I mean if Gemini was responding to some kind of roleplay then yeah it does. Not everyone doing shit with it has mental health problems. Some people are just fucking around.

Not that I want to defend AI slop, but what prompted these responses from Gemini?

Never understood why EVs aren’t made with standardized hot swappable cells. Would solve the range problem and the wear problem.

Laws don’t prevent anything unless they are enforced. If the bill doesn’t also include how this will all be audited and incredibly harsh penalties for violating it that part might as well be toilet paper. I don’t care how minimal the data I’m sending them is. I want that amount to be 0. It doesn’t benefit me to give them anything so I shouldn’t be forced to do it.

It also makes it mandatory to include this feature in every OS. It means you’ll be sending telemetry about who you are to anyone that wants it and you don’t have a choice. Fuck that. I don’t have kids, there’s no reason I should have to use an OS with this shit.

so you can probably forget about it…

I was just talking about this with one of my coworkers today. It’s so stupid. Wtf are doing?

Parental controls already exist. There is no reason to force this invasive bullshit on us. If parents want to restrict/monitor their kids online all the tools they need to do so are already available. The government need not be involved.

Why not parents responsible for their own goddamn kids? Stop interfering with the rest of our privacy for this bullshit. Parental controls have existed for decades. Fucking use them.

Just bought a Motorola because it was the best price of the 3 phones I found that had most of the features I wanted. This makes me feel better about that purchase. I’m also pretty happy with the phone so far.

Will it have a headphone jack and sd slot

What do you expect us to do? I don’t buy anti-consumer products as much as possible and I advise everyone I know to do the same. I explain why things are bad, but most people don’t care enough to listen. On top of that, these companies collude so that all the options end up being anti-consumer bullshit and you’re stuck trying to find the least bad one.

I don’t know Oracle’s product but the company I work for has had a ton of people working on VDI for like 15 years now. It’s a solved problem. The only real annoying part was that it required pretty solid bandwidth and people would try using it on shitty Internet and then expect us to fix it. I’m kind of surprised it took this long for a consumer version to get off the ground. I would never use it because it sounds like a privacy nightmare but most people don’t think about that shit.

The company I work for makes us. We have chrome but they’re constantly threatening to remove it and if you have a technical issue with something web based and you’re not using edge IT won’t help you.

I don’t for media. I have 2 parity drives and that’s it. I’d like to do some kind of off site mirror but I haven’t had time to figure it out and buying enough storage to do that is expensive.

My actual data for like taxes and stuff is backed up to my server and backblaze.

I’ve not really ever had any cohesion on the platforms I use anonymously anyway. I just like having places to talk about shit without any judgement that would be linked to my identity. Gonna miss that if this shit takes off but going outside more will probably do me some good.

The fact they ever considered something affiliated with Peter Thiel in the first place is enough to abandon Discord.

The one I just bought came with 3 of the fucking things installed on it.

Probably talking about invasive shit like what discord just did.

Social media has muddied the water since I was a kid but I was raw dogging the Internet mostly unsupervised since I was in 5th grade and ran into all sorts of shit. Knowing not to give up any personal information about myself was all I really needed to feel safe. It was never something I even considered doing. I still don’t have any social media with my identity other than a very outdated and minimal LinkedIn. Not sure how a kid could take that advice seriously from their parents who’ve been blasting anything and everything about them all over social media since they were born though.
