This is a simple rule to live by - if you see advertising, start by assuming you don't need it. If it's for a brand, assume that brand is overcharging you. If you see product placements or informal/influencer content, assume that's a paid advertisement. Think very carefully about what you need, make a shopping list and monitor the prices, so you know when to buy (and give yourself a cooldown to avoid impulse buying - if you haven't needed it while waiting for a special, maybe you don't need it at all). Even for groceries, know the prices of items, and adjust your weekly purchases to target specials.

Using ad blockers online on the other hand is just a good idea...

When your only tool is a laser, every problem looks like a large balloon.

Greetings! The good news is that your time machine has successfully transported you to the year 2026. The bad news is that it's 2026.

The saddest thing about your post is that it was likely paid for by American taxpayers.

What an idiot. AI is going to accelerate global warming, which is going to drive millions to migrate...

I was going to ask this very question.

But it was a genius move, since nobody noticed his demanding a cut off the profits of ... whatever--as the AC would have us believe he believes. Nobody who can use a web browser is as dumb as they pretend to be while justifying the malfeasance du jure.

I'll add that the "leftist" observation that Twitter was a private company and had no obligation to to amplify anyone was in response to Rightists claiming "Section 230 violations" and "First Amendment Violations" that should result in government sanctions. Now the algo is implemented by a self-proclaimed mecha-Hitler that undresses children, and the people who cheer it pretend that nobody is old enough to remember the before times.

Hate to feed the trolls, but the tagline was always "news for nerds, stuff that matters." This was never a purely tech site.

History shows again and again how nature points out the follies of man.

Each version is a work, so in theory, it could be enforced per newly added ffmpeg commit which resulted in a binary being created by Rockchip.

Nope. Statutory damages/a? (504(c)(2)) are awarded only if the work is registered prior to the commencement of infringement. Was each newly added ffmpeg commit separately registered with the U.S. Copyriight Office? No? Then no bueno.

There are exactly two copyright registrations for ffmpeg, for v0.5 and r21770. That's your ceiling.

Arizona pays $9,500 in per-capita income tax and receives $14,800 back. I imagine some of that may be spent on roads.

No, the biggest problem is that computers are fundamentally calculators with the addition of pointers and goto, and computer scientists have spent the last five decades trying to hide those two features from users because if you expose them you have a general purpose machine that can be made to do anything.

Many people--including fans of Jimmy Kimmel, or drag performance, or news reports critical of the president or the late St. Charlie, or non-violent protesters--would consider government seizure of the means of speech to be the greatest threat to free speech. But it's true that you can now insult out-groups and tout ivermectin on Twitter now, so I guess the First Amendment is doing better than ever!
