'Your question is so stupid' Trump snaps when asked how much economic pain he'd tolerate
This rhetoric seems similar to that used by Milton Friedman and the Chicago school of economics. They applied 'economic therapy' to left-leaning economies in the late 1900s which involved rapid privatization of nationally owned industries. Negatively affected many otherwise healthy countries including England, Russia and Chilie.
The Shock Doctrine does a round robin of these events; highly recommended.
Project 2025 is about privatizing branches of government while citizens are too busy dealing with the fallout of economic collapse.

Programming: The Horror Game

Programming happens in the mind. Whats on the screen is a pale and lifeless polaroid devoid of the moving, complex soul of real code.

Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games

I don't mind ads that interrupt gameplay, but i hate when they require you to smile at your webcam and say "i love corporation!" and give two thumbs up. Other than that, the gameplay is monotinous enough to help me forget who i am and that the world is burning.

To me logging combined with a quick compilation has a good flow to it. Causes you to consider what you want to see and doesn't change the workflow if multiple stacks are involved.

duh-dum.
I remember SLAs including 'five nines' ensurances. That meant 99.999% uptime or an allowance of 26 seconds of downtime a month. That would be unheard of nowadays because no cloud provider can ensure that they will have that uptime.

I'm thinking an interface like papers please with some more expression and color.
You start as a hermit. Farmers and peasants come to you with problems and you craft spells, hexes and curses to cast on them. Sometimes you give them what they want, sometimes what they need and sometimes you throw a fireball. Maybe some rapid responses are required.
You gain a reputation and move from your shack into a town, and then into a castle where you become a court magician. Higher stakes, more options, more magic!
Get creative with how elements combine and have long lasting or delayed effects!

Scientific dietary advice
Just imagine how many not so obvious, or nuanced 'facts' are being misrepresented. Right there, under billions of searches.
There will be 'fixes' for this, but it's never been easier to shape 'the truth' and public opinion.

You don't need to put it in your pocket. Just throw it on the ground and kick it along as you walk.

Google is reportedly experimenting with forced DRM on all YouTube videos

Its got some great creators, Ive been on there a couple of years. Only downside which some might be glad to be rid of is a lack of comments, and feedback. Without any interaction you're just watching videos; doesn't feel like a community or conversation.
Seems a shame because there are creators who appear to value the voice of the community on a platform where their audience has no voice.
There's a thread from five years ago where a founder Dave Wiskus said they had plans for a thread-like comments section. So it's weird; must not align with whatever else it is they're doing.
I'd say the same thing about dropout TV. How can we get in the comments without a comments section!?
