So much better listening to music I chose and actually enjoy.

Oops, we accidentally ripped you off, again.

Roblox literally monetized unsupervised access to children as a premium feature.

That’s like walking into the removed store and asking if they sell anything that isn’t removed.

Sure, they do, but your going to have to paw through a bunch of removed to find it.

The difference being that the Hindenburg was a perfectly functioning rigid airship that had a lot of inherent risks due to the nature of its design.

AI isn’t good enough at its actual job to be in this position. The risk of AI is people pretending that it works when it doesn’t. It would be like if you made a blimp and filled it with carbon dioxide and people kept buying tickets and just sitting there waiting for it to take off.

The idea is that there is already a bunch of removed developed for Linux so you aren’t really starting from zero. But yeah, I agree with your overall assessment. No one is going to be making hardware for this.

Sure, my answer is limited to social media because that is the question that is being asked here.

I’m not convinced that there isn’t a whole lot of gay minotaur sex in this book.

Literally every single halal certified carcass was killed like this.

I remember when narrow viewing angles of an LCD screen would cost you ratings on a review. Good move marketing it as a “feature”.

I can’t even figure out what “rougelike” is supposed to mean anymore.

Which is hilarious because a loaded gun is more broadly legal in the US than a collapsible baton or a long knife.

This article starts out by observing that Zuckerberg committed enough crimes to be sent to prison under existing law and then argues that the only solution is more laws?

How about we just start making rich people subject to the same set of laws as everyone else?

The whole “find lost dogs” thing was likely the result of a single meeting with the agenda item “how do we sell this thing we are already doing as anything other than mass surveillance for state actors?” They probably ended it early.

Teach it the answers to the turning test and boom, “ai”.

By getting rid of shitty corporate social media that makes money by exploiting people.

This is like suggesting that the solution to protecting your kids from tigers roaming the street is to lock them in their rooms. Nah, just rid of the fucking tigers.

Don’t forget that they fork over millions of dollars to Joe Rogan while they are doing it.

I’ve tried explaining this to me peers that just quietly bust their asses while noisy jerks (including me, but to a lesser extent than most) get perceived as high performers because they engage with their bosses and work on things that have high visibility.

I think the biggest mistake that the current administration is making (at least in terms of domestic commerce) is the complete failure to understand that consumer protections are NOT altruistic services given away to people. They are devices intended to increase consumer confidence and therefore consumer spending. A properly regulated market means that customers are confident that they will be given fair terms and will get what they have paid for. If you erode those protections the result is that consumers spend less.

The governments role in a capitalist nation is to serve as a guarantor of the integrity of transactions within its jurisdiction. If it abdicates that responsibility people will curtail their spending commensurate with their perception of increased risk. In short, people stop buying removed when they view those purchases as risky.

Since Trump and his cohort have never actually engaged in LEGITIGIMATE business they view these regulations exclusively as impediments when the reality is that they greatly benefit corporations in a consumer driven economy.
