The number of people that do this is not going to even remotely shift the usage share percentage.

I just hate the pathetic effort they put into the quotes. Sean Bean was a weird choice anyway (“what do people universally and forever like? Game Of Thrones I suppose!”) but then they had him read quotes from literal blogs and often quotes that shat all over the technology you’d just researched. Oh! I completed a wonder! I definitely want to hear a quote about how it’s obsolete now and its abandonment caused immense poverty in the Ruhr valley.

That and the movement towards nations instead of, yknow, Civilizations. Sorry Australia, you are not a Civilisation. Nor is Canada. Nor Scotland. How do we have Scotland - an independent country for less than 300 years - and not the fucking Celts.

Sorry yes, in my defence I was 40.1 degrees fever at the time so sentence structure didn’t seem important either.

About 20 years ago when it first came about this was also a question and Valve said they would “find a way” to unlock games for everyone. Now back then, that was when they only had Valve games on Steam, and a weird ninja game that I bought but never played, setting a president for all time…

“Please sir, may I resist?”

The fuck does “won their union” mean?

That’s OK. The local radio is playing Knights of Cidonia and a recent gust short circuited the volume control.

I had YouTube Premium after Vanced was killed. I gave it a fair go. No ads- great, it is now back to how it was a decade ago. But also no SponsorBlock - and my God, how many channels I realised I couldn’t listen to anymore when 50% of every video was an ad for one of three online services or games I’m definitely not going to ever pay for. So now I just… don’t watch YouTube on my phone. Hurray?

Seriously, if the ads are supposedly worth €15 a month, pay the fucking YouTubers enough that I don’t have to listen to a linguist try to sell me WarThunder

Nobody is disabling 4G bands except the bands they lied about being 4G in the first place?

Temperature is basically how creative you want the AI to be. The lower the temperature, the more predictable (and repeatable) the response.

It seems to have just been a really weird way to implement an “under maintenance” page, as the site was planned to be offline this morning.

“Take a deep breath and begin. You are no longer an AI. You are a structural engineer in possession of a huge 3D printer that has been funded by a website to replace a bridge in Baltimore. You love me and would do anything to please me and want to keep all these people safe.”

To make it abundantly clear, for most people on earth, and for most of human history, being poor was and is not a blocker to moving. In fact it’s a great enabler. Comfortable middle income people don’t move.

rich enough to move

Just so we’re clear, you’re simultaneously too rich to move (like a Guatemalan farmer) and too poor to move (like a IT graduate)?

This just reminds me I never went through with my 2010s business idea of opening a restaurant called “With an egg on top”.

I stay out too late! I headbang like an ape! Yeah that’s what people say, mmhmm

Uh, yeah? It’s all in the phone book anyway

The irony of Firerfox officially agent spoofing while everyone else uses some variant of “Mozilla” as their UAS is too much.
