I guess I’ll let people know I have a Patreon in case anybody feels like contributing to it. I never liked people asking for donations, so I’m not... but if anybody feels they would like to help support my work on Elucubratus etc, this is available for you https://t.co/kCmyj8BOZM
@shebringsjoy You should make it turn on at a time when you always want it to stop, otherwise if you forget to turn it on she will have it off until midnight
@Cryptavocato@ChrisPacia Whoever forced the horrible thing would be killing https://t.co/qBCOUdNGrk or blue button pushers are picking “maybe I live and maybe keep this evil org from killing a bunch of people, or maybe I die” and “I live” - neither choice results in the button pusher being culpable.
@Queeneth01olx You didn’t learn to not run a loud generator at midnight after the second or third time? Perhaps she was exasperated from constantly having to ask you that then annoyed when you complained about noise in the middle of the day instead of at midnight like she had to do? 🤷
@PNW_working_mom I don’t understand why this is radical, this is just normal… except for the tipping at bus your own table places, why would you tip there?
This is what's happening to YouTube. This is one of my most popular videos. It's how to fix a UEFI bootloader. As you can see the traffic has been cut in half over the last 6 months.
But if you Google how to fix a UEFI bootloader, Gemini will give you my exact step by step process. Even the commands it cites are copied directly from my video.
I got no royalty payments and don't even get a link to the original video. I simply lost the traffic and Google is able to provide more value from stolen content.
AI is going to destroy the content industry on the internet and when it's gone, there will be nothing left to train the AI. Since AI can't come up with anything original it relies on stolen content and it can't steal what doesn't exist if it puts creators out of business.
Crazy story out of Qatar:
A British couple honeymooned in Doha, where the wife was harassed at the Ritz-Carlton pool by two men who told her she'd "fall in love" after he slept with her.
The hotel gaslit her, with management denying the CCTV backed her story despite their own WhatsApp messages saying the opposite.
Her husband posted a TripAdvisor review calling the hotel "unsafe for women." The hotel got it pulled, then a hotel employee filed a defamation complaint against him under Qatar's cybercrime laws.
Nearly a year later, when he returned to Qatar for work, he was detained, informed he'd been tried in absentia and fined, and then held for four nights in a deportation centre. The deportation order lasts five years, which severely hurts his career as a Middle East healthcare consultant.
In other words, Marriott International, an American company, used Qatari law to silence a complaint about a woman being sexually harassed at their property.
