Anyone crazy enough to travel to the US has only themselves to blame for getting sent to a concentration camp. MAGA people must be really dumb to not understand what is happening to their country. Hopefully, the latest failing war of aggression to Iran will spell the final crash of US imperialism (and anyhow they have lost every war since vietnam, so this will be no different).
I'd ratger have China as the number one world power... At least they don't declare war every time they have an internal political crisis.

I manage a small email server with a few dozen domains, and about a month ago we had this very issue blocking all our mails. I had to redirect all outgoing emails to outlook and a few other micro$oft domains through a smarthost (and drove me crazy in the meantime, not to mention our customers). I can't wait for everyone to jump from windows to linux (or macOS, bsd, anything), so that they can die the horrible death they deserve!

The Elon is a total snake-oil seller, and anyone with a working brain can see that. But if you get paid well to work on a project you know will not work, then why not? Suck the Elon dry while there are still idiots who give him money.
What should *not* happen, is governments financing any of his idiotic trash projects (anyone remembers the hyperloop fiasco? The cybertruck fiasco? And on and on...).
There's one born every minute...

Everytime I see "We take XYZ seriously" in a press release from any company, I know that they didn't give a damn, but they were caught red-handed.
Do they teach that sentence in public relation courses? It's 100% false. I read it in every report of a company doing something dodgy after having been exposed.
Couldn't they say something like "we are very sorry and we will fix the issue ASAP"? It might be a lie too, but it wouldn't sound so dishonest.

I never use AI, I don't look at AI summaries, I find AI art revolting.
It probably makes me a so-called luddite, but I'd rather write my own sentences, including having thought about what and how to write them.
AI=Artificial Idiocy (that is, in truth, what "AI" means).

THIS! I did notice subtitles' quality deteriorating recently. I should have known it was due to AI (Artificial Idiocy)... I can't wait for the bubble to burst! The sooner, the better for the human race.

I've had dual boot windows/Linux for almost a 20 years (been using Linux since 0.99 days), but this year I removed windows completely.

I pity windows users and I'm very happy doing everything on Linux, especially gaming. In the rare occasions I have to use windows, I just find it frustrating. It's so slow and painful, I find it unbelievable there are still windows fanboys.

Now, if you want to use windows, go ahead. If you think Linux users are weirdos, go on believing it and use your crappy Spyware os.
no Microsoft software on *this* end!
now, if you've finished foaming at the mouth for yet another Linux supporter, let us laugh at the losers having to stick to inferior crap from MS.

So how much will the subscription be to keep this monstrosity running. And when the servers go offline, what happens?
The least the EU can do is make the company pay for recycling it, including taking the money from the CEO if (when) the company goes bust.
Is this socialism? Then a big F to capitalism.

I bet they will use the word "innovation" in their marketing material. It seems every time that word is used, we are in for some crap nobody's asking for.

They are holding the finals in the US? Are they crazy? Half the participants are going to be deported or denied visas. They should move the finals to a democratic country. Dictatorships are not conductive to international events.

The developed were probably "Developing-Under-Influence".
Looking at the results you get from AI hallucinations, every AI seems to be running under influence...

I refuse to use Chrome, for obvious reasons, and I'm using Firefox. It works well, but the constant addition of crap by Mozilla is very annoying. Does ladybird support uBlock? No uBlock, no party. If uBlock works or if there is anything just as effective as that for ladybird, count me in! If I have to see ads, that browser is not for me.

*unlock->ublock

Well, at least this is opt-in and it might actually be useful, unlike the AI crap they tried to introduce recently which you could only disable by changing user prefs manually.
Seriously, why do they keep adding stuff to Firefox? It works. Just update the engine to keep up with standards. No genXYZABCDE++ person is going to use it anyhow (they only know Chrome), regardless of how much crap they add, so keep it functional and stop messing things up!
Can anyone recommend a browser which is not using Chrome as backend, conforms to standards and does not force AI crap? And which has a functional unlock, naturally!

All my music/podcasts/audiobooks/films/tv series/whatever, are OFFLINE!
Ads? No thanks. I never see any ads because of ublock, revanced, etc.

Call me old fashioned, but I cannot stand:
- ads
- buffering/lag/no connectivity
- subscriptions
- AI slop

If idiots from gen XYZABCDEFwhatever don't know how to download content for offline use, shame on them. I'd rather NOT listen or watch anything with ads (or this DJ crap from google). If I cannot have something offline, it is not worth my time. The idiots can go watch tiktok or some crap like that. No thanks.

The usual venture capitalist with a silly idea, which would only work in their idealised world of "everyone lives in a city, connected 24 hours a day, drinking coffee on the street because they have no time, with no brains required, other than to sign up to subscription services". I.e. the typical American Office worker. Let's get ready for stranded cars unable to connect to the servers, ddos attacks, police baffled by the missing driver when some accident happens, drivers sitting in India driving a car in Germany, network lag, etc. At least we will get to laugh and the failure videos which will start appearing soon, no doubt. Hopefully it won't take many victims before the whole thing collapses (though they will probably run out of funds pretty soon... Profitability never enters in these tech-bros minds). If you want to reduce car ownership, improve public transportation, though I know it is a foreign concept in the US. Too socialist for the greatest country on earth, eh? What will be next? Plug a chip in your brain so that you can work without going out of the house at all? Ideally, Drip-feeding the living corpse at home? And a subscription for the privilege, of course. Call me old-fashioned, but I'd rather drive myself.
