I’m tired of having empathy for pieces of shit 99.5% of people aren’t trash and we would be better on average if we dropped them in the bin.

Now you can get arrested and kicked out of school and have your school career and college options ruined for following the strategy you did

Bullying is often in the form of low-level violence combined with verbal and other forms of harassment committed repeatedly by folks who enjoy it.
There is little hope of beating it at the same level of intensity and for reasons of culture and not prosecuting thousands of kids adults avoid dealing with low intensity harm between kids even when over time it is intolerable. Beating up the bully requires one to be capable of such when the bully may be larger and physically imposing and part of a group then not getting treated as the guilty party afterward for being the one who actually caused real harm as if the harm of years of harassment aren’t real.
Its great your solution worked for you but for lots it would mean bully and friends get to beat you without consequence and you get in trouble reinforcing the game.
Its quite frankly on average a bs solution. The actual one is to pay attention to who is a pos and kick the 1% worst pos to shit schools so 99% can learn in peace.

Leftwing extremists want to tax the rich and give everyone medicine but they are willing to compromise and just keep our existing broken system if others don’t agree… Rightwing extremists want to build concentration camps for democrats and brown people, punish gay people for existing, subjugate women and crush all resistance murdering people if they can’t get the votes to do it democratically.
Right wing moderates are ok with this and believe other people should be ok with them for going along with this.

the free AI service is literally a throttled version of the same tech with fewer options available its the same thing the idea that the free one is a mindless learning one and the expensive one is the real one is a fundamental misunderstanding based on nothing.

Encrypting internet traffic is a completely obvious innovation once the internet and encryption were a thing. You’d be stupid for suggesting this because privacy destruction is absolutely in everyone in powers interest AND has countless legit benefits that people are going to care about more than the downsides.
Do we want to know who the pervert is who is harassing little suzy or sharing janes nudes or threatening the government? Why yes yes we do and the easiest way to ensure we do is to destroy everyone’s privacy. A thoughtful balance is so much harder and requires so much intelligence and forethought along with giving up some benefits of absolute transparency that the chance of it happening is basically zero.
We can have the current broken wild west or 1984 because both of these are easy and comprehensible.

So no country in the world has such a system that actually protects privacy in practice
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Which country anywhere has ever implemented a zero knowledge proof of age rather than using a id or information trivially linkable to an id. The answer is none have none intend to and none will its a complete fabrication to cover actual reality.
Nor is it liable to be limited to outright porno.

The truth is out there is what people say about big foot, the flat earth, UFOs, and lizard people.
You have to pay monthly for devices that access the internet at all. It doesn’t seem unreasonable that YOU not everyone should have to pay for something that is safe for your 8 year old rather than just getting your 8 year old an Ipad and wifi. This forum isn’t safe for an 8 year old.
Regardless, you have made no comment on the idea that I want it done with zero knowledge proof.
Because there is no indication that that is ever going to happen. Either nothing with happen. A few hardcore porn sites will get age gating because they want to do legit business whilst others hosted in other countries will do nothing ensuring your teen still finds boobs when he searches OR we will go full on 1984 and this will mostly be used to suppress the entire free and open internet in the US.
Your fantasy that this will be done safely is just an indication that you are stupid.

You haven’t demonstrated what harm comes from googling naked girl and seeing boobs.
If you want devices with parental control you will need to pay for them.
Devices like school computers already have such. This won’t stop a determined person from borrowing their friends phone and googling naked girl but that is a reasonable trade off honestly.
I don’t want to turn the entire Internet into 1984 so your kids doesn’t see boobs until he’s 18

It’s your job to keep your kid from cruising porn on the devices you own

You cannot actually serve hundreds of millions in the US even if you invested the 75B it would cost to give every household a satellite it just can’t support the bandwidth.
- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 5 weeks ago:
Anything with a very low rate of true positives applied to a large population is going to have an insane false positive rate. EG a 1 in 7M issue applied to 70M students with a 1% false positive rate would produce 700k false positives. Worse people who are actually planning a school shooting may be more likely to avoid telegraphing their intentions. So you could damage 700k kids futures and traumatize them without even catching many or any of the killers.

It actually already does cover it. He’s tricking folks into tipping twice by failing to disclose that they have already tipped. It’s simple fraud.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 5 weeks ago:
They in the last year or so added built in vertical tabs , much better hardware support for decoding video on Linux, continue to support manifest v2 and high quality ad blocking. Have increased performance and memory usage.
In the last 7 years performance is night and day different as is multiple process performance and switched away from unmaintainable old broken addon system.
They also created one of the premiere programming languages which is making in roads in the Linux kernel.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 5 weeks ago:
This is bad logic. Every industry has a thousand things they solve by regulation to establish a sane baseline that you experience every day mistaking this hard won normalcy for a self occurring default.
The behavior that is described is actually fraud and if you consider across just this one employees year it probably is thousands of dollars in fraud. It would be normal to report such to the city government which reports such to the business which in turn fires the server and trains the rest not to defraud customers.
- Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics 5 weeks ago:
Which literally means they have to announce fake plans to build in 2026 which will be delayed until 2027 in which they hope he will have less autonomy if the midterms go poorly.
- Comment on Grok’s ‘spicy’ video setting instantly made me Taylor Swift nude deepfakes 5 weeks ago:
It absolutely is private insofar as it is a channel between the software running on their end -> user who is operating the software. The lack of end to end encryption does not make it not private it makes it insecure which doesn’t speak whatsoever to the issue raised which is that creation of an image by a user isn’t likely to be considered publication until they share it.
It’s highly probable that keeping people from generating deep fake nudes requires additional law.
- Comment on Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash 5 weeks ago:
The article says Tesla deletes it and was forced to produce it. Seems pretty obvious that your theory is wrong
- Comment on Grok’s ‘spicy’ video setting instantly made me Taylor Swift nude deepfakes 5 weeks ago:
Is providing it over a private channel to a singular user publication?
I suspect that you will have to directly regulate image generation
- Comment on Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash 5 weeks ago:
Perhaps most importantly although we know it was not so lost because we read the article or at least the summary if it had been it would have been a deliberate design decision to have it be so.
Your explanation doesn’t wash in reality but it also doesn’t wash even in theory.
- Comment on Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash 5 weeks ago:
Because it may not be possible to transmit depending on location.
- Comment on Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash 5 weeks ago:
This explanation is completely fabricated, based on nothing, and nonsense.
It is obviously critical data that nobody halfway competent would write to ram. Also video data is very large and makes no sense to store in ram.
Furthermore the article says it was deleted and they later recovered it which would not have been possible with RAM
Basically why are you pushing this drivel.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 1 month ago:
The overwhelming majority of Linux users are on 4 distros + derivatives. Debian Fedora Arch Suse not “thousands”
Where would what end? Most actually open source projects just publish releases to source and provide as much or as little support as they feel like. Slap a github issues page up and tell every user that you are only interested in dealing with bugs in the most recent version in whatever official channel you prefer eg provide appimage of releases and insist that users reproduce and document bug.
Time wasted mostly wont even bother to create a github account and if they do close issues if they can’t follow directions.

Just because it’s open source doesn’t mean it’s necessarily open for all uses. His license explicitly denied using his code in packages. People did it anyway.
There exists pkgbuilds for arch and previously packages of the older GPL builds.
A pkgbuild is just a recipe for each users computer do do the stuff needed to fetch and or build publicly available software. It is copyright the writer of the recipe not the owner of the software thus fetched. That is to say the owner of foobar can’t copyright the functional equivalent of a bash script which does git clone and make install foobar.
The older versions thereof are still available under the GPL and aren’t subject to being removed.
Neither of these are actually subject to the authors whims. He doesn’t own the pkgbuild and if he chooses to offer the file to users they can download it either by manually git cloning it or having a script do it.
So no they didn’t “do it anyway”

Most people arguing from analogies are doing so because they can’t actually make a coherent argument against THING so they make a bad analogy and then expect you to unwind the 17 ways the analogy and the thing are different. This being a waste of time. I’ll just tell you that your analogy is trash and you should do better.
