The guaranteed abuse of this technology far FAR outweighs the benefits, imo.

A better solution to combat those disorders would be to prevent their formation in the first place with early detection and improved medical sciences and procedures.

The human brain is one of the last places we have left that isn’t entirely owned and controlled by some corporation or state agency. I do not trust any government to regulate it properly and I do not trust a single corporation to develop it with good intentions. It would be abused instantly as shareholders pitch tents in their pants over selling it to law enforcement and advertisers.

One really nice thing to come out of this election is that Joly is sticking around. Her personality and handling of the Trump admin has been fantastic.

The general populace isn’t going to switch to Linux. They’re just not.

The path of least resistance is to continue using Win10

Affinity Photo is an excellent Photoshop alternative. I switched a while ago and have used it for all of my major projects since.

This is by design. Decades of eroding education and critical thinking have produced a populace that is highly ignorant and extremely easy to manipulate.

There is a reason why attacking education is the first thing any right-wing government does.

The monster that is Infinite Growth can’t do that.

I’m sure if you follow the paper trail enough it’ll lead back to either Russia or the Heritage Foundation from the US.

It is yet another grifting disinformation factory.

That doesn’t sound like government efficiency.

Coolio. More technofascist-controlled social media. Nothing could possibly go wrong here.

Especially when he has basically admitted that it is stock market manipulation. Everyone knows the tariffs will return or potentially even something stupider.

Do you know how I can tell when I have an incoming call or message? My phone, which is in my pocket, makes a noise and vibrates. Why the absolute hell would I want my vacuum cleaner to notify me of a call?

And the washer too? Do they seriously think people just sit around at home taking calls every 5 minutes that they need every appliance to be able to make/take phonecalls?

She went into prison in 2023 so she will be there for a while yet.

I don’t think her wealth is known exactly but she and her company lost billions during the scandal.

Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind. She manoeuvred herself into a position of wealth and power by defrauding other rich people and got herself 11 years in prison for it. That’s 11 years more than most other rich scumbags get.

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Is it missing ROPs too?

That explains all the AI crap they’ve been chasing for a while now. They’ve been trying to juice up the value to make it look appealing to potential buyers because you can basically slap “AI” on anything and it instantly shoots up in value.

Discord is effectively dead if this goes through.
