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.

Well Twitter is awful anyway, so no big deal...

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.

Yeah but the old guy will die of old age before it gets bad enough to actually affect him, so he doesn't care

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.
