Yes, that’s it. People born in the early part of last century (my grandparent’s era) only knew over-the-air TV which in the US included commercials. It was just part of reality, like billboards by the highway.
The Flash briefly appears in [the alternate universe story] Kingdom Come when the book is establishing its world’s status quo. Described as living “between the ticks of a second,” the Scarlet Speedster has turned his home of Keystone City into a crime-free paradise. He’d pushed himself so hard and gotten so fast that he was effectively omnipresent and could easily stop any disturbance before it began. However, in the process, Wally West had stopped slowing down to do human things like talk to people or sleep.

As you may know, ChatGPT collects a lot of data on the users for the improvement of their AI, but this poses risks in its own way. I was wondering whether there are privacy alternatives to ChatGPT. Perhaps on F-Droid or Aurora/PlayStore, or for Linux....
[Grandpa Simpsons voice] Back in my day, we used to say “pr0n” instead of “porn” to avoid keyword spotters, and saying it that way just got to be a habit. Nowadays e.g. twitch comments auto-mods have block lists. I think kids just do the same thing.
What’s funny is when you’re watching something like an AI summary of a movie on youtube, it’ll use euphemisms like “self-delete” instead of “suicide” and “naughty place” instead of “brothel” to avoid the algorithm penalties you mention.
I recognize the Sonic cosplayer, the furry, the brony, the Naruto cosplayer and the Pokemon fan, but what does the person in a green shirt (second from left) represent?
I use GrapheneOS ony phone and a Mac with the security options as optimized as possible. For most of my emailing etc, I use Tuta and Proton. There are instances however, where having a Google account is beneficial (some apps for example won’t download from Aurora store in anonymous mode)....
I created a google account last month, using a new chromebook hooked up to wifi. It let me create the account without a phone number, let me install software etc. Then when I rebooted, it demanded a phone number because of “suspicious traffic”. (wtf?)
Wondering if perhaps a prepaid sim card paid for using a prepaid credit card would do the trick?
I paid cash for a dirt-cheap fliphone and a prepaid Tracfone card to set up an account with SMS but near-zero data, just for these purposes. It worked for me for google last month, but YMMV.
Yeah, but I still post links to Bandcamp, even though they’ve gone down that path. One day they’ll cross the line, and I’ll start posting links to other services.
I don’t speak okmatewanker, but I understand a bit. The camera owner is a bicyclist. While on the road, they were passed by the car driver. At a stop sign, the bicyclist objects to the car driver that they “passed way too close” and the car driver says the bicyclist should not be taking up too much of the lane. The rest is history.
