I’m going to have to print out the Go version for all future “it’s idiomatic” and “but the community!” debates at work

The npm package has about 4000 weekly downloads. I don’t know what that means in terms of popularity.

He drove past the … victim advocacy center … and was captured on surveillance cameras throwing the can into the center’s parking lot. One of the center’s employees … saw Blakeslee throw the can from his car and recovered it in the parking lot… [and] called police to report the incident and the attorney was eventually charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and littering.

Absolutely. And they push bundles that don’t make financial sense but look attractive because we’re conditioned to think bundles are good. $30 to check a bag OR $72 to check a bag and board in Group 2 lol.

It shouldn’t be OK and Media Matters will surely file for a change of venue. They’re located in DC and Twitter in California. Heck, Twitters own TOS says that your use of the service is governed by California law, so any claim that they fraudulently used the service should be handled in California.

But activist judges are also known to deny motions for made up reasons, so Twitter starts in Texas in hopes an activist judge keeps the case there to “stick it to the liberals.”

Nope. It’s fully a marketing term and always has been. Worked at a firm that used a very, very basic bit of machine learning. But you better believe our marketing and investor pitch decks said “AI” a ton.

The Internet: “If you’re not paying, you’re the product, not the customer.” The Internet: “Ads suck! We’re going to block them.”

Content Providers: “OK, we’re going to charge to pay for our bills then.”

The Internet: “HOW DARE YOU?”

I think you forgot this: /s

Just pay for the service. Then you can run all the blockers you want.

I sold my account and blocked Reddit at the DNS level. I set up a bunch of feeds in Inoreader to stay on top of topics I care about like local news, gaming, tech, etc.

The only downside has been while playing BG3 and Googling things, Reddit results usually come up first and look the most spot on. Other links are either AI generated garbage or articles that are ten paragraphs when two sentences could have been done.

Wikipedia does funnel money into charity causes that aren’t related to their mission of bringing knowledge to the world. I personally have a hard time reconciling that with the constant begging for donations. I’d rather they set up an endowment or focus the money on items related to the mission.

That being said, paying people well to get bright people working on their mission is a no brainer.

If you think businesses have sunk this much money and effort into AI and didn’t do a cost-benefit analysis that stretched out decades, you are being naive or disingenuous.

Are you kidding? We literally just watched the same bubble and burst in companies that rushed to get their piece of the Metaverse and NFT cash grab. I worked at a SaaS company that decided to add AI features because it was in the news and Azure offered it as a service. There was zero financial analysis done, just like for every other feature they added

I’m sure Microsoft has a plan since they invested heavily. But even Google is playing catch-up like they did with GCP.

Doesn’t the fact that every Windows PC ships with Edge and yet Chrome has 70% market share on desktop make a case against the idea that “defaults are everything”?

I don’t know about evil, but my results have been filled with AI generated crap sites lately. I don’t know if others are doing any better filtering them out, but it is making me think to look elsewhere besides ddg

While that definition sounds ideal, I think most people with side hustles are still working for someone, just with flexible hours. DoorDash, Uber, transcription, etc.

Honestly, the thing keeping me from rolling it out to my family is that it isn’t easy to override when you do want to see a site. Folks understand turning off uBlock Origin (or clicking proceed). I’ve only used Pi-Hole and NextDNS, but they really need a browser extension that will provide a better error message and an option to allow with a DNS cache clear.

Have you tried other private DNS servers? Curious if your Internet provider is blocking specific servers or DNS over HTTPS.

it means you can’t block ads without violating the DMCA. Browsers can have adblocker extensions, apps cannot (unless you hack them.)

I imagine this is just going to lead to more people using DNS ad blockers. My phone literally can’t access your ad server, sorry.

Why are the three Chrome derivatives missing features Chrome has? Is it a porting issue or are they just that far behind on pulling in upstream changes?

As someone else mentioned, they had to rename due to legal concerns over trademarks. If people start abandoning Terraform for this alternative, Hashicorp will look for any reason to sue.
