Just because my monkey brain falls for clickbait doesn't mean that I want it.

The MKBHD thumbnail is a perfect example of this. I really want to know what makes that phone almost perfect because I can't fight my curiosity but when faced with an honest title like the one on the right which states that it's just a review makes me realize that I'm actually not interested in it.
And after clicking on a clickbait video and scrolling through it to check if it actually delivers on it's promises I'm mostly left disappointed and will close it again.

And I can't just ignore all titles that pose a question like this because there are youtubers like technology connections that actually deliver on their titles promise in a thourough way.

TIL police are forcefully injecting people with Ketamine WTF!

I know this is a joke but here comes my two cents:

1. Create a hidden folder called .free_energy_designs
2. Put some random images of pyramids in there
3. Use VeraCrypt to encrypt with secret second encryption layer where you store your porn

I agree, though I also believe that Reddit is like that already.

There is a big difference between a self driving car that is monitored by a human and a car driving entirely on its own.

I wholeheartedly believe that electronic driver's aids can improve traffic safety (ESC, ABS etc.), but they need to aid the driver and not replace them.

I'd like to point to how aircraft pilots are using their autopilot and other electronic aids in that they give control of the airplane to the computer but continuously monitor the plane and make sure everything is working properly even though aircraft are much more straight forward to fly for a computer than cars are to drive.

FOSS isn't about building from source though. It's about making software accessible without restrictions on who uses it and how it's used.

By the way Gentoo is also giving you convenience compared to Slackware or building Linux from scratch.

I can see it embedded on kbin if that's what you mean.

My router actually has 4 brightness options for the LEDs with one of them being "off". I wish more manufacturers would think about stuff like this.

They don't need to sell that information to be untrustworthy, they just need to lose it.

This is how people steal your identity or buy stuff with your credit card even though you only gave that information to big corporations. It has happened a lot and is still happening.

As someone who has worked on large databases I can confidently say that every single piece of information the company had on all of it's customers was available at my fingertips in clear text except for the passwords which I could have cracked in the thousands per second if they had less than 9 characters, which a lot of passwords did because the requirement was at least 8.

The only way the company can prevent me from doing malicious things with your data is if they only hire people with a moral compass and paying them enough. And the first one isn't exactly easy.

There is not a lot you can do as a consumer to not get taken advantage of except minimizing the amount of data a company has on you because they don't care enough and you will care once the police comes knocking on your door because of a crime someone did with your identity.

I love everything about this!

Game playability depends on network bandwidth and latency and also on the type of game. I've played Hitman Blood Money over the net when Square Enix had a programme that let you play their games in a browser for 30 minutes or something for every ad you watched and that worked quite well on a 12mbit connection close to the servers. But I can't imagine something like Counter Strike working well.

But no matter what happens the desktop can't die as there are still Linux, BSDs and MacOS (maybe even Haiku but I don't know how viable that is, certainly not for gaming anytime soon).

Busking is not begging though and they don't advertise or try to sell you cds. If you give them money they'll appreciate it but they won't harass you if you don't (well there is always bad eggs but they aren't the majority).

There was an old guy playing violin all year even when it was super cold and I walked past him everyday and gave him some money. Not because he asked but because I wanted to. He was always appreciative and we both had a pleasurable experience.

I believe you can separate your business and private contributions by having an onlyfans link in your bio but not directly advertising it in your posts.
Kind of like I get paid as a software developer professionally but I still contribute to open source in my free time. Of course potential employers could go through my free stuff and then decide that they want to pay me to work for them, but it's not directly marketing my career for people not interested in it.
