That, finally, explains the pink sauce lady!

Back in my day, we called that “hard-mode plagiarism.” They can’t punish you if they can’t find a specific plagiarized source!
Which one?!
They were so close on the acronym: “Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers” should be “Detecting Ominous Location Trackers” (DOLT). (“Obnoxious” also works but unfairly downplays the stalking/domestic-violence angle.)
Protec, not attak.
Now, they could still rename it FireWolfHound, which would be a rebranding I would be on board with.
I wish I had a decent explanation. But instead, I have Windows 11’s shiny new Taskbar configuration menu that politely warns me that showing seconds on the clock takes more power. Right under the “Show Copilot” button.
These fucks are fucked.
But what if I wanted to communicate with humans instead of propaganda-bots? Then yes, that Internet is dead, and there’s no real fucking reason to be on most of those sites.
I think an algorithm that sounds unprepared to deal with children is insufficient.
It’s a $6000 upcharge. I think you have to make an appointment for it?
Gemini webrings are the future?
You’re two years late.
Maybe not for the reputable ones, that’s 2026, but these sheisters have been digging out the bottom of the swimming pool for years.
That used to be the dream: corps hired you to work on the thing they needed that you were good at. Now, though, they just want everything for free and just acquihire to reassign you to whatever makes more money.
Did the old device agreement allow them to brick it until you agreed to the new agreement? If not, I say file that class action.
Wait, what did I miss?
So we can either have secure cars or late stage capitalism? Sounds like a worthwhile trade.

Search was never Google’s money maker, that was AdWords. Search was merely the tool they used to get users in the door and exposed to AdWords, where they made their money. AdWords raked in ~100M/day in the early 2010s iirc.
It is wildly annoying. If you want to get the details, check out the book “What’s the matter with Kansas” for a quick history.
No, the RiNOs were intentionally and specifically hunted to extinction through shame and exclusion. That’s why the name, “Republican in Name Only,” is applied those who don’t embrace the party’s wildest platforms.
This is significant because this is the first time in the history of copyright bots that they’ve ever had to remove a work from the bot’s registry. Given how rarely it happens, the code to do that probably won’t even be worth the cost of writing for another decade or two: some guy at YouTube will just add a manual exception for that video. (And that’s assuming the best of intention and action from the copy-vio-bot sellers which is unlikely, given their existing behavior.)
I remember going from 128 -> 192 MB in order to upgrade from ME to XP so I could learn programming with Visual C# 1.0. It was completely doable, assuming you manually disabled almost all the background services.
