Supreme Court weakens federal regulators with Chevron overturning, threatening net neutrality, right to repair, big tech regulation, and more ( www.theverge.com )

The downfall of Chevron deference could completely change the ways courts review net neutrality, according to Bloomberg Intelligence’s Matt Schettenhelm. “The FCC’s 2024 effort to reinstitute federal broadband regulation is the latest chapter in a long-running regulatory saga, yet we think the demise of deference will...

I feel like I'm living in the prequel to The Handmaid's Tale

Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising ( www.techradar.com )

Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the...

You will take it and you will like it.

Quick, someone tell Nintendo!

They were failing pretty miserably back when I was a visitor. Hopefully that's still the case, though I imagine they will gain more and more traction as the reddit brain drain continues.

Maybe they'll do a Behind the Bastards podcasts on the corporate influences that ruined the internet. I look forward to that listen while enjoying some delicious Cool Ranch Doritos.

Same. I try to steer people to ALDI for groceries cause they were the least fuckwadish the past few years about price gouging and I sometimes feel like I'm shilling. I only wish I were getting paid for it :\

Another reason to push for early detection systems. Those poor people--imagine walking outside after a nice stroll through a visitor center to find a huge impact crater only tens of meters away!

They brought Kim Kardashian as their virgin sacrifice.

    There's probably some secret reddit-alike for the rich kids who have bothered to become literate. I can't imagine many of them have thick enough skins to hang out with the plebs and hear us talk mean about them.

    psycho_driver ,

    Well after that superb dad joke on not-dad, not-dad should definitely adopt former son.

    psycho_driver ,

    Numerically the odds are in our favor.

    Remember ye faithful, the dog giveth, but the dog can also taketh away!

    All you had to do in GoT was make it to the end of the first episode and then you're like "whoa wait aren't those two brother and sister?!?"

    psycho_driver ,

    Much like the internet itself.

    psycho_driver ,

    F me imagine working 3rd shift and trying to get some sleep in that house.

    psycho_driver ,

    Are these work addicts or realists though?

    At least three people have been successfully gaslit by game publishers.

    It's almost as if something like this has happened before . . .

    Russia threatens Britain with retaliation if involvement in Ukraine war deepens ( www.pbs.org )

    Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities and said it would hold drills simulating the use of battlefield nuclear weapons amid sharply rising tensions over comments by senior Western officials about possibly deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine....

    psycho_driver ,

    Aren't they really just threatening to move them up in the queue?

    psycho_driver ,

    The USA gets up to a fuck ton of assbaggery around the world, but our involvement with what's going on in the Ukraine isn't among them.

    psycho_driver ,

    Proof!

    psycho_driver ,

    Sick fucks and their twisted sense of humor.

    I wish I knew who they were so I could thank them for the laugh.

    psycho_driver ,

    reddit is a very good search resource though because it has 15 years of real people giving real information. I imagine reddit from here on out will be going hard on the enshitification train so it's value as a search resource will rapidly decline.

    psycho_driver ,

    Give SearxNG a try. There are browser plugins available for it. I was using Librey but I'm finding SearxNG to be better.

    psycho_driver ,

    Because google is a turd sandwich? When alternatives are out there, people need to use them. Everybody was using yahoo or infoseek, or in case of somewhat intelligent people, altavista back in 1999. Every now and then you'd hear someone say something about google, and lo and behold, it was way better than those search engines. Now google sucks. A replacement will eventually arise.

    psycho_driver , (edited )

    Aha. Well, so far I'm finding that it gives better results than I've been getting from google in years. I mostly search programming or linux related questions. It's another metasearch engine which goes through multiple search engines and presents you with the results it thinks are relevant. It will show you which search engine(s) it pulled each result from as well. Seems to almost completely get rid of blogspam and advertisements and just return real information.

    Edit: Also, it brings back the cached feature

    Much Later Edit: It is, in fact, very good at hiding advertising/shopping sites. I had to switch to google for a search the other day when I was looking to order something online because searxng had filtered out all of the etail sites in its results.

    psycho_driver ,

    Or they just tried harder to make it seem like a coincidence.

    psycho_driver ,

    Yeah unless they're like my little 25lb furnace who manages to push 250lb me to the very edge of the bed every night.

    psycho_driver ,

    Who are the smart ones now?!

    psycho_driver ,

    You will be punished if you pull this lever.

    psycho_driver ,

    They definitely killed the first. Just learned about the second and hearing it was MRSA? So who knows. Maybe they're borrowing some bioweapon tech from their pals at McDonnell Douglas.

    psycho_driver ,

    Hmm well . . .

    Windows 95 - revolutionary UI changes for its time

    Windows 98 - hot garbage update

    Windows 98SE - fixed hot garbage and was ok

    Windows ME - hot garbage

    Windows XP - Windows 95 for grown ups

    Windows 7 - This is where it breaks down, since from what I hear 7 was actually pretty good (been a linux user since the ME days) - but if you're counting Windows XP was Windows 5 so maybe they worked on 6 and just didn't release it to break the curse

    Windows 8 - Everybody should have just moved to linux at this point

    Windows 10 - Who knows. You should have been using linux

    Windows 11 - If you're not using linux now you shouldn't have a computer

    psycho_driver ,

    Oh shit you're right, and Vista was a giant turd sandwich.

    psycho_driver ,

    In the US companies will knowingly do shitty things and break established rules and laws if they feel the profit will outweigh the resulting fines. It happens all the time.

    Sometimes they will just have people killed too and face zero repercussions.

    psycho_driver ,

    Rumor has it that this is a temper tantrum after a competitor unveiled 10 minute charging technology.

    psycho_driver ,

    Yeah it's impressive. When this infrastructure is built-out to where I'm at 30 years from now, if I'm still alive, I might get an EV.

    psycho_driver ,

    Fuck Ajit Pai.

    psycho_driver ,

    Anybody who will actually take the time to read your comment by this point knows you're full of shit. Republicans aren't the party of fiscal responsibility. The only situation in which they actually care about saving money is if it saves money for their 1% handlers.

    psycho_driver ,

    I'm ok with this.

    psycho_driver ,

    To be fair China will send you to a reeducation camp or disappear you if you try to act like a western billionaire.
