Yes but Elon is driving you. A remote controll to steer your car. He got it. I would short the telephone antenna if I were you.

UX is all power structures, not tech. There was this Reddit api 3rd party app that was terrific before the rug pull. Don't remember the name. Pretty obvious when a solo dev can outclass Reddits engibeering departement.

And why operate a franchise yourself when you can just own stock. I believe the social feedback is what have gotten so bad. Too much bog corps and remote landlords to care.

I think it has to be a somewhat smaller sized shop with the same 3 staff on rotation for the social thing. Applied to both my video store and game store in the 90s early 00s.

As if giving users more time to accept bad terms before the rug pull is commendable. "It needing to be done"? I didn't accept any terms with MS and I haven't received any refund or whatever other compensation.

People not into music does not seem to actually listen to the lyrics. Like, Springsteens Born in the USA etc. It is really strange. The lyrics doesn't even have to be subtle.

I don't think multispecies plantations with thinning (until the trees are big enough) requires serfs eating only porridge. Like, there are motor saws nowadays.

Sure from a philosophical standpoint I agree with you. But in practice you need to weight in trust. Bad faith retorics is just too expensive to engage. The main problem with ad hominem is when ot is used as "Mr Y agree with you. Mr Y i

Ad hominem attacks attacks is often missused as a way to slander stating conflict of interests.

Ad hominem attacks are actually underrated. Like, why listen to bad people wanting you no good. It is a good shortcut. The failure is when it is used in bad faith. But that would apply to all techniques. LLMs are masters of bad faith discus

> your phone is created so you don't have to run home and use the landline to make a phone call - it's making an already existing task easier. There are externalities. In my experience it was way easier to call people in the 90

The lack of class consiousness and understanding of power structures is beyond silly nowadays. Had this colleague argue "there has to be ABI how else are we going to get money". Like ... no thoughts about not needing the middle cl

Isn't security just an excuse to push user hostile features? Like, if security was a concern we would have simpler systems and still use 2fa devices for banks etc.

Big Brother is trying to turn is against modern coorparate software practices or what is your point?

Sure. You need to relate to the overton window to not seem like a tinfoil hat alarmist hysteric to normal people. I can agree on that. It is really hard to keep your cool.

One could argue that fascist run FOSS projects might be working against your interest as a user. Fascist is not just a silly label. The political collapse of neoliberalism made a lot of closet fascists emerge and they seem quite common amon

I paid less for internet in the late 90s and had a good support to call. There is no way "absurd margins" are required.

It probably comes down handing over power from the user to capital which is antagonostic in its nature to the users' needs. Running non free software is essentially giving up our freedom. Before internet connectivity the problem wasn&#

> 2. OpenAI is clearly incapable of controlling their in-house models. I would assume they do stuff like this on purpose for marketing reason. Internet security need simpler systems and local systems. Everything the SaaS people sell make
