Wasn’t 64 bit adoption largely driven by Microsoft deciding they weren’t making a 32 bit version of their next Windows at one point? It seems it might take something similar.

Christmas lights often have a female plug on the end so you can chain another string to them. They also aren’t designed to care which end the electricity is coming from.
Now if someone has strung up all their lights, except…oops, they got it backwards, the female end is where the male end should be, and the male end is hanging off the corner of the 2nd story roof, they might be tempted to just use a male to male cord to hook it up instead of having to pull down the entire thing and redo it the other way around.
Haha. Yes I did. Though if it would help, I also wouldn’t object to reversing the polarity of the neutron flow. 😁
Probably the most painless, foolproof method would be an explosive, just strong enough to turn the entire head into a fine mist, placed right at the base of the neck. The explosion propagates faster than neutron activation can happen, so by the time it would be possible to feel anything, the brain no longer exists.
If someone makes it so I can stream all the shows and all the movies and such in one convenient place, without having to find them myself, hunt down the right versions, etc, I’m good with paying them for that.
It’d be better if it was from a legal service, but as long as exclusives are allowed that can’t happen. If the owners of the content were required to allow anyone who wants to distribute it to do so, at the same cost with no special deals for one distributor over another, then every streaming service could have everything, if they choose. They could then compete on quality of service and which content they choose to have, not on what content they can lock down for themselves alone.
Well, there’s another change that made it more viable - back then people had spare batteries cause they needed them. Now most devices will last a full day of normal use, so the ‘average user’ doesn’t care much about swapping batteries.
My gripe was physical keyboards. Until they basically disappeared entirely, I tried to buy exclusively devices with physical keyboards. I liked my T-Mobile Sidekick except it could stand to be thinner.
People fighting AI are fighting to keep this broken system. AI has the potential to, over the course of this coming century, eliminate all human labor.
Our objective shouldn’t be to fight that, but to ensure that as it happens, humans are taken care of and the benefits of this propagate to us all, because those who are trying to hoard the benefits to themselves are happy to see people fighting to ‘limit’ the use of AI or to ‘save jobs’ because it means those people are not fighting them.
Incest porn that was actually labeled as such was pretty common about 15 years ago. By which I mean pretend incest, the performers were not really related but were pretending to be.
But there was some case where a woman was posting porn of herself and her son that got really well known. After that, I’m not sure whether because of some new legislation or because of just covering asses, they started calling it step-incest instead of pretending it was real.
In my totally anecdotal experience, incest was getting pretty popular before that time, then it dropped off for a while, and is now picking up steam again. I’m even starting to see slightly more stuff that pretends to be real incest again instead of the stupid step-incest.
It would be nice if it was easier to filter out what you don’t like though.
