Regardless, why bother running or using a short URL service? QR codes can easily hold a full URL and more, and QR codes are not (nor are they meant to be) human readable, so what's the benefit?

what's the difference?

Why is that ideal? Seems more prone to problems if the short URL service shuts down or suffers outages.

yeah, qr codes have different levels of error correction that you can specify, could very be well turned up to the max

or the url has a ton of tracking params appended to it for some reason

Me too. I work for none of the above, but yes I would.

Fun fact, rail workers had more demands than just "extra sick days".

And it shouldn't be necessary for anyone to work overtime just to make ends meet. Hell, it shouldn't be necessary for anyone to work overtime even to have a few nice things. The shipping companies can afford it, and they wouldn't be making billions in the first place if it wasn't for the workers.

They were offered a 50% wage hike tonight, yes, FIFTY, and still declined

If they still declined, then it pretty clearly wasn't good enough. Unless you're a longshoreman and have anything meaningful to add to the conversation, you should probably stop just blindly repeating corpo talking points.

probably when it hurts the most, which is kinda the whole point

Gotcha. For sure the jump from 30fps to 60fps is a lot more significant than a jump from 60 to 120+

All that stuff about exclusive games just sounds like sunk cost fallacy. I don't understand how a consumer benefits in any way from exclusive titles, or how a consumer is harmed from having access to multiplatform games.

If someone gets a PS5 for a PS5 exclusive game, why wouldn't they want the option to play other games on there as well?

I do ultimately agree with you though, the PS5 Pro is dumb - and neither the regular PS5 nor any Xbox seems worthwhile compared to PC gaming

That sucks, and folks should do their research and have trip sitters.

It's the first known instance, though - this is not worth changing your behavior over, something that's never been known to happen after humans have been tripping on the things forever.
