I was really excited about this game when I first heard about it, right up until I learned it was Ubisoft. Their involvement makes me pretty dubious, so I'll wait and see how hard they crank the monetization handle, and also what the reviews look like.

I'm still on mp3s. I have gigs of music on my Plex server and just use that. Fuck subscriptions.

A coworker of mine has worked with CrowdStrike in the past; I haven't. He said that the releases he was familiar with from them in the past were all staged into groups and customers were encouraged to test internally before applying them; not sure if this is a different product or what, but it seems like a big step backwards of what he's saying is right.

That's because in America we're so concerned about contaminants on shells that we clean all the protection off the outside, making the shells porous enough for bacteria to get through. Store-bought eggs in the US so have to be refrigerated.

Terminator 2. The ad campaign and trailers revealed what had the potential to be an amazing reversal of expectations well ahead of time. I actually got to see it with a friend who was out of touch enough to not have seen any spoilers; I wish I'd had his experience.

I mean, the domestic businesses are the ones who own Congress and are using it to get rid of a competitor.

FYI, what you're talking about is the Dark Web; the Deep Web is different. "Deep Web" refers to places on the regular Internet that are not indexed by Google and the other major search engines; you don't need Tor to get to them.

The thing is, truth decay has been going on for a while now. 2016 was of course the year of "alternative facts," but even before then anyone with sufficient money and/or clout could redefine truth to some degree.

What we're going to see with ChatGPT and deepfakes is really just a democratization of truth decay: what was once the province of only a few will now be open to us all.

Exactly: a large chunk of the time, videos seem to simply be a way to stretch the content that could be a bullet list into a not-easily-parseable mess of content sandwiched into "Hey lovely people.... Don't forget to SMASH that like and subscribe button!"

Sometimes videos are done well, but an annoying number of them are just attempts to monetize fluid content with a lot of padding; they're like the recipe blogs of the video world.
