Yeah we’re only around the 2nd pic, thanks. The second set of twenty goes by a lot faster than the first, enjoy today before it’s a memory of times gone by.

- Comment on Thanks to OpenAI, it's never been clearer that Sundar Pichai is Google's Steve Ballmer 8 months ago:
Lots of people here say Proton, but I’d also consider selfhosting my email on either a home server or the cloud, whichever meets my criteria for redundancy to stay online

The photos I take on my cellphone are instantly catalogued, scanned for metadata, and synchronized with my gallery. The app then gives me fun photo displays and reminders of my past daily.

I’m particulay looking for.the functionality of Google Photos, not just a cloud storage solution but a photo catalogue integrated with my camera among other things. Does Proton offer this?
- Comment on Thanks to OpenAI, it's never been clearer that Sundar Pichai is Google's Steve Ballmer 8 months ago:
I wonder if this correlates with my recent desires to de-Google my life and daily used services.
I’m open to suggestions for cloud photo storage/management on par with Google Photos if anyone has some. I’m looking into FOSS but would rather pay for the service in the long run. These days I’m too busy to learn to be an effective server admin and keep up with the technology.

- Comment on Thousands of Software Engineers Say the Job Market Is Getting Much Worse 10 months ago:
Fully agree that this is a tool to use. But new tools eliminate jobs throughout human history. ICE eliminated a ton of blacksmithing jobs when you didn’t need so many horseshoes. Excavators eliminated groups of workers physically digging ditches.
Progress is good, it helps society, but it has a danger to leave behind the people which helped to creat the system that eliminated their need. There needs to be a safety net or a transitional plan for these people to ensure we all continue to succeed. That doesn’t really exist in our current capitalist environment.

Anyone who knows anything about labour relations knows that AI is a front line worker replacement. You aren’t killing all jobs, but how about you tell me the % of workers in the field that won’t be needed to create blocks of code which people get to review moving forward.
Theyll change the whole workflow on you if it saves them money.

One single factor is never the source of a problem. It can be both things causing this.
Technology changes too fast today to plan for a 30 year career doing the same thing in a constantly changing world. Anyone with the skillet should take time this as a beacon and pivot, whether keeping the skills fresh and branching out into new ventures with them (i.e. spend some time thinking, get a few peers, make a new product or service to sell to others instead of being cheap labour for someone else’s idea), or dropping the skills for another one that isn’t likely to get pulled out from under your feet suddenly.
I think we’ll need plumbers for a while still, and you can make over $100k/year never touching a shitty pipe.

Attention citizen, your Economic Consumer Activity Monitor has identified error with your system and/or the Citizen Observation Rate to the unit… Your worldwide credits have been locked pending resolution.
- Comment on No excuse for shoplifting because UK's benefits system is very generous, policing minister says 10 months ago:
In October, the Home Office announced a retail crime plan involving the creation of a team of specialist analysts to gather intelligence on gangs responsible for shoplifting.
How much do you want to bet that nobody sitting down to that team asks why companies are disconnecting costs of items away from they cost to make to what people are willing to pay for them
- Comment on China launches test runs for world’s largest plant that can convert coal to ethanol 10 months ago:
China is able to pivot quickly on projects of enormous scale in part due to its political structure. I doubt many western countries would pivot so quickly and drastically for national interests in whatever you call this version of capitalism.

Ever play Plague Inc? The secret to winning is to not become deadly until you’ve already become engrained and established throughout society. Then you add the deadly features once you’re too deep in.
Don’t let the cancer establish itself as something innocent. The owner of the platform WILL take any opportunity to seize control of the media so it can seize control of the message.
- Comment on Fusion 360 increasing annual price by $190 USD 11 months ago:
Cost of business is factored into price to the consumer. A single freelance contractor trying to help pay rent and groceries for his wife and 2 kids shouldn’t need to eat the increase at the expense of his family’s financial support, so he charges more for his services.
A big company will also increase their costs likewise, but they already have expenses covered and the extra money goes into stock buybacks and board member compensation packages.

Correction, it has already cost us money, except the people receiving it we’re not responsible with the money.

Thats the “refuse to innovate with our profits” part I said

Ah, the old “I’m sucking your money tit as long as I can while my industry dies and I refuse to innovate with my profits” tax.

Cool, a volcanic eruption to block out some sun to cancel out some rising temperatures for a few years.
Or to cause famine across the world.

- Comment on Tensor Trust 1 year ago:
Fair enough, and at the end of the day it’s suspect to disguise AI training as a video game for the public. Pay me to do your work for you, or fully disclose your financers and intentions if it’s supposed to be for the greater good somehow.
- Comment on Tensor Trust 1 year ago:
Help researchers develop more secure AI.
Or are we helping researchers develop more sophisticated AI attacks?
- Comment on YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet 1 year ago:
So which free streaming service allowing for profit sharing on ad revenue which has essentially become the only name brand in the industry have you chosen to move to?
Or is your choice that you have to go without something you want because you disagree with the one single service offering it? Oh by the way, that company got that way through anti competitive practices to make sure that only they were able to operate this type of service.

Now now, we can’t afford to house our homeless after paying to keep our population safe, but shareholders need to see gains on their investment which is far more important.
