The first time I heard that acronym, I thought it was the biggest stretch to make in to a word. Forward Looking?? Yeah Im going to forward looking walk to your house.

Those ears need to be HD-capable or whatever the term is. And I need to get those HD rabbit ears so I can watch sports on broadcast tele instead of choppy rando streams.

Those instructions were always so clunky as was the process. Re: Godaddy, I was using their "EV" (Extended Validation) cert which added a company name indicator in the address bar. I then learned that it's unwise to bring up

As much as I loathe subscription models for things like this, I turn my sub on and off as needed. That Photoshop + bundle CD cost me $1200 in 2008. Now I pay $20/mo which = 5 years until I reach that CD cost. It's not usually my p

Before Letsencrypt, SSL signing was cumbersome and downright scary sometimes. With cPanel + letsencrypt (or whatever their default Auto SSL provider is [0]), it's a few clicks and done. If there's a downside, I have never seen nor

To my knowledge, there is no panacea for human security on airlines, or anywhere ever. My point is locking the door would have likely stopped all 9/11 hijackings and maybe others where the hijacker took over the cockpit. I've been

What is historically the highest % of US households with TV? (Paywall. And that is the most aggressive form I've ever battled.)

Locking the flight deck door, like the terrorists did, has probably been the biggest security upgrade since that day.

I wonder what "watch television" means these days. I don't know many people who have broadcast or cable TV.

MSDNC has always been the propaganda wing for a certain pol party and not as random as ML-generated content; their marching orders are extremely specific. Fox News is similar but way funnier in their delivery.

Better than Clinton Network Network. And it being Canadien makes CUM a lot more digestible. EOM!

In the USA, MSDNC's Russia Maddow has a show that makes claims such as what if Russia attacks our power grid when it's cold and other completely stupid stories. On the other side of the aisle is [name anyone on Fox News]. In court

The corporate-loving legislation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 [0] signed by Beej Clinton axed the idea of keeping separate the mega corporations and our source for truth. For now, we Americans are very lucky that the internet has n

MSNDC have reported far more dangerous lies than a swimming Bigfoot. AI oddly has more integrity at times because it is not necessarily beholden to its handlers as a lot of mainstream media pundits are.

A few of the best in-depth coverages of the scummy US politicians during the 2020 election were done by Teen Vogue. TikTok is a pile, but I agree that juxtaposing it to Clinton Network Network, MSDNC, and Fox Snooze as if those hold any int

Yup and this has almost nothing to do with blockchain technology and everything to do with common capitalistic greed. And money in the hands of someone who's really bad at gambling.

Valuations often have non-liquid portions of their estimates. Market caps of regular stonks are fairly incorrect, too, since if a large holder sold all of their shares, that price per share would drop. But yeah making ones own super magic b

I've been thinking the blame handoff to her is his only way out. And as far as we currently know, she may have been heavily involved or even in charge of these shenanigans. Since their beginnings were down the street from my house, I a

I consider Tiktok content to be a sign of what the next generation has to offer. That frightens me.

An increase in ads seems to be desparation. It's an easy throttle when a company needs cash but there's a tipping point. Protip: interact with a couple ads you like and you'll see mostly those instead of rando

Although I bet there are a lot more either useless or scammy projects in crypto than in gold (fiat must have the most scams since it's the most popular), people writing off the entire industry as a scam is disingenuous, myopic, and so

If it is, it may not be soon. I have never been a fan of these app stores. I like a gatekeeper making sure malicious content doesn't get on our devices, but there should be the option to easily use other stores without jailbreaking the

Ironically, this wouldn't be an issue if your hated web3 was the defacto app store. Maybe Apple sees crypto as a game, and buying/selling/trading crypto on the Coinbase app is in-game purchases to Apple.

For cultures who prefer child-bearing-age women to always be pregnant, does this affect how many children they are able to have? And will this have a negative effect on religions who encourage large families? (Edited to avoid religious flam

The idea that the suspensions are restricted to only hateful content is simply false. It's a popular lie by political propagandists who know the truth and want to push the myth of systematic distortion, and I guess your argument is a n
