Nope it’s the e privacy directive, a common mistake is to blame the GDPR for that though.

Wisdom.

Shave that shit, man.

No you’ve complained and insinuated there are plenty of other solutions that the world class team at Signal, literally the preminent experts in their field, chose not to use - and then offered to some truly next level terrible options.

Their leadership team is not overpaid relative to the industry and they are highly deserved of those salaries. They make an excellent product. The point isn’t that the leadership team makes 5mil between them, a drop in the bucket of the 50mil total operating cost. It’s hard to read your comment as anything but disingenuous.

Also nativity scenes! Tis the season to find some great terrain pieces

Literally this. This is the answer.

I can definitely recommend Sue Burke’s “Dual Memory” for a near future, if-not-all-powerful-AI, an AI-becomes-sentient-and-what-is-our-relationship-to-machine-intelligence story! Just powered through it over the weekend. It does a great job of personifying and embodying a recently self aware ai sentience as it works with a protagonist to save their climate-catastrophe-future city from disaster.

Pure psychopaths and masochists.

Yep. And then there’s gamepass. I vastly vastly prefer working and using Linux day to day, but games, man. Man’s gotta be able to game after a long day at work and I wasted literally a week of after work hours trying and failing to get Starfield to run on Proton.

I’m too active on stable diffusion to not get ai triggers from that image.

Reading TOS and Privacy Policies are a useless endeavor. They aren’t written to empower consumers or inform them abou their meaningful choices, they’re written to disclaim the maximum amount of liability. That said, I agree with everything else you said. Data brokers, surveillance advertising, and the lack of any meaningful regulations are what got us into this mess - but all those wrongs can be righted. California just passed a law to let you delete your information from every registered data broker, forever. When given the choice consumers universally opt out of surveillance advertising. And though they’re aligning on opt out frameworks, more and more states are paying comprehensive consumer privacy laws. There’s some reason to be optimistic - but as someone in those trenches… not THAT optimistic.

You think you’re a pragmatist, but you’re just an ignorant fool.

My dude the Crypto wars get wheeled out again every few years and has for decades at this point. It’s so tiring.

Does the author let them off the hook though? She excoriates them in basically every line.
