The article says they're supposed to be an alternative to fully robotic devices, with lower power consumption since their movement is... bug-powered I guess, but I am really curious what kind of fine control you can have on a cockroach.

I mean, today a lot of people are anti-genAi just because they had enough of it making everything worse (including technology), while also being an environmental disaster, and yet there are always assholes to accuse them of being "anti-technology".

To be fair some real flowers look very weird, but those fake ones look like muppets.

I hope one day we can look back and say "that's crazy, back then it was worth it organizing a heist just for a little RAM" like we do with those silly DVD players.

I would appreciate gen AI being even better at killing itself.

That data says about half the user base is not what you say it is.

Largest share 25-34, 18-24 in very close third place, making 18-34 about 42%. Also, general usage still expected to grow (somehow), so it's not just old people staying there forever.

34 in 2025 is millenial but not even older millenial.

Not in the US, but I'd go even further and ban any ad mimicking an "alerting" kind of sound, especially starting with it.

Alarms, ringtones, even loud door knocking. Even worse, traffic sounds with car horns (rare, but some still do this shit somehow). I can't believe some of the ads I get are still legal, deliberately stressing you to get your attention shouldn't be.

Is there a scenario in which they both lose? I'll take that.

I'm not in the US. Polymarket is actually banned in my country.

Oh please, by all means do your "prediction market" and integrate it with every one of your applications.

Can't wait to see those identified as unregulated gambling and banned.

In the end conservatism is only appealing to those in power. And people with power work every day to ensure everyone else has none.

What makes firefox's backend better? I've been considering switching from it lately.
