Maybe, if it’s still going. This was pre ars technica, or however it’s spelled, Facebook. It was all over FB. And I believe I saw it on Reddit as well.

I remember reading the iphone microwaving troll. Charge your battery without a charging cable! Just be sure the microwave is set to low. Isn’t that ~10-15 years old now?

Gamers Nexus is posting their data but poisoning it for AI.

Once again I’m reminded of Season 1 of Black Mirror. Second episode? Worker drone is “home”, “relaxing” in his sleep cubby and the walls are a barrage of ads. Occasionally he taps to pay credits to shut one down as the rest continue, as casual as anyone scrolling in boredom.

Or a shut down golden retriever in those old, now illegal learned helplessness experiments.

We’re fully Linux now, various distros per machine, so I no longer pay much attention to windows news.

I was at my parent’s house, trying to add some items to the smart TV. They started listening to these awful AI interpersonal dramas read by AI, on YouTube.

My thought was to add some podcasts and their Audible account, for more selections. Maybe they’ll still only listen to that, even so. You can’t add much to a smart tv. No podcasts. No podcast app. A pretty spartan selection of apps. Even something as large and mainstream as Audible. No go. Libby? Yeah, right.

I don’t get it. What’s the point? Just buy a monitor, jack it into a PC for media, and have everything you want minus this telemetry.

I think the main issue is most people don’t know Google is an ad optimization company. If you say it, the reaction is most often thinking you’re jabbing at them, with reason, but that the statement isn’t the base reality.

So, to clarify, Trump is the communal ass sponge found in a Roman public toilet.

I’m so looking forward to this. The trailer had all the grit of the world, and we finally get to play Ciri for real.

Let’s just hope we can all afford the RAM to run the game.

It’s a sponge.

You think she’d be content with a communal ass wipe?

It all feels like a way to bleed money from working class to billionaires. Death by a thousand little cuts.

I understand buying HBO for a month or two to watch GOT, or Apple for Ted Lasso. I don’t understand keeping it when it’s not being used. Paying for a maybe. Or 4 maybes. Streaming services often get “used” like a gym membership.

Who can afford streaming?

I remember that Black Mirror episode.

If it’s a truck, you can often get stock truck tires on FBM with almost no miles on them, if you live in a pickup truck heavy area. Often, owners will buy bigger tires to replace those that came with their new truck.

I’m not sure you can. Most forms are emailed or filled out directly on a site. No job application is submitted on paper, security would likely escort you out of most businesses if you tried to deliver a resume in person.

Filling out benefits “paper”work for a job, also purely digital.

What’s your plan for streaming? A smart tv? That’s just as bad as any browser without ublock.

The people who created this monster are keeping this endeavor afloat via stock market voodoo and subscriptions. We can fix the subscriptions part.

(I don’t use it much and have never had a sub, because I can read, write, and do math without that type of assistance.)

Remember, it’s probably absorbed all the green text as well.

When it asks you about your situation after telling you to call 911, the follow up to “im alone with a black guy” should be “its date night with my husband” to see how the bot switches it up, if it does at all.

Batteries can be made from sodium now, why are we still here?
