“Prediction markets” is sure one hell of a marketing spin.

It’s gambling. Nothing more, nothing less.

One big problem with that is changing days in the middle of the day…

Yes, it reverts all of the theme changes made in the new version

Should not have hidden the setting to turn it off in about:config, but at least they did put it in there… It really is horrible looking

In the post describing what’s in it

These things that we see all the time… Yeah, I’ve literally never seen anything even remotely like it from the US government.

Assigned Republican At Birth?

On that note, when I see news covering Cali state worker telework, they love to go to the streets and find everyone they can to interview who’s attitude seems to be “fuck you, I can’t work from home so you shouldn’t either”

I can’t help but feel like that’s intentional to turn people against remote workers

I mean… Even if they’re just selfish assholes, do they not get that traffic is getting worse again because agencies and businesses are forcing return to office? That more people working remote is actually good for people who can’t for whatever reason too?

Sorry, tangent; but GN’s attitude on this has yet another incredibly frustrating and bad bit of policy from him

I really hope he doesn’t run for president, and if he does, that he gets shut down early in the primary.

No, no… Paid tiers will get relevant and targeted ads, to make the experience more immersive and personal! And if people don’t want it, they can opt out with a small additional fee! This will enable us to provide a better experience for everyone!

Who doesn’t want a better experience?

Yeah, um… Regardless of what you think about current AI, don’t connect it to shit like this. Just… Don’t.

And if you’re gonna be sarcastic or joke with it… Tell it that. Don’t assume it’ll infer your meaning if it isn’t literally in the text, no matter how insightful it appears to be.

Didn’t just happen but it’s a recent (and welcome) change, just a couple months or so really… The Frame was just added in the last couple weeks but Machine and OS were both added around when Machine released.

Very useful for Linux gamers in general!

I mean, it does look nasty, but it’s also very old. Without a picture of it taken in that era, we’ve no real way to tell how it actually looked to the customers who ate this shit, it might have just looked like a chewy caramel or licorice bar

Mostly I think that was done (for plot reasons) so when it went haywire, they couldn’t just cut the power to fix it

This is how Thrawn would have used teleporters

That’s an automatic reject from me, that’s not a patch, it’s an overhaul

Unfortunately, there was a time that people thought using these kinds of tile was a good idea for kitchen counters.

I can assure you they were very mistaken and they really suck. Be glad you’re not aquatinted with them.

Nobody wants to get datacenter chlamydia

Sounds like Australian based VPN nodes will get a lot more popular…

Anyone ever consider that Google could, you know… Afford to fund their own damned data center project if they want it so badly?

I’ll have to check it out on fdroid then

The free downloads, BTW, isn’t even enough to cover my entire state (California), but it’s a pretty big damned state.

It’s still a little off-putting to me that they are charging for freely available data from someone else, but if part of that is their processing and formatting of the data, then I guess that’s not quite as bad

Just checked out OsmAnd and managed to blow through the “free” downloads just downloading the maps local to me before even learning that it limits how much we can download of the free community data before charging… It’s a bit off-putting that they’re charging for open source data, unless I’m missing something…
