I don’t understand what the plan is. Becoming irrelevant and making it hard for users to access your site sounds like a losing play.

I’ve been using an account with a translator. They have some unique niche videos I can’t find anywhere else.

Please do not call these devices license plate readers. They are surveillance tools with capabilities that far exceed that of normal license plate reading devices. It’s like calling an RPG a spear.

True, but easier for whom? Easier for them, not easier for me when I have to clean up their mess.

I quit because of the constant advertising causing interruptions to my workflow. Unacceptable. I switched over to Linux generally because I kept finding Windows to be a deeply unserious and frankly disrespectful OS.

“Accidentally”

Microsoft’s notion of consent is terrifying.

I’m more concerned about this case setting horrific precedence for violating the privacy of a citizen.

We basically don’t have rights anymore as it is.

I think this is a much more attainable goal. You’re not trying to do better in a numeric sense but in a moral sense.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. Any edge that I have as an individual isn’t relevant against these people. They have far superior information. I don’t have a chance.

In the same vein, this is partly why I’ve never understood the mindset of individual investors. Like, it’s extremely arrogant to seriously believe that you have an edge over highly resourced institutions and billionaire investors who can afford the best analysts and mathematical models on top of their market influence. I can assure you that whatever strategy you have, theirs is better, and they don’t have to play by the same rules. What can you hope to bring to the table when you’re swimming with these sharks?

I’m happy for you. Sadly, my employer retirement plan does not allow me to select my investments. Only target date funds which track the total world stock market. At least it’s diversified.

Billionaires gonna billionaire.

BOMBSHELL reporting right there

Extremely lame work by Google. Infeasible? Why? This is absolutely a security vulnerability. Any ad SDK on any app on your phone can use it to associate your VPN activity.

Retaliating against journalists is not a good sign.

It’s a grift. You bribe me to get an exception. That’s how they get so rich so fast.

Don’t look at me. I have nothing to do with AI.

Ubuntu just added that feature. Not my distro of choice, but it’s coming up.

The problem is fossil fuels have way deeper pockets to pay bribes, and generally speaking, bribery is legal in the US.

I see a successful career for him as a US politician.
