That's just the plot of Aggretsuko, isn't it?

I take issue with the phrase "landlords don't need to lift a single finger"

I'm in the process of selling my house (in the UK) right now so I can move to somewhere cheaper. We have people coming round to view it on maybe a twice- or thrice-weekly basis. I don't even know their names. The estate agent (American: "realtor") handles all of that. I just get a phone call telling me they've got someone who wants to come and view at X date and time, all I have to do is say yes or no then arrange to not be home. It's all included in the frankly breathtaking sum I'm paying the estate agent.

I can't imagine rental properties are different in any meaningful way.

This has to be the weirdest cafe I've seen lately. The breakfast wrap was surprisingly tasty though.

ETA: Based on comments, this isn't all that weird, I'm just out of the loop about Yorkshire wraps being a thing. It was weird to me though.

I think I can live without that particular piece of junk. :)

If I were you, I wouldn't have let it have internet access in the first place. Try a factory reset and don't let it online, and you'll probably not even notice.

I feel the same way. I've won my golden joystick. I don't need to "prove myself".

If it was really all that, Zuck wouldn't be trying to sell it to us, he'd be hoarding it jealously and worshipping its very outputs like the second coming of some Lovecraftian deity.

Is there an up-to-date and, most importantly, good desktop app for Lemmy? My instance is having issues with the web frontend at the moment, it'd be nice to have a backup. Ubuntu 25.04, if that matters.

Just gonna add that Windows 11 Enterprise IoT Edition is Windows 11 without all the bloatware, and it's easy to get it for free from the massgrave.

Unrelated: I gather that judges tend to take a really dim view of people intentionally perverting the course of justice.

I'm an early riser, but not all people are. Some people are more awake in the afternoons, some people don't really wake up until the evenings. So, how come all full-time education seems to start around 9am-10am?

I know that night school is a thing, but that's really targeted at people who want to study over many years around their other commitments (e.g. a day job). I'm talking about full-time three- or four-year bachelor's degrees and above (though exactly the same logic applies to all education really). Surely there's enough demand for at least a couple of top-class full-time education establishments that don't even open their doors until lunchtime?

Some notes based on frequent comments:

  • Not my petition, I'm just sharing it.
  • I don't live in the USA.
  • You can sign a petition and call them to complain. The numbers are downthread.
