US couple blocked from suing Uber after crash say daughter agreed to Uber Eats terms
  • Companies really don't put much effort into making these readable or accessible.

    Many websites I've used it's even a broken link, there's nothing to read but I'm expected to agree anyway.

    The terms are usually extremely long and repetitive, they're not designed to be actually read by people.

  • A new law has been passed in California which prohibits the use of words like "buy" and "purchase" on digital storefronts like Steam.
  • No, it's not just about DRM, currently the storefronts do not guarantee continued access to the content.

    For example, Valve can just close your Steam account at their discretion and you would no longer be able to log in or download any of your games

  • What's your stance on "donating" blood plasma?
  • 100% and I'm sure you know this too but just to add to your point, I believe the US government spends more money per capita on healthcare than anywhere in Europe, so even under the "Why should I?" lens, the current approach costs individuals more because they have to pay for it in taxes and then also in insurance premiums, copay etc.

    It's not just for the benefit of society as a whole, "you" as an individual would also be financially better off under a socialised system.

  • I hate people like this
  • 100% this, I've been a few times to pubs etc. where they tell you the kitchen closing time separately from the pub closing time but then when you try to order food before that they say they already took last orders because the kitchen staff finish at that time.

    Like bro, politely I do not care what time your staff finish their shift, it doesn't affect me. As a customer, I care what time service ends - that's the time that should be included on the opening hours to the public.

  • Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team
  • Hasn't been called ".NET Core" since 3.1

    Although it's essentially the subsequent version of core, .NET 5 is the successor to both .NET Core 3.1 and .NET Framework 4.

    Since then, it's just been called .NET 5/6/7/8/...

  • What are some financial life-hacks everyone should know?
  • My mum is like this but I think this kind of thing depends on where you're at in your financial journey and also the type of person you are.

    I find that cash burns a hole in my pocket and I check my apps regularly to track spending so any cash effectively just "disappears", I won't even remember what I spent it on.

    I completely prefer digital spending because for me it's easier not to lose track and if I seem short, I can trace exactly where it went.

    If you're someone who is not in financial trouble and pays off credit cards regularly then I advise trying to find one with decent rewards and use it for as much of your spending as possible.

    This not only gets you air miles / cash back but also helps to build a strong credit record if you're looking to buy a house, car, ... in the future.

  • Follow me for more deep political analysis
  • One of the big things they taught us in history lessons was how he came across very charismatic and that he was good at winning people over.

    It's really important for people to understand and learn in order to not repeat the mistakes of populism, evil people don't generally go around shouting about how evil they are.
