Yeah, now you just get a wage ceiling where you're only employable if you're cheaper than the robot.

The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot
Yeah, blame your customers.
Simplifying is really different from what they did which is completely alter characters, unnecessarily kill off characters, introduce new plots that didn't exist, etc. The Lord of the Rings movies, and the recent Dune movie both did a lot of that but are considered fantastic adaptations. Even Game of Thrones was an excellent adaptation for the first ~5 seasons and had huge mass market appeal while still being complex.
This is just shitty writers making excuses.

You can get a magnetic phone mount for like $10-15 that fits in the CD slot like in the picture. Not sure why this is a thing.

Looks like Google has some tooling available that might help: https://protectingchildren.google/tools-for-partners
Probably other options too.

What are some examples of xkcd 2347?
A developer maintained a NodeJS package called left-pad that would add leading whitespace to strings. He unpublished the package and broke basically the entire Node ecosystem until the repo owner forcibly republished it against the author's wishes.

Reddit’s IPO Filing Shows Lots Of Losses After Nearly 20 Years
Reply in thread
I'd imagine reddit could be profitable too if they stopped throwing money at stupid shit like NFTs and avatars. Selling API access for AI training was a good move in terms of bringing in income since it basically costs them nothing, and they could have totally pulled that off without pissing off half their userbase.

The term "tankie" was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.[5][6]

Does this community accept insane Craigslist posts?
Eh, just kind of a sad paranoid schizophrenic. "Gang stalking" and "targeted individual" are a dead giveaway.

8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates
If you have proper full continuous deployment infrastructure setup then you can do minor updates of things like dependencies automatically. I'd guess that's what's happening here.

More of the insane sovcit book with link to online copy in the comments.
I'm pretty sure this author is a paranoid schizophrenic or something. Most of these guys are just dumb and gullible - this one is just kind of sad.
