that’s okay they will replace users with AI. it’s going to be AI all the way down

and blamed users for not knowing since it’s open source and anyone concerned should have read the source.

it also drives more revenue to Google as they have less bounce rate off their search page. they get more monetization off their own sponsored results.

hurts sites that are providing information as now less people click through from search. less human traffic and increased bot traffic, which of course Google won’t pay for as it filters bots out on its ad network.

at this point its becoming a class genocide

is it even an insult when just saying a fact?

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.

some of the most unique versus games i remember:

• R.A.D. (giant fighting robots)
• gitaroo man

also one of my favorite co-op

• Tenchu: wrath of heaven

i would guess a lot of them make connections over the networks that trade in that kind of material.

Biden trips on stairs, everyone laughs, ”haha old man old." Trump can’t make it up an escalator, “this cannot stand! let’s gas NYC.” these aren’t jokes, it’s their desires that make them feel good.

he wants to Thanos the world

not to mention all the ai bullshit is offloading it’s power costs into the people connected to the grid. literal leches

they promised Delamain and all we got is Brendan

the main difference is that Microsoft builds features quickly and for profit. that means the focus isn’t always on what the user wants, so they make tradeoffs that are good enough to not disturb the user base. recently with the AI craze basically showing how little they really care for the user.

Linux on the other hand is FOSS, anyone who wants a feature can build it. this is slower to deliver because the profit incentive (if there even is one) isn’t as big but that also means there don’t have to be compromises to delivered features.

looking at both these operating models i would rather be in the group building the future for users rather than shareholders. if it means waiting a few months for a few things to work as smoothly as I want I’m ok with that because it only keeps getting better and it’s literally free.

i never know what’s expected on those type of captcha. if the handle bars of a bike go into an adjacent box and are 99% covered by a hand does that count? what do you do when you have a blurry image full of jpg artifacts and are asked to identify if it contains a fire hydrant. I’m pretty sure it usually classifies me as a bot for being too exact since I’m asked follow ups for a few minutes until i give up and just close the tab out of annoyance.

no one understands how these models work, they just throw shit at it and hope it sticks

fair point micromachines is finicky to play so it’s good for teaching patience lol. although the mechanic will only give points if one player falls to far behind and goes off screen. when i was a kid my brothers and i would just explore the maps and played it more as we have to stay close enough to not lose. as an adult the game just becomes chase your kid, probably best to not play it seriously

from a sega childhood my top:

• toejam and earl
• micro machines
• world of illusion (mickey and donald)
• California games
• Bonanza Brothers (has guns but in game they are tranquilizers and enemies wake up)

my prediction of the dumbest timeline is we just nuke them next year

every time we had a D president, the concern goes away it’s an R in office and then spending goes through the roof.

from your own source

There is a broad consensus among economists that protectionism has a negative effect on economic growth and economic welfare, while free trade and the reduction of trade barriers has a positive effect on economic growth.

A 2016 study found that “trade typically favors the poor”, as they spend a greater share of their earnings on goods, as free trade reduces the costs of goods

So to reduce costs of goods we will make cheap items from China cost more so USA made can compete at a higher price. why doesn’t the math work here? how does this result in a better economy?
