I’ll be quitting after my wife finishes her series. I had noticed it is getting worse. Plus, unless I screwed up somehow, that $2.99 no-adverts charge appeared without any action on our part. We cancelled and went back to the cheaper version. It really bugs me that a company making money hand over fist finds it necessary to fuck their customers over unless they pay even more.

Barring any eye issues, I remove them always when speaking to people. I find it disrespectful to speak without making visible eye-contact.

I see what you did there. “Nazi’ing Communities”. /s

It’s all “one instruction at a time” regardless of high processor speeds and words like “intelligent” being bandied about. “Reason” discussions should fall into the same query bucket as “sentience”.

This is just Trump’s M.O. No reason required.

I don’t know why but this reminded me of a joke…“My parents took me to the doctor because they thought I had mono. Turns out I was just lazy”. I think that underneath it all we are like cows and just want to eat grass and bask in the sun as a default behaviour.

Too little too late? Some European businesses have already made the change to open source. Shit should be free to anyone doing business with it anyway.

It goes to pay off the debt of all of the nations in the world and will then usher in a new age of peace, obviously.

I think AI is positioned to make better decisions than execs. The money saved would be huge!

He did the DOGE on his twitter minions.

Yes. Do a time travel story and new tech will be seen as miraculous magic by those pesky Elizabethans.

I have visions of Elon sitting in his lair, stroking his cat, and using his laptop to cause this crash. /s

It’s breathtaking how quickly the President of the United States and his good South African buddy can topple a superpower.

You can bet Verizon has a special secret division to place scam calls and texts so they can protect you from them because capitalism.

While investing money to create good documentation is the preferred way, I cannot trust it to be accurate in this day and age of cutting corners. It takes a bit longer but I’ll always look at the code itself to get me closest to the truth of what is going on under the hood.

This reminds me of an old quote well before the advent of tech and internet…“Why let the truth get in the way of a good story?”.

Driving a manual is a bit tricky to start with but minimum practice and you’ll learn everything you need to know. Everything else is experience. Once you’ve driven it for a while, especially through various weather conditions, you’ll find that you have more control of the vehicle when driving a manual stick shift. Even three on the tree makes you more free.

Advertisers are invasive like zebra mussels.
