All the energy of the lab with all the problems of a poodle

Eh you can pay for YouTube or Netflix. They'll still try to serve you shit quality and ads If they can get away it. It might be 4k but it's probably at the lowest bit rate they can get away with while your device which is " powered by AI" makes up some shit to fill in the blanks.

Everyone wins!

They don't care about performance, they care about cost.

There are two different customers here. The site wants to serve the absolute minimum required resolution they can get away with before the user goes somewhere else. This saves money on bandwidth and storage. The ad networks customers are the advertisers and they want their ad to be high quality and presented quickly so it's harder for the network to trim the fat.

Right but shifting purchases one day forward or backward isn't going to affect anything when business operates on the financial quarter.

It does send a message but it won't hit then economically.

Learning to COBOL is not itself that hard.

Understanding decades of "business" logic is.

It isn't WHAT it is doing, it's WHY it is doing it that makes these systems labyrinthian.

Also afaik they don't get paid that well which is part of the problem.

It's a reference to a specific Internet connected adult toy called a lush3. Cam Girls and only fans people connect them to their chats so the fans can control how much it vibrates. Since it's Wi-Fi connected it has a tail that sticks out to improve the connection.

Exactly, this is just fishing for a bribe, just like the tariffs. Bribe Trump enough and your program or industry will get a loop hole or passed over for 6 months or whatever.

Aha Airforce one likely uses SQL

Not every person in the United States was born in the United States and even temporary workers can get a SSN

Only if Reddit takes a smaller cut. If it's the same or more Reddit will be incentivized to curtail them trying to shunt users off site. I suppose it depends on what only fans biggest referrer is.

I mean yeah, and that's the piece of the pie they want. It will start with letting content creators charge and probably end by some ban or disincentive on direct only fans links.

I'm gonna be honest, Joe Rogan's sexuality never crossed my mind until this moment so I googled it. Turns out he has been married a while.

He is still a huge right courting polemical douche regardless of which sex he is attracted to.

These threads are always hilarious. People are not switching to any kind of desktop. They are moving away from PCs entirely. There is an entire population who only use a phone as their computer.

I know this might hurt to read but the average reddit user probably is someone who doesn't know how email works.

I don't know. I'm not sure I've seen or encountered strong pro cyber truck sentiment. Maybe a bit of online excitement for like a day when they were first rolling out but now it's been a laughing stock.

This is an opinion piece.

I think the term anticipatory obedience is a good one and I liked this article.

There are some luxury trains that go through the mountains, I've thought about it but they are pretty pricey considering I'm on the other side of the country.

I mean of course they did. A public company can not be trusted to leave money on the table. The only thing that might slow them down is the bad press that might erode good will. In this climate though they were always going to strap Gemini to a machine gun.

As someone relatively ignorant of firearms I couldn't name a smaller caliber. Isn't 22 a very lightweight round?

If he and Trump have one thing in common it's thin skin and being terminally online
