We would have to re-arrange society to ease many of the stressors in life. I predict we'll be needing those drugs for a while.

Based on the cost of products from China vs the price of products made in China but sold by non-Chinese companies, I'd say the price well more than covers the cost of everything for practically any product where they also choose to display ads.

They just want more, more, always more.

It's also possible that Dolby is twisting logic into a pretzel in order to make this claim. It wouldn't be the first far-fetched theory of infringement to go through court.

The first thing I do on installing Linux is nuke NetworkManager and it's ilk.

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

There's no reason a smart TV MUST have an account with the manufacturer or seller unless they want to enshittify it.

You may want to have accounts with various streaming services or perhaps you just want it to stream video you have on a NAS.

On the other hand, take notice. There's a bunch of ideas being kicked around out there to subject ALL drivers to an automatic intoxication screening, even life-long non-drinkers. Might be worth looking at what could go wrong.

So let's not poison the sea life with mercury from coal and choke the birds on smog.

Nuclear could be a good option if we would actually reprocess the spent fuel.

Not a surprise, seeing their lack of attention attention to detail.
Right now, on their home page under "We Make Getting Back on the Road Simple"
there's 4 testimonials, all with placeholder text.

I'd bet their automated billing for $75/mo is running just fine.
Parasites.

That also explains the hairball of dependencies.

Back before systemD was even a consideration, I just wrote a wrapper script that waited until a dependency was ready, then started the dependent daemon.

Parallel start-up was a thing before systemD as well.

I wouldn't mind so much if systemD would stay in it's lane and just be an init system.

Which might actually improve the Win 11 experience.

Why do employers and bosses demanding return to office hate America so much?

Let us not forget that we've spent the last 30 years trying to make ads less invasive. This is a fact. There is what is now an entire category of software that revolves stealthy ways to block them. This was always a weak, ineffective, and arguably immoral stream of revenue, with more than trivial privacy concerns.

If you're still depending on ad revenue to run your website, please think of something else.

Next up, this isn't the first time the google algorithm has changed. Louis Rossman did a great video on this. Where he discussed the ongoing troubles he was having getting his website ranked in Google. TLDR there was that he ended up using Gemini to reword his pages in the particular way that Gemini wanted him to, and he was fine.

But the bigger question is: Why are you still depending on Google?

AI porn is avoidable. It's illegal in fifteen states. Why are you running into so much of it?
I'm actively on social media, all the time, and I intentionally follow the topic, but rarely see it.

What are you doing that's inundating your feed with AI porn? No judgement, just curious.

You should be able to flee to a friendly country to evade extradition,
launder your cash, pay off the congressmen, and get the surgery,
in under half a year, easy.
