Because they’re also rich. Laws are for the poors.

Public micro blogging overall is a bane, so yes.

The difference between clearly documenting features, and hiding or removing them.

First time I saw a Zoomer do that it hurt my soul.

This is actually a good take. Kids aren’t miniature adults, they’re kids. They’re not helpless or useless, but neither are they fully morally and emotionally developed. They need guidance. Plenty of adults can’t responsibly handle internet access. I survived early onilne porn and gore and social media, but it’s not like any of it benefited me in a meaningful way.

Some folks have an attitude that’s like “I touched hot stoves and I learned better”, but that’s far from ideal.

To be fair, at least as of this moment his prior post says Google is “manufacturing consent for”, not “actively supporting”. I believe that the former can be the latter, but is not necessarily the latter.

I’m actually for the idea of emojis for protocols. Not Bitcoin specifically because I don’t think it has long term potential as a deflationary virual asset, but block chain? Sure.

The hero we need rn tbh

Actually agree, generally.

Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme basically, but it’s not the only block chain in town.

Anonymous peer-to-peer financial exchanges can actually be good.

Cooperative ledgers can be good.

Public ledgers can be good.

Looks like it’s written by AI.

Isn’t the old bit about organized crime how they always have a second set of books? After all they do want to be able to track their finances.

Or at this point, the one whose tracking is easiest and safest to avoid or circumvent.

Also mind that soon these new cars will be used cars with the same bullshit.

Gab is for the fringiest of the right wing. And people often cluster disparate ideas together if they’re all considered to be markers of membership within their “tribe”.

Leftists, or at least those on the left wing of liberalism, tend to do this as well, particularly on social and cultural issues.

I think part of it is also a matter of not so much what people believe as what they will tolerate. The vaccine skeptic isn’t going to tolerate an AI bot that tells him vaccines work, but maybe generally oblivious to the Holocaust and thus really not notice or care if and when an AI bot misleads on it. Meanwhile a Holocaust denier might be indifferent about vaccines, but his Holocaust denialism serves as a key pillar of an overall bigoted worldview that he is unwilling to have challenged by an AI bot.

To be fair, TVs from the 90s didn’t have apps, and I don’t actually use the apps on my LG, so it seems fine.

My experience with LG/WebOS has been fine if I don’t try to get online. It doesn’t pester me to do so.

Wasn’t that AI generated?

Yeah, give kids easy to use pocket computers to access social media curated by algorithms designed to increase anxiety/engagement and “games” that are single-player gambling simulations, all of which harvests their data just to better learn how to manipulate them, and wonder why kids feel anxious, isolated, or depressed.

This hurts the over-25s too, just to lesser degrees because their brains are fully developed.

Generations are (mostly) made up. So of course they’re going to shift around a bit while we all try to figure out what major world event or collective experience defines a particular cohort.
