I was leaning towards Duolingo being incorrect as well. But in the past we had:

1. Minulla on uusi poikaystävä.
2. Minulla on poikaystävää.

But silently #2 was changed to:

Minulla on poikaystävä.

However in this case we are talking about a single boyfriend, not the vastness of deep blue water.

We are rushing to the end of s2, I know we're already missed the s3 premiere. But I hope to be current by e4.

We have always liked watching shows as they are released rather than binging, unless trying to get current.

The wife and I finished Discovery season 2. I let her know that I only wanted to get her to the point at which SNW spun off from Discovery and we could skip the rest of the series if she wanted.

We watched a few more episodes of SNW and are about half through season 2. We also watched some more Lower Decks getting well into season 2.

I would really like to see sharing improved and get an actual link and be able to select if I want to share from op's instance, the post's instance, or my own.

And on Mac there is that I see no way to get an actual link only share it to apps.

I switched from a Logitech m570 to an elecom track ball that is now gone. But replaced by the ek-g https://elecomusa.com/products/m-xt2urbk-g

Edit: I said etekcity when I meant elecom

Should vs must

A guideline is something you should do, where a rule is something you are required to do.

I do the same. She is such a prolific poster, and I really do not think she has the time to read 1/2 of what she posts. I think she sees the title of an article and posts it.

How else am I supposed to get the eyes of ibad?

In the rare instance that I need a chromium browser, I use chromium. But there are very few websites for which I need it and I think I have found alternatives for them all.

Looks are not the only reason to date someone, otherwise op's mom never would have had a date.

The Google account's recovery is tied to a phone number, and the Facebook account wanted me to identify pictures or ask friends for help.

I was not trying to take over those accounts, merely stop all of the emails. I have contacted both Google and Facebook about it and have done nothing in 5+ years.

lol that was actually my weekly stock check call. I happened to ask about the Space Wolves Combat Patrol while on the call.

Not my work, it is from a saved comment by @cannedtuna@lemmy.world in a now deleted post.

This is a very well written an thorough article and I highly recommend reading it. If you don't want to however, here is a summary of the key points:

• Brendan Eich's anti-LGBTQ+ political involvement
• • Brendan Eich donated to anti-LGBT political organizations, politicians, and initiatives such as CA Prop 8 which banned same-sex marriages.
• 2016 — Brave Browser promises to replace webpage ads
• • Brave promised to replace ads with privacy friendly ads that would actually pay publishers and even users with a volatile cryptocurrency while keeping a cut for themselves. This never actually came to life and was criticized as "blatantly illegal".
• 2018 — Brave runs a questionable donation campaign
• • Brave collected donations for popular content creators without actually involving or seeking consent from said creators. In short they accepted donations in crypto for creators, but would only pay out if it reached a minimum value of $100. When called out, Brave said refunds were impossible.
• 2020 — Brave injects referral links when visiting crypto wallets
• • Brave injected their own referral links for services such as Binance without informing users or asking permission.
• 2020 — Brave puts ads in user's home screens
• • Brave turned their home screen image rotator into a place to serve ads, many of which were suspicious or crypto related.
• 2021 - Brave ships an insecure Tor feature
• • Brave added a Tor feature which exposed users DNS requests
• 2023 - Brave hides their crawlers to websites
• • Brave refuses to disclose their crawler bot to websites since many websites want to block Brave Search. Brave will only chose not to crawl a website if it also blocks Google's crawler.
• 2024 - So-called "privacy browser" deprecated advanced fingerprinting protection
• • Brave removed a the Strict, Block Fingerprinting privacy feature from their browser.
• And More!
• • Brave paid for targeted ads for users searching for Firefox in the Play Store and ran a campaign to "Forget the Fox". When called out on this the VP publicly denied it and claimed it was photo-shopped.
• • The VP of Brave, Luke Mulks, frequently posts about all things crypto, from NFTs to FTX, and uses AI-gen images to promote them. He also frequently re-tweets right-wing activists.
• • Brendan Eich's feed also frequently contains right-wing content and Republican propaganda despite his claims to be "independent".

Edit: corrected a mistake noted below.

Whether it affects inflation or not, it is having a negative impact on my small business. I own a brick and mortar game shop, people are spending far less than normal. They are worried about food and other necessities to be able to spend on leisure.

January and June are the only two months I have not had to play rent and other bills for the shop out of savings. I have not had to do that for 6 years, not even during COVID.
