There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it.

Too many smug people think, “advertising doesnt work on me! Hah! Only weak minded normies fall for it…”

Wrong… Advertising works. And that’s the reason a shit ton of money that goes into it.

You want to know the reason why i run adblockers in my browser AND DNS levels? Because i KNOW advertising works on me… i KNOW i’m not smart enough to outsmart the army of engineers, and copywriters generating this stuff.

Having children, at this juncture, with what we know, is profoundly selfish

Not just having children, but raising them to continue the same “driving huge SUV everywhere” costco lifestyle that got us into this mess

It is fair… Companies paid $X lobbying our gov’t and in return they get to do shit and profit

Fair!

I would vote for him as prime minister… The federal NDPs need a change

I hope you’re upgrading from debian buster to bullseye!

I mean, compared to the sterotypical salaryman hours, it is short

Shit must be really bad in japan if this dude is doing OK making just over minimum wage, in the highest (or second highest) cost of living cities in canada…

How many iphones is 1 electric car battery?

If buying isnt owning then piracy isnt stealing

If a product is really good experience for you (ie. Not crammed with ads) AND you dont pay anything for it, then it’s not profitable.

Google didnt become one of the biggest companies in the world by doing volunteer work for your benefit

They only exist to show ads and/or harvest your data. Once those goals are met, then the user doesnt matter. They NEVER mattered

Had no idea about the user base numbers. I withdraw my objections lol

To be fair, i paid like $3, 10 years ago… So, not a great revenue stream for the developer

Obviously selling to an ad company is not good, but i’m not sure what the alternative is in a world where everyone expects everything for free

So… Men act like dicks when there is a woman around or when they are back in “the rest of the world”? At which point their sense of brotherly love and cameraderie disappear? How is that a woman’s fault?

How is that the fault of, “fucking propaganda painting men as inherently predators”?

Sounds like a problem with that group of men…

I have tons of male friends who dont “flex” or act like dicks when they are outside of an all-male setting

I’m not against men’s clubs, btw… But the idea that men cant be toxic outside of a men’s club is a terrible premise for a men’s club

I had the same problem before… computer ran for 5 years with just the weight of the heatsink holding it down. Just keep the motherboard horizontal

Weather underground is owned by IBM now

Anyone know of a community driven, non-profit weathet platform we can share weather station data with?

Wow, did not know this…

I think i will accelerate my plans for a new NAS lol

QNAP is taiwanese and still providing software patches for my 8 year old NAS. I think they are reasonably trustworthy

But i agree with you, i’m going to build my own NAS from scratch this year…
