Why should any of us approve of making things easier for technofascists?

More like sometime around 1971-1980. That’s when the boomers started to become a major voting block and pull up the ladders behind them; promoting neoliberalism, privatisation, and the destruction of social programs that they benefited from, thus destroying wealth equality and the working class. Women entered the workforce en mass, and out sourcing started.

Conservatives are mentally-ill fascists. They can’t be reasoned with because they have no reason.

They’re going all in on domestic chip manufacturing, and they are catching up much faster than armchair generals, and even actual generals, predicted.

Isn’t capitalism a blast?

Member when “no taxation without representation” was a thing people believed in?

Always have been

Morals are like religion to the sociopathic political and capitalist class; just another tool you can use to lie, cheat, steal, control, and virtue signal.

The catch is you can only commit crimes if you’re a billion dollar corporation!

For bots, by bots

And his narcissism is rewarded with extreme wealth and power.

Peak capitalism.

I checked my phone’s location settings, and sure enough, Instagram had recently accessed this information.

The average tech-illiterate journo is always going to be dogshit at these “experiments” because they don’t understand how most of the underlying tech works.

Other additions to my feed were harder to explain. … One video featured a woman in a sari frying up South Indian dumplings called kuzhi paniyaram — an obscure dish my mum would make when I was growing up.

Yes, numbnuts. Your precise location, plus a hundred other data points you’re ignorant of, associated the account with your mum. This journo probably doesn’t even know that location access likely means visibility of all the wifi and bluetooth devices in your radius.

If this is late stage cap journalism, in the age of omnipresent surveillance capitalism, it’s time to pack it in. We’re well and truly cooked. Welcome to costco, I love you!

Bait and switch is every tech companies modus operandi. Whether it’s injecting ads, or disabling an entire feature-set, the point is to build your dependence so greatly that they can amp up the value extraction and fuck you as hard as possible, without losing your dollars or attention.

Well, AI therapy is more likely to harm their mental health, up to encouraging suicide (as certain cases have already shown).

“Dishwasher safe” only means the plastic itself won’t warp or disintegrate at consumer dishwasher temps. This is not the same as microwave safe, which means it won’t warp or disintegrate at boiling/steam temps.

All of the studies I’ve seen have proven that all food/dishwasher “safe” plastics release millions of particles every cycle. All plastics basically release microplastics at all times, but the amount rapidly increases at anything above room temp.

Most consumer dishwashers don’t go higher than 65-75c on any cycle (read the fucking manual). They clean by washing food away, not sanitization; including their self cleaning cycles.

“Food grade” has nothing to do with boiling point. Chicken is safe to eat at 75c. The min temp to prevent harmful bacteria growth of cooked food is 60c. Most of the salad you’ve ever eaten grew out of shit and has never seen temps above 30c, post harvest.

Sell all your data to the Christian corporate fascist dictatorship, so they can use it to wage psychological and economic warfare on a global scale.

Their blog implied you would need to create a separate sync account for each profile. It’d obviously be better if you could choose which profiles are linked to which account, in addition to local only.

9.5 years is ancient in smart home devices.

Though, any company that stops supporting a device should be legally required to open source all dependencies required to operate it, or provide a full refund.

This is why I switched to ZFS with sanoid+ syncoid. Any breaking update or data corruption can be rolled back, giving you the freedom to auto-update with minimal risk.

And if you roll all your dockers on ZFS as datasets + sanoid you can just rollback to the last snapshot, if that ever does happen.
