What comedy movies aged like fine wine?

Yeah, my guess is the blackface. But they really lean into it, and honestly, many of my friends of color thought it was hilarious, rather than offensive. Small focus group, but goes to show it's not a universally contentious topic.
And Tropic Thunder is a masterpiece.

VS Code now adds Copilot as a co-author to any git commits by default
Looks like they are back-tracking, but knowing MS, it won't be fully rolled back, just made slightly less shitty. They locked comments on the PR after the backlash.
Thank you all for your feedback, professional or otherwise. Sorry about the regression. I will work on fixing this in 1.119.
There is a number of issues with the Co-Author functionality:
- It should never have been enabled when disableAIFeatures is on.
- It should not add attribution to changes that were not done by AI.
- We need to make sure it receives a more test coverage before change the default.

California farmers to destroy 420,000 peach trees following Del Monte bankruptcy
Reply in thread
That's why they not only preferred the "heavy" syrup (aka sugar water, aka simple syrup) vs. natural jiuce. And worse, they started adding cherry extract to that, likely to add flavor to their flavorless peaches.

Michigan residents voted down a $16 billion Stargate AI data center, then construction began anyway
Reply in thread
I mean, it's shady for headlines, but it's not false. The board are residents, and the did vote it down. Then they "settled" and I'm betting it was a pittance compared to the data center value. In reality, it was probably a situation where whomever was backing the data center said to throw lawyers and/or money at the problem until it went away.

DeepSeek Permanently Reduces The Price Of Its Flagship V4 Model By 75 Percent
DeepSeek never said it was permanent in their pricing materials, the article writer did. They are just taking the current expiration date off an existing discount. It's absolutely a shot across the bow at Claude, OpenAI, et al., but the author was click-baiting, as is tradition.

Those numbers are so not reality. $2K/month is nowhere near the payment for the first one.

NextDNS makes all of the browser stuff you're talking about moot, other than ads served by the app/site itself. Also blocks ads in apps, games, etc. I can't even remember what it was like to play a mobile game that has video ads jammed in your face.
