Hey, maybe Elon Musk should have focused on cutting waste in the HBO corporation.

Serious question: If I get hit by one of these death machines, who can I (or my next-of-kin) sue? Has that been established in court?

Do no evil.

Thanks! I’ll have to give that a try.

“Do you want to import your settings from your previous browser?”

“Do you want to make Chrome your default browser?”

“Are you sure?”

FUCK OFF, I’M ONLY USING THIS STUPID PROGRAM BECAUSE MY ASSHOLE UTILITY COMPANY’S WEBSITE DOESN’T WORK WITH FIREFOX

“Let’s see if doom-scrolling the imminent collapse of the world order as we know it manages to lull me into a peaceful slumber.”

Brilliant spin on the “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln…” riff.

Today: “…they will be deleted after Alexa processes your requests.”

Some point in the not-so-distant future: “We are reaching out to let you know that your voice recordings will no longer be deleted. As we continue to expand Alexa’s capabilities, we have decided to no longer support this feature.”

Wouldn’t it have been better for them to wait until cars were fully self-driving? I suspect they were just trend-chasing.

Thank you!

(Though, to be fair, I’m not sure how much they deserve to be thanked for undoing a change that should never have been made in the first place.)

It’s like every company that wasn’t complete shit just suddenly decided to…go to complete shit.

The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle was a cheap cash-in thrown together with various outtakes, oddities, and such…and yet it’s as punk as it gets. On a meta level, it brilliantly deconstructs the music industry, rock & roll itself, and a few other things as well.

It’s fun, too.

Honestly, no. I actually prefer a bit of background noise.

Wasn’t that part of the point?

Yeah, if I hadn’t been so committed to Rexit, I doubt I would have stuck around long enough to find a UX that I liked. Just to name one, it’d be nice if MLMYM were a default skin.

Not sure why anyone is surprised…they’re all bootlicking corporations that don’t want the mob boss to fuck with their mergers and/or investigate them for their various crimes.

I can’t wait for every vehicle to introduce this, thus leading to a perverse incentive whereby drivers go out of their way to avoid stopping as much as possible. How could it go wrong?

The most pissing thing is that the Microsoft “support” forum is always the top search result. Sometimes it occupies 5 or more of the top search results.

…but I haven’t had to deal with that since I switched to Linux last year, so…yay!

Yeah, every time I think about getting Doordash, they sucker me in with promises of $1 delivery fees, etc. Then I take the time to find out what I want, put it in my cart, get excited, and…then I see the final price.

That’s when I close out of my browser and go preheat my oven so that I can put in a frozen pizza.

Linux Mint isn’t perfect, but at least it’s not constantly trying to steal my shit or force something on me that I don’t want.
