You forgot to call it fascist. That’s a word people with that attitude tend to throw around a lot.

this reminded me of a quote from a tv show i'm watching. "Hell is just the product of a morbid human imagination, The bad news is whatever humans can imagine they can usually create"
- Comment on Robot dogs have unnerved and angered the public. So why is this artist teaching them to paint? 11 months ago:
sounds like typical manufactured outrage from journalists trying to improve their CTR on their non-news..
- Comment on OpenAI investors' race to reinstate Sam Altman makes tech expert Gary Marcus feel 'sick to his stomach' 11 months ago:
they wanted him back but he had the condition that they made an apology letter and cleared him of any wrongdoing. that's when they changed their minds. if this is about not apologizing to save the company they do seem incompetent.
- Comment on Ousted OpenAI C.E.O. Makes Plans for New Artificial Intelligence Company 11 months ago:
vague allegations of abuse are only evidence for clout chasers. while she might be a victim she only started talking about it when his brother became successful. the link you shared also says it's essentially her word and there is no factual evidence, is also very suspicious howall the family decided to side with the brother.

I hope they look into how they are treating desktop clients as secondary devices with extra hassle. I'll try it if they address that.

- Comment on X accused of illegally firing employee who criticized Elon’s return-to-work plan 1 year ago:
The mental gymnastics people go through to miss the point. I will try to make thos short so you don’t get confused again. Non tech news should be shared in generic news or specific groups related to the topic.
- Comment on X accused of illegally firing employee who criticized Elon’s return-to-work plan 1 year ago:
that makes zero sense. without a universe to live in we can't even have labor.
- Comment on X accused of illegally firing employee who criticized Elon’s return-to-work plan 1 year ago:
I wasn't trying to put a show for you. I only followed the stupid claim to it's stupid conclusion.
- Comment on X accused of illegally firing employee who criticized Elon’s return-to-work plan 1 year ago:
by that reasoning we don't need magazines since it's all part of the same universe.
- Comment on X accused of illegally firing employee who criticized Elon’s return-to-work plan 1 year ago:
labor disputes are not technology

It seems that he has not even taken the time to understand the basics of how to find a job with a 10 page resume.. let alone 24.

I think his point is that he is proposing well meaning feeling based policies without having any real knowledge of any of the negative impacts his policy would have.
- Comment on Nvidia offices raided by French competition authority 1 year ago:
Nvidia is pretty cut throat so the chances of them doing something wrong are high, but i'm not sure about the chances of finding evidence. they must have effective policies to defeat investigations, most big companies have them.

- Comment on Backdoored firmware lets China state hackers control routers with “magic packets” 1 year ago:
I think that the most disappointing aspect of obama's presidency was that he did not do anything about china imposing those bullshit rules. he should have imposed some balance or outright make it illegal for those companies to put themselves in a situation where their ip's will be sucked dry.

you have to click on the arrow down. looking at the number of favourites on your comment, if we all did that I think it would stop.
- Comment on The enshittification marches on – use Signal [WhatsApp] 1 year ago:
I am not looking for anything specific since i am not planning to use it, the issues I pointed are deal breakers as I said.
Regarding the roadmap,I only expect them to share it. They have talked about their vision and desire to be self sustainable. It would show they have a clear plan even if it involves testing features. - Comment on The enshittification marches on – use Signal [WhatsApp] 1 year ago:
I will never switch to something that only treats phones as "primary device" and adds extra hassle to support PC as a "secondary device". I also find very concerning the lack of understanding of the value of anonimity even when communications are private, they even mock people that want privacy and anonimity.
another non-deal breaking but still telling issue is the lack of a clear roadmap for signal.
