  • Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week

    Jump

  • What does google expect users to do once they realize they get better extensions with firefox?

    If that happens en masse, which is extremely unlikely, Google can just pull its funding for Mozilla and cripple them

    The entire sector is fucked because of lack of regulation

    Jump

  • The problem is that Firefox has like a crumb of the market and it's held by a lifeline given by Google itself

    There is no guarantee Firefox would survive the long term ... Heck it would die short after Google decides to cut them off

  • TikTok offered an extraordinary deal. The U.S. government took a pass.

  • Proving this ban is not about being scared of China .. it's about killing competition for Murican companies

    Report: Apple and OpenAI have signed a deal to partner on AI

  • Wow, Apple is about to invent AI!

  • It’s a summer of playing hooky: feeling pressured not to take their earned vacation, Americans are finding a loophole

    Jump

  • This is what "PTO" and "unlimited vacation" policies were designed to accomplish

  • He Made a PowerPoint on Mothers Starving in Gaza. Then He Lost His Government Job.

    Jump

  • Ah the land of the free

    BTW, this is a real violation of free speech... Negative consequences from the government for speaking... Even in the context of your own work responsibility

  • If you were home and had five minutes to hide from foreign agents who were coming to hunt you down, where would you hide?

    Jump

  • But then why buy the ticket at all? How are foreign agents going to get your credit card purchase? Just leaving the car in the airport should be enough

    I expect you probably missed that the question denotes foreign agents so no worries.

    You are right on that, I read "agents" and missed the foreign part

    Is there any jail time with Trumps conviction

    Jump

  • Cynical me says no jail time.... We'd be lucky to see house arrest

    There is a non-zero chance he will get nothing... Something like a suspended sentence which means he can be called a convicted felon but would suffer no consequences

    Jump

  • They would need access to the airports CCTV to determine that I did not actually board the flight.

    Hmmm, no they can just ask the airline. They keep track of who boarded and that information is not protected or privileged at all

    I'd give you kudos for the creativity, this would make a great scene in a Jack Reacher episode as long as the plot moves on so the audience doesn't have to time to linger on it

  • GOP?

  • A year after Titan sub implosion, an Ohio billionaire says he wants to make his own voyage to Titanic wreckage

    Jump

  • But what makes you think this particular billionaire doesn't also suffer from delusions of grandeur and thinks he too can make a submarine with parts bought at home Depot?

  • Patrol vehicle runs over 2 women on Florida beach; sergeant cited for careless driving

    Jump

  • LOL... "there are no easy answers"... on one hand, you have people enjoying the beach and outdoors... on the other you have red necks driving irresponsibly and likely drunk... no easy answers, how can you choose?!

  • Certainly not in the US of A... but the rest of the world may have a chance if this actually pans out

  • PayPal plans an ad network built off your purchase history

    Jump

  • Exactly right

  • PayPal plans an ad network built off your purchase history

    Jump

  • Correct... In late stage capitalism "innovation" means breaking some laws (Air B&B, Uber), smoke and mirrors (AI) or outright scams (Theranos)

    This is why all these new "innovations" need to flood the market as hard and fast as possible.... Before anyone notices what they really are

  • PayPal plans an ad network built off your purchase history

    Jump

  • So happy I deleted my account with them 5 years ago after going throught their laughably bad customer protection (the only reason I had them to begin with, I had figured it was a good idea to have a buffer between merchants and my CC)

    In the end, it was perfect because, as they refused to help, I went straight to the credit card to reverse the fraudulent charge and closed all accounts with PayPal... Then I get a whiny email from them when the CC took the funds and left them holding the bag... Sweet minor victory

  • Temperatures in Pakistan cross 52 degrees Celsius — that’s more than 125°F

  • "Other people are worse". Irrelevant to the problem unless you want to go start doing vigilante justice.

    I wouldn't say irrelevant to the problem... Most of the stuff we as individuals can do, amount to trying to put out a tire fire by clapping... Even millions of us won't make almost any difference, specially when you have 10 assholes who, instead of clapping are actively pouring gas on the fire

    I'm 100% on board with the clapping... But I'm not kidding myselft that we are going to save ourselves until we eliminate the firebugs

  • The level of engagement on Reddit these days

    Jump

  • Same, I lurked around a lot and thought it would be useful one day of I had a question ... I'm just an avid DIYer and out of maybe 10 times I decided to ask, I got 1 solid answer... Everything else were wild guesses or just trolls
