What the fuck is wrong with YouTube’s ads?

Today I got an ad where a deepfake of President Biden with a “Breaking News” banner from Fox News told me I needed to click the link below to claim my $6400 government stimulus check.

…which was run by an unverified advertiser in Colombia, according to the info that showed when I went to report it.

This shit is why people use adblockers, Google.

i wanted to try today something fun: i forced myself to looking everyone i talked to in their eyes

and i shit you not. i got a lot of "oh wow you look so much happier / responsive today". do other people expect to be looked at in the eye and if we don't we're "unwell"??????

But here's the kicker: it's the LATAM website which is absolutely broken. The US Canon website functions flawlessly.

Props to Windows for actually turning into Plug-and-Play since 10.
Sure, it downloads crusty-ass drivers, but at least my device functions.

Do you ever think "I should hack the firmware on my tumble dryer so it'll boot faster"?
Or are you a normal person with a regular brain?

me: I have strange music tastes you've never heard of what I listen to

nobody:

musicbrainz picard: oh that's the wonderswan version of the Final Fantasy 1 soundtrack

I mean just look at THIS.
This website is such a relic. It even gets a marquee title two years after this snapshot.

I was browsing really ancient archived pages and I JUST learned that IMG coordinate maps are a thing.
I want to do ancient web design so bad.

Archive dot org is the best streaming site.

I really don't like that it corrupted outside of the text window.
That shouldn't be happening if this is just a RAM problem. That's like... a GPU corruption problem.

Which is very bad because I'm currently using the CPU's on-die GPU
