why would it be? I'm the first one against genai, my nickname tells the story, but this isn't different from restoration or poorly animated reconstructed scenes they've been doing.
Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we!
The reason why ads aren't already served like this is the risk of fraud. The publisher can just make up claims of millions of impressions with no way to disprove it.
I assume Trusted Server comes with some mechanism to prevent this. That's what the name means: The server is trusted by the advertisers.
First, almost all big websites support RSS. Just because there's no giant yellow RSS icon doesn't mean it's not supported, autodiscovery is the main way people subscribe to feeds these days. YouTube supports RSS. Nearly every news site supports it. Every blog. Every podcast. Substack supports it despite launching long after RSS supposedly died.
Even when a website has no RSS support, there's often a way to subscribe anyway using a scraper tool.
There's no reason for it to be supported in browsers when third party clients work great. By this standard email would be dead since browsers don't support it anymore. Most people would rather keep their subscriptions in an online service that can synchronize between devices and has native mobile apps.
So I essentially have to wrap it in something like std::optional. Well, that's certainly one way to write a socket class, but I'd say it's not idiomatic C++. (I have never seen a socket class being implemented like that.)
Planes are the worst way to watch a movie. Even with good noise cancelling headphones you can barely hear the dialogue. The screen is a 10 year old el cheapo LCD, and the video is 480p compressed to hell. On top of that, it has unskippable ads and the film is muted whenever the PA is on.
