Ugh, more telemetry.

There’s an obvious PR component here, it’s not a mere coincidence when anything becomes an all-platforms hot topic.
I have no cell phone (never have), and use an ancient Thinkpad.
It’s pretty clear to others. Chrome is supposed to be The Web in the same way that Google is search.

Why is this being pushed everywhere now? Popular press, Hacker News, Reddit. Even 4chan. It reminds me of how other stories get a lot of traction, from the lab-grown meat to walkable cities. Who could be behind this? I wonder…

EDIT: Downvoting me won’t stop me from sniffing you propagandists out. I’m on to you…

Yeah, be SUPER careful, the Wifi snooper vans are always out… looking for violations. You could be sent to Siberia for this. /s

I never heard of it before.

With Linux growing ever more bloated and ever less Unixy, OpenBSD is more important to many people these days.

I wish I could read the article but it’s a frustrating example of modern web design.

Huggingface having some check box to tick before I download hasn’t stopped me yet.

Those aren’t legal in my country.
I’m a doctor professor, sounds better than engineer.
Anybody can say whatever, even yelling fire in a crowded theater, but that still doesn’t make them a real engineer.
Note the author is talking about code monkies, not licensed and bonded professional engineers, or trains men.

T520 but, agreed.
Turns out I’m just not motivated enough to even bother spending $1 or 1 minute to watch their garbage.
I’m just sticking to a high daily D dose. It’s cheap, there is no risk, and it seems to bother the medical press and tabloid science journalist alike.
Maybe it’s because I use OpenBSD, or something, but I’ve never once gotten Prime Video to work. Every year or so I try it, it doesn’t work, then I remember most shows and movies are garbage and forget streaming video even exists for another year.
