GDPR is a start, but we need to actually ban it, not just annoy people until they click Accept at the 20th popup of that tantalising offer to share your details with 1473 trusted data partners.

And all the CIA ones.

And then block all cookies and tracking.

Still rocking an i5-8400 and a 1060. It's fine for FFXIV and most other games.

Until GPU prices come down, the CPU is the least of my worries. I'll play anything that needs decent hardware on my PS5.

If you're not running the latest games it really doesn't matter at all.

My wife's family used to mop the walls as part of cleaning.

It wasn't until she moved out that she twigged that non-smokers don't have to do that.

We'd all put on our scruffiest clothes before visiting my granddad, because they'd be going straight into the washing machine the second we got back. No wonder he kept giving us money, he probably thought we were poor as dirt.

If this carries on, we'll have exploding semaphore flags by the end of the week.

Yeah, tone it down you Baby Murdering, Paedophillic, Freedom Haters!

Otherwise who knows what our followers will be driven to do when we insinuate they should?

AI + Ads = AIDS.

Just say no, kids.

He's white. They done fucked up now.

The problem with money being involved is it's an invitation to spam crap everywhere.

One of my relatives has recently taken up "AI travel videos" and "AI cute videos" as a "hobby". No doubt based on the first thing that came up when I searched for those things, a video titled "make $10,000 a month spamming up YouTube with your AI slop".

Oh, and it needs you to buy the AI slop generating tools that they happen to sell. How convenient!

I mean, this also happened with broadcast TV, where we suddenly went from like 4 channels filled with programs and things competing for space, to 200 channels, where the rush was on to fill the gaps between the adverts as cheaply as possible with reality show tat. And that's all YouTube is now.

I agree, but it's still a step up from dropping a laser guided bomb on a 10 storey apartment building because somebody in Hamas might be there.

Depending on his wife's level of patience, I give this guy at most two years before he gets divorce papers in the post.
