And this is where LLMs excel at: deflection of duty. The billionaire class are going to replace people providing critical services with LLMs, claiming that they do the job better t…

I'm skeptical of non-software patents as well. So much R&D are funded by taxpayer money yet private companies monopolize the profits. Patents are supposed to keep valuable knowledg…

Maybe I lost too much faith in society. But in a world where everyone is recording each other, I think people who are able to act with impunity wins, not necessarily those with hig…

There's plenty of evidence to the contrary, considering that's the same old argument that NRA has been making for our entire lives.

If you don't see that as exploitation, then we have much bigger issues to discuss. Like baseline ethics.

> Tech used to be about becoming more accessible to people Since when? Because funny story, I only ever hear that narrative from tech people trying to put a self-serving spin on wh…

No. That was him mocking his users in private, knowing he was exploiting kids who had no clue what they were getting into. > the following exchange is between a 19-year-old Mark Zu…

What do you mean, "as opposed to"? Yes, there are other scumbag billionaires weaponizing their social media platforms to ruin society. No, that doesn't make Mark Zuckerberg a bette…

In a sane society that respects its people, such a company shouldn't exist.

Understatement of the year. Making publicly funded research accessible to taxpayers is public service, while using the plagiarizing machine to attack open source efforts for the sa…

> People do expect their hardware to just work. That means installing drivers and the like. A display, of all things, shouldn't require installing anything to make it "just work." …

People absolutely do care about security cameras, as demonstrated by ongoing opposition to Flock cameras. Security cameras have been widely deployed at a time when they weren't int…

You're in luck because there are so many alternatives. Fastmail, Tuta Mail, Migadu, Proton, and I'm sure there are more.

They or the government is going to make deepfakes using this.

uBlock Origin with the EasyList Annoyances filter is better than anything that Google can ever provide. I haven't seen Google popups in my desktop browser for a long time.

> without initially seeking my consent That's just how SSH works. If you want to be pseudonymous, you should also generate a new key pair.

The industry has proved again and again and again over the past two decades that surveillance, manipulation, and profiteering is all they care about, and the public is wising up to…

Are there laws against clauses in the T&Cs that allow companies to arbitrarily change the said T&Cs? Are there laws against clauses that prevents consumers from suing companies? Un…

> you get to have cheaper purchases for your entire life with no downside If you uncritically believe things like this, I have a bridge to sell you. You should praise me for it too…

It's jarring to read a bunch of LLMs rushing to defend a predatory industry.

If one needs brainpower to just use the redirection operator, it shows a likely lack of understanding of basic concepts in computing like processes and files. That should be concer…

I suppose a lot of people use less rather than cat for looking at files though. `alt + .` is much more versatile. You can use it to cycle through and insert the last arguments of p…

The redirection operator is consistent and requires less typing though. I guess the file is usually the last argument because it's the one that can be omitted.
