Do you loathe the big three carriers enough to walk away?

None of us had cell phones in the 80's.

Breaker, Breaker, 9 if you had a problem.

ReVanced lets you make Subs your start page.

Have AdBlockers gone to silently accepting the ads?

I use Premium and only listen to something not downloaded like 5% of the time, and on 1.5x, so I don't know much about AdBlockers but with variable playback speeds and buffering, the arms race is tricky to escalate to timing calculations.

I guess if you get a Google Watch they could make sure you're not off taking a piss while the ad plays too.

How far they wanna push this?

"I'm sorry, Dave - playback cannot continue until you put your watch back on."

Just go for a hike at some point.

"Hey, Bill - if we put a lot of pigment molecules into a plastic mix, will that increase or decrease cross-linking polymerization?"

This is why people use ugly PLA for utility prints too.

Now, if they told us why blue pigments are the worst, that would be quite a study.

I'm GenX, and I consider accepting ads after a lifetime of being bombarded with them to be the insanity.

Which economic model do you prefer to keep YouTube available without ads?

Genuinely curious.

Do you buy YouTube Premium, or should it be free and ad-free?

Is there an HDMI port for an open source GoogleTV device?

you can keep your Wordpad.

OK, Lucy.

Wow, the mental gymnastics to ignore sanctions and security guarantees as part of the geopolitics are astonishing.

This site is going to be in full meltdown mode the day after the election. I wonder if there will be suicides with the way the Mockingbird Media has people wound up.

And, yeah, Trump bitched out on pardoning Assange and Snowdon so nobody thinks he'll pardon Ulbricht either.

In the same way they view God as whatever the latest technology is.

A wheel with a wheel, a clockmaker god, a machinist, a weilder of energy, a programmer, a simulation, and now an AI.

Because saying "I don't know" is the most painful thing for a materialist.

The secret is: I have a goal and am willing to work hard to iterate. The best SciFi authors can do this in their minds - it's amazing.

The researchers don't seem to have satisfied the impetuous author.

He better get to work on solving that next problem and publishing a paper since it's so damn easy.

Odds are good that the 76 Swine Flu, Lyme Disease (and the two comorbid mutant viruses that showed up in Lyme at the same time) and AIDS were lab leaks.

The 1917 Flu seems to have come from a Kansas Army Barracks on a base with a diseases lab but it's too old to be certain.

Polio seems to have been spread through vaccines. Measles we know how to deal with. Smallpox and anthrax are still restricted to labs but we do know the Army did the attack on the Capitol.

It's not our only risk but it eclipses the other risks so it deserves the majority of attention.

Anyway WHO supports making the lab risk higher so they can go straight to hell.

WHO was a malicious peddler of misinformation and tyrannical advice during the covid leak outbreak.

Putting them in charge of the next one would be peak retardation. Why does the author here support "fail up" rewards?

Also retarded is the idea that only one approach should be tried in the next pandemic and that should come from central planners.

Try taking a year-one Information Theory class - Jeeze. They disqualify themselves by suggesting it.

All the denials specifically name iCloud Photos.

What I didn't see at all was an explanation that 17.5 includes automatic database repair or any technical explanation.

Maybe that exists and I missed it or maybe it's a secret update or maybe it's BS.

Until they come clean on the A5 GPU intentional backdoor I'll presume BS to begin with.

Open Source is a floor for being taken seriously on security claims.

It's OK because the idea of a Republic that you have a voice in is only a means of control you fell for.

And I don't blame you for that unless you had based homeschooling parents whom you ignored.

The concern he pointed out was third-party auditing of a fast-moving target.

It's a fair point; perhaps not as concerning as the prior Chairman of the Board of Signal Foundation having /deep/ Intelligence Community ties.

As far as we know Signal is secure but was that yesterday's build or Tuesday's build?

If we're suspicious and a national emergency happens and a new build comes out ... then what.

We should learn from the xz penetration.
