This and the porn thing have been massively invasive in terms of privacy. It’s so transparently just building a database of facial data. It doesn’t even make an attempt to comprehensively block everything on the internet, or realistically enforce compliance.
Like the same job to multiple printers? I mean technically probably possible, but why?
Moon’s haunted
My cat found a snake in my study a week ago. He’s a good boy.
2016 was a weird year for me. I had a strong fling that ended abruptly, and I was heartbroken for a while. It was an alright year, I was working in a steady tech job and living in a share house.
2026 I’m living in my own house with 2 cats, my partner of 7 years just broke it off with me for reasons I had very little control over. I’m utterly heartbroken and going through a similar issues I did back in 2016, though more justified. I might recover soon but it’s been a really bad few years, and I’ve not been able to make much of myself lately.
Man, I’ve really got to watch out for 2036, it might be a doozy.
Aha no they actually stopped that about a decade ago iirc? It was a fairly noticeable shift, I was working in a small development environment at the time.
It’s part of the reason TVs are so cheap today, they can serve you ads. You can technically find displays that don’t have ads, but they’re far more expensive. Better to just neuter a smart tv for personal use.
I’ve had a similar suspicion actually, but it’s also possible they’re on some incomprehensible level of incompetence.
Australia, I would say a touch worse, though I’ve made better use if it.
Fuck man turns out all money is fake this is bullshit I want a redo
Idk if I’d even recommend anything anymore. Microsoft shit is easier but more likely to just nuke itself or destroy your data. MacOS is stable and user friendly but prohibitively expensive. Linux is generally great, but requires a level of teach savvy that most people are actively afraid of. I’m so tired.
They genuinely don’t. My impression is the news is either how the train was 2 minutes late, or how tourists/foreigners are ruining the country.
Hell yeah dude, good luck with it!
If it helps, chaos theory still slaps really hard. Highly recommend a replay if it’s been a while.
Oh actually are they? I admit I assumed they were doing the standard bullshit of everything is free to get you integrated, then they start charging. Actually maybe that already happened and this is the result of that.
Absolutely, that’s why we need to prevent things that would enable abuse.
There’s always going to be people pushing for more power, and we need to be alert because that power will endanger people. We’ve seen that in America, we’ve seen that time and time again throughout history. Unchecked power causes abuse and dead people.
It’s going to be a balancing act, naturally the role of government will require some level of power over it’s people, but ideally the people also get a say in that.
The biggest roadblock to our own safety in that regard is complacency. Why else are we being turned into passive consumers? Those with money know it’s easier to manage a docile consumer population than it is to manage something like France. Strong consumer rights, and the general willingness of the population to actually get mad and start wrecking shit have left them in a largely advantageous position.
So yes, I believe you should push back even on the small abuses of power and privacy, both because it’s important, and because it gets you used to pushing back when actually abuses of power start occurring.
How would that even work as well? The ads will be in the website, doesn’t most stuff run through API calls? If you force everyone to start paying per call, the business model falls apart instantly.
Make it less shit dumbass
Cool, he has nothing to hide, but when people want to get at you, they will invent things. They will decide regular human behaviours are morally abhorrent, and they will have an infrastructure to enforce that.
It’s not about things that are wrong, it’s about preventing abusable tools from existing.
This probably has been said but I want to chip in regardless.
People like this do not usually have a concrete goal, rather they are the ones who are acting in a shitty way just enough so the system rewards it, not enough to punish it. They have a fuzzy compulsion to seek more at any cost, when the current existence becomes slightly mundane they go for the next taboo thrill, the next bribe. They don’t have a stable existence and must consume forever, like a cancer.
