They will lose me as well if they try it here in the US. I pay for multiple screens for a reason.. if they try and restrict this to specific devices and locations … value proposition changes and I am out.

Agree with the premise here. Not sure what the attraction of downtown urban areas are anymore. I live about 2.5 hours from Chicago... and it is a shell of its former self. Crime is a real problem. What is the draw anymore? Expensive, o

Because they already control 20 percent of Ukraine. The 20 percent they currently control is their prime objective. It ensures that the crimean peninsula remains russian. It ensures that the north crimean canal stays open providing fresh

Yuck my two cents. Apples jump into financial services and pay as you go services model has really rubbed me the wrong way. If i get another settings alert that I need to setup apple wallet, sign into icloud or now perhaps a notice that I c

Google is restricting the number of questions you can ask and so is Microsoft. Already we see big players trying to “dumb” down and control responses. I really hope opensource alternatives make a real impact in this space soon.

Mircosoft's implementation of ChatGPT in Edge (Dev) is weak. They have really neutered its ability and length/number of queries you can ask it. It also tries to sprinkle in some web suggestions as well. This is worrisome because

The seems to be an organized slow and steady push to turn computers into consoles for the vast majority of users. They use "privacy" "security" "protect children" etc etc as methods to move closer in this dire

Its funny to watch "progressive" mega corporations like Starbucks, Apple, Amazon + more skirt around unions. Essentially they use PR to say we are all for these corporate safe progressive topics... but any topics of worker rights

"Trans teenagers that want to transition are going to need puberty blockers" From a medical perspective and from a psychological perspective I am not sure puberty blockers are a good option for teens. Again I would argue most teen

Identity formation is an complex and fascinating subject in human development. As an educator and father of three can also chime in with my own personal experience. I believe that many (if not most) people do not have a fully formed identi

Quote sadly has not held up will in the last couple decades. We are now led by a louder more extreme minority that aggressively police’s discussion points. For example I am mostly liberal and was a fan of Bernie Sanders. However in my per

Honestly the most depressing thing I have read today. I loved these books as a hyper young boy that struggled in school. Reading his books was an escape and help foster in me a love of reading. What kind of a dystopian nightmare society t

I agree think honestly there is room for middle ground here. Crypto didn’t stop humans from being humans. There are always people trying to make a quick an easy dollar. The tech really has little do with this aspect of human behavior.

Imagine a government controlled AI that partners with mega corporations to "assist" AI in getting you the "correct" results you desire. Call me a pessimist but we may already be staring down the gun of a dystopian futur

Is it "Google hasn't kept up"… or perhaps it’s by design. I wonder if google has more interest in showing users what it wants to show them vs what we end users may be looking for. At least for me I see this blatantly when u

Sadly this what happens with the “equity” push is public schools. There is no way to have “equalized” outcomes without dumbing down the content. This means less advanced courses. It’s sad because somehow the idea of equal opportunity has

Frustrating. The fact it takes this long for things to enter the public domain is quite Dystopian. https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-duration.html I cannot fathom any reason for these extended lengths :&#x2F

“ By this point, the idea of "owning" software feels positively archaic to me” Just my two cents but your comment here seems like it was pulled out of a future corporate dystopian novel. Most “subscription” models I see these days

Except that is an easy out. The truth is the emperor has no clothes here. The current DNC is pro corporate pro elitist and just grand stands using some “corporate safe” identity political issues to market themselves as “progressive”

It’s amazing how Bidens work on this is just excused and rationalized. In His career he has always modeled himself as the representative for the working class and pro union. His direct involvement is the most anti union action in three dec

It reminds me of the old saying “Monkey see .. Monkey do”. An over simplification perhaps but there is no question we “mimic” all the time.

No. In fact if you shot a person robbing you in San Francisco you would be jailed and likely charged. This is not the case in all states but in California you cannot shot a thief unless he is threatening you will deadly force.
