When the early adopters start pushing neural implants they'll be ad-free. Not long after your boss insists that everybody needs neural implants for the sake of productivity, they'll be ad-supported but moneyed developers will be able to opt out. The terms of the ad-free service will continue shifting, so nothing is ever really ad-free for long, and ads for better neural implants are promotions not ads right? But y'al…

I think this was the plot of a Black Mirror episode?

Futurama too (The Eye-Phone, or something).

It's the plot of many a dystopian scifi story.

On one hand, I hate how much of a hype-driven commercial product Laravel is, and how many novice developers learn bad practices from its awful architecture. On the other hand, this "problem" only affects vibe coders who weren't writing any code themselves anyway, so I say let them suffer.

>hype-driven commercial product

>single-handedly keeping PHP relevant

While architecture astronauts are clutching pearls, I've built multiple profitable products with Laravel without caring the slighest about the internals, both before and after AI.

PHP was always all about just building stuff while ignoring code quality. Laravel is a natural extension of that approach. Let us live.

Correct, but they stylized it as "eyePhone" (from MomCorp, the all powerful, caring conglomerate), and that episode is the origin of the famous "Shut up and take my money!" meme.

My washing machine's app (LG) has ads, recipes, rewards programs, etc. I think the main thing preventing it on the device itself is they haven't thus far needed a large screen to show them on.

Recipes? For washing clothes?

Yes. LG has a wide line of appliances, so the app has a recipes section.

Neuralink and OpenAI were started months apart in the same tiny building. Draw your own conclusions.

Except this hasn't happened with electricity, cars, washing machines, smartphones, smart watches, Bluetooth headphones, ... Not all technology is bad

My LG dryer was using wifi to advertise an extended warranty for itself.

Then it broke, maybe I should have bought the warranty?

I bought a simpler model without wifi this time.

We need ublock origin EVERYWHERE. I actually wrote this before on reddit, before I eventually left reddit due to the censorship. KDE changed a lot and Nate asked for donations via a daemon. I pointed out that we now need to undo pester-ads added by KDE developers. Lo and behold, I was cancelled on #kde reddit. I still think we need something like ublock origin but for EVERYTHING, not just the browser. ublock origin i…

I agree with you about the KDE ads. I also complained about it on Reddit and was downvoted for it. There are way more appropriate ways to communicate this information that isn't a desktop notification.

What are you talking about, in what way is this supposed to be an argument about ads? It sounds like your dryer broke
