Too bad, I use Steam and it works wonderfully on Linux, but i don’t want it to be the only option.

Listening to the Hogfather while doing chores rn 😀

I guess so, but engagement does not equal revenue, and the models are black boxes that are already falling apart. I have no idea where exponential improvement should come from - throwing more and more computational power into the maw can only get you so far.

I’m all for corporations souring their dopamine pipes. Perhaps it may encourage the users to do something useful with their free time, maybe even pick up a book or two (said he, while scrolling Lemmy in bed).

Getting r/amightyharvest vibes.

Print it out and put it in your wallet to ward against high insurance rates.

It’s that smug “Skool of life” twat isn’t it? My recommends on youtube are infested with his twee psudo intelectual garbage.

Wizard of legend is a free game…

Jesus fandom, Catholic branch. In my defense they enrolled me before I was old enough to say no.

I am older than you, but not by much. I too remember channel surfing, which I guess was the equivalent of scrolling through your phone. Frequent ad breaks were not really a thing in my country until early 2000s, when private TV stations began to take hold, and by then I had already switched to PC gaming as a primary source of entertainment. I’ve done everything I can to banish unwanted advertising from my life, the only one I cand stand is Steam sales, but only because I can get hours of etertainment for a symbolic price.

No, the fan will blow the packets all over the place, which is fine for UDP, but any TCP/IP connection will suffer. Place the fan in front of the router so that the blades will catch any dropped packets and throw them back into the datastream.

Whenever I visit my parents the TV is on. They only have broadcast television, and ad breaks come on every 15 minutes and last 10 minutes. How can anyone watch a series episode or even worse, a movie like that is beyond me.

As a rule I don’t buy specialized kitchen gadgets that are only good at making one type of food. It has saved me both money and cupboard space.

Turns job interview into lecture about 40k.

Not a good long term strategy, trust me on that one.

Yes, kids tend to learn better when they’re not chained to their desks in a Taylorist torture chamber. Thanks for being a great teacher.
