It’s more symbolic to force your enemy to bend the knee.

Nah she didn’t get rejected. She got what she asked for. Courting is a long game.

Personally, it helps reduce noise pollution in my residential street at all hours. We get a lot of hoons otherwise.

This is why when celebrity Lara Bingle’s career took a bit of a nose dive, it was funny as hell. But it’s not a commonly used word in my social group.

I dual boot. It’s so painful to go back to windows but some work related software doesn’t run at all in Wine. Perhaps I should VM W10 or W11.

I’m fine with that. My issue is primarily theft and permissions and the way your committee is running it should be the absolute baseline of how models gather data. Keep up the great work. I hope that this practice becomes mainstream.

This is what happens when mental healthcare is not accessible to people.

West African peanut stew but you’d need a place to get a huge bag of berebere spice.

And that AI has been trained on data that has been stolen, taking away the livelihood of thousands more. Further, the environmental destruction will have the capacity to destroy millions more.

I’m not lost on the benefits; it can be used to better society. However, the lack of policy around it, especially the pandering to corporations by the American judicial system, is the crux here. For me, at least.

Not according to the gen z who I was chatting to. Also, rage quit would have made no sense in that specific context.

Right at the start, there were sometimes the “you wouldn’t steal a car” warning about pirating movies but there never has been ads in the middle of whatever you were watching.

This is why I never gave up on DVDs, even though people would laugh. As soon as Prime shoehorned ads in the middle of a show or movie, that’s when I cancelled. I’ll have to do the same with music and get my iPod battery fixed up if I can.

I know. I was being facetious.

IHNIWTM

My latest one was rq.

I thought it was a typo.

It stands for ‘real quick’.

Why privatise though? Or if you do privatise, pass legislation to make data trading illegal unless you pay the person whose data is bring traded or make it outright illegal. Or figure out a way to make the data completely useless. Perhaps banning advertising and marketing or limiting what they can do. So many possibilities for a better future than this.

Heck, I have a tech literate friend who can’t handle Linux but I think if you’re willing to be tech support like my husband is for his parents, the transition is easier.

Probably the more desirable dystopian future, to be honest.

How about… People are paid as age verifiers. Win, win. More jobs, lower chance of data being stolen, maybe more awkwardness if you came across your partner on the other end of the teleconference call.

Or, how about this, bring back porn theatres. Industry gets paid from ticket sales, you have a ticket person who can ask for ID.

Also, is porn really that damaging to kids? I remember when there were videos circulating from beheadings and that was far more traumatising.

I feel like even those games will be banned if we don’t stop them now. My thoughts are that games like ‘I am Jesus’ is the end goal here.
