That's the core of the trial though, right? That through these deals and other things Google does to stay dominant, they stifle the market for competition. Ie Edge, Chrome, and every other Chromium-based browser pushes Google to the end users and FF pushes some unfamiliar search platform, then there's an uphill, arguably unfair, battle for it to gain enough market share to be sustainable.

Skyrim is a great game.... for its time. Todd Howard is the blight on the games industry for putting so many resources toward so many Skyrim remasters/re-releases/money grabs. Even if he outsourced all that work, those are dev houses he could have spent their time helping Bethesda actually fill their huge open worlds and perhaps get the same feeling of "every decision actually matters" that Larion did.

Twitter's definition of state-affiliated:

How state-affiliated media accounts are defined

State-affiliated media is defined as outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution. Accounts belonging to state-affiliated media entities, their editors-in-chief, and/or their prominent staff may be labeled. We will also add labels to posts that share links to state-affiliated media websites.

Conspiracy theories aside, AFAIK there's no evidence that any level of the US government exercises control over NPR.

Pisses me off that CEOs never get fired for their bullshit and get to "retire" or "resign" like they didn't just make the most boneheaded decision that severely hurt the company.

There really needs to be some organizational structure where the CEOs have the power to make the decisions they make, but the employees have the power to punish and fire them when they do shit like this. No golden parachutes for them!

And people turn their heads, move their eyes across their windshield, change focus to look ahead or closer, look in their mirrors, listen for sounds (emergency vehicles, car honks, etc), are able to do things like look through gaps and other car windows to adjust to partial obstructions.

The fact that he doesn't realize you need a multitude of sensors to do even a little bit of what a human can do tells you all you need to know about Elon's so called brilliance.

Yup. Do something so absurd to generate the rage, then apologize and announce your true intentions under the guise of a compromise.

One of the nails in the coffin for Digg was that users increasingly felt they didn't have a voice on the site anymore because a few power users had games the system and taken control. The same thing has happened to Reddit, except now those users are able to hide behind bots and AI.

I didn't realize how bad it had become until I came to the Fediverse and saw more fresh content than I had seen on Reddit in years. No more timed reposts of the same memes or top posts, more organic conversations in the comments, meme formats I hadn't seen in years.

I watched it last night. You hit the nail on the head - it was just like the first episode after the other reboots. Not a bad thing, and I enjoyed it. Still felt like Futurama and the writers continue to respect the continuity of previous seasons, which is something I always appreciate.
