- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 21 hours ago:
Because of people installing malware.
Its only recently that most Android phone owners even used the internet features, now you need apps just to park your car. There’s nothing stopping someone from having you install malware from a pirate QR code someone puts over the proper sticker. - Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 3 days ago:

- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t really trust Ed Zitron’s math analysis when he gets a very simple thing like “there is no real AI adoption” plainly wrong
Except he doesn’t say that. the author of this article simply made that up.
There is a high usage rate (almost entirely ChatGPT btw, despite all the money sunk into AI by others like Google) but its all the free stuff and they are losing bucketloads of money at a rate that is rapidly accelerating.
but most tech startups run at a loss for a long time before they either turn a profit or get acquired.
There is no path to profitability.
- Comment on GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that’s not the worst of it. 3 weeks ago:
This particular model was advertised as being able to use tools, like calculators. And it includes a calculator tool in the package.
So, it should in theory, not have the probabilistic limitations of its native algorithms.
However, there are still the limitations created by multiple posts, where the model will change its answer in relation to previous inputs by users. This may have become even worse in model 5 because it supposedly remembers pervious conversations.

Australians will soon be subjected to mandatory age checks across the internet landscape, in what has been described as a huge and unprecedented change.

- Comment on In the olden days, when people got married a lot younger, there were probably lots of grandparents in their thirties 4 weeks ago:
The average age of a groom in Britain in the 19th century was 27.
Men were generally unable to marry until they had obtained property.
And the average age was higher than the 20th century as well, because of the high infant mortality rate, it wasn’t a “society of young people” at all.

The 5th amendment only applies before arrest and during court. You still have the right to silence after arrest, that is a common law right.

Calvin said that although the righteous were selected and so charity would not gain brownie points to heaven, the selected would do charitable works because they were the select.
Martin Luther just opposed all charity.
