The exact premise of the jenkinsverse.

The intro story is excellent, as are a lot of the fanfic.

They are the exact people driving 90s mustangs around:

A true classic. My only regret is that I cant link it in the original shockwave.

Then they told cbs news they removed it to protect the victims. The interviewer than asked the very logical question “was the girl in the picture with trump a victim?” Then suddenly the picture was back.

Its very clear Trump will be redacted in every possible way. It just makes them all incredibly suspect and literally no one is buying it.

Thats not ambuguity. AI will be opt out in firefox, which is them abandoning core principles like user choice and privacy.

They can do that, but playing like they aren’t by redefining well established terms in UI/UX is disengenious, and cuts right through the “we will earn your trust back” messaging made by the same dev.

No, go deeper into that mastodon thread.

The dev has a really hinky defention of “opt-in” thats basically “yes we push all this on by default and realize it will be the norm for most of our users because of that, but you technically dont have to interact with it so thats opt-in.”

Somehow, eventually having a buried menu option that “opts out” of AI is also part of how it will be opt-in as well? Its a self serving mess of rationaliztions and doublethink, no matter the claim on the tin.

“On by default unless you run down a setting buried in a menu” is the thinnest type of optional in computing.

Welp, dont know what I expected when I looked that one up:

The haunted world of el superbeasto

The piece is just rife with the Nazi shit the whole org was up to, but its explictly clear that editor is hip deep in it.

Very good piece from the student journalists.

Where are you getting $430? Im seeing $306, which puts the per TB at $15.34.

A lot closer to the $10 the poster above was talking about than the $30-35 the person mocking him was saying drives cost.

Its also a refurbed drive from a well trusted, quality vendor that does testing on each drive and offers a 3 year warrenty.

They have had a dozen or more lawsuits/police actions against them. They are already enemy #1 in piracy terms, so I expect they are okay leaning into it and doing more good for the world.

Here you go mate. They dont have 10TB in stock, but the do have 20TB refurbs at around $15/TB.

$10/TB is a bit low, but not far off. Serverpartdeals has refurbed enterprise/NAS drives at about $15/TB right now, and thats with the AI pressure driving up prices. I recall seeing 18TB drives around $12/TB a few months back.

The above is well loved vendor in the IT space. Much better place to buy from than Amazon, as they actually guarantee their inventory is legitimate.

Losing some market share to other vendors that allow it, which threathens their monopoly control.

Its entirely an attempt to recapture the big name authors like Brian Sanderson peeling off with kickstarter/etc and also advertising vendors like kobo that will publish drm free books.

Unironically yes. It means corruption will climb even higher in Russia, leading to more grift and rotting or subpar armaments/supplies/logistics.

I would also highly recommend folding ideas "in search of a flat earth."

It covers the actual flat earth claims in depth, but is very much about the culture, and why that culture exists.

Monopolized a market by offer good services to both end users and buisness clients.

Lets not forget the evil though : helped set the 30% cut for apps/games that became the standard across all digital spaces, arguably started online gambling and microtranactions in gaming.
