They can vote out the city and county leaders then change the zoning to warehouses only.

What they need to do right now is create a Windows emulator for all Xbox games so they can be played on a Windows PC. Then encourage developers to do a re-release, even if it's just an upgrade to textures for 1440 gaming. Then sell those for $20 each. This is the only free lunch in AAA gaming. All the rest are big gambles on big budget games that people generally disliked since 2020 or they're niche games offering little revenue

It's a totalitarian move aimed only at establishing a police state for the average people. It will not affect the criminals or terrorists in the least. They've managed to figure out how to operate without cell phone tracking apparently. Seems the gadgetcops need to figure out how to do real police work again. I'm sure a few guys in their 60s-80s might remember how it was done before the gadgets showed up

Seems like a click bait article. One of those the reporter prompted the AI until it came back with that reply.

X loses money so no margins there. Twitter has never made a profit in its history that I've ever heard of. Facebook's on the way out. 20 years ago it was college age users. 10 years ago it was people over 50. Now it's a lot of commercial accounts posting as they do on other basically dying or dead platforms. The only sign of life is streaming video and chats related to streaming video. YouTube has been losing users and content creators to both Rumble and Twitch. The right 1/3 of America is on Rumble while Twitch took the gamers. Youtube still has business but they basically gave away enough business to make those 2 relevant.

Alphabet's dependent on Youtube, cloud services, web search, and related ads to pay for the unprofitable parts of the business, which appears to be where the bulk of their employees work, rather than at the earnings-generators. If they screw up youtube, then they will have to lay a lot of the people in the fun and interesting jobs off, along with the many layers of bureaucracy and non-coders working in jobs that nobody's quite sure what they do there. They can't really afford to screw up youtube any more than they have. It can't merely do well. It has to do great to pay all of their bills. Very similar to the action-hero movies at the movie studio paying for all the unprofitable ones that most people work on

you keep deleting my comments, so I'll keep downvoting yours

It's relevant. To sum it up, this much smarter-than-average part of the PC user base routinely uses Linux rather than Windows 11. A part of the user base that is far more familiar with relative performance of both on the same hardware.

Anyone familiar with cops in europe knows experiences vary widely. British police have gone on a campaign to arrest people for preaching on sidewalks. German and other european police physically beat people with clubs without much provocation. They were arresting people for talking walks by themselves in the woods in 2020-2022. In Switzerland, they use water cannons to spray protesters when it's below freezing. Small towns in America are pretty laid back for the most part, because there's not much happening to begin with. All of the murder is in the larger cities or a few regions where they have a history of high crime like northern alaska and native american reservations and the areas marijuana is farmed illegally by organized criminals. These are easily avoided.
