Biden is like Trump's kryptonite. Trump always tries to get in the other guys head.

Can't get in Biden's head...Bidens not in there, good luck dude

That'll be $400 for the privilege...

Yeah, what a horrible headline lol.

It's about Facebook allegedly stopping it's streaming service to keep one of its largest ad revenue customers happy (Netflix), but also that court docs were unsealed in an anti trust suit, and Facebook may have agreements with Spotify and Netflix, to allow them to read users DM's (no idea why that's relevant but yeah, fuck Facebook! Lol)

It's very speculative though and may not be true. Not that it'd surprise me if it were true either though..

🤷 Does anyone here even use Facebook?

Sometimes there's good discussion though, and it's good to hear different takes.

Having comments also gives less power to the writer, like could you imagine if we all took Fox News or CNN headlines at face value and didn't discuss them?

I definitely read "sharting" at first glance

I've refused to buy these "flagship" phones that don't have a headphone jack. The 90s kid in me will live on, damnit!

Well yeah, as much as I dislike apple, the majority of Google's income comes from advertising - and to be the best at it, they need to have more personal data than everyone else, which = lots of tracking.

How do we open source hardware and make it competitive? If we figure that out, maybe we can break free of yet another 2 party system we're creating lol

Normalizing needless online servers is part of the issue here (only with AAA titles). These companies set up servers and say shit like "well it has to be paid for somehow!"

Games like Diablo 4 where you need internet to play single player. Diablo 2 resurrection removed all the LAN/Self hosting features of original D2.

Blizzard isn't the only company doing this either.

Fuck that noise.

When the gov and giant corps are in bed together, it almost makes for a fascist state. Just need to solidify the power into one, maybe two parties for good PR and...oh wait...

Chrome is working hard to get that sweet internet explorer status

Weird how none of this is in parts per million

They were approved last year in May by the FDA for human trials

Suck your foot all you want

For me it's that a lot of the open source options to replace the Adobe and MS Office suites just always fall short. Trouble shooting Linux issues feels like hell after a lifetime of learning how to troubleshoot Windows issues.

Adobe is the bane of my existence for many reasons, and I jump ship wherever I can. But GIMP doesn't really compare to Photoshop. Inkscape doesn't work well against illustrator - the only open source artistic creation software I swear by is blender. Davinci resolve isnt bad compared to premier pro though - but not After Effects.

MS office isn't great either (why does Ms word operate like it exists in a separate instance of reality that's forever stuck in the 90s?!)

Microsoft captured the corporate world and compatibility with the off brand stuff is a huge issue

My ad blocker is still working :p

That's exactly how I'd expect a government to use this. It's not a good path

If only it could fully work that way. If your on youtube, it still shows ads. Facebook? Still shows ads.

It works by blocking domains from specifically known advertising domains, usually ones that would pop up as banners on the side of a website. But if the ads come from the domain you're in, you're fucked, and still have ads.

It's a good first step though

"Handmaid's tail etc"?

How do you give one example of 25% of the chart and say "because of this one weird thing, basically everything equals the middle circle"

Yeah that makes sense, 1nm is just so small that I half assumed we're nearly at the size of molecules where it would make sense. Turns out a water molecule is only .27nm

I get the sense you're a bit biased here lol. If you think any of these politicians at the top give a shit about you, you're wrong.

Trump is just selfish (like most big politicians). You can't have no vision and a vision for how to destroy mankind at the same time.

It's a bit illogical to say you hate insurrectionists and people trying to alter society for their own benefit, and also say "id rather have Hitler as a president".

Do you see the irony here?
