Dictatorship. It's quite interesting to see how all these fake-democracies resort to willy-nilly censosrhip. Usually USA under Trump is the biggest hypocrite, but it is amazing how many EU countries are not that much better really. We

That's sad. I do not want my money to go into ads anywhere. I decided that for my own life, I can do well without propaganda, aka ads. I can not kill ads in reallife, e. g. if a poster shows this on some house, but I can most definitel

The Spy Glasses need to be abolished everywhere. I was, however had, quite surprised when I saw them used by "auditors" (here, I refer to e. g. "auditors" on youtube specifically). Now this brought a problem for me, beca

That's great that they are quitting. It is not ethical to spy on fellow people.

About 2 years ago I bought some SDRAM or something like that, DDR4 or DDR5, don't recall offhand. A few months ago I looked at the price today, and it was over 3x as high. That's just insane. Governments need to do something again

IMO, AI will have the same problems no matter which area or country uses it to dominate over others.

Skimpy clothes can be stylish too. I don't really know of a modern TV series that goes that route anymore. So many things died - look at Married with children, the first five seasons. Such jokes are simply no longer made. It's str

I watched it when I was a kid. I also liked it a lot, surprisingly enough. Some things I liked about it: - Intro music. One of the best for a TV series IMO. I also liked other great intro music, such as Dallas, but never watched Dallas. Oth

Well, sometimes AI generates pictures that are not bad. Personally though I am tired of AI slop in general, and I don't want to support it. AI literally kills humans. In some scenarios AI is still useful (e. g. if you write a game, say

The question is whether you find it ok that the FBI comes sniffing after you. Personally I don't find it ok at all. I don't see any of that as a crime either. The legislation is clearly written by corporations and lobbyists acting

Indeed. I remember that back on my old win-days. I switched to linux in 2004 or so. All those old use cases kind of vanished or changed. Perhaps the subset of software is more limited on linux, since Microsoft also builds - and exploits - a

I feel that the name "Piracy" or "Pirate" no longer applies. I call them more like Freedom Fighters. Like Mel Gibson in the movie Braveheart.

I mean, taming animals is trivial. Look at the lion whisperer. People before that thought that lions are always wild. Some animals are just harder to tame and remain ferocious more than others. But behaviour of animals is adaptable and most

Well, it is time to realise that GPL and similar variants, are better in the long term. I like MIT too, but GPL worked so much better for the linux kernel. Google and others abuse the ecosystem of open source contributors here.

One can not simply trust Google. While I personally like the MIT licence more, I think it is time that the GPL or variants of it (Affero etc...) get used a lot more. It worked very well with the Linux kernel. Corporations keep on abusing th
