Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??
I've got so many layers of adblock it's hard to know which one(s) are responsible for blocking the ads.

Average Arch exp
I feel like the people that perpetuate this meme have never used Arch. I've ran it on multiple computers for just over a decade and only once have I had an issue. And that one time, it was my fault. It's been the most solid OS I've used.
Meanwhile, my headless Ubuntu server couldn't do a dist-upgrade without shitting all over itself. I only ran Ubuntu because of the constant "never use Arch for servers" talk. I wish I had never listened to that. Everything I own runs Arch now and it's so nice.

Is it? I don't remember seeing a guy running for Congress that promised he'd prevent huge corporations from running rough shod over everything.
People like saying stuff like "just vote better", but the fact is the vast majority of people that run for any office are pro-big business because that's their background and the lobbyists give them lots of money to get elected. Where's the anti-big business guy going to get his money to run? And without money, you sure aren't winning.
Through lobbying, corporations have us all by the balls. It doesn't matter what side of the isle you're on; both sides have basically been endorsed by big money.

Pence Says Trump Shouldn’t Be Disqualified Even If CONVICTED — Says ‘That Needs To Be Left To The American People’

If this actually works, the next step will be abolishing the two-term limit. "Leave it to the will of the people to decide if they want a dictatorship."

Planning on creating a huge torrent. Should I put the files into archives?
Jpeg is already compressed, so compressing them again won't do anything but make it impossible for people to selectively download just the image/folder they desire.
Metadata on the other hand sounds like text files, which compress very well. Wether the space savings is worth it is hard to answer without more info. I'd personally lean towards not archiving it.

"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?
Reply in thread
The screenshot literally says "sponsored recommendation". Not sure how much more clear it can be that somebody paid money for that.

This looks awesome, and plays the original carts: Atari 2600+ - Official Announcement Trailer
Fuck them for not even bothering to include two controllers in this purchase price. Those things are basic as can be; we're not talking dual-shock here. They had better be very cheap to buy.
Also, what's the point of including Combat if you've no ability to play against somebody?

Gary Bowser is out of jail after being sued by Nintendo and would be an interesting AMA here
Reply in thread
I don't agree with the punishment one bit.
But it was never about getting their money back. Instead they just wanted a life-ruining sentence and large number to give to the media to scare people into not fucking with Nintendo.
Nintendo knows they'll never see even one million of that 65. Hell, they'll probably never even make enough to cover the lawyer fees. They don't care as they're playing the long game. They're trying to prevent the next Bowser before it happens. Which won't work, but they'll never understand why.

Police in England installed an AI camera system along a major road. It caught almost 300 drivers in its first 3 days.

Probably because they wouldn't see a dime of revenue from this. It would be a new law that just says they have to do it. At best, they would be allowed to pass the costs to customers somehow, likely through our plate registrations at the DMV.
It's basically a no win for the car companies. Lots of ill will, increased chance of litigation, increased costs for building cars, all for nothing.
In fact, I bet the car companies lobbyists are the reason we don't have this already.

Eh, I kinda doubt this will be his last mugshot. Although I guess the first will still be most famous.

No, this is why you don't pass on the right. Not sure about where this was taken, but lots of places have laws about this. And the ones that don't, it's still a bad idea. The blind spot of the driver is worse on that side.
