Humans are bad at it, too. If you've ever ridden a bike or motorcycle, you quickly learn that car and truck drivers simply aren't looking for 2 wheelers. And therefore they don't see them. (I think this reinforces your point).

Automation also cuts down on mistakes.

Or greatly amplifies them if you coded it wrong.

Don't many game engines kinda sorta do this?

I think of it as low effort but still has some slight potential to get a few laughs or start a conversation.

I can't remember how I did it but I finally figured out a way to turn that shit off. My phone is pretty old, though. They probably took that away on the newer phones.

I know it won't fix it, and this is hardly a comprehensive list. But I feel like there are some stupid-easy things Americans could do to reduce the harm. Just a few that come to mind:

  • Don't buy a big vehicle like a giant pickup truck unless you really need it. (A pavement princess for your ego is not a need).
  • Book air travel as little as possible. Again, only if you truly need it.
  • If you are growing something that requires a lot of water in an area that doesn't get very much rain...stop doing that. (If you have some kind of closed loop water system, that's an exception. But how many actually have that.)
  • Telecommute if you can. If you can do your job from home and your boss won't let you, it's time to hunt for another job.

Doctor, why do I have cataracts.

Also, I recommend watching Ricky Royal's play-through on YouTube. His channel is "Box of Delights". The play-through is from several years ago but is very well done.

You're welcome. I hope you enjoy it!

We mostly watch news and sports in my house. So unfortunately, live TV. Occasionally we watch other things. I mute the commercials and browse my phone when they're on.

But I would love a TV that is smart enough to auto hide & mute every kind of ad. Even little logos on the athletes' uniforms. Hide the ads on the pitcher's mound. Hide the billboards and signs in the stadium. Show some cool little generic animation, music video, or slide show during commercial breaks. Hide the damned popup window ads and scrolling ads that some channels do. Remove product placements from movies and shows. Basically make all ads completely vanish.

I thought communing with Satan is how we get pregnant. But, I admit I didn't pay much attention in Communism class.

Can you do trains instead? Having ridden thousands of miles in busses I can tell you it gets extremely cramped and uncomfortable, and this gets worse the longer you're on it. Sleeper trains in the US and Canada are really nice. Not sure about Europe.

Work on diagnosing and fixing the problem first, worry about appointing blame later (if at all).

Not asking for tech support here, just wondering if in theory it would be possible to create a plug-in or even a complete browser that blocks ads in a way that's impossible to detect. One model that comes to mind is a quarantined / containerized non-blocking virtual browser which queries the web server directly, then the UX filters the content from that container and presents it to the user ad-free. As far as the web server can tell, the containerized browser is just vanilla Chromium.

Has anybody gotten this to work? If I set up multiple MFA devices with my IAM accounts, they all work flawlessly. But if I set up multiple MFA devices with my root account, only the original MFA device works. No matter how carefully I set up and synch a secondary device, it simply will not work with root. As the linked article says, this should be possible with either root or IAM (though in the past this was not the case). Thanks.

Some of the satire on there was gold. Had a wonderful lampoon vibe.
