That's a ridiculous idea. If you commit suicide because of years of depression that you can't get out of and don't have any positive outlook on the future, you wouldn't care about wisleblowing and bringing some bad rep t

For me the Jack plug from the headphone would always break. Could repair it a couple of times with my own clunky soldering work, but eventually would just wear out too much and I would buy a new headphone. Since wireless I haven't look

Of course people think of solving this problem again by constraining the consumer, instead of the producer. What we should do is make rules for social media platforms to disallow them to develop algorithms that make people addicted. You mig

Which would mean that we have all kinds of active backdoors in our systems without us knowing it. But wouldn't they be detected at some point by someone? Or would they be silently removed again after some time so the attackers are not

Well probably the reason most people use it is because they are ignorant about the alternatives and ignorant about the vendor lock-in character of M§.

In non-existence there is no space for existence to exist. So existence can only exist within the realms of existence. So within existence asking the question why there is an existence does not make sense. Because you can only ask the quest

Sure, why bother understanding anything if ChatGPT can just produce the answers for you ;). You don't have to understand the answers even. Actually you don't need to understand the question also. Just forward the question from you

I don't see how removing buttons from your keyboard is helping with those issues. I do see how making people aware about the use of tracking cookies will help with raising awareness about the use of tracking cookies. I understand you s

It's mostly about making people aware. And it does have some effect. Maybe not much, but you have to start somewhere. Imagine a group of people living in a big house that hasn't been maintained and cleaned in a long time. Then som

By tracking people, they understand people's behavior, what hypes there are, what kind of things people are engaging with, interested in. Then they can target specific campaigns at certain groups of people, to manipulate their opinion,

What do you mean no consequences? Haven't you heard they use this data to manipulate public opinion to push certain political agendas? And that is just one example of the tip of the iceberg. Information is power. They are not collectin

Meditation is a practice, you practice to keep your mind "clean" and don't clutter it with unnecessary thoughts, worries, etc. If you master this skill, you will require less sleep. And then you don't have to be sitting

Maybe the next step would be that websites should adhere to the "Do not track" browser option, and not show the popup when people have that option on. I think that would make a lot of people very happy. The businesses that thrive

Or you could look at it like this: Big websites are tracking people, unknowingly to them, giving them lots of power, because information is power these days. And the sites that treat their customers fairly and honestly, ie they just want to

If you understand the law properly you understand you don't need a cookie banner if you don't track your users. But it is easier to not have to understand it and play safe. But then you shouldn't blame the law for making you

What do you mean incompatible with LineageOS? In LineageOS you have to choice to install Google services like Google Play, or use the Aurora store. In /e/os/ they have their own app store, App Lounge, with which you can insta

They don't even have a good definition for AGI themselves. It's just a hype word to get you excited and get money so they can develop their propietary product in order to dominate us.

Something impactful like AI shouldn't be a technology dominated by a single entity. That can only have bad outcomes. I hope OpenAI will fail, but I hope they'll fail because people wake up and realize it's not a good thing to

Hehe, always the same. Popular non-FOSS software always dies in these kinds of ways. That, and that it's Chrome-only, is why I never wanted to use Postman. I've been using RESTED [1] in Firefox happily for quite some time. Althoug
