Interesting: Amazon-owned Ring is able to have new 'default' enabled (read: auto opt-in - the hard path) in an existing product/feature.

Extra interesting: Also Amazon-owned Twitch somehow cannot figure out automatic opt-out (read: leaving it 'off' by doing nothing - the easy path -, and only enabling it when users turn it on - the harder path) on existing product service.

You all created this mess. You all own it.

Yet you all deflect any blame and responsibility, and just expect someone else to fix it for you.

You're all pathetic.

I keep hearing that from a lot of creators (and no, not just the ones that talk politics); that and/or their subscribers are unknowingly getting dropped from subscribed channels.

Sounds like YT is purposefully silencing people at the administration's behest, or committing outright fraud.

Read the history books, and see if you can spot the pattern.

And all Americans are obliviously letting it all happen.

I've been watching a lot of Canadian content creators talking politics, and this is one of those "irritants" that keep coming up - disproved by the fact that the exchange rate is basically the same as in past decades, and Canadians are actually travelling more, to farther (ie. more expensive costs) destinations, so the exchange rate argument that "going to the U.S. costs them too much" is absolutely bogus and just a scapegoat.

Likely, without a doubt some pain; everyone knows it was always going to be painful regardless, but now that pain is going to be under Canada's own terms, instead of the US' terms.

A better question would be "How can we, all Americans, help [] screw over the MAGAts?"

Because, you see, it's not up to others around the world as you implied (by the "help you" part) to fix up the mess you Americans created for yourselves (and the rest of the world that didn't get a say in any of it), either through direct support of the Orange Mussolini, or through your own inactions to prevent it from attaining office.... again, and letting happen all the shit it's inflicted to your country and the world.

Maybe start thinking more critically, then actually do something, anything to rectify this, instead of waiting and relying on others to do it for you.

Yes, I'd really like to see the "typical Canadian reaction" in this case. Methinks another burning down of the White House would ensue, not this mild version.

a new higher starting price of $899, which is up from the previous $799 base price and far above the $599 starting price of the 2024 model.

... which Apple blames on higher component costs due to the current AI bubble.... which Apple is itself contributing to. That's literally like Trump blaming the current high gas prices on Biden.

You can't make this shit up.

So much for the Mac Mini having a 'mini' price.

do wear capes and masks.... and helmets.

ClarityCheck left more than 9 million image files accessible in an unsecured Amazon S3 bucket, despite advertising its reverse-image search as "private and secure."

These privacy rapists are all the same!

Then why are LLMs so fucking stupid?

Fear used to be a powerful tool - used to be that a President doing something illegal would get them impeached, and they'd rather resign instead. How times have changed.

Perhaps the guillotine should be brought back for ' treason, bribery, or "other high crimes and misdemeanors" '.
