What about all the bowling cattle you had to castrate for those balls?

People who are good with tech VASTLY overestimate the general public’s tech literacy.

The entire thing is the author wanking himself silly over his knowledge of pop culture references from his childhood. Some of it reads like it was written by a 14 year old who isn’t all that into books.

The bit about the gaming suit that wanks the user off but also means you’re exercising so you get fit from wearing it was honestly one of the cringiest things I’ve ever read. If I thought the author was capable of the level of self reflection required, I’d have thought writing that part of the book was him acknowledging that the book is literally a work of literary masturbation.

It should have received the same response as The Room; a bad book only made into a cult classic by the people laughing at it.

Does that mean there could be species which humans want to fuck, but which would not consider humans intelligent enough to give proper consent?

Ya, it’d still be huge for Firefox, but what I’m really getting at is that even with this change, Chrome is going nowhere. They’re the big fish, they can afford to make these kinds of changes, because the people who care are a very small minority.

If coos don’t want to their they shouldn’t get paid.

I think this should be “If COOs don’t want to work there, they shouldn’t get paid”.

Or are getting somewhere else

No idea on this bit. Maybe “or should get a job somewhere else”?

The uBlock Origin chrome extension has had 34 million users. Chrome has 3.45 billion users.

Either;

A. You don’t take on any new tasks before the meeting. You’re already too distracted by the meeting to start anything new. So now you’re sitting there killing time for an hour until the meeting starts. You were doodling in a notepad, missed the start of the meeting, and joined 5 minutes late.

B. You were working on something and didn’t realise it was meeting time. Someone messages you 5 minutes after the meeting started, reminding you to join. You’ve completely forgotten what the meeting is about and it takes you a further 5 minutes to get your bearings.

A computer: does anything.

Tech journalists: is this AI?

The VLC guy turned down what a quick search is telling me was “several tens of millions” to show ads. I can’t even imagine what getting people to drop ublock would be worth.

If you’re looking for something you can carry about and use to store data on, why not just a USB-C thumb drive or external SSD?

Edit; this is intended for photographers, but you can get external SSDs that create their own WiFi network so you can transfer files wiressly to and from them: https://www.westerndigital.com/en-gb/products/portable-drives/wd-my-passport-wireless-ssd?sku=WDBAMJ2500AGY-EESN
