It certainly sucks, but he was in his late 60’s when it happened. He’s almost 80 now.

He’s had a great and full life, and he has great care; most people don’t get either of those things. Aging sucks.

Wait… You’re telling me that people born into extreme privilege and wealth turn out to be self-aggrandizing, egotistical, sociopaths who drastically over-estimate their own importance and contribution to society?

My world view is shook!

There really should be a focus on government-level efforts in the EU, to force mobile manufacturers to standardise and open source all firmware sold in its jurisdiction. All OSS mobile OS’s (not on custom OSS hardware) rely on Android solutions because mobile hardware is bespoke, closed source, and non-standard from device to device; the opposite to the PC ecosystem that enabled Linux. The Apple/Android duopoly won’t be broken if mobile hardware vendors can continue creating custom closed-source firmware for their hardware, and there’s simply no reason to allow this anti-competitiveness to continue.

How could an animal that has perfected <evading detection> evade our detection?

Truly the noodlest of noodle scratchers.

This is how public money should be spent. Every dollar spent on proprietary code is money wasted. Every dollar spent on public code benefits every other country, org, and individual who runs that software. It reduces the cost for everyone, in perpetuity, instead of enriching some sociopathic technofascist and their oligarch investors.

The less likely Israel is to murder them.

There is no way Israel will allow them into Gaza.

This would almost make sense if there weren’t thousands of corporations, and 8 billion other humans, doing whatever the fuck they want…

Username is accurate

Failed state is collapsing. Here’s Tom with the weather.

Definitely don’t look into the history of genocide then, because there are dozens of them in recorded history, and every single one is littered with the most indefensible horrors imaginable.

Also, Macklemore released a song titled after the resulting student protests, not long after.

AI or real?

It’s like people who manage their tasks by simply writing them down on paper…

You fucking what!?! How am I supposed to manage hundreds of tasks with a piece of paper… They won’t fit. What if I lose the paper? How do I filter the tasks by location, date, time, or any other context? Your ancient methods are pure insanity to me.

Protons’ copy is always encrypted. E2EE doesn’t apply when the recipient is on an external mail server (unless you explicitly encrypt it with their public PGP key).

This still provides the major benefit of encrypting your email archive, and protection from data breach.

To frame it another way; they were enshittified by the infinite-profit-growth fallacy and corruption of capitalism.

Not if they continue using the Nazi propaganda machine.

Ooh! You card read good!

It’s almost too easy

I would suggest investigating how much effort it would take to alter your voice. Is it possible to do it live, or does it take post processing? There’s no harm in doing it unless you meet up with internet people in the real world. Even then it may not really be an issue.

I’ve felt the same about parsing my comments via an AI because, using stylometry, a small sample of your comments are enough to de-anonymize all of your online accounts. It ultimately required too much effort and friction, plus I have decades of comments already out there so whatevs. I’m not here to fuck spiders.

Where’s Luigi at?
