I’m not sure what prompted it, but I recently decided to try Opera. It’s not too bad, but I haven’t researched anything about it either. I’ll be spending more time looking it to it i suppose.

Concur about the lack of black and white. Interestingly enough, a major portion of your list of evils are things that I consider good. Addictive drugs are bad… everything else has a helpful, practical use, but could also be bad if used by a bad person.

I’m really only familiar with Meetup from that list, and yea, I agree. I think they inherently aren’t intending to do harm as a company, but what if domestic terrorists / cultists were to use meetup to find other likeminded individuals? Meetup may be in part responsible for getting harmful people together and they may never be aware of it. Sure, it’s a hypothetical, but not entirely outside the realm of possibility.

IMO, mistreating and underpaying people does make the world worse. It’s not the company mission, but yea… the whole capitalist machine thing. It’s hard to escape the output, which tends to harm at least someone.

There’s exceptions, but almost every company harms at least someone, or some thing through their existence. Maybe not the world as a whole, maybe just a small portion of it, but considering the nature of doing business itself, it’s a difficult problem to get around.

I don’t work for Google, and you’re not wrong, but I am not sure they’re totally wrong either. I honestly believe that a majority of companies around today are making the world worse, at least, for most companies there’s an argument that can be made. I’m having some difficulty thinking of an exception right now.

Due to the sheer number of articles surrounding the AI bubble popping; I’m coming to the conclusion that this has already started.

People that have been windows users for years that have been recently taking steps to remove windows from their lives aren’t going back when they remove AI (also, doubt that is ever happening). They’re pissed off, and if they manage to get their stuff working in Linux there’s absolutely no reason to switch back.

China WILL win the AI race and that’s because they invested in infrastructure and their power grid.

The US could have done that too, but we gave the money to billionaires instead. Building a surveillance state doesn’t fix any of the mistakes we made and they’ll still win the AI race.

Why make the jump to android? What prompted the consideration?

Every. Single. AWS CPU…. Security concern.

An AI that plays ads when you are idle with the mouse.

Not moving the mouse? Time for an ad.

Yea, their logi+ software was sending out a firmware update or something that was bricking something, so now I use my keyboard and mouse without the software.

What?!? That’s crazy!!!

My dad bought one in probably 2006 or something but it died in 2020.

Visio had a good tv during that time.

Was the 3D part ever used? That’s a big “fuck-nah,” but it’s always been that.

I don’t even like Jimmy Kimmel, but I cancelled too. Don’t fuck with the 1st amendment.

Am I the only person that gives no fucks about fonts?

Someone should warn them that the use of Fox News puppets to lead government departments is not only a breach of trust, but also makes the country more vulnerable.
