Why would anyone pay for viewing a website?

Or to put it another way,

Why would anyone pay for using a service that costs money to provide?

Why not just open the door with the key like every car ever

That was my first reaction too, but then I realised this is the least annoying watermark I've ever seen on one of these things, the brain quickly filters it out and ignores it because of how it's stationary and laid out.

Pretty good!

Before clicking the link I assumed it was some YouTube creator guy with a weird name.

Ah yes, global news is propaganda now because it's not about, let me guess, America?

Aye, he's an utter twat, is what he is.

Said his economic policies were from his god or some nonsense too, going against all of his policy advisors (who he came down hard on).

A nutjob deeply damaging the country he's in charge of, economically, and in so many other dangerous fascist ways too :-(

Nothing about how viable it will be to bring to market, if ever, just discussing R&D without much content.

Potentially always good to see these sorts of improvements :-) Is just not that impactful until they can make it useful. If it's 50 years away from being producible at scale? Eh. If it's only 6 months away and can drop in to existing pipelines? Hell yeah!

Huh? What if you're installing windows on a machine with no internet connection? Which is an entirely normal legitimate thing to do. It's not a requirement after all.

I have a number of machines that use a local account, they don't need a Microsoft account and will never be linked to one, it's unnecessary.

mmm that confused and then annoyed me too, 32c is far, far, FAR from 100c.

The content of this article is important, it's something that is a huge problem and I'm glad I've been further informed and educated, but outright lies and sensationalist titles are confusing at best, and always annoying.

Just give me the information, article writers, without trying to turn it into clickbait. Thank you.

They discovered that, in the last glacial period, Earth experienced its highest CO2 increase: 14 parts per million in just 55 years. Not, our planet experiences that increase every five years.

I've been reading this and just can't get my head around the last bit. What are they trying to say? O.o

Decentralized Systems Will Be Necessary To Stop Google From Putting The Web Into Managed Decline ( www.techdirt.com )

Is Google signaling the end of the open web? That’s some of the concern raised by its new embrace of AI. While most of the fears about AI may be overblown, this one could be legit. But it doesn’t mean that we need to accept it....

Not what you or the Supreme Court thinks.

Phew, good thing the courts in the USA - (a country with sadly laughable protections for people's rights compared to other large developed regions like the EU) - are the only courts in the world, and what they do is the only thing that matters.

Thanks for telling us all what we think, by the way. Where would we be without an American telling us all what we think?

We're so lucky.

Check it out! Technology survived a Carrington Event

Nope, that wasn't remotely powerful enough to be compared to Carrington.

For such an event, we'd have to take preemptive measures to protect our power grids by mostly shutting then down and cutting various interconnects temporarily until the danger had passed, for example.

That's pretty much the definition of the job of parent. To control everything around the child and how they interact with things.

It's not any more difficult than it ever was. For one thing, don't give kids a smartphone until they're at least 13, they have no need for one before then.

Similarly, up to that age, they should be taught how to use a computer and the internet, but only in a closely monitored, safe manner.

After 13 or there abouts, they are given more freedom and more responsibility to go along with it, and hopefully have been raised well enough to respect that.

From there, limitations and guide rails will remain in place, be it a traditional curfew in the evening, or a limitation of "screen time", and if course of what the children interact with online.

Greater autonomy is earned through positive actions and mutual respect, too. Over time as they approach adulthood you will be able to loosen restrictions and worry less, as the strong person you've helped raise will be able to make their own decisions with greater confidence and more positive outcomes.

Mistakes will be made on all sides along the way, there will be joy, sorrow, anger, love, parenting is a learning experience for all parties, but in the end, if all goes well, you'll have a well adjusted young adult who isn't addicted to their mobile phone or any of the apps contained within, who understands the dangers of such things, and how easily addictions and a warping of reality within the mind can set in.

Eventually you have to let go, let them be adults and make their own decisions, but by then they'll have this deep understanding of the dangers they face, and that's the best defence they can have.

It still might not be enough, but all you can do as a parent is try to prepare them, from then on they have to make their own mistakes, you know?

Anyway yeah, that's how I think about it :-)

I already have a Steam account, I'm not giving yet another company my details and login data just to play a game on a platform I already have an account for. Nope.

T his is a good reminder that if you work in ANY industry, no amount of good work, overtime, creativity, awards, or anything of the sort, can save you from the chopping block. Capitalism will ruin everything you love.

FTFY

mmm, it'll be a cold day in hell before I call them Meta, it's a very transparent attempt to psychologically reset our opinion of them, as if we're all stupid.

It's insulting how thick they think we are.

They're Facebook. Call yourselves "We didn't do evil stuff we're good guys honest" I still won't believe you ...

How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals

I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying "woke", "critical race theory", ""grooming"", and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open....

It's worth noting that you're looking at conservatives from a USA perspective, which is valid and very informative, it's just that OP didn't specify a country, so it might also be worth discussing conservative vs liberal culture in places like Europe too, or perhaps prefacing your wonderfully detailed response with something to clarify that when you're talking about conservatives, you mean a very specific subset of them (as opposed to, say, the conservatives of the UK, where their political party is itself called the Conservative Party).

Rock on! :-D

Being sacked isn't ruining someone's life. There are other companies, other jobs. It's hardly the end of the world.

What you're saying is "I want him to know it's okay to keep doing this to other people with no consequences".

SMS are completely free? I mean yeah, they cost money back in 2009, but that was a loooooong time ago.

Wherever you are, you're being completely screwed, yeah.

a normal box joint or even a rabbit joint is actually stronger

For anyone confused I looked it up, a rabbet joint is what they call a rebate joint in the USA. Learn something new every day! :-D

...in the USA. Doesn't affect us over the pond, but very important for USA users to take note.

What's bad about this?

Take 2 days to lay a carpet and paint the place and it'll be completely fine. Easy and simple.
