Social media and news is overwhelmingly controlled or otherwise influenced/flooded by the right or those acting on their behalf.

Ehhhh I see people with Nitro-included cosmetics but not a lot that have the individually-purchased cosmetics. They exist, sure, but not even close to as many.

I mod a server with 40,000 users and I’m scrolling through the member list as I type this. Majority are either unsubbed accounts or they have the cheap basic Nitro. A lot of the cosmetics I am seeing are the free ones they’ve given away in recent events. Not many users have full Nitro and have their profiles all decked out with additional cosmetics.

They truly have zero clue how users actually use their software. Not a single person is going to use this just like every other stupid gimmick feature they’ve added in the past and then promptly removed.

You’re not wrong, but that is not the point I was making.

Adblocking YouTube is 100% the best option. I agree there. But if someone does want to pay for membership then YouTube is, by far, the best deal. Their competitors are absolutely horrendous.

And if you pay for Premium you get all features and zero ads. Many of the competitors have paid options that still include ads.

Whether or not Premium is worth it is another debate entirely, but the fact of the matter is that it is simply a better deal compared to other streaming services.

I see so many other cyclists riding with their seat much too low, with their knees practically banging into the handlebars. By far the most common error I see.

2nd would be people in the wrong gear. Going by at a snails pace with their legs all a blur.

This. Every time I see a complaint about how reddish/orange the Remaster looks - the screenshot was taken at extreme sunset or sunrise. Literally some of the most reddish times of the day even in real life.

the brakes and chassis can cope with speeds of up to 50 km/h.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, do not do this on public hiking trails. That is just asking to send someone to the hospital with serious injuries.

Don’t forget the cost and time investment in getting your pilots licence.

Also there is no way this is going to be legal to drive on public roads in most countries - just look at the massive tail boom that sticks out. This is just a fancy aircraft for people that want an overcomplicated Cessna.

I’m sure they will. It’s Microsoft, so I’d expect nothing less than that.

Don’t get me wrong - this is awful and is just another misstep in a long line of missteps by Microsoft.

But I also can’t help but chuckle at this. It is so clear that “AI” as it has been developed today is hitting a peak of what it can do. These corporations are desperate to shove it in every product they possibly can to drive sales and valuations to make shareholders wet and yet the only things they ever advertise AI being capable of are crap like summaries, background removal, background insertion, grammar/typo checking, list making, web searching, etc. Most of it being crap that I have never once heard of a person being even remotely interested in… and why would they be? Why would someone want to edit their photos to add a different sky, new people, etc to create memories that never happened?

You basically need 2 bikes if you’re a cyclist:

A clean and modern bike you ride for pleasure or between secure locations.

And a beat up clunker that is disposable and/or looks unappetising to thieves that you can leave in public spaces.

Sorry, but I have to say it. What the heck does this have to do with technology? This is just US politics again.

And then sending those “perfect” children off to die in their many wars.

It isn’t. Not yet, at least.

Most Americans still have jobs, can afford food, can find food, and have their cars and homes. Some have lost some of the former, it’s true, but not enough to ignite any real change.

Imagine a scenario of Trump enacting martial law and beginning to mass arrest and imprison US citizens in detention camps. Not immigrants, refugees, or tourists - actual US citizens taken from their homes. Imagine the US government gathering troops on the Canadian border. Imagine the government disappearing members of the Democrat party. Imagine the government enacting a China-styled internet blockade.

Those are the things that will likely spark some kind of call for change.

The guaranteed abuse of this technology far FAR outweighs the benefits, imo.

A better solution to combat those disorders would be to prevent their formation in the first place with early detection and improved medical sciences and procedures.

The human brain is one of the last places we have left that isn’t entirely owned and controlled by some corporation or state agency. I do not trust any government to regulate it properly and I do not trust a single corporation to develop it with good intentions. It would be abused instantly as shareholders pitch tents in their pants over selling it to law enforcement and advertisers.

Totally unsurprising. Calgary is a car-centric urban sprawl of the worst sort. Entire urban districts are completely cut off and surrounded by either large stroads or actual highways. There are some houses near my grandparents place that literally live on a highway exit ramp. My sister came with us once while we were visiting and I took her for a drive around the city - she was in awe at how poorly planned the city is, and we are both from Vancouver which is a circus even on the best days.

$1mil isn’t even going to make a dent in this. Not even make a scratch. It won’t even pay for 1/8th of the initial investigation to determine where to best place the scratch. Calgary has sunk billions into horrible urban planning decisions and they continue to do so every day. That entire city is one giant web of stroads.

The general populace isn’t going to switch to Linux. They’re just not.

The path of least resistance is to continue using Win10

I hate cars as much as the next person here, but we know next to nothing about this person other than a single sentence statement from the police. And also charges haven’t been laid yet because the investigation is still ongoing and likely hasn’t been sent to the crown counsel yet.
