Uh oh. The FTC better not let that go through.

In the places you want to apply, check the laws on how much income landlords are allowed to require co-signers to have. For example, in Portland, OR, landlords may not require that an applicant’s gross monthly income be more than 2 times the monthly rent if the rent is above the amount affordable to people making 80% of the median household income. If it’s below that, then they can’t require more than 2.5x. (Apologies for the run-on sentence, that wording was almost directly copied from Portland’s renter’s handbook.)

Amazon: I avoid them because of worker abuse and union busting. While prime shipping is convenient, planning around not having it comes pretty naturally. Just plan as if it’s not an option at all. This does require good internet search skills to find sites that sell what you’re looking for, but I can’t express how worth it the work is to get better quality products.

Starbucks: I avoid them because of union busting. I make most of my coffee and tea at home, it’s cheaper and better anyway. Otherwise, I go to a local cafe. My area has a lot of them, but even if yours doesn’t, try asking around.

It remains on light theme.

Edit: I am very silly and was forgetting to hit save. The fact that it was persisting in that tab when I navigated away, despite not having saved, gave me the mistaken impression that I didn’t need to save.

You can indeed run Minecraft on Linux. In my opinion, it’s even easier than running it on Windows, since you can use your package manager to install openjdk instead of fishing around Oracle’s website to get the Java 17 graphical installer. I use Prism, which is a 3rd party launcher, and I’m loving the experience.

The deciding factor for me is how little of the money goes to creators, and how arbitrarily Google twiddles the content guidelines. If I’m going to pay a subscription for the category of content on YouTube, I’ll pay for Nebula and Dropout so that I know my money is actually making it to the people I like.

Theme selection seems to not persist properly. The theme resets when I close and reopen my tab. Is there a fix for this?
