The business model is to make it cheap initially by subsidizing it with investor capital. So, the gig worker may be paid more than the user is being charged. Then, eventually raise the price once the user base is large enough and dependent enough on it (or the prior alternative is sufficiently put out of business).

wunami@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Actors demand action over 'disgusting' video game sex scenesEnglish5·11 months agoWhat do you think these movies or shows are doing when they let people know without showing the sex scene? You think the narrator is just saying “then they had sex” and describing the sex while the screen is blacked out?
wunami@lemmy.worldto Lord of the memes@midwest.social•And you left out the tomatoesEnglish71·11 months agoNah. Boromir would have brought 5 four-cheese pizzas.
Maybe the order of those could be arranged based on how much they’re able to finagle from the search engines.
That’s the issue that caused this. Google was paying Mozilla to be the default search engine at the top of the list in Firefox and other browsers.

This one is cheaper and probably easier to use base on nozzle design.

I’m actually more hung up on if someone is from Portland than if they are a decent human being. Why did you get hung up on bisexuality?
(This meme is a joke about fashion not a serious attempt to compare bisexuals to murderers.)
wunami@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Canada to ban the Flipper Zero to stop surge in car theftsEnglish71·1 year agoPen-testing is short for penetration testing. Which is testing if you can break into the things. Like a locked office or a computer system, etc. Legally, it’s done to find flaws that need to be fixed before they get used nefariously.
Pen testing techniques and tools are essentially break in tools. In this case, a tool for mimicking car key fobs and the wireless signals they send to the car.
What else will they do with all those blades?

It’s an extremely abundant plant based protein.

Valve can be pretty lazy about this kind of thing. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they just automatically used the top most nominated in each category without even a tiny bit of vetting.
Jugular is a vein. Pulse visible on the neck would be from the carotid artery. Unless the dead guy actor has visible JVP. Which would be a serious medical problem and not pretty funny to see.
I dunno… it sounds like bullshitter is bullshitting about his bullshit.
So egg salad with potatoes?
The disk part was still floppy.
I’m pretty sure the bridge is structural. So they might not have had much choice in how to do it.
On land mermaids would need a wheelchair or something similar even if they aren’t handicapped.
