I don’t like this version.

Just shovel this straight into the graveyard, Google. And take the Chromebook with it.

The pay. They make more (especially on a donation model) because they get to keep more of what people donate to them. YouTube takes like 30%, and I think Twitch is lower (5%?).

I hear that the discoverability is terrible on Twitch but I’m not a streamer, so what do I know.

YouTube music better not be on that list. I have problems with it adding generated music to radio stations all the time (stuff that’s unlabeled but that I know is AI from lists I’ve seen floating around the internet). I went through one ai “artists” whole catalog and downvoted every song they made and still sometimes I catch them slipping.

Tidal, Qobuz, Bandcamp, and Deezer are the ones if recommend.

Those birds were with me at the vet the whole time.

Fair.

Nobody expected them to suddenly put it back in.

Wait til they see the celebration in the streets when Trump kicks the bucket. If they think Kirk’s (well deserved) death reaction was heartless, I have some news for them.

I’m going to crab rave for at least a month. Crab rave every hour on the hour. I’m going to automate it. My liver can’t handle the bourbon anymore so this is all I have.

Had me until you said “muster a bit of empathy”. Trump would never.

Bit late for what was essentially a foreseeable problem.

This person was subject to a whole FBI/local law enforcement team showing up to their place of work, questioning, arresting, and holding them overnight. They not only no longer have a job (you clearly didn’t read the article), but they also will likely not be able to enter the profession they spent 4 years in college to get into.

The closed laptop erased her lesson plan. I don’t know if you know this but teachers don’t get paid for overtime. They do a lot of overtime including writing lesson plans. There’s a lot of unpaid labor that goes into being a teacher and she wasn’t even a full fledged teacher (she’s basically an intern).

She has a bad day and it ended her career before it even started. Because a company that propagates it’s brand by marketing it’s private messages as private decided to surveil it’s users.

Most people? I think you should reconsidering your definition of “most people”.

Here’s the thing. It’s an off color joke. Snapchat didn’t report her “master plan” to smuggle weapons into the school.

It reported what was essentially a private vent session from a woman who is young enough to have lived through a lot of the security theater of the active shooter drills happening in schools across the US to this day.

It would be like a boomer or perhaps Gen X’r making a joke about bomb shelters.

Or a millennial making jokes about suicide or bomb threats (both of which are things a lot of millennials actually have made jokes about).

Is it a cool thing to say in mixed company? No. But she wasn’t saying it in mixed company. She was talking to her boyfriend. She had the expectation that it was a private conversation.

It’s extremely likely that she wouldn’t have made the same joke if she had known it wasn’t private.

In any case though, you don’t have to be okay with the joke to see that this is basically an algorithmic invasion of someone’s expected privacy and that is an overstep in the name of security that actually violates privacy for security theatre.

You mean to tell me they can scramble a whole FBI team in less than an hour for a “terroristic threat” that isn’t even viable, but they let all those kids get shot in Uvalde?

There have been multiple active shooters who actually posted manifestos online before they committed the acts and those guys didn’t get a visit from the FBI in full riot gear.

How many people do you know who have made a joke about killing their boss? When I was in the Navy, Marines used to deliberately make dead baby jokes for the shock value. It’s not okay, but it is a fact that it happens and that’s unlikely to change.

Three of the people at my work have one (couldn’t tell you what variant) and it’s astounding to see. They’re from other countries though so I have to assume that has something to do with it.

I assume there was a promo (in Chile or somewhere else near it where they’re from) because most of the people I work with use iPhones these days and all our work device are iPhones.

I would argue that it’s not just advertising. It’s also a lot to do with how many people grew up in really terribly design homes with terrible hoarding situations.

A lot of millennials seem to course correct to the other extreme. Add to that the rental market where neutral is better because it can be customized without clashing with what renters already own.

“Deprive them skeletons” is an awkward slogan, but it’s one I can get behind.

They Millenial’d it.

GPS, telematics(the driving data your car collects and sends back to the automotive company who built it), over the air updates, some SOS style features like OnStar, maybe satellite radio.

Edit: Maybe apps, and stuff like updates to the onboard owners manual (because some cars don’t come with a paper one anymore). Oh. And using your phone as a key.

Here’s hoping someone destroyed his portrait and the aging speeds up.
