I started to watch him as he never pulled punches and picked some great match ups of guests and hot topics.

I stopped because his insufferable ego kept compelling him to continuously talk over everyone with his non-stop opinionated smug. Once I noticed I was just watching one man listening to the sound of his own voice while guests that I wanted to hear from get repeatedly cut off at every third word by his desire to manufacture Jerry Springer type drama, I realised how punchable I truely found him to be.

I don’t think that’s the full story.

How often do you think people ask Google a question, either to the assistant or just in the search bar and get served the answer scraped directly into the search results, and never need to actually click into the article at all?

Facebook does this too.

Between that and needing to adjust ones journalism style to appease click throughs and the algorithm just to get eyes on ads, dilutes the quality of the write ups as an added problem.

I think making social media pay might be misguided, but there is definitely a problem, maybe even a form of plagiarism committed by alot of these social media giants by taking other people’s work and serving it up directly, and summarized on their own sites next to a link that many people won’t click on. It is after all in their best interest to get you to stay on the feed feeding.

Reddit is absolutely guilty of this too. It’s just that we happily do it for them and create TLDR bots and the like.

It’s absolutely fair if Google is populating their feeds with weather, news and other content from other peoples hard work, and then having the balls to serve up ads, that these websites should have a right to claim a cut of the advertising or not have the information shown.

Haha! I think I’ve convinced her that the colour doesn’t matter as much as she thinks.

Yeah. I imagine the Global’s are less of a hassle. The Chinese ROM was horrific. Got most of it to work eventually but could never get the assistant to work at all pretty much. MIUI in general I found to be a bit of a hack experience.

Good shout. Yeah I’m struggling to comprehend that people pay top tier laptop / second hand car prices for a phone. The 8 pro is basically perfect otherwise. 7 or maybe 8 vanilla could be the way to go.

Thanks. Added to my research pile!

Invert this graph for Londoners.

Ah yes Ritz. The real cereal killer.

It’s much easier to bug test and build for a PS5 as they are all the same. To get a resource intensive game working on PC means a lot more resources going into tweaking texture packs etc for a myriad of combinations of graphics cards processors and drivers and drives. Running on similar architecture is only part of the problem.

Don’t forget the 60s

Great list! Saved.

The fact that it’s missing Noita is criminal though.

Late reply, sorry just going though my messages here. But I get all the Linux love, however I assume you’re a developer or a writer. Linux is incredibly niche and basically a non option for a vast load of industries.

Im a professional video editor and animator. Adobe is my bread and butter. I can’t use another option realistically either as it mostly doesn’t exist or I have to send out my projects to other creators and need to be able to talk to other PCs.

Linux doesn’t support Adobe, it doesn’t support about 80% of my other creative softwares, it won’t play nice. Windows, for my use case runs like a dream.

Until Linux gets broader adoption of actual pro level applications for the film industry (and many others), it will always be a niche OS for coders and web devs sadly. I’d sooner roll back to windows XP than use Linux.

This article seems to be missing an article. The content is pretty much the headline turned into the length of a tweet.

In one short comment you’ve made me go from vaguely appreciating a friendly, prompt and punctuated reply to a review, to making every exclamation punched message smell like sweet sticky corporate sarcasm.

Thanks. I’m a new me.

Rick, rolled

Theyre probably a bit big to separate out now, but what about trying cuttings?

Plant this one into a pot about twice the size, and cut all the stems down to just above the third node. Each cutting should be ‘leaf node - stem - leaf node - stem’. Trim off the bottom set of leaves on each cutting, and soak them all in a jar of water, ensuring the bottom cleaned node is submerged. ( You can leave about half an inch of stem below the second node).

In about 2-3 weeks you should have loads of roots springing from each node, and in 6 weeks you should have a few healthy trays of basil plants growing in pots sized in your picture and a never ending supply of basil.

Bonus: all the leaves left after trimming have on slices of mozzarella with a drizzle of balsamic.

Strike 1: upload an AI racist post changing a person’s ethnicity

Strike 2: not even paying her for her work, and taking her only ‘income’ away which is exposure. (Silly of people that work for exposure but that’s another topic.

Strike 3: apologize in the form of a thinly veiled threat of legal action

Strike 4: feign ignorance, by saying you did it because you were overwhelmingly popular on social media, and weren’t paying attention and had no idea you didn’t pay your models. (Don’t lie, you absolutely knew). Pass the blame further by blaming the fans, because apparently someone else had a vested interest in changing the race of one of his models.

Strike 5: try and turn the narrative by making sure everyone knows that the event is in honour of his dead wife, and actually WE should feel sorry for HIM.

Sounds an awful lot like narcissism (what’s the narcissists poem?)

This guy seems to be a bit of a racist scumbag, who not only takes advantage of young models, but is happy to throw those around him under the bus or throwing his lawyers at the problem before dishing out an honest and humble apology.

Dragonborn Cleric. Sounds dope.

I don’t use Edge BECAUSE they keep begging and throwing ads at me for it. It’s off putting, desperate and exactly what I don’t want.

I don’t use it because the Edge splash screen is chokka ads and news stories I don’t want.

I don’t use Edge because I find Bing annoying, and prefer duck duck go and google in that order, and I’m sick of constantly being nagged to use shit I don’t want.

Microsoft get it in your head, you are an operating system. Your job is to Operate MY system. Do that well. And by all means build more software, make it optional and installable by choice. If it’s good and works for me and not for you I will use it.

I don’t use Chrome either. It no longer works for me. It now works for Google first.

Ive recently downgraded Firefox from browser number 1 to number 2. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s not the best.

Currently I’m enjoying Opera because it feels fresh and zippy and works for me , but I’m not loyal. Edge if you do good, maybe I will use you too. But stop your pathetic shit.
