The title mentions owners and ads. Launching owners seems silly so I'm going with ads. It's an ad launcher.

Indeed. A good dev will use AI to submit a better PR. A bad dev will use AI to submit more PRs. If the goal is getting a PR that hits the money ball, guess which strategy works better? If the boss isn't a programmer, guess which dev gets favored?

The current administration isn't releasing controversial files on other matters so I wouldn't worry about the files that explain why the host turns orange after being inhabited by a non-terrestrial entity. They should be worried about 3 AM tweets instead.

50 employees cost at least $2,500,000 a year where I live. I can totally see how an extra $4000 (0.16%) is devastating! At least they have a solid excuse to lay off 10% of their workers now.

Potential energy is 0.5 * mass * velocity squared.

We have gun ranges where you can practice getting the bullet to go where you want it to.

Hold a grudge much? All the RAM companies have deprioritized consumer markets so FUCK THEM you'll never buy RAM again? LOL. Rage on!

People love this idea. Look at automobiles. Everyone uses public transportation now because nobody wants to own the things important to them.

One.. Two... Three... decades. That's how long I've been trying to get working video drivers. Every time I retire a Windows or Mac system, I try to extend its life with Linux. I fail every time. All the way back to the ET4000.

Bullshit. They invested in AI and now they are part of the Ouroboros. These cunts have zero good intentions.

A bowl of slop with one nice chunk of meat is still a bowl of slop.

What the hell are you ranting about? The exploit is because the forks overloaded .vscode/extensions.json to work on both OpenVSX and MS repos. The forks just need a different filename like .vscode/openvsk.json. It's not ideology and politics, it's "oops, didn't think of that".

The U.S. Constitution prohibits ex post facto laws.

I use command-line Linux every day. Last month I tried to get my 2015 MacBook running a Linux desktop. Turns out a kernel regression broke the video driver I need. After I worked through that, by disabling the video driver, I found that standby was not triggered by a lid closure. I also found that after manually invoking standby it was impossible to resume. And finally, changes in charging status, like hitting fully charged, would cause the system to turn on. So even if I was ok with a full boot every time I used the system, the act of charging the system would leave the system fully powered up at the crypt screen with the lid closed.

Similar experience as my past experiences in the mid 90s and mid 00s.

Not tramp stamps, rat tats.
