You have 20 years after buying them to set up a local supply chain.

I remember the 2010 Olympics were aired on pre-enshittified Youtube (in a few countries). You could click on icons to go to a live stream of different events, zero ads, no cutting to studio announcers (stayed on the fields), zero fuss. It was glorious.

I feel like living in a country advertisers don't care about makes your digital life better. For example the NBA league pass is very cheap in my country, all teams. For an amount I'd be glad to pay per month, I can watch all games for all teams on demand, without blackouts. And during game breaks we either watch the stadium feed, an animated NBA logo, or highlights and countdowns of other games.

Is the fact that is a mistake a comfort to the kids' parents, siblings, or friends? Are they somehow less dead?

Sucks for you, but you can't then turn around and expect someone else to invest these for you when they don't want to.

I of course expect my lawyer and doctor to thoughtfully apply their knowledge to help me. Why should they be any different?

Is all this nonsense being pushed everywhere now because everyone's eyes are on the war?

It’s being pushed all the time

Why would using Google maps cause brain damage?

Apparently not stopping every five minutes to look at a paper map causes brain damage now.

I assume it’s some extreme take based on the speculation that outsourcing thinking to LLMs makes people dumber.

Maybe that cost is meaningless for GP (right or not).

(Yes, I see your /s, just adding to your comment)

It's weird that supposedly clever people cannot see beyond "this number goes down/up now" to "this is not immediately beneficial, but it keeps our company healthier in the long run".

It does. If you paste (to slack, email, whatever) after taking a screenshot on Gnome, you will attach your screenshot. It is also saved on ~/Pictures/Screenshots.

That's the beauty of it, it just works.
