"No one knows why" - Ads on the start menu - Bloated and poorer performance than Linux - Unwanted AI buttons in notepad, paint - Spies on you and gathers as much data as possible - Requires new hardware that is hard to buy due to ongoing inflation of consumer electronics due to "AI Bubble"

They should have stuck another £100 on the Series X and kept the Series S affordable.

Valid complaints about power levels and development strain be damned, the Xbox Series S was the best value in console gaming. That experiment has now utterly failed: https://www.respec.net/feature/135-the-xbox-series-s-was-best-value-in-consogaming-that-experiment-has-now-utterly-failed

Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

Small town terrorized by shark. Media starts giving a lot of airtime to the shark, allowing the shark to explain the logic behind its attacks. Shark becomes popular, and successfully runs for mayor on a platform of "sticking it to the woke anti-shark elite".

let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?

Yo, where are all my respectable bigots & impoverishers of the poor at so I can have a chummy intellectual chinwag in the marketplace of ideas about how to monster the vulnerable but politely?

I've started collecting the weirdos sad about Rod Liddle dying like a massive dork, let me know if you spot any 🫡

Wondering if I should grab a PS4 before the prices start going back up.

I have never seen a social platform so united as on the death of Rod Liddle. Right across the spectrum on here. Not even the standard self-righteous micro-bollockings in the replies. Imagine what kind of cunt you have to be to stem the high-handed whining on BLUESKY. Remarkable.

Also worth remembering that Rod Liddle’s response to the death of Nelson Mandela was to rage at BBC coverage and sneer: “Famous nice black man dies!”

This is basically the Northern Boys.

rip 😔

Boy the protecting women and girls crowd sure have nice things to say about the pregnant woman-beating man who said he would rape schoolchildren.

Review doesn't mention Helen or Lupita (as far as I can see) - the BBC absolutely know what they're doing here and it stinks

Wrestling is fantastic, because you can find a photo like this and in all honesty you can say, "yes, this depicts two men who both had trade meetings with Fidel Castro against the wishes of their governments".

Worth posting in context as it is bang on topic.

Can't believe they made a human centipede game

On the Goodall COVID thing, whenever The News Agents say anything, I check what the Tony Blair Institute has been peddling recently—as all three of them have benefited from Blair's cash at one time or another. Interestingly, the TBI is currently pushing the transformative use of AI for healthcare 🙃

Governments must rethink risk to close health gaps with AI

If AI is to help bridge health-system capacity gaps, governments need to change how they think about risk.

study finds that 97% of people who took paracetamol for a headache had a headache

Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.

When I got RROD'd, before sending it off for repair, I went out and got a new 360 Core for £160, swapped my hard drive onto it, then sold the repaired RROD one for £100. Can you imagine the round trip on doing that with a Series X now

Since we're relitigating pandemic discourse. If you hadn't already clocked Starmer was an old school reactionary parachuted in to front the Labour right swindle to crush the left, his pathetic support of *Boris Johnson* & his deadly handling of the pandemic response was an obv & early give away
