It's unlikely to be lawful if both you and the site is in Europe or UK. It's now greyer than it was in California but that is VERY new law.

"Pay money to drop targeted advertising" is arguably lawful but only if consent requested on a CLEAR basis. Word salad about cookies doesn't count as clear.

Designing and delivering a complex platform is one skill, rescuing someone else's is another. Not necessarily one Horner would have

The territories which have the requisite minerals have *already* worked that out and it is merely a new, additional reason they are attacked by oligarchs.

Aha, Adamski is the bit of 90s in the 80s book then. (In a cultural decades aren't cultural decades @poprambler.bsky.social sort of way) @outonbluesix.bsky.social

The real headline with the MacBook Neo is a decent *screen* for that sort of price.

Here is what Sally Phillips actually said, in case you see the headline put about by the arseholes at @theipaper.com.

Sometimes I am glad when a paywall saves me from being tempted to put something in my eyes even though I know I shouldn't.

I knew something whacky would happen, per the rules of this timeline we live in.

Firefly is basically Consider Phlebas anyway so just buy the audiobook and consider that a new adaptation...

XBox froze support somewhen about DX12c didn't it? Which was A While ago so it's not hard to imagine whatever GDDM stack they put on this thing also having a set of extensions for XBox legacy.

But it's also not hard to imagine them just sending the entire era down the memory hole, for sure

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
