99% of the crap and fraud comes from ads, aka Google. Thanks, Google. Just run an ad blocker, there goes most of the scams you'll see.

Also putting QR codes before every webpage doesn't make the web less shitty. It obviously makes it more shitty. And this will 100% be used for fraud. Phishing websites can get away with QR codes now, great.

I don't understand this position at all. In the console space, Nintendo makes the cheapest console and it's not even that close. The switch originally launched at 300 dollars. Keep in mind their competitors are well into 700+ dollar land.

The steam deck is more expensive as well, and the switch 2 is much more powerful than the steam deck.

Both the gnome project and KDE have HI guidelines.

Also, I don't understand how this is magically better on mac os. Mac os doesn't have electron apps? Get real, it's the same bullshit on every desktop OS. At least we can all agree it's more consistent than windows.

But how? You can install Linux and android apps on chrome os. I understand this perspective might intuitively make sense, but we need to analyze if it's actually true.

In the case of air travel where you're, presumably, going to travel either way, I think it can work out. But it only works out if you travel A LOT. Even a moderate amount of travel means you don't win out with the cost of membership.

Kind of, but one benefit of TUIs is text buffering. Part of the reason you were able to go lightning fast in those old TUIs is your inputs would be buffered and then replayed when the application become responsive. Inputs weren't dropped, so even if you were moving faster than the application could keep up (or the network) it would still function predictably.

This was mostly lost in web applications and most desktop applications. Inputs are dropped and lost during processes, page refresh or navigation. It means that while these applications can sometimes be used with a keyboard, they can't be used reliably or predictably. The same inputs would have different effects based on the time of day or network load.

Everyone does have inherently equal value, but our systems are structured in such a way to advantage particular people more. That's just the reality of it.

Yes ideally we would want to live in a world where the patriarchy doesn't exist, or where whiteness as a concept doesn't exist. But we are not in that world. So when we have movements such as these, we have to understand they're not coming from a place of unfairness or inequality. They're coming from a place of the establishment, the status-quo, the power, wishing to maintain their power.

You don't get any moral highground here, sorry. It's not as simple as those who believe in equal value versus those who don't. The world is complicated, such as naive and simple world view as the equalivent of "I don't see color" doesn't hold up to any amount of scrutiny or analysis. You may not wish to see it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

It could be the Pepsi sip test problem. Pepsi does well in sip testing, better than coke, but most people report liking coke better. Why? Pepsi is slightly sweeter, which means it tastes better for the first sip or two. But, in the long run, coke wins out because it's a bit less sweet and therefore more tolerable for a whole drink.

It's possible they tested touch screens with people using prototypes and whatnot but did not do their due diligence to test it long-term. On first impression, touch screens seem cool, futuristic, and flashy. It's really only when you try to daily drive the car that you realize they're annoying and a regression from physical buttons.

But, they present very well on sales room floors and car shows.

Feminism was a progressive movement - this is a regressive movement, meaning a move back to a time of greater misogyny, greater racism, and greater inequality. What is happening is that as white men slowly lose power and social currency in corporate America, they enter a mode of desperation, as they try to claw back as much currency as they can.

These low-effort comparisons to previous movements don't work, because this isn't the underdogs coming up or anything like that. This is THE status-quo trying to maintain it's status-quo status as they feel it slipping. It's sort of similar to how Trump was able to campaign on his anti-establishment message, while he himself IS the establishment.

White men are not the victims in all of this, and are certainly not the victims in corporate America. They run corporate America. This shift highlights a larger society-wide shift to conservatism and the far-right. While we had a small window of progressiveness in the 2010s which landed up many wins, such as the legalization of gay marriage, society is once again closing in as the top brass starts to feel their way of life is threatened.

Christians are not being victimized by other people calling them stupid or whatever. We have religious freedom, people are allowed to believe whatever they want. That doesn't mean that everyone has to keep silent, though.

Ironically, the only people victimizing Christians are grifters like this dude, who promise and sell them something they don't need and that won't work. This phone network grift is no different than those TV pastors who own private jets.

Andrew Tate is a raging misogynist, the Mormon church is built from the ground up on misogyny. Seems like a match made in heaven.

There is a lot of value, it's just that children are very bad at estimating value. That's why they'd rather spend all their time eating candy and going to the skate park - they're children. Apparently some adults see it that way, too, which is shocking to me.

Again, kids do not need to speedrun being cogs in the machines. Could SOME of them hypothetically become millionaires like 5 years earlier?

I mean... I guess? But that's frankly one of the stupidest justifications for anything ever that I have ever heard. The reality is 99.9999% of people are destined for the same thing: a normal career, with a normal salary. Most people are not going to be "entrepreneurs", and most "entrepreneurs" that I have met are not even entrepreneurs, they're scam artists. Which is a different thing, although you could say technically they're both self-made.

Look, it's a game of average. Are there SOME people out there who could benefit from less education? Sure. For the majority of people, education leads to higher lifetime income, and it's not even close. We have the statistics on this. We don't know ahead of time which one someone will be. So, we should optimize for the best odds.

> hose who have suffered for following the standard advice never seem to get a mention in these discussions.

No no, those people get WAY too much mention. What actually doesn't get enough mention are the people who are forced into lifetime poverty because they never graduated high school and are therefore essentially unemployable. Which is about 10,000x more common than the Bill Gates types. So, give me fucking break.

I know some people who didn't graduate high school, and I know a lot of people who opted to go straight into the workforce post highschool instead of getting a degree. None of those people are doing good.

I don't know what test you did, but this definitely doesn't work at all anymore with modern models, gay or not gay.

That's the authors guess for why it works, but they're only guessing that because of their bias. In actuality, I imagine other role play would work too, including role play that does not involve "politically correct" parties.

I think literally not a single soul on Earth believes anything even close to this. This is a strawman. You wish people who vaguely disagreed with you are this stupid, but unfortunately, they're not.

People don't like Elon Musk because he's a piece of shit. The CCP sucks too, maybe, but it's all the way over there. Also the CCP is an organization, but Elon musk is a dude. It's a lot easier to hate a dude.

Also, most chinese models are open-weight. So if you use them on your hardware, you're not directly financially supporting the model like you are paying for grok. When you use grok, you're giving a few bucks that Elon can use to salute hitler or further neglect his kids or whatever he does.

12-16 year olds still do not have the restraint to be essentially self educating. I'm sorry, but this is a bad bad idea. The primary focus of children should be education.

They have their whole entire lives to be a cog in the capitalist machine. We don't need to speedrun children getting a soul crushing office job. They can spend time learning how to critically analyze text or how to learn choreography for a musical.

You can use something and simultaneously hate it. For example, smoking.

That's not to say AI is addictive. It's probably not.

But, if all your classmates are using AI then maybe the workload increases to compensate. Then, you have no choice but to use AI. We see this pattern with companies all the time. They often don't want to advertise aggressively or employ dark patterns. But their competitors do, and then eventually the only way to stay competitive is to join them.

It's a function of our society becoming more puritan and conservative in the past 10-15 years. This has been a slow burn.

We are back to perceiving viewing boobies as an existential threat to people. Currently, sexuality is being demonized all around, and sexual morality is once again becoming a currency in society.

I encourage people to talk to some Gen Z kids. They're much more puritan than millennials. They're focused on virginity and the moral superiority of monogamy. It's bizarre.

> Why? Presumably so they can go to college and get a high paying job that may not exist in 10 years?

Also so they don't end up stupid and useless like a potted plant. People with too little education are easy to manipulate and dim. They're perfect fodder for the propaganda machines.

It would be nice if we could just let kids loose like wild animals and they'd, somehow, figure everything out. But no, we actually have to try. Otherwise they end up illiterate and eating so much candy they throw up. Because they're kids.

Less education, more peddling products on Instagram is... certainly an opinion that exists.

It depends on what you're restricting and why. Restricting access to things based on age can absolutely be ageism if the thing does not need to be restricted.

Yes, using an Nvidia GPU is absolutely failing to hold it right. Nvidia has shit support on Linux and they do it intentionally, everybody knows that.

You can blame Linux all you want but there's nothing anybody can do except Nvidia. The whole thing is locked down, no distro or developer on Earth can save Nvidia users.

Laptops notoriously have rare hardware with poor or non-existent drivers. For laptops, you do need to do research with Linux to make sure things outside of the CPU/GPU work.

And, of course macs work first try. Apple makes both the hardware and software, if it didn't work it would be extremely impressive. The fact it's working is expected, not exceptional or noteworthy.

It is definitely a possibility, for granny like I pointed out. Not for this person, who is aware of the risk and does not want to side load apps.

Like I said, they would have to somehow forget their own beliefs. Doesn't seem likely to me.

I'm not against self driving cars. Self driving cars are an improvement over not self driving cars.

But self driving cars are not public transit. That's a grift that the people making the self driving cars are selling, so they can sell a bunch of self driving cars. The most prominent example is the hyperloop in vegas.

Self driving cars will not solve the traffic, safety, time, or cost concerns around cars. They will help a little bit, marginal gains. But they will not solve it because it's not a departure from the status quo, it's just a continuation of it.

People generally don't want to use it because we design everything exclusively for cars, so cars are more convenient. At the cost of increased risk of death, increased travel time, increased land cost, etc.

In the US, because the US is very bad at building public infrastructure. Or, lately, building anything.

Right, which is a subsidy.

Of course it's relevant. How copyright infringement happens doesn't actually matter, all that matters is that the infringement happened.

If I painstakingly recreate A New Hope frame by frame, pixel by pixel, that's infringement. Even if I technically used 0 content from the original.

The "learning" isn't learning really. I mean it might be, but if you define learning to be a human endeavor than AI can't learn.

It's perfectly reasonable to say it's okay for humans to do something but not okay for a computer program to do the same thing. We don't have to equate AI to humans, that's a choice and usually a bad one.
