I hope that this is a true story

Anything that has an intransparent, engagement driving, ad laden algorithm that determines what you do and don’t see is thoroughly unappealing to me. At least now that I’m a little more tech savvy and anti-corporate.

Hear hear. Under the guise of Engagement, corporations have weaponized algorithms to maximize the time you spend on their platforms, and it’s absolutely been a race to the bottom, prioritizing Outrage above all else. Hard pass, thanks.

Corporate goals don’t align with that of users like they used to.

Flute! I started learning it last December, it’s been nearly a year and I’ve learned SO much. Going to keep at it and get even better!

It’s The Onion all the way down

I thought everything went crooked the day Harambe died

It’s not AI, it’s an LLM. It doesn’t know what misinformation is because it doesn’t Know anything

Oooof, too true

It’s meant as a comparison in terms of Moral Crusades via Prohibition tactics. I have a feeling that a “ban” on pornography will likely end the same way, with hyperbolic responses and lives disrupted to no positive resolutions. But it really seems untenable as a concept, that genie is so far out of the bottle that there is no bottle anymore; only the whole entire internet

Hilarious. As if this could ever actually be instituted nationwide. Regulations on sale and access maybe, but moral crusades like this are perpetually doomed to failure, much like the War on Drugs.

Doesn’t mean they won’t try, won’t posture, won’t grandstand about it, but to actually succeed in this goal when over 50% of the populace isn’t going to be behind it? I guess we’ll just have to watch them try.

It honestly isn’t that card to take a can of diced tomatoes and throw it on the frying pan, add some garlic, olive oil, salt, and herbs of your choosing, reduce to a suitable volume, good to go. I’m surprised more people don’t do that.

Feel free to share your recipe though, I’d be curious how others do it

I’m still daydreaming of a Rachel Notley federal run

These look basic

Oh, Black Walnut, that’s what those are

Most useful application

I read it and recall enjoying it, but it’s far from my favorite PKD, and I honestly don’t remember much about it.

I’m absolutely looking for a real answer, not here to downvote or troll.

When you say “the tech is useful” I don’t see it that way from my perspective because I can’t think of any specific scenarios for this tech to prove valuable to me, in terms of the way that I interface with an OS.

What I’m hoping for from you is a Use Case; what specific application of this tech would you, the End User, find to be a vast improvement in the way that you interface with Windows?

I’m not going to downvote you, because I’m genuinely curious: Why would this be a “very important can’t-live-without feature”, what’s the argument?

Because from where I’m sitting as a user of various Windows & Linux products for several decades, this has never been anything I’ve asked for or needed, let alone wanted to take up >20Gb of my hard drive space. What is the Use Case sales pitch that convinced you?

Garbage that wasted my time reading most of it. Thanks, internet

“Fairness” has got nothing to do with politics, and Poilievre knows that and utilizes it in his politics every single day.
