Because public schools have to compete with private schools, the uniforms make them look comparable and has more of an effect on the parents perception of value of the school.

Each public school gets funding dependant on enrolment, the end result is absurd pricing for single income parents. When I was in High School we could get a $7 shirt from Big W and look identical to other students minus the logo.

I’ve just been playing Valorant, might get back into Age of Empires 2.

I’m sure they got better, but they never won me back, that original feeling of disappointment is still associated with the games for me.

From what I understand, the game was recently moved to AWS, which makes regional servers significantly easier and cheaper.

Now if only ESO could do the same…

Have you tried DietPi

[🆕 Cosmos 0.12 - HUGE update! All in one secure Reverse-proxy, container manager with app store, integrated VPN, and authentication provider, now has a Full Monitoring suite with alerts and notifications (including presets for anti crypto miner hacks!) 📈📊 ~reddit

Usenet is paid, usually 2+ subscriptions, a Usenet/backbone provider + an indexer.

That’s how it should work, but many services have been increasing pricing with email warnings for the last decade.

My friend has PS+ and it has multiplied in price for 3-month intervals without him ever confirming the new price. He’s had it for a decade without touching it and genuinely wouldn’t know he’s being charged so much more than he agreed to if I didn’t tell him.

This is in Australia which normally has better protections for consumers, but it’s possible we don’t in this case as it’s happened to me with every subscription I’ve ever had they send a n email and then start charging an amount I never agreed to.

The only exception was AEW+ via Fite.tv which was in USD, that was the only time I ever lost my sub when the price changed, which given it went up +40% I was glad they handled it respectfully.

RX570 level.

The new 7840U AMD laptop processor has integrated graphics at a total 15W.

Our rollout was severely impacted by political interests, but the Australian government tackled this at a national level with building a National Broadband Wholesale network for all the ISP retailers to resell.

It was a lot easier however given how underfunded our existing monopoly telco left the old network.

Unfortunately Rupert Murdoch stated in New York to shareholders that the network would undercut their Australian business, they then used their 67% newspaper market share to back the opposing party and have them downgrade the rollout of the network from fibre to copper.

Now half the country can’t get a full 100mbps and the upload isn’t synchronous for 99% of households.

I meant in the case where it would be hurtful, obviously it wouldn’t be reasonably hurtful to say it in a context which it isn’t, that was the point of what I was saying.

I would say the same words if I had a reason to discuss whichever word, neither of us are directing it to a person with an explicit intent to cause harm.

It’s a frequent occurrence in Reddit that I read a typed out “Letter-word”, not knowing what swear/slur as the same letter could mean multiple different words in my regional English dialect.

What frustrates me is that words that could harm require effort to ensure the context is clear and respectful, people who just swap it with a Letter-word don’t care enough to treat what they are saying with importance.

I’ve previously asked what a comments letter-word was referring to as I couldn’t even find it via Google, the responses where downvotes and being told I should know what it means.

Hurtful words either shouldn’t be said at all, or if being referred to need to be treated with delicacy and respect as if their harm matters, saying them while not saying them is the laziest and most disrespectful way of handling that.

I think there is more room with another Android based OS akin to FireOS, a fully Microsoft version of Android, with their desig language over top of what wouldn’t need porting outside of Google based dependencies.

If your gaming is eSports, your battery life would benefit from an AMD iGPU rather than an NVIDIA GPU.

7840U for the CPU which is integrated graphics.

v2.0 is all well and good, but it’s still 3 years after I bought it, not giving them the benefit of the doubt next time.

I’ve found Usenet backbone+indexer to be the same price as VPN while being significantly faster to download, no seeding required.

It allows more complicated setups like radarr+sonarr which download episodes as they come out, at around your internet speed.

Given the decline in service quality and the increase of 8.8 million subs in a quarter, they can continue being worse for more and the general public will support it.

The only thing I care about is quality shows being made from good networks, still getting their funding, but streamers are turning into trash TV from the 2000’s.

I had seen that today, I was already annoyed that one of my users can’t cache/download from my server despite that not being a restriction for general server users at the time of purchase.

I was aware of the workaround, but as most of my users are outside my home, I did not want to bind their accounts to mine, I just wanted to share my personal server with their independent accounts.

I should be happy that today’s addition is more than what we had yesterday, but I am still disappointed at what is an arbitrary restriction for the purpose of upselling to my users, something I had thought I had paid for future development of and is not useful or appropriate enough to justify the cost to them.

I had decided that I should pay for current and future feature development for my server and its users, I now feel that the features I payed in advanced for are being paywalled in a way that is unlikely to garner more income from my friends/families and only results in me getting less out of what I thought I paid for, personally I don’t use my server as much as it was intended for those users.

I think I’ve made more posts/comments in the last fortnight, than the last year on Reddit.

I’ve been posting interesting articles to nearly half a dozen communities each per day, even if nobody is responding.

I believe it’s worth it to have this activity for those who pass by and see how many people showed up to the party before them.
