You’re welcome to be a spineless muppet trying to obey unethical laws, but I won’t be.

“It’s just a harmless field; what’s the big deal?”

The big deal is that it’s on the heels of age verification bullshit that fascists are pushing through with the help of tech bros, so that they can eventually push all of us into a scenario where we have zero privacy.

It’s not the adding of the field itself or the fact that it can be filled with nonsense. It’s the reasoning backing it.

“But it’s the law!”

Yeah, fucking and…? It’s a stupid mass surveillance law disguised as a protection, and per usual, it’s written like vague dog shit. This is the smallest part of the wedge. More will come of this and if developers like this keep volunteering themselves to help the fascists, we will all be fucked. Here’s an alternative approach: just don’t add this. You can fight back by not fucking implementing this. Easy.

No work is getting done there. They’re pretending it does.

My Samsung TV is not on the WiFi and I have AdGuard running network-wide because of shit like this.

Damn, that explains why I wanna nap whenever I’m bored. I wanna nap during work half the time.

The older I get, the more I appreciate sleep. If your body is telling you to nap, do it. It’s worth it.

It’s just computers all the way down.

I was actually having fun until we were all forced to use AI or fall behind. Now it’s boring as fuck and I’m not even allowed to work part-time? Typical capitalist scam.

That said, I like being an adult with adult money. I wouldn’t go back.

Implying that it’s the only thing that matters is dumb. If you want uncanny valley faces, go for it. I’m not interested in dumb AI permeating yet another corner of my life.

Even if it looked good, it has zero context of the original artists’ intent. This is like having AI summarize pages of a book as you read. You’re now locked a layer away from the original artist’s work and it’s a layer controlled by corpos. No thank you.

The US at the behest of Israel. The US has no strategy or plan for Iran, but Netanyahu has wanted this for 40 years. Subjugating and defeating Iran is a key part of the “Greater Israel” plan. This is Israel puppeteering the US to do its bidding.

100% spot on. They’ve managed to make a bunch of Christian nationalists believe that Israel’s “Greater Israel” plan that Netanyahu himself has wanted for 40 years, is part of their own Christian story. That’s why all of those reports came out about US military leadership telling soldiers that this was some sort of scripted divine war. The US is just Israel now. We funded a terrorist regime, it surpassed us, and now we’ve become a part of it.

No, it was Israel. They can use this as cover. Now suddenly OpenAI and Claude are at fault. Oops! Israel excels at bombing civilian targets and schools. Biggest bunch of fucking cowards I’ve ever seen.

I revamped my 3ds recently and loaded that thing up! I’ll never part with this thing. I can also play MK online via Pretendo Network.

Proton handed over the info to the Swiss government under a specific law. The Swiss government then turned around and readily handed over that info to the FBI without telling Proton that’s what was going to happen.

It doesn’t make anyone innocent here. Just adding that for clarity because this headline I keep seeing is not correct.

Yeah, I used to manage a colocated Apache server back in the mid 2000s.

The AI bubble is getting ready to burst.

The desperation here lmao

As part of its strategy, Oracle has begun requiring clients to help build infrastructure, per the CIO report, citing TD Cowen. This effectively translates to asking clients to shoulder part of the cost, according to the investment bank.

AI could replace CEOs. As soon as you throw that out there, all the CEOs are like “woah now, hold on, you’re taking it a bit too far…”

AI is a rich asshole’s wet dream. An employee that will work 24/7, doesn’t require benefits or PTO, and can complete a task faster? They’re all in.

I’m really not sure what kind of world they want but I see patterns:

• A government that pushes anti-vaccine rhetoric and suggests unhealthy foods in unhealthy quantities
• Zero worker protections
• Largest prison population in the world
• Ruining both food and education
• Poisoning minds and social circles with infighting bullshit

🤔 Seems like they want the poor class to either be enslaved or dead. They’re going to turn the US into Gaza. A captured audience that either works for peanuts and owns nothing, or dies off and is no longer a burden on the rich.

Yep. Maintaining anonymity across platforms requires constant effort. It also helps to just not have any accounts on any mainstream social media platforms.

Best advice I can give is eat as many vegetables as you can and skip this crap.
