Yes why do you think they make you pay with your card or Walmart app if they can help it? So they can track your purchases

And so at small stores ran by local owners who can’t afford surveillance equipment and aren’t obsessed with profit

At least Lemmy is open source and there isn’t any advanced analytics running and telling server operators exactly what you look at and for how long. And if there was, it would be discovered quickly and you could host your own instance and only look at content locally.

Your posts aren’t private. But that’s the whole point so that they can be seen and federated

I disagree that Reddit has good content but even bad content is better than no content for communities that haven’t been built here yet

Mostert cut by dolphins. I’d expect another good year by Achane. I don’t know if anyone will pick up Mostert with good injury history

Seems like a pretty reasonable place to draw the line in the sand. Most people can’t safely manage their data and communication privacy because they aren’t tech people and as much as apple’s privacy stances are mostly marketing related. Out of the box and low configuration it’s more secure and private than using a stock Google device.

Encrypted at rest data storage with ADP, encrypted messaging, zero touch VPN with safari private browsing. It’s easy to recommend Apple products to privacy conscious but not tech literate friends. Or at least it was until the pivot to bend the knee to the current administration

Not that I’m aware of but Butterfinger BBs were a perfect poppable snack so it’s probably a good thing

Shoutout to [email protected] by the way. You’ve made it to Friday Sailers!

Id like to give an honorable mention to Shanghaied (where they become indentured to the Flying Dutchman)

Probably either Bandgeeks or Hibernation

Maybe OP should touch grass if he wants to know what real people think

How did you do this season? (self.fantasyfootball)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by TORFdot0 to c/fantasyfootball
 

Well, the 2023 season is now in the books. Congrats to [email protected] for winning our community league!

How did everyone in this community finish in their other leagues? I hope to hear that we have a lot of championship winners!

 

I’m really intrigued by the video, and the concept but why? 10 years ago I would have loved it, but this guy is wayyyyyy too long.

 

It’s the semis in most leagues. One win away from the championship. We have games all weekend into Monday this week so I’m starting the game thread a bit early.

Good luck to all of you in the playoffs and a Merry Christmas to those who partake. Leave your comments on the games below!

 

It’s round 1 of the playoffs in most leagues. Hope you had a good Saturday. If you started LaPorta, Chandler, Addison, or Amon-Ra you did!

Poor weather expected for Cowboys vs Bills and Falcons vs Panthers so downgrade those kickers and upgrade the defenses.

Tonight we have Baltimore vs Jacksonville on the docket and Monday we have the Seahawks and eagles in the first ever flexed Monday night football game.

Best of luck to everyone in the playoffs, and better luck next year for those of us who missed out on the sweet nectar of the playoffs. Leave your comments on todays action below!

 

While I’m dubious of the claim due to the robust permissions management in the latest versions of iOS and Android, it is interesting that a company has come out and said they are doing what everyone is thinking.

And yes they are a subsidiary of the parent of Cox Communications, the ISP, so I would be switching to a competitor ASAP if I had their services

 

Congrats to @MooDib @TORFdot0 @TheDaveAbides @Holomew as the four playoff teams in the inaugural season of the community fantasy league.

It turns out that default settings for the playoffs are 2 weeks per matchup for both the semis and the championship. That would drag the playoffs into week 18 for the second half of the championship.

The question I have for the other 3 playoff teams (I’m abstaining so there is no conflict of interest), how do we want to handle the championship? Handle it according to the ESPN default for a 2 week championship? Change matchups to a single week and have the championship in week 16? Disregard week 18 and just manually declare the champion after week 17 (ESPN doesn’t support setting one round for two weeks and the next round for one week).

Let me know your vote below.

 

It’s the fantasy playoffs. It’s time for win now mode and to work the wire accordingly. In this thread we name a player to claim off waivers and can start in the playoffs, name a player to cut (no kickers or defenses please), and a player to stash (we kind of are running out of time here folks)

 

For most of us, it’s the last week of the regular season. Hopefully you’ve clinched. Otherwise the cards are all on the table to get in.

Commanders and Cards are on Bye. Eagles and Cowboys play tonight. Two games tomorrow, titans at Dolphins and Packers at Giants.

Good luck to all your playoff hopes, leave your comments on today’s action below!

[Zelda II]I did it! (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by TORFdot0 to c/retrogaming
 

I’ve been determined to finally beat Zelda II and determine that I would do it without save states and without a guide.

I know Zelda II is considered a black sheep somewhat but I really think in some ways it’s more fun than the original although I’d still pick Zelda 1 over II.

Add, Stash, Cut Week 14 (self.fantasyfootball)
submitted 1 year ago by TORFdot0 to c/fantasyfootball
 

In this thread, we name one player to add from waivers, one player to stash for the playoffs when waivers clear, and one player to cut (no defenses or kickers please)

The playoffs may have started in some leagues with a 2 week championship. The last week of byes is here. Leave the players you are considering below!

[GameDay Thread] NFL Week 13 (self.fantasyfootball)
 

Just a week or two left in the fantasy football season. DK Metcalf owners are happy so far (if they didn’t leave him on the bench after that thanksgiving dud!)

Some weather in a few games. Rain in NE and snow in GB as the chiefs take on the Packers tonight.

Tomorrow night the Bengals take on the Jags. Good Luck to everyone, hope you clinch the playoffs tonight!
