I get the “you need to see it” vibe. I am a software engineer and a steampunk. It is not the first steaming pile of shit from that platform.
But I don’t think it will be hilariously bad as the Ice Cube adaptation. It will never reach that level of cult status.

Don’t think about it as doing, think about it as leaving before the rush. I hope that was a Terryism.

You don’t say “Which” site. Are we talking “former” or “self referencing”?
I assume by the excessive capitalisation the former.

In an attempt to avoid AI using keyword filters I ended up with search results for software tools to control dildos. F*** bluetooth control API. Later used a setting in the browser to disable AI results.

If Scalzi were to send over one of his old gaming rigs. Charles could create his own virtual fanboy locked away in the airing cupboard dumping waste heat into the header tank while pedantically stating how a character should behave in an imaginary situation.

Editorial enshitification has be going for decades.
I am reminded of a British journalist turned author who saw that his boss was not interested in the truth and became a press officer for the British nuclear power program.
His first public statement was in response to 3 mile island.

If I remember correctly MacOS is a BSD fork. So I can still use Office 365 sans unrequested AI charges. Likewise I believe Playstation is BSD based.
I may consider a GabeCube linux box after RAMageddon.

The productivity apps I need are not available on Linux.
BSD on the other hand supports them.
When I find the energy, I will replace win 10 pro with FreeNAS.
Once the AI bubble bursts and RAMageddon is averted it will be joined by Proxmox, Asterix and Ollama running on Strix Halo.

Same here. Got pissed off with my preferred PC configuration being rewritten. Mic assumes that I want to use a graphics card for audio when I have a dedicated chipset that will upsample PCM audio from a Sonos to dolby digital. (Jeff Wayne’s Horsell Common and the heat ray is more disturbing in 5.1)

I lost support for the columnists when they coined a belittling man-something term for listening to and supporting a man who has the emotional maturity to be open about his feelings.

I might be dubious about the ‘Tabloid feminism’ of that publication. They really aren’t supportive of men suffering from the effects of toxic masculinity. Their efforts to make profit for their male directorship with wedge narratives is probably the cause of loneliness for both genders.

My only criticism of that channel is that it is Lo-Fi boy that’s the video gamer.
