Why though? Why go through the trouble for zero benefit? Not like you’re going to get the support contract that’s tied to these paid, enterprise-level versions.

At least it’s not one of those stupid “reaction face” thumbnails. A clickbait title is easy enough to parse as “not worth my time” but those punchable face thumbnails? Fuck me, the person that started that trend needs to find the nearest running belt sander and start licking.

No real harm, but it’s one more account to manage/worry about.

Flipside is that relying on a singular account is also bad, as now it’s a single point of failure in regards to security.

Oh boohoo, you make 6 figures and have to work some weekends. Get over yourselves or better yet, get a job outside of a cubicle. Every job is going to have it’s good aspects and shitty aspects.

So would you rather work weekends, or up on a roof in the Florida sun?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Welp, looks like we’ll just have to focus on the fun stuff… like railguns and plasma weapons. Hopefully we all live long enough to see the future sci-fi keeps telling us about…

Minus the dystopian part, preferably.

I watched an episode or two, and it’s basically the current generation’s version of GMod Idiot Box.

Mainstream seems filled with bots, and non-mainstream seems filled with the types that those in the mainstream would rather not put up with. <shrug>

I dunno how well it works, or what it requires but https://svgur.com/ exists.

And then every time you sneeze, you end up ordering another case of diapers from Amazon.

Looked at the main homepage… the “not woke” companies seem to be mostly “natural health/holistic” bullshit like you’d hear Alex Jones scream about.

“Patent pending” and already picked up by a major manufacturer. So what this means is basically while it could be a good thing… the article is basically an advertisement for an upcoming product.

Not nearly as good a thing until it gets copied/the patent gets worked around. Also, zero explanation of what was actually done to accomplish this, so again, leaning more towards “this is just advertisement with extra steps”.

It’s like if the Craigslist guy was like “You know what, I think I’m going to open my own outdoor store”. I like the little link to the page about his car. No bragging, no showing off… just a “Hey, this is my car. These are it’s specifications. Check it out.”

Could probably buy something from the site, and request the owner sell it to you only after going out for a beer together, and it’d probably work.

Yeah, that combination of his own self-importance, and his fanbase’s seeming need to slobber all over his knob seems to result in a never-ending circlejerk about such a trash person. Him and that rapist Taint.
