With respect to Mr. Bunny, this is not saying much. Think about it, how many random picks would it take to find someone who better embodies those values than the orange baboon?

I didn't know him, but apparently he financed the republicans. If that is indeed the case I say fuck this guy.

On the other hand the site took out the middleman/madam who traditionally exploited these women (perhaps man as well) So, good for them!

Edit: I'm an idiot, I'm sure the site took a fat percentage of the earnings, so technically they just replaced the pimps. And just like that my sympathy is gone...

For Android user I can recommend Newpipe. For the desktop I use FreeTube

Both have occassional issues when YT rolls out their latest enshittification features, but the devs are quite responsive.

Regardless, YT is a loosing battle, so prepare for the day when Google will win this arms race. That is why alternatives like PeerTube are important.

Never too late to dicover a classic.

By sheer chace I came across Alpha Centauri (wikipedia) a sequel to the original Civilization on gog.com. Best purchase ever. Exceptional gameplay. The best 5$ I remember spending.

I can recommend the Fairphone for those who appreciate actually owning the device they paid for

Organized religion conditions people not to think but to view everything through the lens of their dogmas. Faith (unquestioned acceptance of prescribed believes) being nr 1. May never occur to them that the scientific method does not require said unquestioned acceptance.

As with everything crypto this was a huge scam. Besides the obvious profiting from gullable idiots, the other use case is to illegally funnel money.

Very stylish, barely noticable repair 🤣

Which doesn't mean very much. Like an addict saying I can ditch XYZ "if needed"

I'd say not before the bosses and shareholders agree to take 50% of their compensation in the form of AI tokens.

These fucking leeches...

True that

I'm confused, Musk is saying we're heading to abundance and work being optional. Merz is saying we need to work more. I don't know which overlord to listen to. They really need to compare notes at the next "rule the pawns" meeting...

I think there is an intention to convey a clear message. I will be warching the distro's. Red Hat, being an IBM company, will probably back this age verification farce. I'm not so sure about the community distro's like Debian or Arch. Maybe even Ubuntu will stop short.

Despite being a minor technical feature, I think this will have a disproportionate response from people.

This seems just as toyish as did dinnerplate sized drones 2y ago. So chances are I'm wrong again.

It is important to realize that what is happening in the US is not because of any single person.

The orange baboon is but a sympthom, not the disease. I like how some YT video put it: the disassembly of the rule of law is being done by a rare and fragile coalition of multiple small but powerful private groupings on the one hand and the clueless masses on the other.

Off-topic, but...

it occurred to me the other day that Tesla (the actual person) has been exploited by Edison in real life. A century later his name is exploited yet again by another "genius inventor". I just feel bad for the guy.

👆Here is an idea👏

It should work both ways donnit?

Hard to interpret this amount any other way than permission to keep doing the same thing. $20M is like a rounding error for Big Tech.

It is quite obvious that it's AI
