I have no doubt the EU won't have much mercy for American corporations going* forward.

My phone REALLY wants me to type gong. Gong gong gong gong gong.

Going online with flash carts on a new console is certainly a choice. The first Switch already hardware banned for doing that, so this isn't new.

What's more depressing than American healthcare?

Canadian conservatives replacing theirs with the American system without a fight.

There's a guy on Youtube who crossed the entire length of Africa on foot. Got kidnapped twice IIRC.

Russ Cook.

Bots write the articles, bots post the articles, bots respond to the articles, bots argue with other bots, bots repost bot reactions to bot articles. Bots scrape the internet made up of bots making content for other bots to train itself to act like...uh oh. Uh oh.

Who cares though, did line go up this quarter?

I think you'd be an asshole for accepting an invite to visit with someone you clearly don't care about anymore who also now has infant/children who you don't want to see.

In the few years since we spoke she’s had two babies by two different guys.

Flavor text, or judgemental? If you disapprove of her life choices possibly quite strongly, then yes please don't bother this woman.

Anyways, you won't an asshole if you just let that already dead friendship stay dead. I dislike children enough to seek out sterilization, so I get it.

Seek out like-minded friends instead and you'll be all good.

I can only keep up the charade around my niece and nephew for our bi-monthly supper visits. I'm a good uncle for ~6-12 hours a month lol that's my limit.

Itch doesn't appear interested in suing unfortunately. I want them to, not because I'm bloodthirsty, but to set precedent that this wreckless use of AI content moderation isn't OK. I can imagine Disney and Nintendo following this.

Should be in Uplifting News.

Ah you know, not the outcome I hoped for but it's exactly what I expected from humans.

paraphrasing a little more than a half hour of the video: “Man, fuck Thor/Pirate Software for either lying or misunderstanding and signal boosting his incorrect interpretation of the campaign.”

I agreed with Ross previously that Thor taking a really dumb fuck position helped get more attention on the issue that was, IMO, as hopeless as trying to get the masses to care about or understand Net Neutrality. That was what I saw repeated and upvoted at the time even before Thor revealed himself to be a gigantic narcissistic nepo baby bullshitter more recently.

If you watched the vid OP, what changed his opinion? I'll check it out once I'm home from work regardless.

Land of the...

That's how targeted advertising works yes. Not much of a reveal there?

I guess people need the obvious pointed out, and yeah fair enough.

Before I get dogpiled: I'm not defending them. I'm saying it's sad people actually think or thought the bar was higher than this. You can tell me Google, Xhitter, whatever did the same and I'd say the same thing. You're the product. You. Are. The. Product.

Wow. That's really fucking stupid.

I never fell for mp3.exe, but I did install Real Player and use the built in browser once.

I learned how to remove a Trojan virus that copy pastes itself into a few directories before mom got home from work at 9 years old.

People wonder why I know so much about computers, a large part was fucking up the expensive family PC repeatedly.

looks around for consequences

wtf I love the French now.

Worthless research.

That subreddit bans you for accusing others of speaking in bad faith or for using ChatGPT.

Even if a user called it out, they'd be censored.

Edit: you know what, it's unlikely they didn't read the side bar. So, worse than worthless. Bad faith disinfo.

I have some trauma because she rules /r/comics with an iron fistfull of mods protecting her from any criticism at all and got litigious about parody edits.

Please Drink Verification Can and repeat the following phrase: "Blessed be The Algorithm" to continue watching "Compilation of people falling down #596 FUNNY"

Life of Brian is arguably better for a ensmuggening Python based education.

That...should be intolerable for redditors, you'd think this would finally make them leave.
