How are there so many stupid people here already?

If you’ve got something you’re that worried about keeping private, go home, and break everything with a computer chip, a radio/network. Because if it’s not listening now, it’s only an update away.

Have you tried writing to them? This helped my partner and I. Tell them how you feel, your worries, what you want and why. Give them as much time as they need to process it and respond.

I think ubi has merit as a short term stop-gap measure, when a replacement system is ready to be introduced. My expectation is it will drive inflation up just by there being more poor-people money to sweat into the corporate/landlord e: toilet paper is more appropriate.

Assuming it’s not cached and sent next time it talks, of course.

Probably a good starting place would be to take the three apps you need most, and just search the web for guides to running them on Linux. That’ll give you an indication of how much work you might/not be in for.

e: also if a guide says “just run this shell script” even chance it’s not just that simple.

Yeah, that’s why it’s the chaotic neutral solution… We would need to organise food, water, comms and energy supplies almost immediately. We’d to have to work together, and that is chaotic.

I think a fun way to protest would be to stop the economy. Just all simultaneously stop working and spending, stay home and spend time with our families.

Only their word until someone does it with a sniffer. E: I suppose, or looks the source but someone answered better now.

If they’re games, protondb (.com) will tell you how well you can expect them to run. Other stuff, it’s often a case of search the web or try and see. Wine takes some getting used to, you’ll probably have to get your hands dirty and do a little learning.

We’re just waiting for the environment to correct that problem.

It’s owned by money, not people. I left with apis and 3rd party apps. Glad I did, quality has taken a real noise dive. Now I just read from old. If there’s a reason, without logging in.

I suppose, could be harm reduction. Like peeling a bandaid off slowly instead of ripping it off.

They’re here, they might not be everywhere yet, but they’re here to stay as much as photoshopped images or trick photography are. Just more lies to hide the truth.

All we can do now is get better at dealing with them.

Try lots of therapists until you find the right one, don’t waste your time on ones that don’t (e: help) - you might as well talk to a wall.

Reality: therapy is expensive, wait lists are long. And half the reason you’re feeling like this in the first place is because of how much harder it’s getting to keep ourselves fed, clothed and sheltered.

If only it worked that way in practice eh.

We found these marijuanas in his pocket, they were already in evidence bags for us even.

The model that can separate the fact from fiction and falsehood will be worth far more than any model creating fiction and falsehood.

Same, and I don’t like it, idk why exactly but I think because too many other things already get referred to as such.

Oh, right. Microsoft is a corp. They don’t care about the harm they do until it costs them money.

e: also, I love to bash on ms, but they’re not the problem here. These things are being built all over the place… In companies, in governments, in enthusiasts back yard. You can tell Microsoft, Google, Apple to stop developing the code, you can tell nvidia to stop developing cuda. It’s not going to matter.

Ah, so more like self-harm prevention, gotcha.

I guess like any tool, whether it is help or harm depends on the user and usage.

Everyone is. As time and tech progresses, you’re going to find that it becomes increasingly difficult to avoid without going off-grid entirely.

Do you really think corps aren’t going to replace humans with AI, any later than they can profit by doing so? That states aren’t going eventually to do the same?
