So is it time to get rid of them then? Usually when I encounter one of those “click the motorcycles” I just go read something else.

Yeah this shit even happens in local elections. Our republican sheriff candidate was decided at a republican meeting rather than an voter primary, and to vote at the meeting you had to sign a pledge. It felt like the year 1905.

Nature doesn’t need money but men need money to compensate them for doing things.

I hope it does pay them. I always had the impression that lots of viewers watching ads gave them money.

That’s great, every soldier there isn’t killing Ukrainians.

So the 3 of the 4 people she invited died, the 4th needs a liver transplant. She fed her children something different and they’re fine. Her ex husband got very sick.

Hmm.

HMMMMMMMMMM

I get it though, everyone is annoying.

And a 55 inch touch screen. So stupid. Make simple efficient EVs and you’ll sell millions.

I took her for granted and probably got too comfortable in our domestic life. She had a new work friend who had nothing better to do than talk to her all day about how she would be a better partner than me.

It’s also an asset. Trade it for goods and services.

I think they taste different with corn syrup versus sugar, and in plastic bottles versus glass bottles.

It’s not a matter of if, but when it will break.

Should be able to click and block it in the Element Picker mode.

Gizmodo editor-in-chief sues Apple, alleging ‘Tetris’ movie on TV+ rips off his book - 9to5Mac (9to5mac.com)

As reported by Reuters, the lawsuit was filed by Dan Ackerman against Apple, screenwriter Noah Pink, Marv Studios, the Tetris Company, and others. The lawsuit alleges that “Tetris” is “substantially similar in almost all material respects” to his book published in 2016 entitled “The Tetris Effect.”...

It’s a shame, the site layout is a mess and it’s full of stories that fit better on AV Club or Kotaku. And so many stories about sales and things to buy, basically ads.

Yeah if he does something fine. If he says something, that’s worthless.

I subscribed for a year or so, other than the horrible client it was good. But there are just too many games to play and not enough time, a good problem to have but still. I also felt like I didn’t appreciate the games as much when I got them for “free.”

I started getting it for $1 per month by canceling and then resubscribing, now you can’t do that and I just don’t bother to subscribe at all.

Now with just 14 days for a $1 trial it’s an even worse deal. This is why I don’t think MS should be allowed to buy up all these game companies. Try contacting MS for support. If you can’t get through to someone in less than 10 minutes then they shouldn’t be buying any more companies. That should be the test for any company acquiring other companies. If they can’t serve the customers they have, how are more customers going to help?

$1 is better than $0, but can’t tell that to CEOS and stockholders.

It’s funny, my Steam games are like physical items out on my desk where I can see them every day, every time I turn on my computer. The free games I claim on Epic are like physical items in a drawer somewhere, that’s the Epic Games client. Not quite sure what I have in that drawer until I open it and search through it.

AI researchers claim 93% accuracy in detecting keystrokes over Zoom audio (arstechnica.com)

Laptops more susceptible to having keyboard recorded in quieter areas, like coffee shops, libraries, offices. Previous attempts at keylogging VoIP calls achieved 91.7 percent top-5 accuracy over Skype in 2017 and 74.3 percent accuracy in VoIP calls in 2018.

Are they somehow drugging their victims, or are they just very convincing against confused elderly?

What, black magic? Doubt.

I can see myself not being able to avoid the Google ecosystem but using Chrome solely to access Gmail/Drive/etc. In fact I could picture someone writing a Firefox extension to dock Chrome tabs into Firefox. That would be a laugh.

I 8 the trash can.

Grouches used to be able to afford a nice trash can to live in. Good platform to judge people from, be grouchy.

As soon as I saw commercials during the free trial I noped out.

Red door, I can’t say how much better I would do things if I did them again. But 10 mil can make things much better right now.

Yeah I tell Google Assistant “Wake me at 8:30AM” or “navigate to 123 Fake St” and it does a good job. I can also tell it “send email to myself” since I made an address book nickname in my own entry called “myself.” Otherwise it never worked.
