I’ve often seen kids throwing tantrums in public, and the parents (feeling embarrassed) immediately resort to appeasement. Whenever you give a screaming child something that makes them happy, they learn that screaming more often will get them what they want.
And they will inevitably cause situations in which the kid can never get what they want, but they still believe screaming hard enough works, resulting in an indefinite tantrum. Bad parenting will definitely snowball if you’re not careful.
Some places are honestly getting crazy. Could probably run up a total like that at Five Guys. They’re death spiraling and prices are out of hand.

Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press ButtonEnglish
4·2 days agoSure, but those share buttons can be used offline, no subscription required. I just use them for screenshots/short clip capture that I send to my personal devices.
But game chat is a dead button to anyone who doesn’t pay. Like it’s fine to lock the chat feature behind the subscription, I get that. But it’s weird to make a dedicated hardware button for a feature that not everyone can use.

Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press ButtonEnglish
122·2 days agoIt’s more just that the controller has a button that is tied to an online subscription only feature. You need to pay for online services for Playstation and Xbox too, but neither have dedicated controller buttons that are tied to any of those features.
Always take the upfront cash! Currency devalues over time so that 7 billion could be worthless by tomorrow. But $19 invested correctly today could be worth a trillion dollars by tomorrow.

I’ve had plenty of people say “But that’s different, it’s E2EE”, but it’s a closed-source black box that almost certainly has a backdoor built in already.
That one is also safe to remove, but that one is a bit older and is apparently just for verifying contacts in E2EE messenger apps. Smells like spyware to me but Google provided no more context in the description than that so I’m not inclined to trust it.
Just be aware that it will likely bring itself back without notice, either in system updates or just pushed by the Play Store.

If that is a typo for SodaStream, just FYI that they’re an Israeli company that profits from the Palestinian genocide and has operated in the occupied West Bank.

US. When I go to my local grocery store, they’re categorized under white or red.
At least for white, that is indeed how the English Wikipedia classifies different grape cultivars, even ones that aren’t intended to make wine. Black is new to me though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultana_(grape)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almeria_(grape)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italia_(grape)
Might just be that my grocery store is real local and they do it differently. I try to avoid large chains. But I’ve always understood white and red to be the technical classifiers of grapes, and the actual color you see with your eyes varies.
I’m also from a wine-producing region, so maybe that has something to do with it as well.

News@lemmy.world•Picasso print stolen from Milwaukee art gallery in 2018 found by landlord while cleaning apartment
5·3 days agoIs it wrong of me to think this part sounds a bit sus?
The year it was stolen the piece was appraised at between $35,000 and $50,000, DeLind said. He guessed that the value hasn’t changed much since then, but now given its story it may be worth closer to $50,000.
…
DeLind said his former business partner, who died in February, was distraught over the theft in 2018 and called police every year on the anniversary of the crime asking that they publicize it again in the hope the Picasso could be found.
The story of theft increases its value. And it just so happens to suddenly resurface (within the same city even) only after the business partner is dead.

Or if Chromium uses its monopolistic advantage to dictate additional browser standards that undermine the functionality of UBO, which could potentially result in Firefox becoming unable to view certain websites if they don’t adopt them.
Might be different in other languages, but English usually divides grapes into red and white for color.
Or purple grapes red?
(I’m guessing due to the type of wine they make)






But did the Associated Press consider that today is TACO Tuesday?
