from a regular place.

South Korea passes ban on dog meat consumption
Reply in thread
I've got no counterpoint, but I had the same realization, and it has made me question not being vegan. I'm like 80% without trying, but also replacing eggs and cheese is difficult

What's a proper response to another dog attempting to mount your dog multiple times and the owner really not doing anything about it?
Keep your dog away from their dog.

Epic explains why it hasn't sued Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft over 30% fee
Reply in thread
The 30% covers storage, distribution, discovery, and probably more. If you had to implement that yourself you'd wind up with a shittier version for probably more money.

‘They would not listen to us’: inside Arizona’s troubled $53bn chip plant
Reply in thread
I'm not an expert, and definitely talking out of my ass, but maybe the people that have a vested interest in Taiwan not being a part of China may try to dissuade the US from their fabrication efforts to maintain their chip production based relevance on the world stage.
