I’m gonna say that my mutt rescue puppy disproves this theory 100%, since he can flip his head straight up and chomp on my arm in like half a second flat. Fuckface murdermouth has a three axis neck.

But god damn he’s a good looking dog and I really like him most of the time.

will eventually

You’re looking for “may eventually”. We’re not anywhere near this so using it as a current argument is rather silly.

I’m old enough now that I’m more financially secure than I ever have been before, and I still think we should tear it all down and create a more equitable system for everyone. Perhaps I’m in the minority though for people my age.

Politicians sew division, fear, and hatred knowing that this will allow them to continue fleecing everyone who works for a living. We should never forget that it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

Eating the rich isn’t a coup de grace, it’s the beginning.

Pack it full of tankies first.

Obviously the way to combat this is to organize dozens or more people who just walk around, load up shopping carts, then leave the store without buying anything. They can pay people to put everything back.

Right. And that would stop if people quit participating on fb.

I like being up to date on what my city councillors are doing, events my local cafes host, local art exhibits, etc. Things that have tangible benefits to my community.

I’m going to say this in the nicest way possible- get up off your behind and attend council meetings in person, walk around your neighborhood, do anything except getting all your local news from Facebook. It’s literally there to show you what they want you to see, not what you want to see. Meta as a company is awful, and the algorithms they use to deliver content and advertising to you are a malignant tumor on society. Any information you get from it can easily be ascertained by walking around your neighborhood.

Can you trust whatever AI you use, implicitly? I already know the answer, but I really want to hear people say it. These AI hype men are seriously promising us capabilities that may appear down the road, without actually demonstrating use cases that are relevant today. “Some day it may do this, or that”. Enough already, it’s bullshit.

recall taking screenshots periodically

Seriously, you didn’t get through the first paragraph?

the notion of a tool that silently takes a screenshot of your desktop every five seconds”

Saying “periodically” is a pretty trivial way of putting it.

Microsoft and Adobe fighting each other over who gets enshittification of the decade award. Sam Altman is probably crafting a victory speech about what chatGPT 12 might possibly be able to do, someday. The sooner all this snake oil hype crashes and burns, the better off we’ll all be.

This isn’t solving any problem, this is yet another mask to push content advertisements in front of people.

That looks better.

Do words just not fucking mean anything anymore? What exactly does “maven” have to do with any of this? Is everyone treated like an expert at everything? Is that how it works?

The entire tech industry is tiring, bullshit, and I’m exhausted with all of it.

However, what if it were possible to hail a small electric vehicle right when you needed it – via a taxi- or Uber-style app

Uber style app. Seriously, fuck no. Send trains or don’t, fuck Uber and their business model.

It’s funny you mention that about teams and O365. Microsoft just announced O/M365 licenses will be sold without Teams now, in the US. Something something antitrust lawsuit.

It is normally a security thing. Unless the company has managed mobile devices, you don’t want company data on a personal cell phone.

So…mercilessly incinerated to a pile of ashes?

If Russia gave Israel weapons, I’m sure Iran would absolutely love that. What do you think the blowback from that would be? Now China on the other hand.

Nah. If they’re wrong, go ahead and correct them yourself.

In this case, customer service is giving roughly 80% / 95% discounts. Which I think bolsters your point even further.
