Oh, they do have psychological manipulation in mind.
There are 2 leading design types:
No clocks anywhere, designed to be difficult to navigate out of, designed to make the passage of time difficult to tell.
And open and bright with easy lines of sight, designed to allow gamblers to relax without leaving.

The former was developed by an ex-gambler that "turned their life around" into an architect that manipulates gamblers to gamble more. He studied the successful casinos, and gathered up all the techniques that makes gamblers gamble more.
The open layout was developed in response to this, and solely concentrates on making gamblers feel relaxed (or able to relax).

But lighting, layout, smells, sounds... Everything is accounted for.
Casino owners know the design of their casino is what makes gamblers gamble more

That's the fun part about windows: who the fuck knows?
Can't look at the source, can't confirm if it's bad API implementation or bad documentation.

1. Sweat.
2. Blood.
3. Saliva.
4. Urine.
5. Semen.
6. Vaginal discharge (is there a better name for this?).
7. ... Tears? Or is it diarrhea?

The only way I can understand the mental gymnastics is that the right manipulated the "I don't understand that persons job, I work harder than they do, I don't like my boss" sentiments, so everyone felt that they were safe but that the people they don't like would get sacked.

AI is hype.
They've recently signed a deal with Reddit for AI parsable data. Reddit reciprocated by allowing Google to be the only indexable search engine.
Google now thinks it can do the same to literally everyone else.
Googling is pretty damn mainstream.
Don't give Google your data, then don't be included in googles search results. It's like a flip of their previous trade with reddit, except it's not a trade. It's extortion.

Reddit never gave Google traffic. They gave them content and data.
And Google thinks it can withdraw traffic from other sites unless they get data in return.
Google is a monopoly.
Literally extortion

Starting with a pool of all users who use alternative DNS for any reason, users of pirate sites – especially sites broadcasting the matches in question – were isolated from the rest. Users of both VPNs and third-party DNS were further excluded from the group since DNS blocking is ineffective against VPNs.

Proust found that the number of users likely to be affected by DNS blocking at Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco, amounts to 0.084% of the total population of French Internet users. Citing a recent survey, which found that only 2% of those who face blocks simply give up and don’t find other means of circumvention, he reached an interesting conclusion.

“2% of 0.084% is 0.00168% of Internet users! In absolute terms, that would represent a small group of around 800 people across France!”

I wonder how much the court case cost, and if those costs are in anyway likely to be recouped even if all 800 of those convert to a subscription.

Changing ports does nothing except reduced log chatter.

Like, plug it in for 5 minutes to get gigabit speed and download 35gb of data.

Amelia Tyler did an awesome job on the BG3 narration.
I can't wait to see what she will work on next.

TBH, the VA in BG3 has been exceptional overall. I don't think I've encountered anything that hasn't hooked/sold me on the part!
