Life, uh, finds a way

What is number w number

Protip: Preheat first to save time

Wow, that’s wild to me. I looked at this and thought “not a bad deal, though why would I want soda at breakfast”. A “full breakfast” (not sure what goes into the English part), but something like eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries, and pancakes, would be like $12. Coffee another $2.50.

Where do you live that this would be cheaper? 🤔

I’d eat the fuck out of that

Creepy paper

No

Oh interesting.

But you can sell apple gift cards on eBay, yeah? Sure you won’t get the full value, but you get most of it. And as you said, in this case Roblox is taking a cut for the conversion anyway.

So it seems like they could’ve washed their hands of this by making Robux transferable/ebayable: the “casinos” would still exist, they would still benefit from the popularity of the casinos, and the Robux are still “worth something”. But they got too greedy and dug too deep by trying to become the “eBay” in the situation and take a cut off both ends, and now they might be forced to make Robux effectively worthless.

outside the Roblox ecosystem

I have no love for Roblox, but if it’s a completely different website, isn’t this kinda…not their fault?

It sounds like those IRS scams that want you to pay with iTunes gift cards – no one claims that Apple is running the scam.

The article claims they were aware and didn’t stop it, and that’s why they are at fault. Maybe they could’ve revoked the API keys for those gambling sites? But is that even how it’s set up? (I don’t actually know how Robux work.)

I’m not an infra dev, but a previous project used SOPS and it seemed alright

AI firms will just scrape anyway.

Not if deletes don’t propagate well.

Not a guarantee, but a reasonable effort would be good.

Consider doxxing. It would be better if instances propagated delete requests to the fullest extent possible so that that information would be as hard as possible to find.

But what about the shareholders?!

Yeah the stuff popping in while scrolling is weird and can be a bit aggravating.

Last I checked (which admittedly was a few years ago), Plex was the only thing that could add subtitles to something being Chromecast’ed. That’s the primary way I watch things on my actual TV, and since apparently I’m deaf AF and need subtitles for everything, Plex was the best choice. The others would’ve required processing stuff with handbrake ahead of time.

Bought a lifetime subscription though and it’s been well worth it.

What does that make Teams? 😛

They’ve since walked back a bit, but the writing is now on the wall.

Discord still runs way better than Slack though.
