This AI debate is hilarious. Especially from a privacy standpoint, because if anyone were all that concerned about their privacy, they wouldn't be posting sensitive stuff to things they don't control, if at all.

Add to that society trends towards an increasing population, societal pressure that frowns on any talk of how to stabilize or even decrease the population, and our ever increasing reliance on various black boxes that we dont even begin to understand, and you can see we're heading in a direction that goes against privacy whether we want it or not.

Easier to encourage people to make the conscious effort to not post what they dont want public than it is to change all the platforms involved.

Because defacing an ancient site has a clear connection to the environment... bunch of fucking self-centered attention-whores.

"Prominent figures" - artificially manufactured entertainers are prominent figures in terms of news?

Oh man, good thing they're fixing this. The camera being disabled means that there was absolutely zero way to reverse in a safe manner. Such a critical component of vehicles should absolutely get addressed as soon as possible! If you're parked in a garage, BE SAFE PEOPLE! Reversing is DANGEROUS! More so if you don't have a camera!

So how long until our options in dodging the endless waves of shitty ads have completely gone? Sure, there might not be indication of it now, but it's probably a safe bet that Mozilla will try and pull some of the same shit Brave did in regards to ads/adblocking.

Thank fuck the internet as a whole is getting so shitty to the point it encourages us to go do something else. Turns out that avoiding the internet as a whole results in feeling a hell of a lot better about things in general.

Yeah, it wasn't a solution; they just have no idea WTF they're doing in regards to the game's simulation.

Saw the headline, came in thinking "I know there's a federated version, but can't remember the name" and BAM! there it is; Abidan in with the save!

The only news I care to hear about people wealthy enough to throw away others' year's salary for trends like this... is if and when they get punted square in the nuts.

So far, it's been slow news on that front.

<laughs in massive data breaches>

We willingly purchase devices that listen and watch our every move... to be added to private, corporate databases that get sold around like cheap prostitutes. At least with government databases, voting gives at least a teeny, tiny modicum of control.

And even better, while I cant name specific breaches in relation to global populations, it's a safe bet most everyone else is compromised as well.

On the bright side, at least it makes random identity theft occurring to any one particular individual akin to winning the PowerBall.

Neither, as they rely on Firefox. Waterfox, while decent, does raise an eyebrow as it was bought out by an ad company. LibreWolf is only good as long as the underlying Firefox code it's built on stays as pliable as it is.

And before you ask, I dont actually recommend any browser. They're ALL shit. And I quite literally mean ALL.

Now would probably be a good time to mention private trackers. GGn usually has everything, isn't too hard to maintain good standing, and has a relatively decent community.

Damn it Champy, we told you no snacking on the tourists!

Maybe they're just aware that the Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuthin' to fuck with...

Who the fuck are they, and why the fuck would anyone care?

Everyone claiming to be nice is living a lie and ignoring that everything everyone does ever is essentially motivated by their own self-interests.

Recognizing that makes it a hell of a lot easier to deal with people and avoid buying into the forced bullshit that attempts to force itself into every aspect of life.

Whatever happen to the golden rule of the internet? "Don't feed the trolls".

Or whatever happened to people's ability to just... walk away? Harassment is terrible, but it's the internet. Unless the person is sitting in the same room looking over your shoulder to follow your every move, you can make a new account, block the person, just ignore them... all sorts of options.

The "oh no someone needs to fix my personal issue for me" trend is how we've gotten to where we are now.

"They used his passcode to change the 46-year-old’s Apple ID password. They also enabled a hard-to-find Apple security setting known as the “recovery key.” In doing so, they placed an impenetrable lock on his account."

Because OP is a lazy fuck that wants us to read clickbait headlines.

We're still beating the Covid dead horse?

I'm pretty chuffed with what we have now. Considering it really hasn't been that long that this sort of stuff has even been around, yet the average person can utilize an "AI" in their everyday life without even knowing how to use a computer.

Sure, it's not 100% perfect, but I'll take "stupidly convenient and right 90% of the time" over "takes hours of sifting through blogspam to find useful information that may or may not be correct". Especially when it comes to mundane stuff like writing a resume or things where you have the knowledge, but just not the time.

I look at it as this: If the medical industry can fuck me over three ways from Sunday for a band-aid and an aspirin, well they can afford to fucking pay me for any blood.
