Now, sing with me: “Only in America…”

Companies want to pull all our computing into their cloud services. It’s an end for personal computers if they manage to make this reality. I suspect the price hikes for components are manufactured to make this happen.

The ”Droid” you’re talking about isn’t Google.

Conflating the company Google, Android operating system and every company that makes phones running Android is a common mistake people make.

Oil is one hell of a drug if you happen to be the United States of America. You do just about anything to get more.

By not taking a stand. At all. We’re still buying Russian gas and funding their war effort against Europe. Many years we have written stern statements judging the Russian aggression, but not doing anything to stop it. Our factories churn out weapons and ammunition which we sell to Ukraine, making money on their misery.

Fuck those nazis.

And a right to terminate the system any time they see fit, possibly leaving customers unable to access their purchased content.

Time to ditch Android and go to Linux.

The best killswitch is called Librewolf. Another good one is Waferfox.

All the money in Russian assets should be given to Ukraine in form of aid and weapons.

But, there is money to be made on the war so of course loaning that money is a way better option to bankers and wealthy businessmen around Europe.

I’ve used Librewolf for my main browser more than a year now and have had no problems with any logins or staying logged in. Strange.

Yeah, I read it but wrote what I suspect as outcome will be.

So they release another somewhat sternly worded statement?

How about forking Firefox and make that into an AI browser instead of ruining the good old Firefox?

How corrupt can they get before just saying “we’re corrupt, deal with it?”

So should we take rights away from mentally handicapped people and children under certain age?

The difference is that animals, including humans can and do feel. Both mentally and physically. Artificial intelligence does not and will not. We or it itself can make it imitate feeling things, but that’s only learned behaviour.

We haven’t granted basic rights to animals, so why should we treat artificial intelligence any different?

I think it should always be in a sandbox. You decide what files or folders you drop in.

Why the hell would anybody give an AI access to their full hard drive?

You can trust the government of the PRC to handle all your “re-educational” needs, they have camps!

I disagree. That way those nazi-wannabes will be on tv and other media traditionally viewed as more legitimate than new media giving creedence to their hateful messaging. That leads to other hateful people to believe they too have right to spout hate. That leads to more hate being in circulation and that does not lead to anything good.
