It’s been 2667 days since Musk promised fully autonomous cross country trips: https://elonmusk.today/#autonomous-cross-country-trip

And 2954 days since he promised cross country summons: https://elonmusk.today/#cross-country-summons

I can’t speak from the British Commonwealth perspective, but from a Swedish perspective my opinion is this regarding having a monarch:

Yeah, it might not reflect our modern values well, but since the (Swedish) monarch is mostly ceremonial and completely unpolitical, there’s actually quite little to hate about it. They’re just the mascot of the country. There’s far more pressing issues in our country than having that confused old guy as head of state.

At least he doesn’t possess nuclear launch codes.

Hopefully they won’t come up with some kind of a Rust/CLI, a version of Rust with GC support.

That’s what I have been told and that’s why I have been avoiding creating an account

For me I hated Quora because of how locked down it is. Want to view another question on the site? Must register an account first! No fucking thanks. It was always nagging about creating an account.

Because of this I actively ignored Quora results anytime I googled something.

Put Vegemite on my toast for the first time today, and I can confirm it’s weird - the rest of the world

My guess to why the ads are so different:

The firms making the ads are probably completely separate from the developers. Could be just random people from fiverr making the ads. They get barely any gameplay footage, so they just come up with some random gameplay that looks fun in an ad.

I guess the game developers might be some random people from fiverr as well.

As to why it works: no idea. I guess some people just don’t care, and given how cheap these games are to make they probably just need a few people to break even.

And if I happen to click on those videos only to confirm it’s not for me they will be like “omg, he’s crazy about this video! Let’s recommend 10 different variations of this video from now on!”

Sometimes it keeps recommending me the same videos even if have no intention of ever watching them.
