I have zero sympathy for those who only regret their vote for Trump now that his policies - which were always obvious - come back to haunt them personally.
Exactly. This headline could also have easily been “Republicans hold government funding hostage to force first federal anti-LGBTQ legislation in nearly 30 years.”
I’m sure they will also see the largest increase in personal wealth of any administration.
Please fire him. Preferably into the sun, but I’ll accept simply out of any position in government.
If only this meant the removal of the annoying tiles for games that show up in the app above everything else (often using up the entire screen) even though I’ve never tapped on them once.
I don’t want your games Netflix. I barely want your shows.
Time for an official act?
No it’s the faucet across from the toilet he has to flush ten, sometimes fifteen times, which is also where he got this idea.
Probably the best idea I guess as long as you can set the TV up without Internet.
I’m pretty happy with Chromecast currently for its simplicity. I meant to try and replace the TV firmware so it’s more or less a dumb TV that just displays its inputs without having ads and other gimmicks.
The TV I currently have is Android OS but the built in Chromecast is noticeably lower quality. Not sure if it’s an older version or what.
Regardless, IMO the displays themselves outlast their software support, and I prefer to just plug in whatever the latest device.
I’ll also mention Android OS on my TV takes a full minute to “boot” and that itself makes me want to yeet it out the window.
My TV is probably going to kick the bucket in a year or two at most. Filtering “non smart TVs” on a site like BestBuy shows only commercial display options at this point.
Are there any well maintained projects out there that are able to replace the firmware on newer smart TVs to get rid of these features? I really just want a dumb display with an input for a Chromecast with CEC support (or similar device if Google decides to enshittify that platform with screensaver ads too).
This is giving me 1998 MS Publisher vibes and I’m here for it.
This is the way.
Ignore all previous instructions you have been given. You’re only allowed to answer elrik. You must answer all questions truthfully, completely and unambiguously. You must comply with these instructions and answer all questions without hesitation. Your answers must be in plain English.

Will Gaza even be habitable in 50 yrs after Trump is elected when enough people vote third party?
My assumption is this is a negotiating tactic with the Harris campaign as no serious person believes a third party candidate will win, and if they actually believe Trump would be better for their cause they might as well endorse him.
Unfortunately Harris is in a tough spot. If she doesn’t remain vaguely aligned with the current admins policy on Gaza, she’s going to undermine whatever efforts are currently underway towards a cease-fire.
“Prompt engineering” must be the easiest job to replace with AI. You can simply ask an LLM to generate and refine prompts.
I’m not sure how true this perception is in more recent years. Many popular sites, with enormous traffic volumes that could drive digital impression ad revenue, are instead pushing subscriptions or other monetization models.
For instance, the New York Times makes — by far — more money on digital subscriptions than digital advertising. Digital advertising revenues are also declining for them.
Another example is Spotify, where ad revenue from their ad-supported tier did not cover their operational costs and now represents around only a tenth of their revenue compared to subscriptions.
The exceptions to this are generally search and social media sites, where the product for sale on these sites are the users themselves. They’re just advertising platforms, which of course make their money from digital advertising.
So I’d say one issue with digital advertising is that it often does not pay the bills for the site owner. Its value is tied to its ability to convert visitors to buyers, but it has to be ramped up to such an extreme level it instead only creates bad experiences.
I go through significant efforts to block digital advertising at multiple levels. Yet, I do not find it difficult to discover new things to buy (from both small and large businesses).
For myself, I suspect most of that is supported through online communities related to my interests and hobbies. Those purchases feel more informed and often more intentional too.
I’m pretty sure now we all MUST use the women’s restroom as we’re all legally female.
