Tue 01:14:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It will require all developers to get a Google account and sign their apps even if they're outside of the Google Play store.
Tue 01:14:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I got an alert from Newpipe saying that it will just stop working after that.
Tue 01:14:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because they won't sign the agreement.

Tue 01:21:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I was considering earlier how much I preferred the 90s for so many reasons.
Tue 01:21:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ One was going to the actual video store to see what was new.
Tue 01:22:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And asking the person at the counter to recommend something.
Tue 01:22:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the 90s may well have been when humanity peaked
Tue 01:22:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And just playing it in a VCR instead of dealing with all this weird DRM shit called streaming.
Tue 01:22:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You could only watch so many movies and each one cost like $2 to rent for the night.
Tue 01:23:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ vs. like hundreds to stream, every month.
Tue 01:23:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You got a couple movies on Friday, returned them Saturday, you spend like $4. Run them off to a blank tape really quick if you liked one.
Tue 01:24:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sometimes you could do three day rentals or buy a used rental copy if they moves from the new releases wall.
Tue 01:25:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Most physical formats let you watch something effectively unlimited times.
Tue 01:25:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Lots of tapes made in the 80s and 90s still work. Probably a higher percentage than DVDs.
Tue 01:25:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The oldest DVDs are now 30 years old and basically about one in four that I'm encountering that are nearly 30 years old don't play or get halfway through and freeze the player.

Tue 01:35:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Of course they'll respond to the debt binge with a wave of bankruptcy and layoffs.
Tue 01:35:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's already happening but they're saying it's because "AI" is good at replacing workers.
Tue 01:35:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They have to say something while the management sells stock.

Wed 22:51:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "AI, Crypto Suffer Surprise Defeats in Illinois Primary Fights"
Wed 22:51:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Democratic voters in Illinois this week rejected most candidates supported by the crypto and artificial intelligence industries, marking an unexpected defeat for well-funded special interest groups as they prepare to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to shape Congress in this year’s midterm elections."
Wed 22:53:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "AI and crypto, relatively new industries with ambitious anti-regulation agendas, are courting a new generation of moderate, tech-friendly Democrats in a cycle where President Donald Trump’s own party is facing strong headwinds. In deep-blue states like Illinois, that meant investing heavily in fiercely fought primaries. In the end, only one candidate favored by both industries, Melissa Bean in Illinois’s eighth district, won.
Wed 22:53:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The two industries spent over $18 million in the past month on the Illinois Senate race as well as three key congressional districts, running generic ads under vague-sounding names in order to boost their favored candidates.
Wed 22:53:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The string of losses cuts against the narrative that crypto and AI can handily buy races across the country with their massive war chests.
Wed 22:53:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ “What tonight shows more than anything is that the idea of crypto-backed spending as an all-powerful force was probably overstated,” said Justin Heath, a consultant with progressive firm Orange Hat Innovation.
Wed 22:53:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The crypto-focused PAC Fairshake spent more than $10 million attacking Illinois’s Senate primary winner Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton and $2.5 million against State Representative La Shawn Ford in the seventh congressional district. But both candidates won, marking some of the first major defeats of the industry since it began spending in the 2024 cycle."

Wed 23:38:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But if it's a politician, it's a felony and a misdemeanor.
Wed 23:38:45 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ strange how it isn't felony+misdemeanor to do so to a non-politician billionaire
