Good thing AOTUS declared peace, otherwise we may have a problem.
- Comment on 'Unlawful and Un-American': Trump Claims He Can Send 'Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines' Into US Cities 19 hours ago:
He did declare everyone supporting Anti-fascists terrorists and then conflated anyone on the left with it. So he has already effectively declared that everyone on the left is the enemy.
- Comment on U.S. hits $38 trillion in debt, after the fastest accumulation of $1 trillion outside of the pandemic 4 days ago:
I am no fan of the Democratic Party but they do allow dissent and differing opinions as well as criticism of the President. The Republicans not so much.
Poor Trumpsters has already added almost more than twelve years of Democratic Presidents and he and has had only 5 years so far. By the end of his presidency he will have spent the most, made the least, and bankrupted the majority of the Federal Government.

Next thing you’re going to tell me is the six times his businesses filed for bankruptcies or his multiple business ventures that failed were somehow a pattern.

That is only when the Democratic Party is in charge.

- Comment on Apple’s Next-Gen AirPods with Brainwave Monitoring 6 days ago:
That is not really what I get when I read their terms.
"Apple’s advertising platform receives information about the ads you tap and view against a random identifier not tied to your Apple Account. Apple does not share any personal data with third parties. We make certain non-personal data available to our advertisers and strategic partners that work with Apple to provide our products and services, help Apple market to customers, and sell ads on Apple’s behalf. No Apple Pay transactions or Health app data is accessible to Apple’s advertising platform, or is used for advertising purposes. Apple does not know or make available to advertisers information about your sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or political affiliations"
So they definitely use your “anonymized” data to help advertisers reach you on their platform. Also the part about Apple does not know or make available is some seriously weird lingo. They do know for sure, but they don’t make it available supposedly, but I highly doubt that.
So they are not really about you privacy per se because they are into ad revenue for themselves, but they are claiming to not actively sell your data to third parties (except the government of course).
I wonder how anonymous this data really is as researches have been able to pierce the veil and use this type of data to create an entire profile about you.

Trump’s administration could easily fix this with a phone call, but they won’t.

You survived on the grace of others and developed some skills around being thrifty. Hardly a reason to start looking down on people, not to mention the optics of being a trust fund baby even if you were a temporarily embarrassed millionaire for a few years.
- Comment on AI might be creating a ‘permanent underclass’ but it’s the makers of the tech bubble who are replaceable | Van Badham 1 week ago:
For sure, I was just pointing out the absurdity of saying it when machines like computers already do.
AI its current form is nowhere near general intelligence even when you string several different platforms together.
Like any tool it has it uses and misuses. I really could see an basic local AI on every personal computer that is like a help desk and secretary built in. Unfortunately that is not what these companies seem to be going for.

We are not different, that is just an excuse. I have grandkids already for Christ sake.
We should not be encouraging social disconnection in our society and become dependent on machines.
I get it, they are more convenient for YOU. But at what cost to everyone else?
Like I was saying, just because we have a bunch of people who have not been socialized doesn’t mean we should be encouraging it with technology.
You say your old, but you personalize like a teenager still.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
We should definitely change our whole society because a minority have not been socialized properly.

You say that until theft protection confronts you and calls the cops over nothing. Hard pass on that.
- Comment on US news outlets refuse to sign new Pentagon rules to report only official information 2 weeks ago:
It has been here for a long time. This doesn’t mean things can’t get worse, but we have to recognize most of this behavior is just par for the course.
The reason I say this is electing someone ft m the Democratic Party is not suddenly going to fix this.
We have been a hostile imperialist and fascist nation since before I was born.

- Comment on Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
Right to repair is not about demanding unlimited software support it is saying we want access to the API so we can do our own support if we choose to.
It is about designing products that can be repairable and providing the means to do so. Regulations will be required to do this because a big part relies on standardization of parts.
This is because we can’t expect manufacturers to continuously supply parts. That is unrealistic. On the other hand, if you require standardized parts then it becomes repairable without the burden on the manufacturer.

I see your point. I would like to add that you probably can’t ever have fast or cheap without negative externalities. I think this is the missing part of the equation that perverts these systems and produces the garbage results we have to deal with like ewaste.
Unregulated capitalism seems to thrive by externalizing as many costs as possible. So we end up with a systems that ignores the environment and social costs.

No rapist can ever complain again. After all, if they just apply themselves they to can become POTUS regardless of raping hundreds of women and children.

I just accused you of being a devil’s advocate. You did not deny it so it must be true.
You didn’t provide evidence there are more Apple haters than Android haters. You also did not provide proof you brain isn’t twisted into a pretzel.
