This pithy, stupid comment is completely missing the forest for the trees. Most of these people have long histories of being the villain. Treating them as villains because of their history of being villains isn't what caused them to be villains.

Does Sweden have a definition for "extent wokeism," or is it just a term idiots like to throw around because they don't understand issues, like in the US?

No you don't find it interesting. You view your complete lack of understanding of reality as a cudgel you can use to move the goalposts again. The nebulous "left" isn't for war. Anyone with a shred of morality wants to keep bigger nations from invading & occupying their smaller neighbors, especially when they're trade partners.

This about sums up my feelings on the topic, thanks for taking the time to put your thoughts into words

These guys need to pick a damn lane, is it ok to steal data to train your chatbot or not? You can't have it both ways.

Thank you so much for the tool you've built, and for being so generous in how you license it. Sublime is always installed on my machine, Sublime Merge is great too :)

That's exactly what it is. The people breathlessly compiling a list of "what abouts" for this type of corruption need to look past their nose. 2 things can be fucked up at the same time, and one of those things being fucked up isn't an excuse for the other thing to continue being fucked up.

Also, when one of those "what abouts" is verifiably false, as in the case of the guy who made claims about Hunter's laptop, it's completely meaningless. Those people are comparing to something that doesn't even exist.

It's a stupid, losing game that way too many people want to play.

At the risk of "what about"-ing, this list is laughably small compared to the Trump's bribe docket.

Neither of these are acceptable, a president and their associates should not be able to personally enrich themselves from the office. I know this disclaimer won't matter to someone who just really wants to argue, but this does absolutely nothing to move the needle for me. Pointing to someone else's corruption to excuse Trump's corruption is just a losing battle, you will never convince me to care about one when the other is just allowed to fly.

Yeah that's the only reason for sure, has nothing to do with the existing regulations on vehicle dimensions or the fact these things crumble or explode if you glance in their direction.

AfD is not the oldest, or even that old of a party. And they absolutely are neo Nazis. Not sure if you're thinking about another party, or just sympathetic to their garbage worldview, but ignorance isn't an excuse to carry water for Nazis.

God I'm so tired of these pathetic attempts at evading the point. No, it's not against the principles of democracy to fight back against someone trying to destabilize your democracy. The tolerance paradox applies here, Elon is begging, daring the UK to do something, and all is fair in love and war.

I think you know that's not what the comment is saying. They're saying people who fall victim to these scams would be less likely to talk about it, knowing they'll be the Internet's lolcow for a day. That hurts everyone, because now a scam is getting less coverage, leading to more people falling for it.

Has nothing to do with recognizing it as a scam in the moment it's happening. They're talking about what comes after falling for the scam.

You should step into the real world occasionally if you take any issue with this thread. You're fortunate if this feels outlandish to you.

I say this a lot. Growing up, being interested in tech, I was so excited by the future. Now that we're here, a bunch of greedy tech bros have sufficiently killed all the dreams I had about the world with tech, and now it's just an utter disappointment.

All the people who ushered this terrible new world in by passively consuming, moving into walled gardens, turning off any semblance of critical thinking, justifying it with "but where, in this age of endless digital communication options, where I talk to my friends and family?" Or "I'm ok with targeted advertising because it removes the effort I need to exert to find things I want to buy."

This nation is the embodiment of greed, sloth, and pride. Foolish, ignorant people, refusing to use the tools we have to access the entirety of human knowledge, gleefully falling for any bullshit their favorite "influencer" is hawking today, are as much or more to blame than the people who set up the rat mazes for them to run through all day.

We welcomed and begged for this. It's hard to not be angry at the way things went, but as much as I hate the tech bros who ruined technology, I think more of the blame deserves to be placed on the people throwing themselves into the engagement machine, letting themselves be duped by easily disproven nonsense because it's easier and more comfortable to not critically think about what they're seeing and hearing.

I'm risking turning this into a screed, if I haven't already. I'm pissed off and disappointed, but the longer this goes on the less surprised I am by any new distopian shit I hear. Sci-fi writers of old would be fainting seeing the shit they couldn't dream up happening every day now. It just sucks.

I'll never understand how LastPass still has any users at all. They've done an excellent job over the years of showing us they are not a serious company, and their security standards are nowhere near adequate.

God damnit, all I want is one nook of the Internet where AI isn't being foisted on me.

Still? You're still skeptical, after all these decades of research & being able to draw direct, 1:1 lines between lead exposure and the health issues it causes?

There's plenty of room for debate on how to fix this problem. The debate on if it's a problem has been dead for decades, if not centuries.

I bet you could answer your questions all by yourself if you read the article.

The Rust language is what he's saying will put him out of a job, over tim as it replaces C (the language I'm guessing they work with professionally).

I finally gave in to all the word of mouth marketing and moved to Hetzner about a month ago.

Fuck.

This exploit picks up audio, too. The shutter helps make sure you're not accidentally sending nudes to North Korea's hacking teams, but audio can still be hijacked unfortunately.

Eat them.

The video is unavailable, but it's the intro song for the tv show Weeds, isn't it?

Sure, but people don't split hairs this hard in everyday conversation. Everyone will knoe what you mean when you say someone "cried wolf," it means they raised an alarm about nothing.

My catchphrase for a while has been "business ruins everything it touches." And before someone swoops in to try and convince me otherwise, save your breath. I'm not interested in hearing the positives of business, I will ignore outright anything pointing to "you wouldn't have THIS without business!"-type replies, and I don't want to reduce this thought further.

From my perspective, business ruins everything it touches, whether right away or slowly over time through enshittification.

This is the reason I don't push back too hard on people who hold this belief. The reality is honestly not that far off from their 1984 fever dreams.

It's dead on arrival considering the source. I avoid Oracle out of principle, and my memory of what a shit org they are. It could do my laundry and place winning bets for me and I'd still look for a similar product from almost anyone else.

I'd read it! :) I want to understand Shiv, but I haven't even gotten it to work after a few hours tinkering, and that's usually where I give up and look to another tool.

That's a good point about phone VPNs! It feels like this would be counter to someone's recommended best practice, but now I'm curious and might try this on my own :)

Well done
