After they announced that they would snoop on the HDMI port and then push targetted ads during paused media, I decided I will never own a Roku device again. Before they had TVs I’d recommend to anyone to get their smart boxes. Then Roku, like everyone else, enshitified.
All it does is puts a second person on that side of the trolly tracks.
POS Nazi
Redundant statement is redundant.
Who cares if they’re perceived as the victim? People will forget about Twitter within 6 months if it’s blocked, and during that time, the propaganda machine takes a hit.
I learned on automatic but got a manual about 5 years ago. This past November I went on a trip with friends and we were able to rent a manual car for cheaper because I could drive one and it was the norm in the country we were in. Nice skill to have, but not required. I’d learn manual if you have the option.
As long as they keep letting me back in, I’ll keep vacationing in Canada in solidarity.
If they’d have not flip flopped, they wouldn’t have alienated both demographics. They make so much fucking money that they could have taken measures to protect employees from psychos that attacked them. Instead they were cowards and gave in. Now they are using the current political climate as an excuse to further enshitify the company.
I’m fortunate enough that I have options around me. I’m not saying I will do no shopping there, but I will try almost anywhere else but Amazon and Walmart before I bite the bullet.
I recently went through the WAIS IV test through a professional facility. The test was pattern recognition and recollection, mid level mental math problems, memory recall, and a handful of other thought provoking questions. There was nothing in the exam that actually tested any knowledge in specific areas, because IQ isn’t a measurement of a person’s intelligence.
My wife and I are very likely on opposite ends of the IQ spectrum, and that is not a problem. I think the difference in the way we think gives us more well rounded life experiences. My wife is well studied, well organized, and intelligent, but she’s not strong in escape rooms, brain teasers, and trivia. I am far more analytical in how I go about things. I’ve got pretty decent recall and I am pretty good at breaking down problems to the core and breaking out solutions. We just live different personal lives with some things. I play music she walks the the dog. We have plenty of overlap in interests and hobbies that have nothing to do with IQ.
Also, as other have mentioned, if you haven’t paid a professional to administer this test, then ignore anything or anyone telling what your IQ is. Depending on which professional test you take, the scale is different. With WAIS IV, it’s 40-160, but it’s measured against the population. Idk how other do it, but it’s different.
Basically, IQ doesn’t matter. Just live your life.
Nope. Already switched to librewolf. They’ve eroded trust and are still selling data, but they just don’t call it that. There was likely a group of people that reviewed and signed off on the initial release. They would have to be insanely dumb to not realize they’re would be significant backlash, yet still pushed it through. I think it’s because they were hoping it wouldn’t be as bad as it was and they’d get away with it.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I said it before. Stop sending aluminum and steel and aerospace and military manufacturing would suffer immensely. That is 90%+ of all good made, metals have strict import requirements and certifications, and we couldn’t just make our own on a whim.
It was obviously performative when Trump said, “you don’t get to tell us what we’re going to feel” when Zelensky said that the US will feel the effect of the war.
It’s was after JD already escalated and Trump had to grab something to be a critical about, and that was the arbitrary point he decided to cling onto. He had to because JD upped the ante and Trump HAD to do something to keep up
America hasn’t been the shining example in democracy for a long time and that’s a well known fact. I’d say that means the argument hasn’t lost any steam. It never can be a good democracy with a FPtP system. Guess who can change that. The government.
Most of us can’t just up an murder the POTUS, and where has Luigi’s courage landed him? I love everything that he’s accused of, but taking down an unguarded, unsuspecting CEO is not overthrowing the US government.
The state fair is probably the main thing. It may possibly turn off college prospects for ISU and UI too. Once upon a time, the lakes were good fun but now they’re all cancer and ecoli baths.
I filled out the form to let my opinion be heard and let her know how I feel about her tenure with Iowa. I’ve gotta jump on this brain drain train and GTFO. I’ve never been more disgusted to live in this state.
The Tate’s were probably Trump’s children dealers. When I might hit up my plug and ask for a half, I expect a half oz of the devil’s lettuce, when Trump asks for a half from his guys, it’s relative to the age of consent.
Blaming the Democrats because Republicans are doing facist things… Bold take. Why not blame the people committing the atrocities?
All of what you said could be true, but every worst case scenario also now has a clear runway.
They will start pushing ads and say it’s helping us by steering us to our interests. Nothing with be opt in, because it never is, and any amount of AI is too much. I also think there is a 0% chance that if they implement something AI, they won’t be training models off our collected data.
I envy your optimism, but until literally any of these major companies steps up and actually buck the enshitification trend, I can’t out any faith that any of them will. Firefox is just the lastest to fall in line.
Hopefully the threat of pressure will be enough.
On a shuttle I took the other day in Northern Michigan.
