BT 6.1 introduced Randomized RPA (Resolvable Private Address) which should help with some of the security issues. That said I wouldn’t expect to see headphones implementing 6.1 for quite some time. It just came out in May.

I’m up 192% for the year, so I’ll take the tiny dick jokes. Admittedly the signal to noise ratio is pretty awful, but the assets themselves can be smart investments.

The CEO also said in an interview that he would use Chrome to mine endless amounts of user data. As the dead internet becomes a problem, he wants to use Chrome itself to detect when it’s being used by a human and scrape all the data they produce. I instantly uninstalled the Perplexity app after seeing that.

Sorry I can’t find the link.

The other option is to boycott everything — bring the entire economy to a halt. Don’t show up to work, don’t shop, block the highways, stop paying taxes, etc. I guarantee the entire situation would be fixed in under a week.

Of course, this requires critical mass. And everyone is so conditioned to get to work on time and not endanger their next paycheck, that it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Things will have to get worse before they get better.

I made pancakes once. I didn’t know the difference between baking powder and baking soda. It tasted like chewing aluminum foil or licking a 9v battery.

I’m generally not allowed in the kitchen.

There are no Republicans that still hate Russia.

Obligatory reminder that when Putin ordered his puppets home on Independence Day, they fucking boarded a plane and kissed the ring.

They know about it and protect their own. “What’s said in the family stays in the family.”

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if they held the NPP out as a carrot to get him through his term without starting WWIII. He wants the recognition and praise so bad it might just work.

Keka is great for macos

I give myself an allowance, just like when I was a kid. Whatever I spend it on is guilt free.

Unix and lawnmowers are nothing new or exotic either. I’m not stupid for not knowing how to repair a lawnmower, and I wouldn’t presume you’re stupid just because I can run circles around you at the command line.

I would, however, question your intelligence if you lack the ability to perceive the reasons behind different people knowing different things. It’s not that complicated.

It’s happened directly on Google before. Advertisers aren’t vetted except in specific industries. It could happen on any site, trusted or not.

I was even okay with images. It’s when the images started moving, making it difficult and distracting to read text that I realized if they are willing to sacrifice the core purpose of the page for ads, it’s only going to get worse.

Remember the target that would move back and forth really quickly to try to get you to click it?

I know surgeons who can’t start a zoom call. Being uneducated in a particular area is not stupidity. If you avoid dating someone over their lack of adtech knowledge, I would assume they are the one that dodged a bullet.

There’s always cafepress. But none of the money goes to the places you’re wanting.

Sustainable and survivable.

Half the technology only prevents death, but doesn’t necessarily give you quality of life, so they can keep it. It’s the pharmaceutical advancements that have had the biggest QoL impact on me, and thankfully generics have been reasonably affordable.

Add to that nine years of daily posts on r/PastorArrested.

Is it a level playing field? In China workers rights are pretty non-existent and there’s no OSHA equivalent, at least not to the degree we have in the US. Then add in government subsidies, lower worker pay, reduced R&D costs because they pilfered the engineering from a US company, and you end up with a very lopsided market.

To be clear, I am in no way defending the US auto industry. They have little customer loyalty for a reason – low quality, overpriced, subscription dependent vehicles with terrible warranties, expensive service requirements, and invasive telemetry. They need more competition to force them to make more consumer-friendly decisions, but China is hardly a fair competitor.

Ugh. I hate it when people downvote others for asking legitimate questions. I didn’t know it had a special meaning either, so thanks for taking one for the team. 🤷‍♂️

Ketamine too. You can get it in a clinical setting without a prescription. It has a half life of about twenty minutes so if it’s not your thing it’s over quickly. One session gets you two separate doses, so you trip for about an hour, and feel totally normal afterward. Great for depression too.
