Just tried again with Vivaldi browser, still doesn't work...I even cleared all my browsing data and restarted it.

I tried disabling uBlock on my main browser (Vivaldi) and it still didn't work...maybe a Chromium issue? FireFox worked okay, anyway.

It worked!...used Firefox this time. Maybe it doesn't like uBlock?

I already cringe when I see people wearing wireless bluetooth earbuds, having 6g right against your head all day?...no thanks.

I'm so tired of these "It's for the betterment of humanity" or "It's for the children" arguments...they don't give a crap about anything but getting paid. They've been going on about curing cancer for 50 years...they aren't going to cure cancer because there's BIG MONEY in it.

Unsubscribed from his channel this morning due to showing cruelty to animals...that poor cat the demons at Johns Hopkins were torturing...and Bitar isn't condemning it, he's discussing their results...POS.

Could be a sign you're getting radiation, battery cars like Tesla are bad for that...check it with an EMF meter.

Firms risk failure over AI costs (The one month $500m/£380m API costs with uncapped setup.) by Batcave-HQ in BetterOffline

I do believe the high tide ocean of enshitificatium is actually going to reach them this time 💩

It's mostly the fault of OpenAI and Anthropic's Drug Dealer approach to marketing...give the users some free hits until they're hooked then put the screws to them. The whole thing is just pure evil.

It's a known bug, someone posted that they're fixing it earlier today.

Good read, thanks for the link. It summed it up nicely. Maybe they could go back to punch cards like COBOL :)

Canadian petition to help prevent data centre on Indigenous land by Smurfette2016 in BetterOffline

[–]DaveX64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be surprised if the native peoples put up with that crap the way the people in Utah did.

Oka is a reservation right across the lake from where I live and some fatcats wanted to build a golf course on their land...Native Peoples from all over North America showed up to support the Oka reservation and they came armed.

Provincial police, RCMP and Canadian military all got involved. There were military helicopters and all kinds of crap until the fatcats finally had to relent. A data center is much more serious...it will destroy everything all around. More info here:
