I tried to report a bug to Microsoft back in the day too but they ignored me and released Windows anyway. Assholes.

This is how I envision the AI burst when it happens.

Tech CEOs have been suffering from dumb ass disease for much longer.

I stopped paying for a subscription to DropBox's 100GB option many years ago when they decided to break everyone's links to files. I knew right then I couldn't trust them. I used a free account about 6 months ago after all this time to share a file with someone. The UI has become an absolute trash pit.

Thanks, now I'm going to remember this quote every time I see that tool try to look cool.

Watching that skyscraper jump off the launch pad and reach MaxQ in 45 seconds was astonishing. I'm always amazed watching archival footage of the Saturn V lift offs, but Starship is on a whole new level of amazing.

I watched the trailer. So, is this a movie or a video game? As a video game I might give it a go. As a movie, nah, the uncanny valley is very obvious.

It's like winning a judgement against the Ghost of Christmas Past. You want a true win? Hammer the companies doing pirating on a massive scale to feed their AI bullshit. I believe Meta had a HUGE interest in Anna's Archive at one point, Zuck approved.

"And if you're watching something on youtube, and the ads come at the worst possible moment..." - Why is this still a thing with people?? Install Firefox, add the uBlock Origin extension, never see another ad on Youtube. For even greater justice install the Youtube Sponsor Block extension. No ads, no sponsors. Set up your TV to simply be a monitor and use a cheap little computer as an HTPC. I have not seen ads on the Internet in well over 15 years now, probably even longer.

VMA 533 and later VMA 224 (both ComNav) during Desert Shield/Storm at Shaikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain.

I've been using startpage.com for so long now that Google changes go completely unnoticed.

The Far Side always cracked me up, LOL. My mother sent me "Wiener Dog Art" when I was sitting in the desert during Operation Desert Shield. That book got passed around the entire tent city.

In other late breaking news, wolves in some western states have been accused of purchasing sheep's clothing. When asked for comment one wolf barked, "we are purchasing 'cheap' clothing, nothing to see here."

That's right, you ass hat tech bros created this mess. Tech companies need to be put on a leash now before it's too late.

"Technically" most types of plastics are recyclable but with limits. I was the sysadmin for a plastics company in the 90's. The owner, an absolutely brilliant man, used to like to shoot the shit with me now and then. He said, even back then, that recycling plastic was way too cost prohibitive to even consider. He would get in the chemistry of the whole thing and the molecular bonds and such which break down with things like UV, etc.. He said the plastics industry knew this all along and the plastics recycling campaigns at the time were a sham meant to deflect from the real issue.
