I'm a little surprised we don't have "AI-powered ad-blockers" right now.

"...everybody's a pedo."

whatever.

I need the visibility and it's unreasonable of me to expect any service to exist in perpetuity, let alone maintain it's startup fantasies of being able to sleep at night.

Lack of centralization isn't the biggest factor, and gatekeeping about it anonymously on a Friday Night ain't impressing anybody you might care to.

Huh. According to that link they killed WordPad to sell Word.

Question- wouldn't bringing WordPad back be a lot cheaper for MS than fucking up Notepad?

I stopped sharing my artwork on IG when Facebook decided to start spamming my feed with posts from various groups intended to be hostile towards LGBT*. I'm on BlueSky now and have no interest in looking back, even if they did make it easier to post.

Try it with an emoji.

Umm... ALL Microsoft needed to do was fix the wonky word-wrap. Did they forget about WordPad?

The people who voted for this bullshit to be vocal in their disapproval.

New? You don't remember him announcing that a group of immigrants was eating people's cats?

Why aren't boarding gates USB-C...?

And this site has been cheerleading Android adoption the entire time. Oops.

Heh. So yesterday I searched for 'Trump obese' and Google's AI results gave me a paragraph about how he's technically just overweight. I then searched for 'Trump dementia' and it returned "An AI Overview is not available for this search". So... you're getting curated dogshit AI.

* Glad I took screengrabs, those same searches today aren't triggering the AI overview.

I don't either, but let them waste their energy on it.

Thank you! I confess I've had moments where I *thought* I understood what a register is and then I come back to a few months later and... nope, didn't retain. I think the difference this time is a combination of me working with visual node graphs (as opposed to writing code) and remembering a comment someone made about the Atari Jaguar from many years ago. I want to say it was John Carmack (if not it was someone with approximately his notoriety in the industry) who said that the Jaguar only needed one more register and it would have been very competitive with the PSX. I might have the quote wrong but it did send me down the rabbit-hole of trying to understand how this could possibly be.

Well I recently put it together and had the epiphany I needed. I think I just had it in my head that once that data was in RAM it was instantly available, and then my skull thickened around the time 'RAM Latency' became an issue when configuring systems. I feel like I owe an apology to people who have attempted to explain this to me before. Hehe

Thank you. I'm a software guy and now I'm starting to understand the hardware better.
