Everything should be an extension for a browser. AI, telemetry, and other universally hated features. Let the user choose. No one has to worry if a toggle will always be respected in code, or if an update will undo it. Beholden to the same

Ads that's are directly paid for, curated by properly incentivized humans, and don't have spyware built into them, are actually sought after by consumers. I used to spend hours staring at them, by choice. I probably still would to

I absolutely have, which is how I know what I said is true. I know who gets blamed in that scenario too. The point of that job is to be the scapegoat when things go horribly wrong. And they will, because you can't realistically ever co

Yeah, and it's awful working with someone you know is going to mess thing up, in major ways, has no self-reflection, and cannot be held accountable for anything, because they're management's best buddy.

Oh geez, wish I had vote for Republicans then :/ The difference isn't really in the politicians, it's in the base, and how they will react to acts like this. Democrat voters will shame them, endlessly. They may not have alter

I think I know and love more about clojure than any language I actually use. I rewatch hickey talks anytime Im a little stuck on a big problem/idea and there's almost always another "ah ha" moment for me. If the places i

No alternative, you can't realistically fully control everything everyone does on every device in their possession. It was job security for useless control freaks, the products never should have existed.

Even the old companies have moved away from that nonsense. Huge waste of resources.

Ah yes, classic advice. Remain neutral while the vile humans do not. You must be one of them.

ChromeOS and Android are definitely comparable.

And Data center noise pollution before that. It's the only channel I subscribe to knowing full well every video is going to infuriate me.

> so it can't just say "no bugs! all good!" If anyone, or anything, ever answers a question like that, you should stop asking it questions.

1 Since when is Linux about marketing? And who is "they"? 2 Devs for companies can start working with proprietary OSes for the businesses they sell their soul to. 3 Who cares what apple is doing. 4 And systemd should not be liable

100 years later and here we are, linking to articles asking to sign up for a news letter before a single word can be read. Scroll 1 paragraph and get nagged again.

You're saying a few weeks of high gas prices and a ton of people have gone out to buy overpriced tablets on wheels? I don't believe that.

Whoops, I assumed it was a proper noun the way I read it. Like a company that does data collection or something. Whatever, I'm not gonna bother to look at it again, I'm quitting the internet.

Those are more like live appearances. Basically them doing stuff while a DJ plays a recording of a song the "artist" probably had 1% part in writing. Expensive karaoke. The actual musicians of the world lose money doing live perfo

Not ironic, unfortunate reality. I'm annoyed npr and 474 use personal data for profit. It should be illegal. I'm terrified the government uses personal data without checks on the use case. Especially since it is illegal, and they

Decades ago, i used a small dns host. I wanted to switch a personal site and they just couldn't get the final step of the transfer to work. A ton of "try now" emails spanning several weeks. Then one day, I was trying to setup

Was Jack Black in Almost Famous? Are you thinking of PSH. I've mixed them up in my head myself, and I have no clue why. I was a Tenacious D fan from day 1, so it's not like they're 2 actors I'm only vaguely familiar with

The country has gone batshit crazy. I've lost all hope for the future. This one wasn't even Republicans only. Scary stuff.

If you're not using any software that might include code that originally came from an LLM, might as well give up on everything now. I'll give up the base if I ever have to remove built-in AI tools, but I don't foresee Vim dev

Really? You still think you're the one looking at it all wrong? It's exactly what you think it is. Stop giving blatant malice the benefit of the doubt, especially the doubt they've directly instilled.
