There are very few places on the Internet where your data won’t be scraped and used for AI training. Every social media company does this, including Discord and Reddit. Federated platforms are quite easy to scrape (not sure if they are yet). Even if you make your own website, it’s definitely going to be scraped by crawlers from every company wanting to make AI.

Keyboard players: everything is keys

Just like AAA game studios, movie studios don’t want to take risks, so they go with productions they consider “safe”: aim for the lowest common denominator, play into nostalgia, don’t make anyone upset by touching subjects like politics, religion. And you end up with the garbage they are making right now.

Also, the movie industry is struggling because of many reasons. Movies are getting too expensive, the safe formulas big studios relied on aren’t working anymore, customer habits are changing with people going less to movie theaters.

At the same time, just like with video games, the indie world is in a golden age. You can get amazing cameras and equipment for quite a small budget. What free software like Blender can achieve is amazing. And learning is easier than ever, there are so many free educational resources online.

Zfs is just software raid, not an archival /backup solution. Sure, you can hold data on a zfs array for long term, but not without active maintenance (powering the drives periodically, replacing old drives, doing some kind of data refresh / scrubbing) and backups.

That’s why recycling goes after reduce and reuse.

Sadly, unreadable on mobile. Text doesn’t word wrap, dragging to pan it is annoying and makes the keyboard show up.

Which includes mining all the rare materials used in manufacturing the GPUs and ASICs (that we’re actually running out of) .

Google is primarily an ad company

I’m pretty sure they keep edit history too.

I hate services that force you to download an app when the functionality could be provided in browser. Apps have a lot more permissions to access things that wouldn’t be accessible in browser.

Microsoft is a conglomerate of many small companies that share infrastructure and a few other things like accounting and HR.

Not all work can be parallelised.

The parties in power are failing to address the problems ordinary people are facing. Problems like the excessive immigration of people from Asian countries, the insane housing prices, rising cost of living etc. People are looking for alternatives.

These extremists know exactly what the problems are and how to talk about them. They also know better to meet people where they are, like on social media. To most people who are ignorant of politics, these parties seem to solve all their problems.

And let’s be real, half the population is below average intelligence. Way too many people don’t realize or even worse, don’t care, about what these parties are really about.

I have a 12y old car and have no such issues.

True, but even electrical vehicles need lubrication, cooling, breaking fluids etc.

I’m expecting that, as EVs become more common, the car maintenance industry will catch up.

Microsoft should also be to blame here. Sending BIOS updates via automatic windows updates should not be a thing.

After ~20-30 years, rubber gaskets and seals and cable insulation start failing. Plastic becomes brittle, especially if exposed to the sun. How do they solve this problem?

Fucking Teams does this and it’s really annoying. Clicking the downloaded notification doesn’t take you to where the file was downloaded.
