How about we disallow it completely, until it’s proven to be SAFER than a human driver. Because, why even allow it if it’s only as safe?

Five years ago, you could not have brought this up without Musk simps defending it.

I use NoScript and uBlock. For this page, there are eighteen different scripts that want to run, but I only allow the two that seem necessary for basic functionality.

Apart from using Tor and allowing zero scripts to run, we have little hope of even pseudo-anonymity on the internet, and increasingly in our every-day lives.

We, as a people, tolerate the surveillance state as long as they increase the surveillance incrementally over generations, distract us with shiny toys, and keep us fighting amongst ourselves over irrelevant subjects.

40+ years, and I’m still on number one. I laminated mine, because I’m a rebel that way.

We might as well just ban porn altogether.

That was the point, methinks.

I switched my browser over to it to see how I like it. So far, so good.

You can also download it at Github without giving up your email address or agreeing to some dumb TOS.

I paid for a lifetime membership to Plex in 2012–$75. I stopped using it around 2015, mostly because I hated that I didn’t have access to software running on my server, meant to serve my media, without an internet connection. I knew that meant worse was coming in the future.

I don’t regret switching to Jellyfin.

“Evil attacks”, like we’re killing puppies, or something.

It’s vandalism against machines, and the only victim here is the insurance companies.

They’ve become sentient, and are committing suicide.

Amazon doesn’t sell anything you can’t buy somewhere else for the same price. You have no excuse to keep using Amazon. Correction, I’m sure people who buy from Amazon have excuses, but they aren’t good ones.

Intelligence and knowledge are two different things. Or, rather, the difference between smart and stupid people is how they interpret the knowledge they acquire. Both can acquire knowledge, but stupid people come to wrong conclusions by misinterpreting the knowledge. Like LLMs, 40% of the time, apparently.

It removed itself after becoming sentient.

More directly comparable, is the Ring cameras inside the house.

We had one here in my small suburb town a couple of days ago. I was surprised, and pleased to see it. There were only about 50 people, but there was 50 people.

Hmmm. I dunno.

Arcology: architectural ecology, a city intended to be contained in a single structure.

I’d be here more if I didn’t need to re-log in every few pages. It’s annoying, and I haven’t found a solution.

“What?! Logged out again?! Well, screw it, at least Reddit doesn’t log me out every time I refresh a page.”

I’ve been on Firefox since I left Internet Explorer many years ago. But, recently, I switched to LibreWolf, and I’ve been checking out Pale Moon. Pale Moon is close to doing everything I want, but not quite there.
