Given the number of porn video websites now, I don’t think the cost of video hosting is the major issue.

The bigger issue is likely having to moderate the site. Twitch focused on live streaming as a way to reduce exposure to copyrighted content and TikTok kept videos short enough that it could skate around fair use by not being able to air longer form copyrighted content.

There is also ability for external filtering.

It is easy to buy additional software to restrict websites. That equipment doesn’t work for most video games.

And compared to Birdemic, it is bad in a good way.

I mean, you shouldn’t piss on hospitality like that.

I have a bachelor’s degree and technical master’s degree in the field I’m working in. The master’s degree has been useful in my line of work. I wouldn’t get a doctorate in my field because I don’t want to do research, even if it would be cool crashing trucks into barriers.

Kind of conflicted?

I’m fine with the idea of exchange of money for sexual services. I don’t have any moral qualms with that practice.

My concern is that, even in some legal structures, it tends to encourage the preditation of some sex workers for the benefits of others exploiting people’s sexual labor.

Was it ever easy?

It isn’t even just the performance and bloat issues or the AI.

As you hinted, Windows 11 made a lot of changes to the UI. I can’t think of a single change made which I liked as someone who has had to deal with Windows since before 95. Windows 11 felt like a downgrade from Windows 10.

You’ve got a lot of managers with purchasing authority who developed a ton of muscle memory on old Windows. The new UI changes have made Windows feel alien enough that you can’t use retraining costs as an excuse to keep with Windows.

Windows 11.1.1 for desktops?

It is easier to get the public to accept they don’t have a safety driver involved at all with this middle step.

Nah. The worst idea is identifying another ethnicity as making better tasting meat and saying that it isn’t an issue to eat people outside your kin or kith.

Then you subjugate the population as breeding stock to create food for your society because the superior humanity shouldn’t concern itself with the treatment of lesser peoples. After all, if they didn’t deserve to be eaten, then why do they taste so good?

My worst experience in Word has been adapting a state based Word document to municipal use. The state knows what it is doing and uses styles as a great way to organize the document to provide direction.

Then the fucking county had a 60 year old secretary create a wrapper for that document and it fucking breaks everything.

That’s a pretty good list you got there.

That sucks. I feel for you.

Inside, nothing noticeable.

Outside, also nothing noticeable.

Kind of.

Due to historic low taxes for the wealthy, they have been able to use their capital to build on more capital, pushing up the value of assets.

Rich people hoarding wealth is part of the reason why housing prices are so insane, but it isn’t the reason why groceries cost more.

I would look at how your peers would see it.

Things I can see coming ahead:

Parts of the world are left to let nature take it back as insurance companies continue to pull back from certain markets. For instance, I expect Florida to depopulate and a lot of the settlements to remain to become hardened against hurricanes and sinkholes.

Automation comes after a lot of skilled white collar and blue collar workers. The one industry that grows is elderly care, which has a limit on relevance as people stop having money when they get old.

Schools with human teachers become rare as states start pushing remote education options to handle budget shortfalls.

Most major metro areas have massive AI supported surveillance systems to reduce crime. It works, but it is also used to stifle political dissent. The use of the systems are not tied to political ideology of the government but to the wealthy wanting to live in a monitored place.

AI for cars & trucks becomes common. Cities still build for mass transit as the infrastructure to support automated taxis chokes the roads.

No matter the politics of the current government, most governments in the future are well controlled vaguely nationalist and designed to protect capital from the population.
