    My wife was a Christian when we started dating, but her opinions on LGBTQ+ issues made her start questioning her faith which led her to leave the faith altogether by the time we were married.

    I've amended my comment to make it more clear. I didn't mean to imply the app sends your data to third parties, only that the company who owns it profits off of third party information brokering. Where that information comes from is beside the point in my opinion.

    PSA: Nova Launcher's owning company sells their user data. It was a good launcher when it first came out, but it's been nothing but a downward spiral from there.

    Edit for clarity: I don't mean the app itself. It is owned by an entity that exists to sell consumer data.

    Yeah, that's just the stance you take when shooting from a standing position in competition. It's really awkward at first, but it does improve the stability of your aim significantly.

    Well, the others are using pistols, while he's using a rifle.

    I was told this as a fast food manager: do not admit fault, only apologize for the situation the person is experiencing. The second you admit fault, they said, you admit liability for any damages, real or imaginary.

  • Intel Finally Responds to Ongoing CPU Issues - Promises to Release a Patch by Mid-August

    This seems like a CYA by Intel. They're saying that there was a manufacturing issue causing oxidation, by that's not why their CPUs were failing. That was caused by a voltage issue that can be patched, but the bricked CPUs will be refunded/replaced. Like, why admit to two separate issues being present in your product, as a manufacturer, unless it's to mitigate the blowback from one issue in the first place. I don't buy it.

    This is the stance my wife and I are taking lately. I'm native too, so dammit, I was born in this beautiful land, and I'll not let some fucking uneducated Christian rednecks force me to leave.

  • Game dev [Alderon Games] accuses Intel of selling ‘defective’ Raptor Lake CPUs [13th&14th-gen] [ quote: "we have observed that CPUs initially working well deteriorate over time, eventually failing" ]

    I'm surprised Intel hasn't gotten into the planned obsolescence game yet. If your CPU goes out, the easiest, cheapest solution is always a drop-in replacement. Not like you can easily switch to a different brand. Just par for the course for the race to the bottom.

    They're being paid minimum wage. It's not a great job.

    Edit: And apparently they split their tips with the people working on the restaurant too, so I really feel like this is just exploitation.

    I just heard this song for the first time today on Spotify, and I figured some other folks at midwest.social might like it as well as I did.
