News@lemmy.world•Trump scraps tariffs on beef, coffee and tropical fruit in a push to lower grocery store pricesEnglish
174·1 天前as if that’s all it took to lower prices. companies are gonna look at this as ‘free profit’ and keep them high, pocketing the ‘savings’ for as long as they can.

Linux@programming.dev•Canonical extends Ubuntu LTS support again - if you payEnglish
6·1 天前my guess is someone big wants it and offered to pay enough to fund it, so canonical is just opening up the same support timeframe to anyone willing cough-up some cash.
adarza@lemmy.catoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•USDA head says 'everyone' on SNAP will now have to reapplyEnglish
18·1 天前checks?. these moronic clowns don’t even know what the fuck they’re raging about.
i bet even shitstain donnie could count the number of ‘blue states’ sending checks for snap benefits.
(hint: it’s ZERO. checks are not used for snap benefits–ebt debit cards are, and it was the iconic coupons known as ‘food stamps’ before that).

news@lemmings.world•Cheetos and Doritos are turning down the orange color — and yes, it is a Trump thingEnglish
7·2 天前it’s because the feds are continuing their work towards elimination of artificial colorings from foods. the shit stain is just the president currently, it has nothing to do with the negative connotations of being the reference color for the shitstain’s choice of spray tan.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are physical mail generally not under surveillance? If everyone suddently ditched electronic communications and start writing letters, would governments be able to surveil everyone? (Is it practial?)English
151·4 天前pictures are taken by sorting machines of every piece of mail that goes through usps. that data is retained by the usps for a period of time, and is open to ‘law enforcement’ on request; and who knows what really happens to that data when the usps doesn’t want to hold it any longer.
rotisserie chickens are bred for that purpose and their lives are cut short to meet the cost and weight targets of the largest customers (walmart, etc), which means the facilities can produce ‘more’ in the same amount of time than roasters. they cost $6-10 here and $5-6 on sale (higher $ is at the regional convenience store chain, lower is wm), and i can frequently find ‘old’ ones in the cooler at wm marked down to $2 (yea, just two bucks each).
roasters are larger, priced by weight, and usually cost more (per bird) than rotisserie chicken. here, they’re $10-12 at wm, $15 and up at the ‘local’ grocery store. they’re rarely on sale.
and some are, apparently, obscure af:
“an issue with decoding LucasArts Smush codec, specifically the first 10-20 frames of Rebel Assault 2, a game from 1995.”
the dude is a clearly a product of that 48th out of 50 public education system… and the only sitting u.s. senator without at least a bachelor’s degree.
the blood isn’t being “lost”, just “redirected”

News@lemmy.world•Anti-Trump groups urge holiday boycott of Amazon, Home Depot, Target over DEI backtrackEnglish
7·5 天前tgt’s last quarterly loss (negative net income) was over a decade ago, and it was just one quarter.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I hate it when people use pictures showing the condiments only on top of a hot dog.English
5·5 天前relish from the grocery store has gotten so cheaply made you have to strain it first. even, and especially, the mass market ‘name brands’. i did run across one super off-brand, imported from turkey or india or something, that was great, though… and like half the store brand price.
so unless i have that or strain the ‘regular’ stuff first, or just cut-up some pickles instead (what i’ve been doing more of lately), the relish goes on top. everything else goes on first.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump says he'll issue $2,000 tariff dividend to all except 'high-income people'English
11·6 天前so the new magat plan is to try to buy the midterms using cash borrowed from our great-grandkids after they ‘save’ the country from the ‘democrat shutdown’?

News@lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani is pushing for New York City-run grocery stores. Here's what he envisions.English
24·7 天前that’s exactly the goal of the program.
there’s something like one grocery store per 1500 residents in new york (far more, per capita, than my entire county).
many residents have multiple options nearby, but some (around 750,000) do not live within 5 blocks of even just one. those are the neighborhoods this program would target.
these city-run stores are not intended to serve ‘everybody’, just those who aren’t served by anything.
take a look at endless os.
https://www.endlessglobal.com/foundation/access/operating-system
specifically, the ‘full’ install with all the goodies and content ‘preinstalled’.
notes from personal experience (i use endless at home): don’t be tempted by the ability to install alongside windows and dual boot. it’s not optimal by any stretch. that configuration uses windows as the boot manager (windows has to basically boot to get to that menu), and endless and its data is then stored in a loop device (slow, especially with old hdd). do a normal install (use the ‘advanced’ option in the windows installer to make an ‘endless usb stick’ then choose the ‘full’ image). you will need a 64gb flash drive for an english language ‘full’ installer of the current (6.0.8) version.

Linux@lemmy.world•Distro Recommendation Discussion (Not a 'What Distro Should I Use?' Post)English
31·7 天前wubi was the old ‘install along side windows’ installer for ubuntu. i used it for awhile before moving linux to dedicated hardware.
edit: note that wubi has been undeveloped and unsupported for years. the closest thing i’ve run across lately is endless os. i use a base endless os installed like this on one of my systems.

News@lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani is pushing for New York City-run grocery stores. Here's what he envisions.English
29·7 天前focusing on food deserts, or areas with limited access to full-service supermarkets,
he isn’t out to take on the competition to ‘drive down’ prices, but rather to serve neighborhoods that have no stores…where you have to walk a half hour just to get a carton of milk and a loaf of bread.
