Don’t give them any ideas for trying to make persistent ads in those too. Monopoly would ironically be the first.

The engineers behind these things need to be heavily blacklisted. “Oh yeah, Justin. He was one of the software engineers behind the garbage truck cameras. Toss his resume in the trash. Erica worked for Flock, toss hers too.”
Employers are already doing this, but I’d love to see it become more prevalent.

Thankfully Tim Sweeney kept it off of Linux due to cheating concerns.

Do they have that one cool game where you play as a 15-year-old child trying to escape Epstein Island, or the other one where you mindlessly black out hundreds of thousands of lines of text while ironically mumbling “fidelity, bravery, integrity” to yourself over and over?

on One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives in c/technology@lemmy.world · 23 Aug 2026
Lane assist that pulls you into a pothole you moved over to dodge and loses its collective shit if the lines change.
Collision detection that flips out and hits the brakes to avoid a car that just completed its turn.
Blind spot monitoring that screams at you in a turn lane.

I’m an EE at a major electronics developer and manufacturer. My company’s IT encourages Linux use and even gives us the option to decide what distribution to install, though RHEL is the only one they “officially” provide tech support for. I’ve been running Debian as my daily driver for several years.
I’m rambling and completely missed the point of your comment. I’m just happy we have that option and wish they supported it everywhere.
NWS probably has their hands tied. AccuWeather on the other hand is run by bootlickers. They’re deep enough in that sphere that Trump tried to put the CEO in as the head of NOAA during his first term. They’ve tried unsuccessfully lobbying to restrict NWS’s free forecasting (the one we all pay for) because it was interfering with their business model. I’ll leave the sexual harassment problems as an exercise for the reader. These are shitheads who were shitheads long before this. Don’t use that service.
