Drowning women to determine if they are witches.

Mostly increased the spying to stay alive lol

I moved to Kagi paid search engine and haven't looked back.

There are open source search engines albeit you'll need to host it somewhere.

Any major search engine (think Google, bing, etc) are just place for companies to pay to get into the top results.

FCC is kind of a joke. Corp tells them what to do. If FCC did what it's meant to do, we wouldn't have such crap mobile and Internet infrastructure, terrible privacy policies, etc etc.

5+ ads each being 3-5 min long.

I was in India and the ads were straight up music videos.....

Competition is good....when the competition is actually competitive.

But what has happened is games on are steam .... which installs the launcher + game.

So it's not a win at all. It's actually a loss for us. If steam was to force "yeah you can publish the game on steam, but you cannot use your launcher"

Sadly this is pretty common

Ahh. Netflix trying to "revive" a show. I bet Netflix will axe this like most of its shows.

The first major issue for me was that the launcher was a crypto miner and they didn't tell anyone.

Since then, I have 0 trust in them and refuse to install the launcher. I don't care for the "free games"

It's about $4.3/gal for petrol in Punjab, India

You can be but it's very rare to find someone that is.

For programming I always tell folks you need 3 skills: adaptability, self-reliance, and strong problem solving (thinking outside of the box, etc)

The most lacking skill I see new students is self-reliance. Learning to do your own research, knowing when to ask for help and when not to, etc.

Nothing. This is a PR move by meta, nothing more. They are trying to seem "hip" and push their ads.

Meta, Google, MS, OpwnAI, etc gave akeasy scrubbed fediverse. Probably associated accounts to folks real names.
