Why would it be a threat to the entertainment industry? I thought they were all excited about being able to cut costs with AI.

It’s actually much worse than that.

AI will reinforce delusional thinking. This is definitely not good.

When you share with Facebook, you share with Trump.

People are afraid of the terminal because Windows has a shitty, unfriendly terminal. One of the things that brought me back to Linux was the cool-looking terminals. They make me feel like I’m Hackerman.

Linux isn’t just a different operating system. It’s a paradigm shift. Windows is always going to dominate as long as people are trapped in a Windows mindset.

Being intimidated by the terminal is fine, but the sooner you learn it, the better. Terminal is your friend, not your enemy. Take baby steps if you need to, but you’re really doing yourself a disservice by staying away from the terminal.

Garuda is good for a newbie provided A) they love MacOS UI and B) they’re willing to bring their A game if something breaks.

You’re saving an already low-quality stream into a lossy format. Just use Soulseek.

Evidence?

People are going to take a shit in them.

Sure, somebody will. But the system will take note of that person, and then they don’t get to ride again. Or they have to pay a fine. Or whatever.

Apparently yes.

I don’t think that anybody should have nuclear weapons. Do you support assassinating scientists?

Attacking civilians doesn’t automatically make it a genocide. If that were true, then pretty much every war ever was a genocide.

Why did the authoritarian regime wait until now to turn off the Internet?

Or it was just a weird network issue. A week is a long time, though.

Same on FireDragon with Garuda.

There are speech police in the real world. Workplaces don’t allow you to use slurs or to harass your co-workers. That’s just one example. In fact, any social group that I can think of will punish you for saying something. Some are more lenient than others, but every one has a line that you cannot cross.

No newsgroups? No IRC?

Tbf, having a central authority dictate the truth to you ain’t so great.

I don’t think the phrase “third-party fact checkers” (plural) implies a central authority.

Neither is having classes of people who you aren’t allowed to offend.

Facebook can’t stop you from offending people. What they can do is make it slightly more difficult by disallowing slurs, etc.
