Comment Because it sucked. (Score 1) 235

Prime Day deals sucked this year. Most of the deals it showed me were the same prices the stuff sells for any other day. The best discounts were on Fire TVs and Kindles, both of which I bought on Prime Day in previous years. The only discount that was interesting was a jacket I had looked at the day before which got 40% off.

No, Texas can (maybe) legally split into up to five new states as long as one is still named Texas (assuming its original admission terms from 1845 still apply and weren't superseded by the terms of its readmission in 1870). Neither it nor its hypothetical child states can legally secede. https://www.smithsonianmag.com...

Comment Ease of use v. Advertising (Score 3, Insightful) 29

Anybody who's looked up recipes online recently knows that they're being used mainly as a way to serve you ads. Before the recipe is a bunch of ad-ridden prose about the recipe itself, with some pictures. Then, at the bottom of the page is the recipe. Google was making the content more easily available, but destroying the ad revenue.

Comment Incomprehensible PR rah-rah (Score 1) 14

[...] giving our existing users another surface for agent collaboration that simply doesn't exist anywhere else. Email isn't just another app; it's where professionals spend significant portions of their day, and it's the perfect staging ground for orchestrating multiple AI agents simultaneously

Did you understand anything in that marketdroid BS? I didn't.

All this screams to me is: avoid - avoid - avoid.

Comment I see more and more products marketed as AI-free (Score 4, Interesting) 49

It's becoming a selling point.

Hell, I even watched a video leaked from some OnlyFans account that had the preamble "This content creator prides herself in making her own content herself entirely: no AI bullshit involved!" If the porn industry rejects it, you know it's bad for business.

Comment Wayland mostly works for me (Score 1) 134

including screen recording. TFA is incorrect on that one.

What it really, REALLY lacks is proper remoting. The best option available at the moment is wayvnc - i.e. VNC over a headless Wayland session. It works, but VNC sucks ass. There's no RDP support and there's no remote session greeter.

Fortunately, my only Wayland machine is a laptop, so it's not like I need to remote it a lot, if at all.
