I dislike this for so many reasons, but I laughed out loud which means I am legally obligated to upvote
binomialchickento Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home.English1·1 month agoChoose a house with 1 extra room, courtesy of your WFH savings.
An itemized cost paid straight by your employer will have the effect of encouraging them to waste less of your time with a commute. They might try to hire locally, might pay for moving expenses, might keep you out of rush hour traffic, might be worried about keeping you late such that now you’re driving on overtime, might actually align their concerns with the planet’s by reducing all the oil going literally up in flames to transport people around to do knowledge work in a cubicle.
binomialchickento Technology@lemmy.world•China cut itself off from the global internet on WednesdayEnglish11·1 month agoNot HTTPS necessarily, but lots use TLS over 443. If you are sending something like login credentials to an online service, it makes sense for the servers to use what is universally available instead of reinventing the wheel. Also, some games may use a launcher that uses HTTPS if they are web-based in some fashion, or maybe the game will use it for certain kinds of API calls unrelated to actual gameplay.
If you are playing a game that uses a dedicated server (or just isn’t a competitive game at all), then TLS usage is probably unlikely, but those games aren’t lucrative for the account boosting/currency farming that makes cheating so rampant in China anyway.
Even signing up for some games requires you to create an account on their website first.

And everyone in between🥰🥰🥰
binomialchickento Technology@lemmy.world•Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time EverEnglish1·3 months agoYeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.
It’s the US, so more weapons I presume.
Saw midwest.social, was not disappointed

binomialchickento World News@lemmy.world•A dozen Tesla cars burned at French store, arson is suspected amid global protestsEnglish1·7 months agoInsurance generally does not cover arson, but I don’t know if their policy specifically does. If it was covered, the insurance company is going to consider raising the premiums for coverage. If enough dealerships have to make claims due to arson, all dealerships may have increased premiums, or may even become uninsurable, which would likely stop them from operating at all.

I was offended at first glance, but then remembered that there were two shootings at my old apartment, and I have a cop friend of a friend that regularly posts dashcam footage from his car chase of the week in the discord. I’m also kinda fat, so the rest seems to check out.
binomialchickento Antiwork@lemmy.ml•Let it grow and flourish. Parasites should be eradicated.English2·10 months agoYou are absolutely right, random acts of violence will result in more problems. That’s why: “You know, if you had one day, like one real rough, nasty day, one rough hour, and I mean real rough, the word will get out and it will end immediately. End immediately. You know, it’ll end immediately.”
binomialchickento News@lemmy.world•Crypto entrepreneur eats banana art he bought for $6.2mEnglish1·10 months agoDo you feel the same way about centralized currency’s apparatuses? Visa, MasterCard, Chase, BoA, PayPal, the U.S. Mint, the FBI’s anti-counterfeiting department, point-of-sale terminal manufacturers, etc. These all use so much more resources than all of crypto combined, not to mention the human lives wasted to support it all.
You say that if crypto disappeared, nothing would happen. I posit that if fiat currencys disappeared (and were replaced by a crypto that isn’t energy intensive) that you would have a net improvement to global society. You could hand out lifelong annuity/pension/UBI for all the displaced workers, pay them to dump all the executives/shareholders at the bottom of the ocean, and still have excess money left over. All those former bank tellers would have time to pursue their interests, and maybe produce some music/art/whatever for the rest of us along the way. (Bitcoin and proof-of-work’s energy waste do need to be trashed though.)
If tips are bad, the worker quits. If sales are bad, the worker is fired and might collect unemployment benefits.
