Have you already forgotten when the exact same people wanted to know why prices were going up but absolutely didn’t tolerate that anyone mentionned tariffs in their reply?

Would it be bad if we were using GPS spoofers and locate thousands of people in the WH at all time?

That would just be a new occurrence of a known pattern: most hateful are mostly repressing themselves and infuriated by people who aren’t.

I don’t see the beginning of anything to rein in the power they get from just being overrich assholes.

Ironically, the only countries on Earth that control tightly (some of) their billionaires are Russia and China. I rememer Vietnam also executed one for tax fraud. Something for which they are barely slapped on their hand in western countries.

But there will be more satellites, and not just from SpaceX. They are already disturbing astronomers work, and it will only get worse.

There was no real debate about whether the world population is ok with it. Big corp has money, big corp acts for its interest and nothing else.

And I’m not denying the benefits of low-orbit satellites and having vast but lowly populated areas at last getting access to a fast Internet. I’m jùst pointing out that this whole thing is happening mostly out of control (or very very few control).

If you add that now international laws was shot and its body discarded in the toilet, also note that getting too much dependent on these satellites makes you very vulnerable to a military strike. I have no doubt that Russia, China and other countries (Iran?) are actively working on satellites destruction, with or without creating debris and giving us a Kessler syndrom. If you look at climate change, on-going life mass extinction, water scarcity, etc. there is little doubt that world leaders will make the worst possible decisions in the name of pragmatism (or religion, but it doesn’t really matter).

I wasn’t serious. More of a satire about the absurdity of our “modern” world.

Until throw these fucks in jail this shit will continue.

You think? Send Zuckerberg or any of these billioraires to jail.

1.They will use their lawyers army to be moved to a for-profit prison. 2.They will buy that prison. 3.They will make changes inside, turning them into a resort for them, but an absolute shithole for all other prisoners, guards, etc.

GrapheneOS is not a company doing business. If they’re banned, that just means Motorola can’t sell pre-installed phones, but that doesn’t change anything about the phone compatibility with GOS. You’ll have to install it yourself, just like today.

Actually the reason is the US uses 3M$ anti-missile missiles to intercept 20k$ drones. It was obvious from the start they would run out of them way while Iran would keep producing more of their drones (plus the ones they get from Russia).

It’s quite unbelievable they the US were so confident in their capabilities they didn’t bother to learn anything from the war in Ukraine, where swarms of cheap drones have replaced advanced but costly missiles for years now.

So the money may be genuinely used on weapons (and well, lobsters and steaks…). It’s just spent stupid.

I know someone who told me (in French) M.B.A stands for “Moins Bon qu’Avant”, that translates to “less good than before”.

Ok, all personal efforts are good to take, but we will never emphasize enough that the energy transition is not and cannot work solely at individual or households level.

In our current world, we use oil to make fertilizer to grow food, we use extensive gas-powered machinery for everything in the fields and for cattles. Then we need gas-powered trucks to transport food to the supermarkets, themselves dependent on transportation of an army of low wages jobs: the ones who will struggle more with rising costs of transportations.

In winter, a lot of food is growed in greenhouses heated by burning gas.

Almost all of complex devices around us are heavily dependent on globlalization, so cheap transportation of goods thanks to oil.

Even after the war, damages on natural gas infra already made will have repercussions for years.

And even beyond that, we know that the conventional oil reserve worldwide is depleting, and non-conventional will get more and more expensive as the most accessible deposit will also deplete.

We urgently need ambitious public policies.

This! Knowing one path that “works” despite all it flaws and the pain it creates, but feeling trapped because the alternative is a great unknown and possibly a worse outcome, so he follows the one he can foresee.

Facebook introduces private messages. They’re private. Ah, no! They sold these messages to Microsoft, Amazon and Huawei! – They trust me, dumbfucks!
Facebook has all interest to work for the benefits of its users. Ah, no! They literally experimented on people to see if they could make them more depressed or more happy. – They trust me, dumbfucsk!
Facebook has an active moderation. Ah, no! They knowingly let disinformation spread and lead to a genocide because engagement numbers were good. – They trust me, dumbfucks!
Instagram minds kids and their sensitivities. Ah, no! They have algorithms to exploit their insecurity because engagement numbers were good, who cares if a few of them end up depressed and kill themselves. – They trust me, dumbfucks!
Whatsapp has E2E because they value privacy. Ah, no! The app sends home a copy of the private key on demand, rendering the whole thing pointless. – They trust me, dumbfucks.

Meta’s glasses would never take a picture without their wearer’s explicit consent.

Fortunately for them, some people are really really really dumbfucks to a point Forrest Gump would look like a genius next to them.

Yeah, I’m totally going to chill because I can’t see a LED… not. Hell yes, I’m still going to call out creep-glass wearers.

Go ahead and test yours. Repeat after each update and check if it’s location and/or time dependent.

If you orientate your phone with cameras towards people, they’ll assume you’re taking pics or filming. Otherwise, it’s a general purpose device.

If you wear creep-glasses designed to secretly take pics or film people, a lot of people will assume you’re secretly taking pics or filming.

I’m wondering if it’s really the vaccine or if what makes you vulnerable to the antivax idea also makes you more prone to neurodegenerescence.

It is genuinely useful for people with limited programming experience to write simple scripts that will never be released in the wild.

That market is way too niche to justify the billions needed to achieve that result. Companies should just have professional human coding assistants.

Altman knows. He still has devs in his company, and he didn’t lay them all off. OpenAI is set to go bankrupt in around 1 year. He needs to keep the hype to get as much more money in, and himself generous bonuses, before it goes down.

You still fail to understand you don’t need to be continuously filming to monitor what’s going in front of a camera.
