May I offer you a previously viral, now stale meme with your updoot simulator?

I do not fear monsters under my bed or in my darkened closet, nor do I fear retirement, which is just as imaginary.

Average parabola denier.

The thing is, it’s only a ROI if any of those passengers converts to a buyer. The act of seeing an ad creates no value for the manufacturer unless they are converted to a buyer. What you are describing is a market that has the consumer (ad watcher) almost completely removed from the conversion of capital. Being forced to watch an ad, in this case, only benefits the airline by their receiving ad revenue. The passengers are nearly supflourous.

What’s the ROI on ads anyway? I feel like ads are just a way to funnel money between corps. People who are forced to see ads are really not even the point anymore. This is like corporations subsidizing other corporations. Don’t even matter that you buy that item being shown to you.

Smurtphön makers really have nothing new. They got their app store lock-in and went back to sleep. 😴😴😴

Been using it on a fedora workstation and a Debian server for 2 years and it has been stable and amazing for backups and regressions. So fast and easy to use. I use timeshift to handle organizing and scheduled backups.

FWIW, I set up these distros to separate my home directory from the OS, so backups aren’t clogged with random files in my /home directory. I use Pika Backup to handle the /home directories to a separate backup site.

It’s basically automated, reliable, and sooo fast. Love it.

After seeing Monster 2003, I remember leaving the theater feeling gut-punched. After reading about the constant child abuse Aileen Wuornos suffered as a kid, it was hard reconciling the path her life took. Charlieze Theron did a masterful portrayal of a broken person grasping at straws for a bit of authentic compassion. It’s no wonder Wuornos was such a mess.

Modern cars are the epitome of feature creep. They have overladen these machines with overly complex systems that are all cascading points of failure.

“Honey, we talked about this. You’ve got to stop giving me the silent treatment. It’s the same with your mum an dad. It’s going to destroy us.”

It was a pretty decent game on the commodore64 back in '86.

Gibson’s sprawl trilogy when I read them back in '89. The fact that it had many short chapters made it easy to consume in quick bursts of reading
