Next you’re going to be telling me that I should actually read articles too.

Says the guy on Reddit.

The whole “answer this trivia question” gatekeeping is dumb.

But the unreasonable metalhead in me also wants all band shirts to have been bought at a show, so maybe I’m a bit guilty too.

My order of operations is Canadian -> European -> Anywhere else on the planet -> Decide if I actually need the thing or not -> Chinese -> American.

I don’t know what is going on at Microsoft. I’m starting to think that they are trying to pivot to a completely different business model. In addition to this Windows 11 crap and XBox seemingly being given up on, they appear to be losing their embedded market as well. In the past, if you saw any screen in an industrial setting, there’s a good chance that there was the embedded Windows version behind that screen. Lately, all the new products are moving over to Linux.

My guess is that’s it’s easier to neatly package your data up for when they go to sell it.

That’s not really relevant here. This is more of a “genie is out of the bottle and now we have to learn how to deal with it situation”. The idea and technology of bots and AI training already exists. There’s no socioeconomic system that is going to magically make that go away.

Ok, I now need a screensaver that I can tie to a cloudflare instance that visualizes the generated “maze” and a bot’s attempts to get out.

Does Greenpeace even have any assets they could be made to pay with if they wanted to?

That’d be great, but I’m not sure how Canada is going to enforce Canadian law inside the US, and I imagine that he’s at least smart enough to stay out of Canada.

Well, Ontario has been talking about building some more nuclear reactors. I guess it’s time to change up the “reactor” part.

Nah, it won’t piss off any of them. They’ll do whatever mental gymnastics they have to keep their worldview intact.

“second fastest growing channel in cable television” eh? I guess that means they got one new viewer while everything else went negative.

Because eating the rich will accomplish nothing if you don’t also change the underlying system that created them in the first place. And good luck getting everyone in the non-rich class to agree on what that change should look like.

I saw one place that seemed to say that the address approval poll was among those who watched it. Could be that those who were likely to disapprove didn’t watch it in the first place.

Funny thing about International Law. It only ever seems to apply when when someone has the will and the power to enforce it. Who has the power to enforce it if the US is the guilty party?

Gotta have an in-group and an out-group. Might as well have the most blindly obedient, and least critically thinking people as part of your in-group.

I switched to contacts when I got a job where I am required to wear safety glasses. Contacts + the normal plastic glasses is just easier to deal with than having to get and replace prescription safety glasses.
