Because business majors decided a search engines primary job was actually to serve you ads rather than to help you search for things

I really liked the one that said they had resolved late game lag caused by Greek characters constantly evaluating whether or not to castrate everyone

Not to be a pedant but I would like it if more than 1/10 of Project 2025 got shut down

I wouldn’t dismiss this just yet. Mozilla has already been doing some open source AI work, specifically their speech offerings. If they invest in these and they get better I think we all stand to gain from having good text to speech and speech recognition available outside of Apple/Amazon/Microsoft/Google

“My white friends and I used a racist term for each other that implicitly compares their cars to Asian ones perjoratively” is not necessarily the win you think it is.

When I was in seventh grade a classmate offered me a pull off a cigarette which I took. He then told me I had N***** lipped it. Does that magically become not racist as shit because we were both white and he used it to make fun of me?

Its a term invented to make fun of specifically Asian men customizing their cars. The implicit connotation is “your car is bad because it is customized for looks and not racing, like an Asian person would.” It shares the same roots as incels calling Asian incels ricecels.

Personally I’d rather they banned the real ones and left the toys

Oh no, you got me. I solo wrote the Wikipedia page describing the origins of the term and its racist roots and all the citations linked from there, especially the ones written before I was born. I’m also personally sock puppetting the dozen or so accounts telling you you’re wrong.

Or, and I know this will be a big stretch, you could change your wordview a single iota in response to new information and put forth the negligible effort to not use it anymore.

Once watched a non-technical manager destroy two flexible OLED prototypes in a row. At the time they were combined worth more than my yearly income.
