Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

My brainspace has been highjacked since I was a little kid by stupid advertisers. To this day, I remember ads for products that have disappeared decades ago and that I never gave a shit about at any point in my life.

Why are advertisers allowed to force their shit into my head?

I hate ads. I’m utterly intolerant of advertising.

This. So much this.

And if you can solder you can usually just replace the switches.

I feel like this will only hurt him in the long term, advertisers in general are probably more likely to avoid X in the future. I know I would.

I dunno, a patina can look quite good though, if you like that aesthetic.

If you buy a "smart" washing machine and actually connect it to the internet, you deserve what you get.

The regular Tesla cars have inconsistent panel gaps already, I feel this is a production issue, not a material issue.

And they think AI will be any safer?

Given how deranged things like AI Dungeon are, I can't see this going well.

I was already using Linux a lot of the time when Windows 7 was out, and seeing Microsoft push ads in the start menu, as well as all the other trash and pointless changes that they included with Windows 8+ just confirmed my decision to leave the Windows ecosystem.
