I call any non-native citizen (anyone not born in my country) an import.

Like beer.

I love it.

OP, I hope you know that’s his Xbox now. If you wanna keep playing Xbox stuff, you’ll have to buy a new Xbox to play on, so George can keep his bed.

Actually not a bad idea. Flood the department with bullshit resumes.

I like this idea

Ew, I’d rather not fuck Elon. He’s not my type.

Fuck. I can’t out-stupid this guy. I won’t win.

Indeed. I have absolutely no way of knowing anything for certain.

I’m just screaming into the void from this hellscape we call Earth.

I’d bet that channel “members” don’t get ads for that channel regardless of premium status.

IMO, Google made premium, almost nobody bought it. So they went after adblockers, hoping that people would get premium to get rid of the ads. People most just Adblock harder.

While this is happening, one exec is peering over the fence at twitch. Where they only way to get away from ads without a pretty good Adblock, is to subscribe to the individual creator.

So they make “memberships” to channels a thing.

Almost nobody buys that either. So they go… What if, even if someone is premium, we give them ads, unless they’re a channel member.

Genius.

Paying to block ads per creator/channel/whatever, is a special level of bullshit that twitch has always had.

The system is working as expected. The companies are trying to find the best way to extract the most value from you using their platform.

I chalk most of the shit that makes teams horrible, is closely related to electron and their whole web app as a desktop app bullshit.

Buckle up, because they’re doing that same enshittification to outlook next. It’s already begun. There’s a “new” Outlook. FML.

If I can quote the late George Carlin: “They call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

I would argue that George was right and the American dream doesn’t exist, and never existed. You cannot destroy that which does not exist…

Trump has a … Nope, nevermind, I don’t care. I don’t want to see that, and I’m not even going to ask.

The average death age of any empire is 250 years.

Tick tock America. You’re proving that figure to be correct.

How dare you encourage my wife to be an independent person and have her own thoughts!

I’m guessing, but it would logically follow that this is a callback to when computers used text-based interfaces. The old 80x25 character resolution.

So the “first line” is the top 1/25th of the viewable screen (4%).

A complete guess from me. I’ve been using computers since the late 80s and this is a new term to me too.

The people that voted for this shit have the biggest blinders on right now. I’m sure they’re trying to ignore that anything has gone wrong.

I hope someone with enough money to make this a problem for the policy makers gets after this in court soon. The USA needs to either pass a federal law stating that abortion is legal, or they need a new roe v. Wade judgement on the books. Until one of those things happens, this continual and unnecessary loss of life will continue; it is inevitable.

For people who call themselves “pro-life” they sure don’t give any shits about people continuing to live.

Anyone who is anti abortion, this is for you: 🖕

I think when the hype dies down in a few years, we’ll settle into a couple of useful applications for ML/AI, and a lot will be just thrown out.

I have no idea what will be kept and what will be tossed but I’m betting there will be more tossed than kept.

Wait… It’s how much? For online access?

And others are more??

I’m a dedicated PC gamer, so I’m out of the loop on what’s happening with consoles, but this seems nuts to me

Upvote for bitwarden. I love that service.

I especially love that you can host it yourself if you want. I don’t do that right now, but I did in the past for a work thing. It’s great.

I got Yt premium as a side effect of the Google one thing. I don’t necessarily need the extra space I got the Google one thing for, but I’ll probably keep it because I’m too lazy to clear out my storage and the side perks like Yt premium are probably worth more than I’m spending on one.

How dare you!

Good intentions, easily taken wrong.

Look everyone, the corporations are trying to be inclusive!

… No? Nobody cares? Okay. That seems right. They don’t care about us unless we’re going to buy their shit, so that seems fair to me.

Eat the rich.
