Hey but as long as the rich are happy!

This is at least the second time I have heard this, you could never accidentally turn mine on. Sounds like there’s a lot of missing regulation in this space.

It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

Depends if the wallet records data of what site required verification. Any amount of privacy being eroded is bad.

Yeah, would be stupid of the UK to not try and negotiate with the EU about being involved.

0.1% is generous. It’s much smaller.

Not at all rude, imho, maybe the culture is different where you are from?

I value animals very highly, so why should they get named after food, that seems rude.

Nah, real names are the best names for pets. Makes them more part of the family.

Children cannot buy a connection, so if they bought a modem/router, they couldnt do anything with it.

This is the exact point, its a parental failure if they give their children access to the internet without supervision. Maybe it’s also a fault of the educational and social systems, for not better preparing our parents to be in this world.

Ignoring digital ID being used as state snooping and control for a moment.

It’s crazy age verification would ever need to exist online. Children cannot buy an internet connection.

It’s not? Power draw and efficiency has always been used as a major negative to a lot of things, it’s why we have more power efficient devices now. AI is consuming this power for what exactly? It’s entirely pointless, only there to enable a circular economy among mega-corporations.

But that’s beyond the point here…

It’s entirely irrelevant if something is a negative to one thing and not another. When talking drawbacks for something, there isn’t a list you have to pick from, they are going to be specific to it.

Using a massive negative of AI to attack AI is confusing to you?

They already did that, we’d just be clearing up the trash.

Can we destroy all starlink satellites already?

Fuck AI, but a respectable stance.

And then you have the ShareX developer, using a screenshot of an AI response to respond to a GitHub issue.

They’ll miss straightening it once the kitty has passed.

It’s not. He is just the figurehead for their regime.

Individual plans are a rip-off yeah, Spotify is one of the only services I subscribe to and that’s because I have a family plan, so it’s not so easy for me to just cancel it, when others are relying on it. It works out at €3.40/month ($3.95) per member. The value there is really good.

Spotify lets you just listen to anything, I can put a playlist on and it will keep going forever and I have discovered many tracks I would have never listened to, or even known they existed. Buying music is great, but only when you know exactly what you want, I’m not a big music person, I like listening to it, but I don’t really have a dialled in taste. Spotify is great for that.

There will obviously be a tipping point though when they inevitably raise the price too far and I will abandon ship.

A popular but unofficial Android app by “catfriend” was weirdly taken over by someone with no credentials. So everyone lost trust in it and the new maintainer was very sketchy in their responses to concerns.

There’s no controversy with the official project.
