LTT talked about this a while back.. it's because the GPU companies don't want modular GPUs.

How about enforcing the existing laws?

Until they stop letting him screw with the sound track I'm done with Christopher Nolan movies.

Relying on cultural hot topics rather than real character building killed this show. The spore drive was also kinda "out there" though interesting. I wish the best for the cast.

That's what they said about Internet Explorer right up until the moment where Microsoft wanted everyone to switch to Edge. Not only could you suddenly uninstall it, but it even started uninstalling itself!

Funny how that happens

The problem with Windows Updates is that they force new 'features' on you along with the patches.

With Linux you get to choose how bleeding edge you want to be, and can generally avoid the monetization crap.

Spot on. The availability of CSAM was overblown by a well funded special interest group (Exodus Cry). The articles about it were pretty much ghost written by them.

When you're the biggest company in porn you've got a target on your back. In my opinion they removed all user content to avoid even the appearance of supporting CSAM, not because they were guilty of anything.

PornHub has been very open about normalizing healthy sexuality for years, while also providing interesting data access for both scientists and the general public.

"Exodus Cry is an American Christian non-profit advocacy organization seeking the abolition of the legal commercial sex industry, including pornography, strip clubs, and sex work, as well as illegal sex trafficking.[2] It has been described by the New York Daily News,[3] TheWrap,[4] and others as anti-LGBT, with ties to the anti-abortion movement.[5]"

Shocking that the ex reddit crowd doesn't want to call out Google for adding "diverse" to everyone's queries, no matter the results.

I live in Minneapolis bud. You will be actively shouted down for even mentioning that you considered reporting a crime because "the police might shoot them". Additionally, all property crimes here must now be reported to 311 (not the police) which is purely to get you a case number for insurance. They don't pursue them.

As for GDP, yeah man, urban areas are blue. It's not because they're better, it's because poor people congregate there for public services.

$5700 for a bike is a bit of a luxury, that'll buy you a 2024 Honda Rebel DCT last I looked. I bought an '04 Shadow last year for $2000, maybe aim lower?

The reason for the difference is that it's a lot easier to destroy and steal a motorcycle, leaving nothing for the bank to repossess.
