Walmart also partnered with Klarna if that means anything to folks reading this. I've seen for years companies like Affirm (AFRM) being backed heavily by Shopify (they have exclusive deals at this point and AFRM is one of Klarna's direct competitors). The BNPL universe is coming for everything, including basic necessities like food now I guess. Affirm is also close with Amazon.

If you turn it on its side it's a tunnel.

Check out Way Down Town filmed in and about Calgary's +15 urban walkway system. Hilarious film.

• Swindled - Mostly white-collar true crime with dark humor and disdain aplenty.
• 404 Media - The folks who used to do the Cyber podcast before they left VICE and are doing far better work, indy.
• Better Offline - Another tech podcast by Ed Zitron. He loves tech and can't stand how fucked up the tech-bros are making the whole thing, at our collective expense.

I've always liked Commento which can be self hosted, and you can set it up to be no sign-up/anon for users.

Thank you lemm.ee admins and welcome new folks! Newcomers, you picked the best instance by the way.

Shopify is already long gone. More pointing out how corruption follows the money. Nobody in sales of a top company is unaware of the fuckery going on inside said company.

A middle ground I do often is buy frozen pizzas and then add my own extra toppings. They're usually so cheap and skimp anyhow that I look at it like buying a starter pizza shell.

Everybody poops

lemme.ee doesn't

Just watched this on YT (unrelated to this post) and it's a fantastic upload. They're already achieving 1m/hr drilling speed which stomps traditional bit-drill tech by a lot. And they can go way deeper.

Given that all Lemmy instances are run by private individuals you should probably think about using a vpn (or dns proxy at the very least) to obfuscate your true location and data. This applies to any mainstream or corporate social media platform, obv.

They're anti-tax and pro-tarif. They've been firing Canadian support workers and devs for years and outsourcing overseas. And they've been hiding money in places like Ireland (a tax haven) by opening hubs there.

They are only still in Canada on paper at this point anyhow. Fuck them, go hang out with the wall street bros.
