No more celebrities.

YouTube’s attempts at blocking Adblockers are pathetic

I've long maintained that the majority of programmers working for Alphabet/Google/YouTube spent more time learning how to get the job than how to do the job well. There is a lot more to coding than "Cracking the Coding Interview."

It's not about building cool things over there. Is has not been that way for a long time. They just want the money and reputation.

I tried the 100 free searches from Kagi and compared the results to DDG. In almost every search the results were the same. Even the order. I think the real benefit to Kagi is the lack of ads and tracking, tha's all.

I think the real reason search sucks these days is the AI they put between you and what your looking for. It's no longer searching for what you typed, it's searching for what it thinks you want.

You forgot traitor. It's the worst one in my book and shouldn't be left out.

I think the weapons are traveling through Russia. I also think it benefits Russia more than China considering the US is supplying Ukraine. I suspect that Putin strategized that splitting US involvement would weaken US support in Ukraine.

There was a recent story about weapons leaving North Korea via train bound for Russia.

Because we have a first-past-the-post voting system that all but guarantees only two parties are ever real contenders. We must to move toward ranked-choice voting if we ever want to have more options.

I'd really like it if we stopped blaming the corporation and start blaming the people that make the decisions there and the people that implement those decisions. From the CEO's to the programmers. Put their names everywhere, show the world who actually ruined it. Google was the best resource humanity had to access information. Now, more often than not, I can not find anything related to my search. The search algorithm they used 20 years ago was better than this new junk.

Why SpaceX? I hate Musk and do not support any of his other... anythings. However, rocket go zoom then land without boom is fun to watch. I am genuinely curious why SpaceX is bad.

I completely agree about everything else you mentioned.

I wonder how long until facebook adds it to their surveillance stack.

I have a close relative that was killed by the Philips CPAP Machine. The lawyers for the class action recently told us that almost a billion dollars were set aside by Philips to pay out claims. It's not enough. The people at the top need be put in prison for this. Fines and monetary compensation for the families is not enough. If they do end up in prison it would be some of the most wonderful schadenfreude if someone used the money they get from the lawsuit to hire other prisoners to torture the Philips CEO's every day they are in until they can take it no more and kill themselves.

Yet, somehow the rich get richer, even in "once in a lifetime" economics crashes.

For fucks sake.

I clearly said I do not like musk. I even went as far as saying I hate him but still that's the first place you went. What the fuck?

In my experience, Jellyfin is better than Plex in every single way.

You forgot the overdraft charge. That -2 is now -37.

It is properly called Freedom of Navigation and has nothing to do with one-upmanship. It is international law that pretty much everyone agrees to except China. We, as Americans, are in the best position to counter their territory grabs in the area by conducting Freedom of Navigation operations.

Fuck trump and his supporters. Traitors, every last one of you that still support this fascist shit.

You are either too lazy or commenting in bad faith because what you are requesting is in the linked article. I left Texas because of people like you who only see what they want. Y'all blind.

I have read about the interference with astronomy and am not for it. It didn't occur to me when I asked.

Thanks for answering my question.

This person only comments in bad faith. Check their history.

I think the probability of the cops catching you using a net launcher is too high.

I think a diy directional emp would be a better choice. https://techlinkcenter.org/news/heres-the-armys-now-patented-emp-rifle-attachment-for-taking-out-small-drones#!

For the more technically inclined, I would imagine something like a software defined radio with a powerful transmitter could take control of the drone and go park it in the Hudson.

I'm pretty sure all of these options are highly illegal. So this is just for informational purposes only. :)
