    It shouldn't be "arrows" anyway, this is a list.

    The first company to give me an A.I. in A.R. in the shape of bunny-girl cassette girl wins.

    Stay clear of the tentacles, ladies. Especially if you're wearing a sailor uniform.

    Have you just woken from a coma out of the 19th century?

    I'm actually from the 27th century, but whatever...

    Games of skill played for cash prizes are a surprise to you?

    What the fuck is "cash"?

    There's something you can do about it. It's very easy, but you won't like it.

    Make every component in triplicate. Everything in the CPU, everything in the RAM, everything in storage, etc. If the three aren't equal, go with the value shared by two of them and rewrite the different one with that value.

  11. Dogecoin has been "relatively stable" for about a year.

    That link never worked for me, I get redirected a few times until I get a "failed to open page".

    Besides, when it was working, they kept adding shit automatically that I had to remove.

  21. It's all wasted time and money for almost everyone on YouTube Will Kill Unskippable 30-Second Ads Next Year (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They spy on our browsing habits. They spy on our communications. They're forcing us to watch things most of us don't care about and waste our time and bandwidth in the process.

    All of this, on platforms where we can communicate directly with them and give them feedback on what we actually want and like.

    First, give us the option to watch the ads if we want to. That's your first easy-to-get metric. Are people interesting in whatever you're advertising? Second, after the ad, give us options to give our opinion about the product. They have to be clear options that enable us to express our like or dislike about the product, not simple politically-correct bullshit replies.

    Trying to force-feed me a 30-seconds ad about a non-vegan meal is offensive to me. Showing me ads for quadcopters is pointless because I have zero interest in these things. Trying to sell me a Mazda CX-5 is useless because I don't have they money, the need or the desire to buy one. Hell I have zero interest in purchasing a SUV, ever. All those ads about commercial-grade networking hardware fall on deaf ears because I'm not in charge of anything even remotely close nor do I work with someone who is.

    Instead of letting us build a profile of our own, they try to guess what we want and then complain that "ads are not working".

    Idiots.

    Our job is to get shit done. Reading lengthy, multi-page ToS that only lawyers can understand is not productive.

    Even if we were to understand all details, trying to explain why you need to find another solution to our bosses would be met by "install it anyway".
