Yeah I just wanted to chime in here on what i see as a world view problem that might need to be updated with the times. I see your point about everything being subscription based. There are definitely software out there that do not deserve

This is developers own fault for licensing a platform that can be audited and taken away at a moments notice. It's better to support software that doesn't require a license. Open Source is going to be the future. Glad these corps

I was thinking the exact same thing. Nobody want notifications. It's just a way for sites to spam ads. The fact that you have to have a seperate warning for spam messages proves that the notifications system itself is a design flaw.

There will be a subset of people that will avoid the harmful parts of this technology. But I see the strengths of using it. I like the parts where it helps humans improve there creative/scientific endeavors, like using the technology t

There is no buts. If you make a decision that you are going to live with a framework that is hostile to your efforts, then that is really your choice to make your life harder. If you really want to make things better for pro audio devs stop

Sounds to me like a mental/emotional crutch/mechanism to distance oneself from the world/reality of the living. There are things that we are meant to strive to understand/accept about ourselves and the world by way of ou

Its a lock that can be weaponized against you so yea, is more than just a lock. Your simplistic analogy doesn't do the reality justice.

by trinsic2 1y ago
This is more like giving control over the locks to a corporation so they can make sure you are safe. Its not even remotely the same thing as you just described.

And they also tie you into systems you don't control. That power can be wielded against you when you least expect it. When you trade security for freedom, you deserve neither.

I wonder if people realize this is happening in many other area without disclosure.

I found this to be a really interesting take on whats going on with society today. I'm sure its been compared like this before, but this guy expands on why this is a real social problem

lol, you did quite some redefining yourself. They do the things the the parent said. They do the same thing with activation lock. Putting it all under the idea of protecting against theft, but it's real motive is to minimize after mark

I feel this is a culture problem that can be localized on a per organization basis. If people are getting promoted for be douche bags you're working at the wrong organization. We feed sociopathy by our choices.

Thanks for posting this. I learn some about the topic as I am not very good receiving criticism.

It's going to take a cultural shift in awareness of how abusing peoples freedom harms society before this really changes. Probably 95% of people on hackernews works for corporations that do this. Do what you can to shift the awareness.

This sounds like it would be a good idea. Create a whitelist of IPs and block the rest.

That's been my experience as well. There is a large population of uneducated people (At least in terms of critical thinking) in the US that are not able to understand the impact of what is happening regarding what this administration i

The idea of supporting AI for a retro mag is just a bad idea, where is there a relationship between the two? I am not getting it.

And jumping on that stupid bandwagon... Its not a necessary evil, it something that should be carefully thought out and getting consent from the people that are being effected by it.

I'm capable of understanding humanity shares best interests and using lies and deceit to manipulate is harmful to society. It sad you have chosen to believe otherwise. So no I don't agree.
656.
by trinsic2 2y ago
Yes it is very problematic. Im more concerned about political and sociological manipulation where lies and deceit are used to convince people to support agendas which go against there own best interests.

by trinsic2 2y ago
I think the difference here is people don't really know what they're giving up psychologically. When you're manipulating someone to choose against their best interests, it's happening on an unconscious level and freedom

I think this is a good point regardless of how much you have been down voted. I hope your not using this context to sub-communicate this issue isn't important. If not, It might have been better to put your last line at the top

I read that I think he means it is tribal thinking if you have a desire to convince instead of search for truth in a curious way. I didnt read that people on the left or the right are always tribal. But yeah, its easy to go that way when yo
