Very romantic. Down for it. Gunning for it.

“The only way to protect yourself from a giant truck is to have your own giant truck”

Now where have I heard of this logic before? 🤔

Copilot: “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”

These people have been stealing our pixels for so long. Have you seen how much China has been stealing? There memes are twice as large as ours. But everyone has been crying to me “Sir, but pixies aren’t real.” THEY ARE REAL!. My uncle has seen pixies. He was very smart, the smartest person I know perhaps. So from tomorrow, the pixel tariffs are being launched. Or pixies. I don’t know, doesn’t matter.

In capitalism, you get a bad crop

As per the article

on my own network a whopping 66.6% of all traffic is blocked

I stated it’s actually 66.6% DNS requests being blocked, not the raw bandwidth utilization. Raw bandwidth savings (by not downloading the non-zero ads) would be much lesser.

Can’t we be nicer on the internet?

Correct. The payload of DNS requests is tiny compared to, say requesting a webpage. So there might not be a huge decrease of bandwidth usage reduction. However, having 66.6% less DNS requests is still a win. The router/gateway doesn’t have to work that hard because of the dropped requests.

Now you know why your mom spent so much time with the Amiga

“Sorry, we can’t adjust the thermostat until we have audio evidence of whether the family is going through a divorce”

We will have to accept AIs are here to stay. Since putting wheels on grandama is the only way we can get a bike.

OP doesn’t need to hear this. OP’s a highly trained professional.

“Hey, I’ve seen this one before. It’s a classic.”

What, you didn’t know you had to crank the power to high before microwaving your phone? Rookie mistake

But I cannot help but wonder if a line of simple, less advanced ICE cars promoted on their ease of maintenance wouldn’t get popular with, for example, rural folks. After all, being able to fix the beast yourself would lover your costs a lot

No car company will make a car which is maintainable by a common man because it affects their bottom line. We can dream of alternate concepts (open-source car design/metal 3D printing) but government regulations and lobbying will kill such concepts. We have to focus on the current scenario.

But if I wanted to hit the relatively nearby lake or beach, getting there by foot is another story

The majority of the anti-car people are not saying “destroy all cars. Nobody should have cars”. We are just saying “please don’t make our entire lives car-dependent. Please design cities/governments/social life in such a way so that it’s accessible to non-car folks.”

I also have a car, but I only use it for going to places which are not reachable by public transport. For traveling to work, I use public transport 5 days a week. Cars should be (IMO) a recreational mode of transport.

Author also forgot that these companies won’t fail, because these are not “one and only” of each in the world

I agree with you; they won’t fail. However, they surely can make our lives hell if they want to. This is a power that I don’t want them to have over me.

Damn…I’ve been discovered

I’m afraid a federated micro-blogging website using ActivityPub doesn’t/can’t exist ;_;

Doesn’t matter at this point. He’ll pay Trump another 1 million dollars and this news will simply vanish.
