If you press on the "learn more" button, it brings you to a page that ends with "try disabling extensions, such as adblockers".

This was inevitable. Everybody who was ever going to buy a Switch has already bought one. How else are they going to make more money? Keep increasing prices and keep cutting costs (enshittification essentially). These two will be the centre of all big business for the coming years.

Bots don't have IDs or credit cards. Everyone, post yours, so I can check if you're real.

As usual, mass propaganda turns the world black and white, and divides people exactly into two groups to make sure they never unite.

By the way, you can acknowledge that both sides are made up of the worst scum human history has ever seen and vote for the "lesser evil" at the same time! You don't have to, and you probably shouldn't let your vote influence your entire personality and/or belief system.

You could say smoking is one of the most human activities ever. Does nothing but actively harm and potentially kill everything around you. Just what we're the best at.

But seriously now. Can we speed up smoking bans? Like, everywhere?

Same thing for most of billionaires' income sources.

"Respecting [insert human right] would kill [insert industry]."

Are you a teenager?

I dropped it half way through on how boring it was..

Calls someone a teenager, then proceeds to give the most teenager reason for dropping a book.

We are filthy criminals if we pirate one textbook for studies. But when Facebook (Meta) pirates millions of books (anywhere between 30 million and 200 million ebooks, depending on their file size), they are a brilliant and successful business.

What's the .ml thing about? I've read something, but don't understand the situation completely.

This comment section shows that even on decentralized, less mainstream platforms there's a lot of people behaving similarly to what would be called bots on Reddit. Come on, guys, we can do better than this.

We can acknowledge Joe Biden's crimes and failures without cheering his sickness and wishing him a painful death. Same with Donald Trump and all the other scummy politicians.

We can also disagree about various policies, issues or parties while treating each other with respect and an open mind, instead of degrading all discussion to 'communism vs capitalism' or 'democracy vs fascism' arguments.

I know it can be difficult to remain civil towards government officials who are essentially criminals, and anyone who supports or seems to support them in any capacity. However, I personally think we should try.

However, the company said it had found no evidence to date that its Azure platform and AI technologies were used to target or harm people in the Gaza Strip.

I'm sure it's technically true. Can't find evidence if you're not looking for it. Or if you're actively sabotaging any such efforts. Or if you've deliberately created a framework that makes it easy and likely for any 'evidence' to disappear.
