The rich oppose any enablement of the masses.

It starts somewhere, and it’s people leaving one by one. Good onya putting your money where your mouth is.
- Comment on GardeningUK 1 day ago:
It’s just I find the wider gardening one a bit centred on different regions. The climates different, the plants are not always available. So thought something more local was worth a try.

He needs more consequences. I am applauding the fact we can take the mick over the matter rather than shy away from the topic.

I live that the English can collectively take the piss out of the local nonces…rather than protect them.
- Comment on The people like AI because they treat it like a search engine. 2 days ago:
There’s the theory it’s by design. They have made search so bad so that we now turn to Ai to give us what search can, and by that they can effectively charge you for searching…which generally we would baloney the idea of paying to search.

Have you tried libre office as an alternative to MS or Google. It’s pretty decent.

Hopefully jumping between different model but same shit highlights the bigger picture. And maybe just some of them may even say enough is enough.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 6 days ago:
I think the attitude of being virtuosos or preachy can seep in at times, especially when being part of a cause but IMO diplomacy, having conversations and opening their mind to objectivity has to be better than telling people they are wrong.
I know this is easy to say, and esp when so many people are just so addicted to social media and the internet.
I have had conversations with friends, family where they can have a clear conversation about how much propaganda is pushed on to them, and they then turn straight to their phone and hoover up and hour of FB. It does make you think wow sheep. But I have to remind myself we don’t get change by telling people ‘you clearly don’t know your own mind’
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 6 days ago:
Yup this is a great example. LLM for non opinion based stuff or for stuff that’s not essential for life. It’s great for finding a recipe but if you’re gonna rely on the internet or an LLM to help you form an opinion on something that requires objective thinking then no. If I said hey internet/LLM is humour good or bad, it would insert a swayed view.
It simply can’t be trusted. I can’t even trust it return shopping links so I have retreated back to real life. If it can’t play fair I no longer use it as a tool.

Do you feel you are turning away from tech as a result? I have pushed the other way recently and started to enjoy stepping away, regaining control of privacy an adjusting to suit my needs.

It’s a really good thought. IMO what they will be producing with AI wont be knowledge it will be slop.
There is always gonna be an indie writer, a local at the pub singing. They cant stop people creating. Download or buy analog of the stuff you like and store it. We don’t have to be a slave to the mainstream dream…i will say though its hard changing habits…but for me, it starts with me.
- Comment on Why I'm Leaving Big Tech 1 week ago:
As a young adult these were the innovators to aspire to. But the last 3/4 years things have turned. I keep thinking back to the apple 1984 ad and that they have become what the hated. Big tech are no longer innovators. They are becoming exploitive and controlling.

The trick is not to pay a dime to read it. Even producing Ai slop has a cost. If no one pays for that it must leave a negative.
Stop buying. Simples.
- Comment on Why I'm Leaving Big Tech 1 week ago:
I didn’t mind this article. It highlights a struggle of someone clearly at odds with the betrayal brought on by tech The example of IBM is a good one, and the fool me once concept. And for many they got into tech to bring good change, that got hijacked by the greedy.
What I struggle with is the fact corps gonna make money with that and people have made big money and gone with this, and it’s only after being laid off they are open to the ills of the what has happened.
The bigger question is if you are still willing to support and perpetuate big tech and bad behaviour in other ways. There’s no indication of the viewers nationality but do they have investment funds in tech? are condoning bad practices against minorities? or only the ones that align with their background beliefs. For many in the tech industry introspection is a good practice. It’s easy to say at the end of your career hey I don’t wanna work with them. It’s even easier when you are comfortable.
I suppose it is a start people are openly voicing this.

- Comment on ChatGPT Go subscription rolls out worldwide at $8, but it'll show you ads 2 weeks ago:
Yup even people who pay get adverts. Not used it in years and over Christmas a relative put something on. It has adverts at the start and during the show. I was immediately irate. Wanted to throw a shoe at the TV

Much jollier option
- Comment on People have near limitless options for what to watch on tv, and still complain 2 weeks ago:
As someone else has said quantity does not equal quality.
The lower every point of publishing and production has resulted in everyone and their dog making movies and shows.
IMO process has been diluted and proper writing and storytelling is often either overlooked or obscurely overdone.

I left a few years ago. I didn’t get banned but I did remove my content.
It’s an adjustment. It’s a lot slower, and you have to play with your filters to get your viewing right for you.
There’s not a lot of niche forums like over there or support groups say for example the stremio Reddit. But it’s building and it’s a lot more genuine.
It takes time to build and you are now part of figuring how and where you can contribute. It is a night transaction and you have to stop and remind yourself it’s not Reddit, it won’t be Reddit and you left there for a reason.
I feel like a real grown up now 🤣
- Comment on Artist Behind Viral 'Beast Jesus' Restoration Dies at 94 4 weeks ago:
I always love this story. I have always been a fan of art, in particular classical. I know people are horrified what happened but I always feel art chapters a time a moment a feeling and she did was a really unique moment and result.
I appreciate that it was a work of an artist and that has been lost with the alteration. But there are so many artworks like this. I also actually like her artistic style. I get annoyed at people questioning the merit. Art is in the eye of the beholder and should not be marked as lesser because it a master did not paint it.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 1 month ago:
I’d like a AI feature that bounces back on any ads or intrusive crap including propaganda. But AI is being pushed by the same people so if it happens it won’t be genuine and it will just evolve to give the illusion of not being pushed.
FF, any browser, any social media platform , I can select ‘I don’t wanna see this’ or go adjust settings to disable but nah, an update later and it’s back, or it comes back under another form.
It’s still manipulation. And I can’t trust it to manipulate ever.
