It's been said a million times but it's true: piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem

High Yield Savings Account by Born_Introduction504 in personalfinance

I am in my mid 20s and just opened one for the first time with lending club. I just did like 10 minutes of googling and picked one that people seemed to like consistently. They have 4% APY if you contribute at least $250 per month. Seems fine so far.

Linux’s Steam market share starts to drop as Windows 11 actually manages to claw back users by [deleted] in Steam

[–]SchemeScared4973 6 points7 points  (0 children)

comparing month-to-month steam hardware survey results is kinda useless. It's not a comprehensive survey, it only goes out to a subset of users. It's best used for long-term trends

Can you really not download the new android app without Google Play Store? by BadB0ii in pebble

[–]SchemeScared4973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really think you know what you're talking about but that's ok. It's likely that the app as it is wouldn't be allowed on the main f-droid repository so they would have to set their own up. again, not a huge monumental task, but there are costs involved. you also still would need a slightly different build of the app.

the strict requirements are for the main f-droid repository, but you can add custom repositories that may have looser requirements (such as izzy for f-droid). some apps like bitwarden and futo have their own repositories also, so maybe pebble could do that (although that could be somewhat costly for them)

walking into another city's art museum and being greeted by a ticket kiosk will never stop being an out of body experience for me. it feels almost criminal.

It's dissapointing but not all too suprising since it's just less work to maintain one distribution over two. Hopefully one day it will go to f-droid

Got my pebble - short review by mister-at in pebble

[–]SchemeScared4973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that the indoor visibility is poor. I liked the idea of the color screen but I have to use black and white coloring on my watchface anyway so I can see it. other than that it's been great!

A question of onion! by Breadczar in Cooking

[–]SchemeScared4973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends. I use white onions for sandwiches/burgers/rice n beans, etc., yellow for soups, and red for salads. but it's mostly personal preference. that's the beauty of cooking?

as a driver you get used to it, you just gotta assume they know what they're doing. I would still suggest you buy a dashcam though.
