Wow. Did someone just voted from the rooftops?.. Does that mean that everything else failed?

> How unexpected was the internal combustion engine! How surprising! What a creative act, to violate the rule that you shouldn't start a fire inside your vehicle!

Great news, everybody! Google has approved the updated XScreenSaver Privacy Policy. I assume that this means that they find it 100% factual and endorse it entirely.

A friend just pointed out:

"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability.  Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."

Let’s do this.

Kessler-Kaspersky Syndrome: It is impossible to access orbit as the newly-launched object will get instantly pwned by swarms of previously infected satellites, now orbital malware platforms.

Like, come on, the devices are sitting next to each other. With a single symmetric cable we could be having secure 5Gb+ connections right away! :blobcathyper:

My, the times are fast now. It's been only a year, and we already have the art style of *vintage* neural images.

Okay Google, who art in cloud,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen 🙏
