The argument is not transferable because breaking into someone's house is sure to do more harm than the unspecified hypothetical harm that a "script kiddie" could do with ChatGPT, and that bypassing a door lock requires some

What? Let me get this right, you're saying: 1. The average person being able to code is dangerous as they could "troll" or do unspecified harm, 2. So we need to arbitrarily kneecap our own tools, but that's okay because

Right, but the article describes a scenario where you aren't actually awake.

We absolutely do laugh at both already.

Its usage and the data it collects are not malicious or done to track you. "Data collection" is arguably a clearer name than telemetry to the average user and is clearly labelled, and can be disabled in a single checkbox in settin

Thank you. And I would even say that settings aren't really even in different places, they're all either on the Settings page or on the element in question. New tab settings are on the new tab page, and you disable the pocket butt

Transparent telemetry is not spying. I'll agree that the ads are annoying but they're about as unobtrusive as you can make them. This is not the catastrophe you believe it to be, and even if it were, the big scary evil worse-than-

It isn't. I can without any sarcasm disable all of that in about a minute or two, and for the most part see no reason to do so in the first place (the worst bit is probably sponsored links on new tabs but that's also the easiest t

It's not a big deal. They're easy to disable and easier to just ignore. It just doesn't matter in the way that you want me to panic over.

You talk like the project is dead, but the blog post emphatically says that it isn't.

This is an extremely uncharitable view of Firefox and an outrageously generous view of Windows. The things you listed take 2 checkboxes in a new tab window, 2 checkboxes in settings (which has a search bar that takes you right to them by ju

Maybe I missed it, but it seems the actual sound file that was transferred wasn't included in the post... A shame, since all that buildup had me wondering what the file was!

I imagine it's like wearing a cast. To fix your broken arm that can't be used, you need to wear a cast that prevents your arm from being used.

For Android I've found a tool just called DiskUsage that does this, but the visualization isn't quite as good.

Wow! Shocked that this is the first I've heard of this given that I've been using Everything for years now. Thanks for the link.

Probably fair to say that neither are any good.

Lay off of the menu key, that thing rules. Menu-A to run as admin and shift-menu F to run as different user in particular are so nice to have.

How do you feel about just fast forwarding past the ads in your audio player? Is that unethical too?

Right on, but the browser works on my machine. Doesn't feel like it's "dying" or whatever other nonsense.

It sounds like they would, as they have about the same level of familiarity with local norms as an immigrant or a tourist would be aren't treated with the same leeway.

I don't understand. You're assuming that a 4-day week is all or nothing, but that's obviously not true. Plenty of places already do it while plenty don't. Some places do a 7 day work week.
