Iirc, traffic lights are called robots in some African English dialects. Although it’s more like one of those regional peculiarities.

To me it looks more like they’re saying they’ll monetize their work no matter what, tho. One way is through direct payments by those who consider their articles worth paying for, then they don’t need to sell userdata or show ads; the other way is selling userdata. Well, there’s also non-targeted advertising, but mb it doesn’t worth as much or something (and targeted ads already pay close to nothing from a single viewer, afaik).

Where I personally draw the line is when such subscriptions still include ads (looking at you, “ad-free” disney+) or have unnecessarily large costs and so on. I mean, if they charge close to what they’re making with ads and selling data, we could get most websites ~tracker-free for probably a couple of bucks a month each. This, in turn, lessens the power of ad network owners, which again makes the web better. Although, mb I’m idealizing too much, idk.

Idk what’s the big deal, honestly. Remember the memes about yt premium, “I either give you my money, or my data, but not both”? Well, it’s kinda like that. The caveat is, their payment provider likely still collects data, and some info is saved on the backend anyways, but that’s another can of worms.

Idk, repairing is often fun and may be faster actually. As in you don’t need to spend time searching for a suitable product and waiting for it to be delivered. Also, most breaks are more or less trivial to fix, so it’s at least worth a try, imo.

Fediverse used to sound kinda lame to me, but that’s probably because I’ve encountered “metaverse” first.

Considering elon is also a joke, the history repeats itself

I’m so fucking getting this tattoo if I ever loose a leg

What did you expect from a department named after a memecoin anyways

I don’t dislike most of them per se, I just don’t understand most of them. I mean, it’s quite impressive what those people can achieve, but I’d rather watch some dude free-climbing in the grand canion or something of that nature ('cause for me even climbing a 20m pipe was scary asf).

Now that i think of it, football is probably singled out in my mind due to its fans doing some batshit crazy stuff oftentimes. Like dude, chill out, it’s just a bunch of people kicking a ball. Save your molotov for your friendly local politicians.

I’m wondering if the fingers move independently or also mirror each other’s movement. Because if they do, those people are one custom keyboard away from pretty comfortable PC usage.

What’s fun about football, tho? I mean, it’s basically a bunch of dudes hitting a sphere for some weird reason or fighting for the pleasure of carrying an egg (and making more money than the most of us while at it)

In my case it’s

And yes, I know that obscure board I’m intending to bor(e)row an ic from is in the far left corner under my bed. If you relocate it, I won’t find it when I need it.

Rah-rah rah-uh-ooh…

Welp, trump supporters are certainly an interesting bunch, yet even they don’t deserve to be emotionally scared like that.

Yeah, I’ve stumbled upon that one a while back too, probably. Was it also the one where the initial designs would refuse to work outside the room temperature 'til the ai was asked to take temps into account?

Yap, the more absurd – the better.

So, ppl can be made black and queer, but ais can’t? What a blatant discrimination based on the form of existence.
