Chuck Schumer fucking sucks.
The fact they’re deferring to AI for targeting despite a significant error margin is horrifying, a fact made even worse considering the collateral damage of other innocent bystanders.
A hotel in Augusta, Georgia. I had to come into town for a 2 week training event for my job. Unfortunately, it was occurring at the same time as the Master’s tournament, so finding a hotel was virtually impossible. The one my work booked for me was easily in the top 3 grossest accommodations I’ve ever had, and I’ve deployed to combat zones in the Army. Waking up in the middle of the night to my bed and walls covered in roaches still haunts me to this day. And when I say covered, I don’t mean a few. I mean covered.
It’s not any worse than Chrome, which isn’t saying much. Firefox is still the best user friendly browser, IMO.
I know times are hard, but you could build/find a PC for <$300 that doesn’t run that badly. Hell, even a ~$150-200 tablet would be way better than that.
This. YouTube is extremely helpful for anyone who can’t afford to take their stuff to a repair service or hire someone to fix something at their home. Just a few months ago, I thought my washer was done for, but it turned out to be a super simple fix that no website mentioned except for a super obscure YouTube video with only a couple hundred views. Saved me hundreds of dollars. There’s countless other anecdotes like that over the years.
This is what sucks so much about Google’s monopoly. I truly wish a cooperative of governments and/or academia created a publicly funded alternative as well as hosting an archive of YouTube on it. It would of course need to be administered by a non-partisan committee made up of representatives from multiple countries that had numerous safeguards against governmental political censorship. Hoping for a grassroots alternative is a lost cause, as the hosting and administrative expenses are just way too cost prohibitive, so publicly funded is the only solution I can see as being plausible

I agree it isn’t fair for others to put the ante on those that are sick, but I think your response is also unwarranted. The fact of the matter is, we all have something to lose. That’s the primary thing keeping mass civil unrest at bay. I will attend protests and vote, but I sure as hell am not going to start shooting bullets at politicians in the vain hope it’ll change anything while subsequently resulting in me going to jail for the rest of my life.
This is amazing, hahah
The problem is, nothing short of NA and EU governmental intervention will force Google to stop being such a nefarious, monopolistic, antitrust piece of shit. They’re just so utterly ubiquitous for Western businesses. You cannot have a small business* and hope to be successful without partaking in either Google or Facebook/Meta’s ad services. TikTok was becoming a huge threat to both those companies and look how viciously they were attacked.
The whole thing is beyond fucked, man. Kudos to you for trying to break free for your business, but I feel like you’ll just be fucking yourself in the long run.
Edit in advance: I should clarify that there will of course be exceptions where a small business can be successful just fine without advertising, but for those that rely on being discovered on a larger scale versus purely local, it is essential.
Try using the extension that can spoof what browser you’re using. Last year, Firefox was being hindered by YouTube until I downloaded that and made it think I was using a Chrome browser.
Trump hasn’t studied shit. His enablers and handlers have, though.
The judicial can only do so much. Congress being readily complicit makes this all much more difficult to combat.
Ahh, good to know. It’s hard to keep up with their constitutional crises blitzkrieg.
Not to mention that both the SCOTUS and other courts have ordered this administration to cease deporting people without due process, which they’ve unsurprisingly have gone on to ignore.
Especially when both that city’s mayor and state governor explicitly do not want those troops there.
Certainly, but overpopulation in a small area that isn’t able to support it is also true.
Something that had practically been eliminated from developed countries… The disinformation wars have gotten beyond out of hand, I can’t imagine how bad it’ll get before it gets better.

Are you referring to this photo?
Yes, he is definitely “groping” her here… Jfc.
And the kissing thing was definitely unacceptable, but hardly worth the amount of scandal it received.

I will add that the GOP also amplified the issue 100x. The fact that Trump of all people was tweeting out against Franken is peak hypocrisy.
