Smelling bad probably had turned into a power move for him.

At least it’s not quite bafflingly incompetent as their movie division.

But Sony has always been weird.

My experience is cheap Siemens/Bosch is not great. Si ignore entry price models even if you don’t need the features.

I’m slowly replacing my breaking Siemens stuff with Miele and so far it seems to be worth the premium without having to research each model.

I just replaced a Dyson vacuum with a Miele bagless and boy, it’s so much more powerfu, and seems better designed and more robust.

Also fuck Dyson for lobbying for Brexit and then bailed to Singapore.

As in “ze motorboat hovercraft is full of iel”?

Affordable GPUs is a thing of the past I’m afraid. Bubble or not I’m afraid they will never come down.

Can’t sell something they can easily steal and get away with it.

LLM/AI: also GPUs.

ublock origin is so based, the dev doesn’t even accept donations. He wants people to donate to the chads maintaining the lists his add-on uses instead.

You make good points but some people are knew jerking on Firefox’s AI. One of them is client side translation which is really neat as I don’t need to send the content to some Google ad data vacuum.

Another AI model helps differently abled people to have websites described to them using, again, a local model.

There is also Libtefox which uses the same rendering engine without the other stuff if you don’t want it.

I consider it an important act to use non Chromium browsers as not to completely hand over the power of rendering web content to Google.

The link between conspiracies and ads is way stronger than that. The ad industry really went into high gear following WWII when the people working on pumping out propaganda to drive their own side of the war stepped up the game by applying psychology, new media, and a bigger budget.

Those people and techniques then moved to the commercial market when the war ended and applied their trade to peddle us the crap their customers wanted to sell. Make us feel bad if we don’t buy product X and go on an endless consumption treadmill to try to feel good and adequate about ourselves.

It is despicable and even worse with ads targeting children.

I’ll take slower over ad-bloated every day.

Ah yes, I’m certain Jesus would want his “followers” to hasten the end of the fucking world. Wait a minute, didn’t have supposedly let himself be crucified to save us? And Christians consider his sacrifice something of a big deal.

I did not expect people to interpret it into “because”. That’s even funnier than my joke.

And of course, the best way to prevent this doom is more religion. That always works out so well…

BC?

And many Cantons offer to subsidize part of the installation. With increasing energy prices I bet those ROI are going end up better than initially projected.

Exactly, and there again the quality beats the quantity.

Playing a niche old game with old buddies beats high digit player counts with randoms.

The French using a foreign language? Ha!

Joke aside no, and I’m a native French speaker living in a French speaking region.

But in French “W” is often abbreviated to “V”. Like BMW --> Beh Ehm Veh (often shortened even further to “Beh Ehm”).

So WWW would be “veh veh veh”.

In any case “World Wide Web” is quite the mouthful for the average French speaker.
