And if a company makes a negligent decision, which kills a million people over time, why is no one being put on death row? They can and do have it both ways, but I can still wish for a just world where if companies are people, they can be put to death for mass casualties caused by their decisions.

Dialed up to Windows 11!

Google is next!

Depending on how the US elections go in November, Americans may soon find out.

Ahh the early 2000s. What a time to be a teenager with new tech, a dialup network, and bootleg videos that occasionally contained someone’s browser or a floating mouse or a separate video that briefly starts playing over the screen-capped video!

Back when the Internet was new and not a dying corpse, drained of all it’s essence by monied interests!

Question, if a square on your bingo card is titled, “collapse of society,” can I still use it for this?

Exactly, this! uBlock Origins will block upwards of thousands of ads/trackers/whatever from YouTube. After it hits about 50k+, it’ll start to act strangely. At that point I just refresh the video and it all goes away. I think this happens when YouTube changes something cached in the browser, which was originally not blocked by uBO, even when uBO might have been updated to block the new stuff. I have uBO on auto-update for this reason. Whenever I notice shit not working, F5 FTW!

The only way he could ruin porn sites was if the site’s content were replaced with only videos of Elon gyrating his hips to Eye of the Tiger, while wearing one of those Borat bathing suits, never breaking eye contact with the camera.

If the moneys are anything to go on, that dude’s in for an extremely painful death.

Ain’t no one got time fo dat!

“CONSOLIDATE ALL THE THINGS!!”

Replacing the Windows key. Calling it right now. You’ll be forced into using AI in future Windows versions by turning your, “Windows key + typing app you want to open,” to a hyper-active Cortana you help, “train” with your data.

If anyone is dumb enough to put anything from that dude into their head, that brain was already damaged!

At this point, AI seems like a silly gimmick to these companies. We’re a stones throw away from the scene in South Park with Funnybot 5000 and the movie execs drilling it for hours for movie ideas.

So wait, doesn’t the naming for their builds based on the year and whether the first half, or second half, of the year? How would they have a 24H2 if we’re only in February of 2024?

I’m sorry for your lost employment. Hopefully you at least acquired skills to land an even better job!

Samesies. Didn’t give two shits when they bundled Amazon prime with video and such. Easy decision of my digital existence was dropping prime soon as they announced the ads and tiered payments.

Eliminate the erroneous emissions. Interesting take on the ol’ “eat the rich.” I like it!

My power got shut off one day before December last year. I thought the bills were all being paid cause I received no notice of delinquency. Turns out, my electric company purged my account.

When I tried to make a new account, going through multiple attempts where the only thing that worked right was their shitty captcha (select all motorcycles bullshit), I finally had to call them. Turns out, soon as I switched to a chromium browser, it allowed me to complete the registration.

I told the rep on the phone, a nice lady who was as shocked as I was that Firefox wasn’t allowing registration to complete, to convey to their IT team that a) removing the accounts of paying customers is a really awful policy (who logs into their power companies site after setting up auto pay?) and b) that catering to a single line of browser was not bad practice. She said she’d pass it on.

I don’t think she passed it on.

Begun, the AI Wars have.
