Wouldn't this type of content already be "refused classification" thus disallowed to be broadcast?

Oh, I'm well aware of the technical impossibility. I meant legally no one in Australia would be allowed to publish it, so a ban is moot. If it's likely to be RC for a regular broadcaster, it can't be published online, either.

I don't know where you got that idea. The vast majority of people I knew who passed around a copy of Adobe stuff or MS Office, along with a working key or keygen program back in the day, were most definitely not nerds who believed they were hackers.

Pirating Adobe products was common practice for poor uni students, or occasional users that didn't want to pay exorbitant rates to fix an image here and there. Adobe made that much more difficult. Then you have us Australians that have been getting charged well above the US retail price for years; at one point it was cheaper to fly to America and buy a physical copy.

These slop apps will absolutely let people go back to doing that, and get back at Adobe for overcharging, because the open source tools either don't work with the file formats required, or they just don't cut it. I use LibreOffice & GIMP and they're great, I love them. However, I'm not a graphic designer, and tools like Photoshop leave GIMP in the dust for professional work.

Well done on the downvote, and a very mature response. You think you've got a revolution organised before the next elections, do you?

Intrinsic to this sentiment is the classic false dichotomy logical fallacy. Saving yourself and voting for less destructive leaders (who aren't starting new wars, and threatening your allies) are not mutually exclusive acts. So while you're busy saving yourself, you should still be doing what you can to reduce the harm of the current system.

Close, it's "Everything's computer!" You can check the White House Auto Mall commercial.

Placing ads between and beside such content is pretty direct profit. Look at the cat, they get paid for showing you some cat food brand.

Let's not forget that unfortunate Spongebob scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNsWbK4OkZw

I'm listening, but there's a deafening sound of a little lady standing by a swab production line, occasionally giving in to her intrusive thoughts of randomly snatching a swab, licking it, feeling a tiny shiver up her spine, giggling briefly, and putting it back. Her heart fluttering each time she dreamt of her next lick.

It has abysmal support. All the places you'd need it to work without anything special, like link recognition in messaging apps and email clients, it rarely does. Even apps that could make good use of specific locations for inputs often don't register a handler for the scheme. It's been that way for years, and I don't expect it to get a whole lot better.

I think it might be this:

It's a common logic error called a false dichotomy. People do it all the time, and it makes it very difficult to converse with them at all, because they're unable to comprehend that being for or against one thing does not make you against or for some other thing they see as its opposite.

Could probably have measured its resistance, then put a plain resistor in its place.

Don't worry, OP, no one will conflate you for an AI. You didn't hyphenate "dystopian-ass", which is a compound adjective (unless it's meant to be "ass-time", a compound noun).

I made the mistake of creating a Windows VM and believing their minimum required disk space figure of 64GB. It won't upgrade. Asks to attach an external USB drive because it lacks enough space. It hasn't anything added to it, only some bloatware removed. Attempting to upgrade takes hours, fails (despite attaching the extra storage), then restarts the entire download and install process over again. I can only assume it's incapable of caching and verifying downloaded content. There's no offline installer option, like we used to have with service packs. The whole thing is slow as molasses yet it doesn't max out the 8(!) CPUs allocated to it. The host has plenty of spare capacity. It's a steaming pile of shit.

Linux guests run fine.

The entire style is the same generic crap that ChatGPT and others pour out. The significant detail and cutesiness is always indicative for low-stakes events, because it's rare for a human to put in that much effort for something this simple.

He's looking at you like that because he has a PhD, and he just heard you say that unnecessary apostrophe.

At least you can remove all the sidebar crap: right-click > remove from toolbar.

I really didn't need rounded everything, not every tool needs to be Fisher-Priced.
