Someday, the US will be just a bubble where no other country gives their data to. We continue this decent into fascism to the point that nobody likes us.. or values us. Is this their idea of Utopia?

Are we winning yet?

Google shot it's shot with that alternative history artwork generation fiasco. Don't know why anyone would be too hot for them now. Dime a dozen at this point.

Use anything BUT Chrome or Edge.

Nothing spectacular about it. Except for the obvious degradation of our planet, there isnt anything special about it. Its just our home.

Once Iran ramps up, its going to be a free-for-all against all US data infrastructure. Iran has friends in low places so they don't have to do all of the dirty work themselves. This should be a wake-up call.

Would be really cool if that book made its way to Youtube. Immortalize it.

Religion = blind loyalty (to those in power of said religion)

It's one of the oldest tools we have to control society. And it gets abused. All. Of. The. Time.

He would cry and cry

Flock is a terrorist organization. So there. Now what.

Exactly. Use cases differ. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/mysql/difference-between-mysql...

How refreshing.

To get folks riled up. Does it bolster her claims? No. But it does work on smooth brains.

Lock em up, sell thier property. Rinse and repeat.

Just drop those 14 overboard and let them swim back to Russia.

Block updates, remove bloat via PS scripts. Done.

Lets be real. As someone pointed out, browsers are black boxes, regardless of who made/forked a browser family. Unless you make it yourself, we will forever be a dog chasing its tail. I would love to believe in the best of whichever I choose. And use it according to my comfort level.

Just can't leave well-alone, can they. Boil that frog, MS!

Because it wouldn't work. What is the point of having some flagship feature among the fanfare to just leave it off by default? They start the race by never having gotten off of the starting line. I agree the framing is messed up.

AI is great; it makes my job easier by removing repetitive processes, freeing me up to tackle other "stuff". I like that I can have it form up json/xml scaffolding, etc. All the insanely boring stuff that can often get corrupted by human error.

AI isn't the solution to move humanity forward in any meaningful way. It is just another aspect of our ability to offload labor. Which in and of itself is fine. Until of course it gets weaponized and is used to remove the human aspect from more and more everyday things we take for granted.

It is being used to accelerate the divisions among people. Further separating the human from humanness. I love 'AI' tools, they make my life easier, work-wise. But would I miss it if it wasn't there? No. I did just fine before and would do so after it's flame and innovation slowly peters out.

Yikes

Same, esp32. Not liking the path that Arduino is on currently.

Apps have their place. But collecting them like Pokémon isnt wise.

You ok?

Update your PC then shut them down. Many many ways to do this. Cant procreate if you rip its nuts off.

And..?

Apparently, I had the issue on my end. Not theirs.. MODS, please remove this post, please. I was the dumbass..

Went to order a pizza for lunch as I was hungry and lazy to make anything upstairs.. apparently Dominoes (and I assume others) are playing with user experience regarding the browser and plugins such as adblock (FF + uBlock lite & reg).

I couldnt order anything on that menu page as no images. Hmm, maybe their site is having issues. Tried Chrome, worked fine. So I went and turned my adblock off & on and rechecked. Yup. Thats the deal.

But wait, there is more. I installed ublock in Chrome and reran the web page. The page rendered fine.. Back to FF with ublock.. no images of the food.

Try for yourself. Try and order a pizza on Dominoes with FF and an ad blocker.

I understand the reasons but they don't sit right with me.

..and yes, hardly Hacker news but it annoyed me enough to throw caution to the wind.

Have you?

Dont use Excel? Unless you cant remove it or disable it assume this is the new normal. Act accordingly.
