  • I’m not so sure about that. Windows despite its ads is still generally usable or at least readable, but adblockers affect almost every website, and in a much more extreme way, without which renders some websites virtually unusable. As someone else said, installing another browser is also far easier than taking backups, installing an entirely new OS, implementing your backups, and learning an entire new OS which may not readily support the software you have licensed from windows for most users.

    Users care a lot about convenience. I expect that they weigh installing and learning linux etc as less convenient than the ads in windows which is why they would not switch, but I expect when it comes to this case, they would weigh installing a different browser with adblock as much more convenient than using the internet with ads on every single website.









  • In effect, Air Canada suggests the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions.

    The airline also argued that the chatbot’s response to Moffatt’s inquiry included a link to a section of its website that outlined the company’s policy and said that requests for a discounted fare are not allowed after someone has travelled.

    So what Air Canada is saying is “If the bot says you’re supposed to get this deal, we aren’t liable, but if the same bot also says you aren’t supposed to get this deal contradicting itself in the same breath, then that should be upheld in court to benefit us”.

    Sorry lol, you don’t get to have it both ways.



  • This is our government in a nutshell. Don’t like guns? Ban them from licensed owners instead of working against smuggling or changing the license requirement from a PAL to an RPAL. Don’t like gas cars? Ban them instead of working on public transit and infrastructure. Don’t like the flipper zero? Ban it instead of either licensing purchase and use like a billion other radio devices that exist, or holding car manufacturers responsible for ass security practices.

    Can’t wait to find out what they don’t like next, I wonder what they’ll do? /s
