This is pretty much how it was in NA before they started going to crap. One of my biggest annoyances is the exact same (crappy) product listed 300 times with different brands/names. But hey, at least we still have extravagantly fast de

I'm not sure I agree with this, unless by "ordinary people" you mean a particular group. In my experience, the vast majority of members of oppressed or marginalized groups are strongly against these things. The only people I

I'm not against piracy, and I love Anna's Archive... but publicly linking directly to a pirate source for something like this seems wrong. Could've just linked the Wikipedia page and let people acquire however they prefer. An

Why is it better to reduce the harm of a practically useless anti-crime device than remove it entirely?

Constantly surveilling your citizens without cause doesn't strike you as an obvious red line?

Next week: App that emits frequencies that block Flock microphones 2 weeks from now: Google and Apple remove AntiFlock apps; developers arrested (Only slightly sarcastic. We should be talking about ways of making these things useless, as we

Can you elaborate on why you're not thrilled about Flock being removed?

I'm not sure why this is being downvoted. Commenter is entirely correct. If someone has an answer to their question that would add credibility to Discord's phrasing and GP's interpretation, I'm all ears, but otherwise it

Do you have anything to support this hypothesis?

I might give Niri a shot at some point, but yes, this is my thought too: this is more or less the same as having multiple tabbed panes, which enables the grouping GP refers to.

Does he talk about the risks with using ChatGPT or other LLMs? I'm all for teaching elderly people this if it can help them, but I'm also very worried about side effects.

Ah yes, voice assistance and the elderly... a famously compatible combination! :)

GP already said it doesn't respect that setting.

I wouldn't make the mistake of thinking comments on a Fox article are indicative of... anything, really.

Sure but this is only important if the only thing you care about is absorbing just the information without any of the context around it. That context is often imoprtant.

Why is "don't use autonomous drones for such things" not in that list?

Yikes. I suppose "Just stop masking" is great advice if you're in a highly privilege position where you don't have to worry about losing your job. But that does track with suggesting autistic people "just move to Sa

Thanks. And out of curiosity, could you name some positive things the Internet has enabled? I'm also curious how you think we could have rolled it out better to have avoided those things.

I think people support a lot of things in theory. But in practice, less so. Probably because they're often implemented in ways prone to abuse or simply unfair to an average citizen.

by squigz 1y ago
Because those laws are unfair and imbalanced to favor the powerful and influential.
