Ah shit.

Yeah, these orgs fund both sides so they have a say no matter what side is in power.

The surprise.

Yeah, fuck no, not calling things what they are called is a very long standing way of obfuscating the severity of a wrong.

I think the more commonly used vocabulary refers to these woman as "sex slaves".

I think it triggered my memory of Jake's cellmate in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Who is a cannibal and very blasée about it.

Why does that sound so familiar to me?

Was that or something very similar said in a TV show at some point?

AI still as splendid as ever butchering hands.

Oh no, but they sure as hell went balls to the walls Austin Powers tier cartoonishly evil since then.

Putin is trying to tick every single box on every single form of genocide isn't he.

And not even only of Ukrainian people.

The meat he sends into the grinder are generally "undesirables" from ethnic regions of Russia Moscow only uses for hard labor and as meat for the grinder.

The thing with Google isn't that they removed the "don't be evil" mantra they held for 2 decades.

It's that in the 5 years since officially removing that mantra, they've done their best to be the most cartoonishly evil they can be.

Because the delay is part of adblocker detection on non Chrome based browsers.

Then the drive should be to fix that problem rather than the symptom.

What a messed up title.

The one and only reason they are doing this is to boost ad revenue.

All I have left to say about Google and Youtube in particular is that Youtubes ads have become so problematic, both in amount and quality (like seriously, people get banned for using innocuous words in videos targeted at adult audiences, yet completely fucked up ads are squarely targeted at children) and at this point, it's time for YouTube to die.

A new platform needs to come along.

Which will be hard since Google has such a stranglehold on the datacenter and backbone level that they have an absolute advantage when it comes to bandwidth and storage costs. Which is the main cost for video platforms like YouTube.

I suspect this is less of a slowdown and more of a "we're trying to detect adblockers and in Chrome we can do most of this check on the application level which is fast, while on Firefox we have to do it the extra slow way and we CBA to optimize any of it because the delay is to our advantage."

Lol, that's similar as to how I suggested Microsoft Code to someone I worked with for their personal laptop since they mainly used MSVS at work.

Were bitching they didn't like Code because it "didn't work half the time".

Turns out they were doing the same thing, opening files, sometimes editing them and then just closing the application.

Had a whole smorgasbord of open files and most of them were in an edited but unsaved state.

This concept of explicit saves rather than closing an app and having it force save was horrible to them.

I was at my parents this week and my dad said his tablet got slow.

I checked the running apps and open tabs and the phone couldn't even express it in a number (normally it does up to 999).

Then I hit the clear background apps button and the thing just straight up spazed straight to a full cold boot.

An hour later, dad said it was much much faster now, but that I "removed his apps". (I didn't and they were still there, just not running all the time!)

Yeah, but it's also a sad fact that many of the extremely anti gay activist types are in fact repressed gays. People who, under the terror of fucked up religious ideology rather decline others their freedom and actual life rather than admit their own sexuality.

Freudian slip.

Meanwhile here, come tax time I get a letter and only people that have special things going on like stuff they would get subsidies for (like installing solar panels or insulating), will have to alter what the letter says. Most everyone else can ignore the letter as all their taxes have been paid in full or they get something back.
