Well are you factoring in the costs to the automobile like they mentioned? As they say they are a hidden cost and can be quite considerable long term as delivering pizzas adds a lot of wear and tear on a vehicle. When I delivered a LOOOONNNG time ago the costs really did sneak up on me. It was a fun job, and initially I thought it paid well - till I got a couple surprises.

Well, to be fair they are counting streaming ad free versions against cable tvs ad ridden service. Not exactly apples to apples is it. I helped my brother move this weekend and they put Apollo 13 on for my mom to watch (on DIRECTTV Paramount channel). It was still on when we finished. Fucking unwatchable.

But yeah, streaming is starting to not look like such a bargain. And it's going to get worse no doubt. But I quit cable, and I can quit streaming as well. Not sure I even need to pirate, plenty of other low cost entertainment options.

Oh yeah I agree. It's got to be a challenge to bring all his characters and plot lines together. Sadly, I think the show is the only ending we are going to get.

Might give George Martin some incentive to finish Winds of Winter though.

This is a pretty solid app, and I have no regrets purchasing this one.

Is there a reason apps that access file system are getting pushy about having notifications enabled though? I've seen it on a few different apps and solid explorer is especially annoying if you don't enable notifications. It basically gives you 2 prompts urging you to enable notifications every time you move files. The file transfer works perfectly fine without the notifications from what I can see. This has caused me to use a lesser file management app in the meantime. I just don't understand why a file manager HAS to have notifications I guess.

I sent the dev an email about it, but it got ignored.

You just hate to see it.

If you use the voyager app they have an option to migrate subreddits using your multireddit. It basically parses the multireddit and allows you to quickly search for communities that match your old subs. It gives you directions to do it. I found it very helpful.

Agreed. Apples stance on privacy is more about PR and keeping ad competitors at a disadvantage on their platform than actual privacy. Only reason they might not fall in line is if they feel there is enough public opposition to it to get some PR and make Google look bad. Not too optimistic on that though since most people are oblivious to the issue.

Hope the Iemon stealing whores don't steal any of our lemons.

They have been diminishing 3rd party launchers with various updates already. Multitasking gestures broke various things and didn't work well with third party launchers - I think the animations still don't work. The toolbar they added for foldables and tablets only works with the built in launcher. The last one sucks because Samsung made one for the Fold prior to that which was launcher agnostic (was better too imo).

That said, things are still pretty great and it's one thing I hope they never kill off as it allows a crazy amount of customization and personalization. Without it, fuck me might as well get an Apple (well maybe not).

Denying Chinese citizens entry into Russia is "brutal" and "excessive" but bombing schools and hospitals is OK. Just China things.
