Okay. Define “intelligence”.

You don’t see how reading is better than watching a video?

I think I might like them better if they didn’t auto-play. I hate anything that auto-plays.

Oh no! It says there might be early spoilers! Yikes!

Nothing for me to do but go download the ROM and play it early, then. I have no choice.

So, the ROM leaking early has…what to do with emulators?

At this point, I think it’s gone from “ethically okay” to “mandatory”.

It’s like downloading Metallica’s newest album. Sure, I might never listen to it, but it’s the principle.

Hasn’t the Turing Test been irrelevant for a while now? Even before the new AI boom?

Artificial intelligence is a moving target. Every time a goal gets reached, they just move the goalposts, because “well, obviously this isn’t real intelligence”.

I could see Georgia banning masks, but not because of racism.

Hey, instead of picking on that little kid, why don’t you go harass that huge bodybuilder guy with all the knives attached to his belt?

Feel free to downvote and ignore them. Presumably, the people who posted them thought that they were worthy, and I doubt their minds were changed by your non-argument here.

Nintendo’s argument is that their games are art, and being unable to control how they’re presented degrades the art. My eyes rolled across the room the first time I heard that.

The mass of people don’t use any ad-blocking at all.

Brave also has its own blockers built in. All of which, I’m told by this article, are still not as good as uBO.

Whatever. Just use Firefox for your daily driver and only use Chromium when absolutely necessary.

Or don’t. It will become obvious which browser has the better blocker.

Or just do what I do. Use Firefox and only keep Chromium around for those few sites that work better in Chromium.

Nooooo, but MV3 is all about security!

This is how I know this is bullshit. I was reading the article and thinking "So, let me get this straight. The ads aren’t the security risk. It’s the ad blockers!"

Sure. Pull the other one.

You’re correct, but your argument is bad. I also paid $0 for Linux.

You used to. Not anymore. Musk made it so that if you try to view somebody’s profile, and you aren’t logged in, you don’t see anything except for a big box asking you to log in.

Also, it’s not so much about stalking per se, but being able to reshare posts (and thus bully) their targets. The way X is right now, they’d have to have a direct link to the post in question and then screenshot it.

People only remember the good stuff. They don’t usually think about all the software that sucked.

Don’t do illegal drugs, kids! You could get in trouble, because they’re illegal.

A couple of good examples are lifehacker.com and lifehack.org. Both sites used to have excellent content. The sites are still up and running, but the first one has turned into a collection of listicles and the second is an ad for an “AI-powered life coach”. All of that old content is gone and is only accessible through the Internet Archive.

In fact, many domains never shut down, they just change owners or change direction.
