Not to defend this practice but my guess is that the firmware was released before Thanksgiving, but the owner didn't turn on the grill until Thanksgiving, which is when the grill picked up the firmware.

Guy is still an idiot for buying a device that REQUIRES Internet access.

They blame Obama on things that Trump has explicitly caused.

Be careful with that question because they will blame everything except themselves.

Oftentimes, though schools don't have many options because they simply need bodies to supervise the students.

And sadly, this is why schools are being defunded and requirements for teachers are simply "a warm body, but don't be woke".

Red states especially only want baby sitters because they want "education" to occur at church. With the DoE almost completely gutted, this problem is going to get worse and we'll pay the price in about 10 years.

No. That's the point of an open primary. You can vote in either party's primarily.

I'm in a pretty red district. My primary vote is more powerful when voting Republican.

It's almost as if certain types of people want to be assholes but want an irrefutable entity to say it's okay.

My state has open primaries and I vote in the Republican primary to fuck their shit up.

The way I read this graph is that the upper portion are people they want to oppress and the lower portion are people that they preserve is oppressing them.

I sort of get it. There are more boomers and even Gen-X people who are choosing to own a dumb phone just because of the sheer enshittification of the Internet.

I get it.

I think what makes enshittification is "give users less and charge more". It's about returning shareholder value instead of customer value.

Netflix is a great example. They have pulled back on content, made password sharing more challenging, and increased cost. They still report increases in paying users.

They've done the math. They know they can take lost in users because they know they'll make up for it. That's the sad part in all of this.

This is a great compromise honestly. More OSS devs need to be paid for their work and if an anime character helps do that, I'm all for it.
