If "Jesus" returned he would smite them all for the last 2000 years of bloodshed.

How about body and facial hair? The faith would need to be only a couple millimeters.

You aren't accounting for overhead (taxes that aren't listed on an employee paystub, insurance, benefits, training, etc.)

The advertised salaries are closer to a 150-200k average which is pretty ordinary.

200k is also much closer to the amount they advertise in job postings.

Things like health insurance, etc. are yearly costs though and that stuff does end up adding up. There should also be some recurring taxes that an employer has to pay per employee that aren't part of income tax withholding (i.e. doesn't show up as part of an employee's paystub).

Don't forget that when you search you also need to wade through AI-generated SEO trash that doesn't actually tell you which service it's on.

The problem is that you can issue two certificates for one domain from two different CAs. Which one is valid?

If you only have one of the certificates, you also can't know that another exists to warn the user that they might be connecting to a government-operated middleman.

The problem with a government issued CA being trusted is that the government can now issue whatever certificates they want for any website, and then all they need to do is force your traffic to pass through their servers first.

And no they don't even need to make fake website clones, they have you connect to their proxy server which has a valid cert, then they have everything plaintext to save off to look at, and they forward the connection to the original website. Reverse proxy servers to accomplish this take minutes to set up.

To be fair, Apple made audio sharing an absolute nightmare. I have never gotten my remote control software audio to work on Mac and have tried multiple non-Crapple solutions.

Discord won't even make it as painless as possible though, and getting it set up requires downloading a third party thing now (from outside the app, before I could at least click a button inside the app).

I totally gave up a few months ago on Discord on Mac because I was sick of booting into safe mode. I'm not sure who is to blame for this but I imagine it's Apple.

Didn't EA shut down Origin or at least make it optional?

Remember Valve is the company and Steam is the storefront/launcher.

Epic is the company, EGS is the storefront/launcher.

EA is the company, Origin is (was?) the storefront/launcher.

The advertisers are only paying for seen ads, not ads that are blocked.

And people that block ads weren't likely to click on any to begin with, which benefits advertisers because they get a higher clickthrough rate.

Google doesn't want to be providing a good service to anyone though, they want money. Low clickthrough with high views makes Google more money (and costs the advertisers more money and the viewers more time).

Until you hiked my bundle from $7.50 to $19/mo I was a loyal customer who supported you getting sued and broken up.

Now I just can't wait for you to grow large enough that you get broken up and I give you zero shekels.

Boo fucking hoo. Mozilla isn't a saint and could benefit from a shake up as well. Mozilla's dependency on Google is dangerous for all of us.

The biggest loser if the DOJ doesn't win is literally everyone.

I will bite whatever bullet I have to if it means the end of Google hegemony.
