  It is literally AI taking time out of of your life, I don’t see how that doesn’t make sense to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now.⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry if this offends some US citizens, but seen from here this just seems a slightly louder and smooth-riding drift in the same direction the USA has always navigated towards.

  You don’t need an organized group to have people who compromised on logic forcing their views on others. Sure, an organized group can be more efficient, but it is also more visible as a threat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arizona ‘VPN’ searches surge amid Pornhub ban in state⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish! I would be happy to be their Lovecraftian abyss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arizona ‘VPN’ searches surge amid Pornhub ban in state⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  No, the problem is accepting uncritically anything that comes from a self-defined leader, and, even in the absence of that, accepting that any critical input in a social system should come from people that have compromised on logic and reason at some level.

  Finally, I found another one like me. Prepare for a shower of shit in the comments, as most people here defend religion strenously.

  That is the title. There is an article beyond that.

  And my investment bank doesn’t let me short on it.

  You are talking about 2 different applications of AI to the job market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I just went to school in Italy.

  This should tell you how guilty of fascism is everyone in Italy who even just entertains the idea to reproduce completely or in part laws similar to the ones of the guy.

  L’unico fascista buono è il fascista morto.

  I have no idea how regulated it is right now within the EU, outside of GDPR, but surely there are different laws locally. I don’t know if after Brexit something has been added to such laws in the UK, but I must say that even before that it was obvious that the UK LOVED their cameras.

  In 52 m2 I can offer a matrimonial bed for a couple visiting to get job interviews for some time, not much more.

  I am Italian and I have much fewer reasons to feel like you, but I still do and, although loving the friends I made there, I know I will never again set foot in the USA, since this comes from a culture of surveillance dating back more than a century.

  I am actually offering temporary accomodation to any of my friends who may want to try his luck in the EU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t read your “powerful” as an adjective qualifying the fascists, but as one qualifying the countries susceptible to see the rise of fascism, and in the case of Italy, both are wrong.

  Also, just like the Danish government nowadays, Mussolini came from a Leftist background and later started applying authoritarian and later totalitarian policies and measures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You called 1920s Italy “powerful”?! As an Italian…let’s say I remain baffled.

  Control was not my piece of cake either, but playing the Ashtray Maze sequence without knowing what I was going for was one of the most exhilarating gaming moments I ever lived.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump memorandum brands anti-fascism and opposition to capitalism as “domestic terrorism”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, I am definitely not setting foot in the US for a long while. Let’s be realistic, probably ever again.

  I say we should get rid of Apple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I used Calibre with the DeDRM plugin. But I had a very old reader, using the AZW3 format, for anything newer than that, you will also need the KFX input plugin.

  But maybe now it’s already too late for all this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So happy I just exported my collection last week and have closed forever my Amazon account the same day.

  I must say, escaping Amazon is the significant action I took in my life that was completely inconsequent on my daily living.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I’m a modern-day luddite’: Meet the students who don’t use laptops⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In your defense, the statement specifies “modern-day Luddite” which compares it to the historical Luddite bands and excludes the first meaning of the Oxford dictionary.

  Also, avoiding is not the same as opposing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Talking to Technology Executives Like They Have Anything to Say⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In many instances it can be argued that the decisions they make are not good for the business either, at least in the mid- to long-term.
