Idk the Republicans seem to really want fascism.

I don't think that argument makes a lot of sense. If sexual deviance was seen as a primary definition for strength then gay people would be seen as a strong group to be emulated. It seems far more likely that it's simple in groups vs out groups and the traditional rules for thee but not for me playing out. And certain kinds of sexual deviance is an easy way to define an out group.

Along perhaps with projection based on priests continually being proven to be the exact sort of homosexual groomer pedophiles they claim to be most afraid of. Something like "if our 'influencers' are this bad, the other sides influencers must be worse".

Do we have a original textualist group in Wisconsin? Otherwise I have trouble thinking a governor would expect this to actually fly. Is this a contrived case to get this potential loophole to court to close it? Or am I too optimistic about governer thought processes?

I don't know how important this is to users of Vivaldi, and I don't know how good Vivaldi can make their blocker by middle of next year, but this may force me to Firefox. Or maybe someone makes a local proxy like in the old days to do ad blocking Idk.

The apps are super slow though. Like I don't need a 5 second animation of bouncing fries every time I do anything. Dunkin is another offender.

I think it's more the cloud being the issue here. Such an obvious and large and valuable target. Of course Microsoft also isn't that secure historically.

Probably just so you don't accidentally waste time unknowingly rereading a book.

If youtu.be premium is actually ad free (and I can still run sponsor block) I can see paying for it. I get a lot of value out of it and can't really justify doing a lot of work to avoid paying.

I have always felt that kids will get out of education what they put in/their interest in actually learning. I also think there is some benefits to learning how to manage technology de jure as it's likely to come up when they're out of high school too.

I kind of disagree with some of the points about learning more just talking to an AI, both because I tend to get wrong answers or important missed context in my AI testing, but also because I think I needed to learn some stuff I wasn't interested in personally.

Today I don't really have much opportunity to interact with classes beyond the great courses and linked in learning, and unfortunately much of the newer content is more like a YouTube curated Playlist than a traditional course. They are mostly superficial overviews more intended for entertainment than learning details.

YouTube on the other hand is all over the map and you have to know what to search for.

I think some value of the experiment is the part where it got the kids to review their notification settings to suppress things they weren't interested in. Personally I think having phones in airplane mode / off during class is probably the best plan. Do the notifications during study hall, lunch, bus ride, and other free time.

My sister did that but only netted 30k more not 3x. Still well worth it imo. Of course it's kinda amazing that more companies aren't taking this "cheat code" to get cream of the crop "minor league" non major center talent for the discount of amazing wages out in the hinterlands that are 40k or more less than big city prices.

Ehh. That's like accident billboards. I maintain that most people don't know they can block ads, and a large part of the masses who have heard of it think it's complicated or too hard for them.

With ad blocking I have a small tension that if I know a sort of thing exists, I presumably will find it when I search for it. So I don't want another vacuum ad.

If I don't know something exists then I have to stumble on it somehow.

The bigger problem would be if they didn't block their own ads. I honestly didn't even know they did ads so my blocking, of which they're a part, apparently is working.

Usenet is hurt a lot by takedown notices unfortunately. So lots of older popular stuff doesn't work. That said, things like Anime or something that isn't given a takedown seem to be on there about forever. The server speed is a benefit for sure.
