the blog post is absolute slop though

Nothing about OP's story sounds plausible or reasonable. The criminal gangs are magically afraid of flock cameras but not any other kind of surveillance? They had footage of the cr…

yeah good post, it does nothing to support your point or answer my question, thanks for sharing.

you think you have some amazing analogy but it's utterly nonsensical. where is microsoft putting this money that is going to earn it more? are they low on cash on hand? why are the…

SillyTavern and the size of like Character.ai at its peak shows pretty obviously that people are doing exactly this!

Hahaha, yes. Though now I'm imagining an incredible alternative world where I only install the most enshittified pieces of software.

Great timing given I just installed SwiftKey since Microsoft has started embedding ads and dark pattern redirects to Bing!

This is quite a way to admit that you don't have any writers or artists in your social group. It has absolutely gutted jobs in these industries, and will continue to do so. If you …

you're living in a fantasy world besieged by an ideology that doesn't actually exist

"modern wokeness", ah, yes. Because the show about religion as a means of control, that featured strong women throughout, was broadly about how colonialism is bad and the importanc…

I often think about leaving gmail, but it's not clear what the better option out there is, that doesn't create a bunch of pain in terms of not having good replacements for the rest…

It's actually mandated by the FAA that an ashtray be present in the restrooms: > (g) Regardless of whether smoking is allowed in any other part of the airplane, lavatories must hav…

Will they? Have you gone through that process with them? In my experience (admittedly somewhat stale) it was fairly hard to get through to them, much less to get the information re…

Yes, Cloudflare has always been really shitty and automated at responding to abuse reports, and because they are the front-end connection, it is impossible to pursue the report aga…

This is a great soundbite, but it's also completely vacuous. Wanting the government to take action against a clear societal issue is not wanting the government to be God.

will nobody think of the megacorps!!!

this is ice cream = shark bites levels of critical thinking

You keep making comments making it sound like you have a better view of the world than the people you're responding to, but just making personal attacks. The person you're respondi…

you say this as if massive corporations with extremely well-compensated executives don't regularly employ Deloitite and other worthless consultancies to do all sorts of work ineptl…

people who don't make OS preferences their entire personality

hahaha, the conspiracy i always joke about is when the first time a starlink satellite deorbiting is going to kill someone 'accidentally'.
