Slight garbage man vibes, but in a good way.

There's the Eternaut, an Argentinian production that used AI for one effects shot. That's the only big one I've heard about, and I feel like there would have been some stirr if any larger production had used it.

Sorry to tell you, but you do appear to be rather obnoxious right now, though whether there is any intent behind it, I am unable to tell.

That's an ugly-ass mansion.

Why are you using a recording app with ads/tracking when there's free alternatives that don't do that?

Like, if you really wanna have transcripts, Google's recording app works even if you deny it network access. Found that out because I was too lazy to look for a proper FOSS solution.

Earlier this year, I got a game I liked on steam. Pretty much 3d Rimworld. After playing for 20 hours over a few weeks, I sporadically started getting errors about me having "no hardware activations" left for the game, and how I should wait 24 hours. I have never installed it on any other machine.

It is so very silly that a pirated copy would be the more seamless experience.

I don't think the average user thinks much about the platform they're on, and about who controls it. I think they go to wherever most of their family/friends are.

Also, those platforms are firmly in the mainstream, the alternatives aren't really - you'd have to actively go search for them. People just aren't likely to do that, I don't think.

People find way to slow orphan-crushing-machine slightly. Lawmakers debate adding additional orphan chute. More at seven.

Wow, they managed to make a law so fucked up that US judges and prosecutors cooperate to work around it.

Even the fucking RN knows this isn't a good look.

Look at the way Tesla collects and treats customer data, and the way Musk seems to unilaterally abuse his control over the companies he owns for personal reasons.

Now think about the capabilities of the Intel Management Engine that pretty much every Intel CPU requires.

Bad vibes, I say.

For those feeling out of the loop, see here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine

Tldr - it's a little always on processor, running a Minix OS, with direct access to all board devices including the Ethernet Controller.

AMD has something similar in form of their Platform Security Processor.

If I remember correctly, the reason for all this was that his other kids really aren't on board with daddy's political opinions, and would be able to overrule their brother. We'll see how it turns out.

Well, duh. But at least there's some main stream coverage of that angle.

Also, don't tell anyone you know that, or you're not gonna be on any jury.

I've gotten a free CD at a concert recently. I don't have anything to play it on.

I think that one was fake, posted by the OperaGX Account. Still funny, though.

On that note, I'd advise against using Opera browsers, the company that is behind them now is kinda shady.

On another note, I'd also advise against Edge, but less so. Microsoft is just normal megacorp-shady, not ran-a-loanshark-bussiness-in-africa-shady.
