I fucking hate this day. Especially when it’s “hey, here’s something obviously cool that we should make, right? Nah, April Fools!” Get a better joke. Whole internet becomes a trash heap today with low effort gotchas. Not to mention this specifically is a 5 year old prank anyways.
be more charitable
Says the guy who said I shit on his birthday cake lmao. I’m not offended btw, I thought it was hilarious. But like, I think we’re more like brothers who pick on each other now. I’m sorry, but that’s just the rules. I don’t make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.
Honestly? I just don’t really like that reddit behaviour of regurgitating the previous person’s comment and passing it off as your own unique idea, that’s all.
“We know who they are. We don’t really need due process. I’m not one of those people so nothing bad could ever happen to me so I don’t care”
Seriously, the amount of times I see violations of civil/human rights being acceptable because they’re “the enemy” is really sad. Do you have no self awareness? That’s EXACTLY what they’re doing to you. Stop being a pot of crabs pulling us back in. Be better.
So … What you’re saying, it’s that there would be less oversight when it comes to choosing their targets. Almost exactly like OP said. Almost like they were speaking in broad strokes and you failed to notice any nuance.
I’m at such a loss for words having read such ignorance spouted as truth. You are truly a master sophist.
A magical person delivering mail instead of a soulless automated machine? The value of human experience and interactions? I didn’t say it was the core message, I said it was a message in all his movies. A “theme” or “motif”, if you will.
Tell me you’ve never seen a Studio Ghibli movie without telling me you’ve never seen a single Studio Ghibli movie. Literally every one of them contains some “advancing technology isn’t necessarily a good thing and the old ways have value” message. If AI were personified in one of their movies, it’d be a oozing black oil demon monstrosity spitting soot into the air.
It’d be like Banksy doing advertisement for Nestle. It’s just so contrary to the message they put out.
So again, this isn’t for day to day use. It’s for extreme situations, like being on top of a mountain where laying lines is difficult and warzones where explosions are constantly destroying your infrastructure.
You’re speaking out of your ass. Even if we just talk about the US, “most people already live in an urban area” is false. Have you seen the Midwest?!? Rocky mountains? Appalachian mountains? You’re so beyond ignorant of the issue and you just keep doubling down.
You should stop before you continue to expose your gross ignorance on the subject.
You realize the most significant use of satellite internet right now is Ukraine, right? Like you’re aware that this has almost nothing to do with the US and is about starlink/Elon fucking with Ukraine and the internet they provide the military fighting in a war. Right? Like you’re not that oblivious, right? You’re not jumping in here suggesting they lay cat6 in a warzone are you? Cus that would just be foolish and make you look like a jackass, which I’m sure you’re not.
Ummm we did? My pixel 9 pro is noticably smaller than my pixel 6 pro, much to my delight. Maybe stop buying the XL tablet phones and you’ll find they’re actually a reasonable size again. So many people in the comments rallying against an issue that isn’t even there. You’re just being told this is an issue. Do you even check for yourselves?
…so… content filters when? Let me limit it to certain subjects and I don’t need social media anymore 😂
I literally posted a comment back then saying “sure is odd that this is happening right before the US election. Not saying it means anything, but maybe it’s not a coincidence?” and got downvoted to hell lmao.
You miss my meaning. All the servers that your info passes through, all the cell towers, etc, can and in many cases do track you(even as just routine loggings). Thinking that running anything makes you more secure while connecting to a giant public network is naive.
You know the towers log data too, right? And that websites themselves can track you regardless of what OS you use, right?
Privacy is good, but stop with this “Linux is a magic weapon” BS.
Agreed. I think when most people hear “able to sense magnetic fields”, they think it means you can always point to North. It’s more like being able to feel temperature or proprioception(your ability to sense where your body is). I think it’s another dataset that gets added to our mental calculations, we just can’t pinpoint that exact “sense” and use it actively.
Yeah, you can definitely tell the show was filtered through the lense of “what will the average person understand”. I just appreciated the focus on actually building something vs just seeing the business side of it.
It’s definitely satire, but I feel Silicon Valley did a decent job. Yes they absolutely made things up, but it was more about the backend and pushing updates and servers being erased because someone accidentally sat a drink on a keyboard.
I agree with this. The tie looks too business/professional. The bowtie has a certain charm. But it needs to be like “neon bus seat” design. You know the one I’m talking about. Or like water cups from the 90s.
It’s from 2020. It literally predates ChatGPT. Google it and you’ll find the fake trailers on YouTube with dates.
