It’s wild how long this tactic has worked.

I thought Mozilla lost the google funding in the monopoly ruling?

I feel like this video touched some larger philosophical points about technological progress. It’s to work and create with restraints. If there are no limitations you end up with an unfocused mess.

I’m idling at around 30w with my old system. Old xeon CPU, rtx 2060, 17tb.

Any product that has the stink or tech bro or VC I avoid like the plague. Tech bro socks, tech bro deodorant, tech bro soap, tech bro groceries, etc.

I enjoyed cachy os when I tested it out. I’d like to see how it compares to Bazzite tho. I thought I tried an immutable is years back and it annoyed the hell out of me but I can’t remember.

I go component or svideo for everything, whatever is easiest. Get a svid or component switch box and hook everything up.

Tired of my hobbies being ruined by tech monopolies.

I wish we applied the amount of scrutiny seen here to actual billionaires.

The most bizarre thing is how they let these drones just fly around however long they want and act like there is no way to bring them down. I guess if you aren’t trying to tip your hand as to what a real response would be then fine. However there’s many ways they could bring the drones down without showing what their best response would be.

Copyright for individuals, but not for corporations.

Headline should be: Person sneaks example of vagrant copyright infringement on a scale not previously seen into National Museum Cardiff gallery.

What alt front ends are there? How would you bypass the age check? Back in the day I didn’t have an account and you could get around it using third party sites but those don’t work anymore as far as I know.

AI increases my power utility bill
AI takes my water
AI increases the price of GPUs
AI increases the price of RAM
AI makes my search results worse and slower
AI is inserted into every website, app, program, and service making them all worse

All so businesses and companies can increase productivity, reduce staff, and then turn around and increase prices to customers.

Calling Project 78 insane is a bit much.

I thought this case was thrown out?

They added AI which I thought was one of the main points of using an alternative search engine so you could get away from that nonsense?

The future seasons won’t be about Tai-Pan and Noble House as those are thinly related at best and more as a wink and nod from James Clavell. I really hope they get adapted though because those two books are my favorites from Clavell. However Shogun is historical fiction so they can just pick up with these characters where they left off in future seasons.

This being an adaptation from one of my favorite authors doing another season is more of a red flag than a welcome announcement to me just because there have been so many writers lately that either disregard the original writing or think they can just step in and write more stories like the original author did. You can look at Game of Thrones for the most prominent example of this. A more similar example to Shogun would be The Terror which was written by another one of my favorite authors, Dan Simmons. They changed a lot in the adaptation of the book and I wasn’t a fan. They then went on and made the show an anthology series for some reason? I really hope the showrunners here aren’t planning on doing that.

I guess a proper Witcher adaptation can only exist in my dreams. I wish Europe could do a proper adaptation with the Slavic influences intact.

Edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

That would drive me nuts. Same with people who would edit their comments to freak out and thank everyone for the upvotes like it was an oscar award speech. There was a lot of strange behavior the developed over time. I like the idea of awards as a source of monetization as long as it doesn’t influence the conversation. Like what was said elsewhere just a cosmetic change.
