  Making more walled gardens would probably only polarize society more, not help it. But the emotion is understandable.

  Refer to other comment. They don’t see “VPN traffic”, they see encrypted tunnels between two ports to some offshore vps. At best, they see a header saying “openvpn”. The article is alluding to the country wanting to crack down on encrypted tunnels (because you cannot discriminate VPNs from them).

  Fair enough

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  if the LGBTQ+ games were not sexual in nature (why does it not say?), then that is quite damning and I approve of this conspiracy theory.

  Since fiat currencies are not connected to gold… no problem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facts and minds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Somehow beautiful. Calling out bullshit, but also agreeing.

  I wouldn’t define flipping coins as decision making. Especially when it comes to blanket governmental policy that has the potential to kill (or severely disable) millions of people.

  You seem to not want any people to teach you anything. And are somehow completely dejected at such perceived actions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨F.D.A. to Use A.I. in Drug Approvals to ‘Radically Increase Efficiency’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  LLM does no decision making. At all. It spouts (as you say) bullshit. If there is enough training data for “Trump is divine”, the LLM will predict that Trump is divine, with no second thought (no first thought either). And it’s not even great to use as a language-based database.

  Please don’t even consider LLMs as “AI”.

  Your argument becomes idiotic once you understand the actual technology. The AI bullshit machine’s agenda is “give nice answer” (“factual” is not an idea that has neural center in the AI brain), and “make reader happy”. The human “bullshit” machine, has many agendas, but it would have not got so far if it was spouting just happy bullshit (but I guess America is a becoming a very special case).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct. You’re right, without context (or as you put it - living under a rock) one comes to the wrong conclusion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since this sublemmy doesn’t ave any requirement for the title to be the same as the source, can we actually have a correct title: “Microsoft abides to laws in EU and does <…>”.

  The title makes it appear as if it’s out of charity and goodness of their corporate heart. (Lie)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Teflon is just as poisonous as any plastic above breakdown temperature (260C). I.e.: not really.

  There is no eternal item in the human mortal coil.

  They could start throwing out steel slag into rivers from the factories, you know. Which is the analogue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you watch the video, it says there is no reason to switch, as teflon is not poisonous. The catalyst chemicals in manufacturing when released into rivers and other places is the biggest source. Then some shoddy packaging of fast foods.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well barely. Their given reason is it’s “not mission critical” which is a statement veeeeryyy far from “We are doing it out of spite for electric cars” or “We want our oil narrative to hold from our highest echelons of social hierarchy” or whatever other insane reason

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s just ridiculous. To spend money to remove infrastructure, out of hidden spite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you have been lulled into submission by the decades-long “Let’s make it really complicated to repair for no reason other than profits” narrative. This is exactly how devices should look. This is exactly how your TV, radio looked 30 years ago. Easy to disassemble, diagrams on the bloody box, extra fuses, relays if one blows.

  ITT: Lots of Americans getting insulted by the fact that obesity brings health problems, and the fact that being obese is a self-destructive choice.
