The only "big tech bad" law that really makes sense would be making non-free software illegal.

Nah I don't want them involved.

At this point I'd rather die in my house. So much of it is obviously crap and it's so inconvenient and expensive I'd rather avoid doctors altogether.

I managed to log into the mail account I had when I set up gmail.

Their AI arbitrarily decided that still wasn't good enough and that was the end of the gmail account I had since I was 13 (yes, I got one of the early invites.) I'm absolutely never doing anything important on a Google service ever again. It doesn't matter if you set stuff like that up.

IMO: HAMs will likely be more helpful than these will. This is more of the result of professional confusion/processes etc.

Eh. Not anymore it's not. The women have been scattered and a huge number of the young men are dead. The foreign leader might move in immigrants to replace them but then you have the definition of a geographical region and not a country.

I'm on the "please obstruct it" side and thought this was funny.

Let's laugh together instead of silencing each other.

A lot of important people where I work (something important you're probably using right now) were recently issued these as well.

There's a reason that in Christianity they say taking control of your life for yourself is really just giving it over to Satan.

The justification for these things is that the oxygen is being converted to CO2 faster than CO2 is being reduced back to oxygen. So if you capture CO2 at a high rate eventually this would lead to you capturing all of the oxygen.

Maybe people that clumsy shouldn't be doing legally gray things with computers.

Is there a reason you can't just use the normal OS package repo like everyone else?

This only makes sense if you think of people as fungible.

Also one of the main drivers of the low birth rate in the US is the housing/land shortage. Recovery depends on the population shrinking.

I actually do use a lot of XT/Motif apps. Mostly because of the lower latency but also they weren't infected with whatever brain damage generated the gtk3 design language.

I don't see how these are improvements over algae bioreactors. Capturing the CO2 without reducing it will lead to less oxygen in the atmosphere as well. Also at least with bioreactors you get useful products/energy. This just generates more waste products and consumes energy.

Just give away the land to foreigners and dilute the culture so no one feels like they belong.

It's totally worth it to keep wages down.

Work hard and you can be this gay too.

I highly doubt the majority of Linux users have Steam installed, especially the kinds that don't tolerate Nvidia's drivers.

Humans tend to communicate/write software in what are really sub languages. Often these sub languages are not recursive.

OpenBSD always seems to have the sanity you would normally expect from GNU/Linux. I already run their WM, I might switch entirely to their OS.

Steam is going to be heavily skewed Nvidia since many games either need it or run poorly without it. Gamers seem to tolerate an otherwise nearly unusable computer for Nvidia graphics acceleration where most users won't.

I notice it I just don't care at all. Latency is a much bigger deal to me and it may not be technically part of Wayland or the widget toolkits used by compatible apps but it is consistently a problem.

I used plan9 extensively (Almost all my machines including my mail server and primary desktop) before I went to college. That doesn't mean its ready for most people to use.

Yeah. It won't matter. Self hosting powerful models has become trivially easy. Training them is quickly becoming similarly easy.

You're just about in a situation where stopping widespread use of AI requires confiscation/monitoring of everyone's personal computers. It won't be enforceable.

For a long time I renewed my domain name with crypto because my bank's anti-fraud system got hung up on it for some reason (it does that with crypto too but buying more crypto is less time sensitive.)

I used it when originally trying jmp.chat out so I wouldn't have to worry about recurring charges/fraud etc.

I've bought some electronic components with it just to see it work.

Meh. Webassembly has polyfills. I think an incremental approach wouldn't be as hard as people make it out to be but someone does have to sit down and do it.

I think making that distinction is the same mistake you were pointing out.

Next people will have GPT4 summarize their mailbox.

Ten years from now it will all just be robots mailing each other and no one will understand why things keep breaking.

We got democracy from Britain, Rome, and Greece. All of these places had what were essentially dictators from time to time, often to overcome crises.

Yes some of them were bad, but the illusion of consent democratic governments can create is IMO even worse when they go bad.

I grew up in a place like that. I hated it, went to college, got a job, and now I wish I had never left.
