I can’t help you but I’m fascinated by your door now. Does this door/lock have a name? How did you end up with such an elaborate mechanism?
Ironic slang is just slang that hasn’t grown up yet.
I’ve used 3 unrelated baby cams and junked them all because not one was remotely usable, never mind reliable.
That was a decade ago, but we had pretty solid ip cameras a decade ago.
That’s leftpad. The package name dispute was over something else, but they pulled all their packages from npm in protest. Turned out leftpad was a transient dependency for a huge swathe of all JavaScript.
It’s amazing to watch the old, rusted machine of antitrust slowly grinding back to life, bit by bit.
I’ve met multiple sites that won’t load the unsubscribe page without disabling ad blockers.
Those get spam listed the same as login walls.
I know you put in scare quotes, but I have to note for newcomers: as an open software built on an open web standard, 3rd party apps are first class citizens for Lemmy
Simulink has a concept called Test Harnesses which are models that isolate individual blocks for testing. The tests themselves are then driven programmatically from MATLAB
Have you got concurrency and parallelism swapped around?
A right not being reserved does not mean it is waived, only that it is not exclusive. The last person to commit still has the right to commit, as does everyone else.

AI isn’t being watered down, quite the opposite.
Path finding, computer vision, optical character recognition, machine learning and large language models were all unambiguously considered to be vAI technology before they were widespread, and now the media and general public tend to avoid the term for all but the most recent developments.
It’s called The AI Effect
I suspect my local bookshop would stock most of those under “society and politics”
I don’t have an answer for you that would help you find more good books, sorry.
I read Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein right after Manufacturing Consent and I think that worked really well. It’s got some overlap in content that helps solidify concepts, but it’s a bit more modern and a much easier read (less dry)

Just in case you’re not just satirically listing things that are already awful;
Supermarkets increase their “retention” by limiting signage to keep you wandering and avoid “just get that thing and go” shopping. I don’t know how common this is, but when I was a kid the major supermarkets had long lists of what items were in each aisle, plus highly visible signs in the aisle to show exactly where each category was. Now days at the major chains those in aisle signs are completely gone, and the categories have been whittled down to a few major categories; most products aren’t represented on the sign at all e.g. you have to assume “cake mix/decorating” are in the same aisle as “flour”.
Unskippable ads on all pumps are absolutely a thing that are getting more popular. Mobil is particularly bad for it in my experience.
