Wow, you big mad at a popcorn movie. Did the allusion to Gaza get your panties in a twist? I hear that's generating all kinds of hate from all the right people.

And why do all your comments use caps lock - are you over 65, perchance?

I got a $500 discount on some storage batteries and one silly $20 electronic toy that's normally $40.

> How does someone get access to his location data?

  You pay $50 to a data broker, AIUI.

Half of the convenience apps you download include tracking libraries. Free apps often make their money by selling your location data to surveillance companies.

Ads are included so you don't think to ask what their revenue stream is.

Stock ROM's don't prevent most of this.

The merits aren't the point - bankrupting the little guy and sending a message to the other little guys is the point.

"The process is the punishment."

It's interesting to watch old movies and the credits are maybe 30 people.

If you see a modern CG flick there will be thousands of people in the credits including the barista at the coffee shop down the street from where the IT backups subcontractor's office is.

Similar idea with IMDB and basically everybody lying on their resumes otherwise.

Interestingly software had credits pages in the 80's but California prevents noncompete agreements and poaching was rampant so the opposite occurred.

They're reeing about cuts to funding for medical programs in Africa that American taxpayers were funding.

When 25% of Americans can't even afford to get their own medical care.

At least Medicine stopped injecting kids with SV40 promoters from green monkey cells from 1970-2021. Massive cancer cause.

"Sony didn't make its compact camera bigger. Waaaahhh."

Imagine just buying the bigger camera.

What's worse is that Steam could obviously make certain titles crypto-only but MasterCard gets to tell them they can't sell those either.

It's a hostage situation by Fed member banks.

In his ZFS use case you want to flash your HBA to 'IT mode' which gets rid of all RAID logic on the card.

ZFS is much more reliable if it can see the disks directly. And more reliable than HBA-based RAID too.

Let them pass.

I drove 3 hrs once to see a film in IMAX only to find out it was liemax.

Imagine how happy I was.

The only IMAX I've paid for since then was "Sully" at Air & Space. Or "Avatar" in Omnimax. I was a huge fan in the 90's. They burned my good will.

The primary theme seems to be tattletale outrage bait from them. Easy content.

Maybe there's something more interesting behind the paywall.

It's an obvious standards violation to not call themselves 402 Media.

Anyway do they address the Doppelganger Problem?

For the lawyer cost of these audits every one of those companies could have an OpenJDK Core developer on staff and get first-class support in-house.

KLED

Every TV sold in the stores today has xxLED in the branding.

Only the akshully crowd would be triggered.

How many companies used llama instead of paying OpenAI for API access?

If Meta saw OpenAI as a market competitor then denying them revenue is a cunning move.

Especially if llama isn't Meta's core competency but ChatGPT is OpenAI's.

Maybe even legal in that aspect, though they both seem super guilty of not paying for copyrighted material.
