His political world must be shrinking if he’s taking Pauline Hanson’s words out of her mouth.

I live in my headphones. If anyone chatty is around I put headphones on as an indicator of concentration. (Not that it works)

I paid for Lynda.com, and it could have easily taken in more business if YouTube wasn’t working so hard for Google ads. There are a lot of paid (and free) services that suffer because of YouTubes ad-money business model.

Netflix could use the extra business. There are plenty of services failing to thrive while YouTube exists. Peertube would be wide open if YouTube went the way of most of Google’s stable of apps. PeerTube is wide open even if YouTube doesn’t go away anyway.

People genuinely hate ads. It’s a high degree of enshitification. YouTube could divide into paid content and free content in a simple Freemium model.

Or, add third tier with ads, which any user can opt out of in the same way contributers can. I’d be happy to click subscribe on an ad free experience with less content available to me.

Or, add an option for a couple of free tier items per month, week, or day. Like Medium’s business model.

It’s not hard to stop sucking!

Putting people on autopilot. The MS way!

He wanted that job!

Imagine life without concern and high expectations your dreams will be profitable. No wonder money makes money.

The more of us that take the hit the fewer people just going along.

I caught a trespasser the other day that said it wasn’t him. Totally believed him too /s

“random” videos

Having an electrical background I noticed a lot of logic disappearing into code and still wanted access to it. Also, virtualisation and emulation are a lot cheaper to run.

The guy that put me on to Linux moved to another city, and I cried this hard /jk

He’s a grifter. All he needs is a routine bet from a billion people and he potentially pays back on loans. He thought it might be possible with subscription, but he’s considering a way to emulate previous cryptocurrency manipulation now.

Relying on people’s apathy is a business model with eras of success. Most people have never changed a setting other than dark mode, and even then that’s probably your average superuser.

No idea, but the media doesn’t seem to get he’s just a predator seeking dominance over anything and everything possible.

Old people always ask: are your legs broken?

It’s takeaway. You go there, and you take it away. Want a butler, then pay the wages!

Why does he always carry around this “high profile man” thing? He’s nobody AFAIK. Last time it was something about “young gun tapped for greatness” or some nonsense. He’s at best an amateurish Daryl Summers hopeful.

Could dry eyes be more related to a pollen count severity? If so you might want an air filter, and some antihistamines.

They’re not trying to solve the problem they created. It’s a glorious political football that leaves people screaming for aid for decades.

No different from shooting someone just enough to make them scream and cry all night to demoralise their friends hiding nearby.

It’s a tactic, and the ALP uses it as day to day political fare.

And that’s why they don’t respect the Greens. The Greens plan to stupidly solve all these issues which will leave them with fewer entrapments. What’s politics without mass entrapment?!

I used to have a plugin that mapped how many companies were getting data from the website I was on. I’m not sure if it still exists.

One eye opener that’s easily accessible is going into their Facebook third party data agreements. If it’s not turned off they’ll probably be shocked about how permissive the data is. Just visiting a website can result in a Facebook agreement to share data with that company. It’s one of the reasons apps suddenly know random things you were just talking to somebody about. It gets keyed up instantly and they start that whole analysis of shadow profiles stuff industry experts talk about.

Doesn’t powershell do this? I’ve been learning powershell, and they keep making a tech agnostic claim along these lines, but I haven’t tested it on Linux yet.
