Demolition Man becoming increasingly prescient.

“You know what the trouble is, Brucey? We used to make shit in this country, build shit. Now we just put our hand in the next guy’s pocket.”

That’s the future we all wanted. Going to work all day so robots could sit at home and play games.

I often have to kill it because it refuses to load things on new tabs.

I do use a VPN extension with it, so it could be that, but the result is the same.

You mean the slopomatic made up looking article that ran everywhere despite looking as genuine as a three pound note? The one with real “it’s true my uncle works for Bill Gates” energy? That article?

They’re doubling down. It’s a special CPU for more AI slop.

Does 10/10 mean it’s got RAM and drives accessible without needing to disassemble the whole fucking thing?

Nice to see both aren’t soldered onto the motherboard, but we’ve still gone backwards in the last 20 years.

They’re clearly going for the same thing on all devices at some point. There’s a lot of money to be made locking shit down and keeping your users hostage.

Sure, but I don’t really want to share a reality with people who do.

It’s making them not right.

Well there is a plan, it’s just “make them in countries where you can still have slaves”.

They do that anyway, but usually prices going down.

e.g. yellow stickers going on things that will expire soon.

You’ve not lived if you haven’t watched two pensioners fight to the death over a 20p pack of Greek yoghurt.

The UK was constantly bribing car makers to stay, and most of them still fucked off.

At this point I feel we’d just be immunising the rest of the universe from human stupidity.

“Scientist invents new, even smellier, dog poo.”

Two of the Supreme Court Justices he appointed? Believe it or not, lunatic left.

I think they’re bitmaps on Blu-rays as well. Just higher resolution.

Streaming tends to use text formats.

It’s a little fuzzy, but that’s OK on a lot of older movies (especially lower budget ones) because they were always a little fuzzy to start with.

You can have all the pixels you want, but you’re not going to get a lot of extra detail out of Critters or Masters of the Universe.

What mine shows me is mostly racism and xenophobia. I mean, they know I’m white. Figured they might as well just shoot their shot.

Meanwhile it’s utterly terrible at the one thing it’s supposed to do. I’m got a few old friends and family members on there. Not super close or anything, but the kind of people you’d be vaguely interested in seeing if they had cancer or had babies or anything. Didn’t show me those events at all.

Like, what is even the point of it other than a US far-right psy-op?

OK, and Discord, Facebook, etc? Or do they just lobby better?
