You seem sensitive.

Yes? He should be given the chance. As should his competitors be given the chance to factor that into strategy. Everyone should want this.

Max investigations always seem to be resolved post-race.

Also the system selects for mental illness so a lot of the worst offenders here literally can’t feel empathy.

I hate billionaires existing but comparing Gabe to Elon seems pretty disingenuous. Elon has and continues to normalize some pretty horrific things.

Definitely gonna be restrictive contracts so manufacturers can’t sell both and forced advertising for Microsoft services like Google does with Android OEMs.

Obviously I’m referring to ranked predictive timelines vs chronological. A basic heuristic chronological feed (eg. most recent) has little in common with modern machine learning powered social media timelines designed to be “most relevant”.

Ban algorithmic timelines for all social media, news, and entertainment.

Ban real-time algorithmic pricing.

Enforce a higher standard of driving, tailgating, extreme speed, distracted driving is insane.

This is the real crux of the issue. Data collection and algorithmic incentives are destroying society.

Self host, takes less time then you think after the initial library build. Easy to do in a weekend. If you have some money to spend on music then buy music from the artists you love. Can all be in one place, none of this exclusive garbage, quality as high as you want, can rip music that’s never been released digitally, and I think most importantly - access to your music library without an algorithm telling you what to listen to. You’ll be surprised how your listening habits change and how well you know your music after jumping off the engagement treadmill.

There are a LOT of people out there who honestly have no idea that a website is capable of collecting data. Maybe even the majority. The fact these numbers are not higher is due to most people sticking with defaults rather than them making a privacy decision.

How else do you expect anyone to take this? 🙄

Rebranding it to WLBR feels like throwing all of that away for the sake of optics that most longtime users like myself frankly don’t care about.

Because to you it’s virtually meaningless other than some weird nostalgia. For schools it’s the difference between a teacher being able to promote the software to 30 kids at a time or not. You may think that’s stupid, so does the teacher, it doesn’t matter.

The fact that longtime users like yourself can’t see the value in anyone else’s opinion here is pretty on point in my experience with this community.

Can the battery not be in the house away from the elements?

If I steal someone else’s song and put my name on it nobody reasonable would say I made it.

This whole AI-art fucktrain is entirely propped up by people who never made art before suddenly thinking they know something.

AI isn’t replacing monotonous jobs though. It’s being used as an excuse to cut good skilled labor for c-suite parasites. And it can’t even do those jobs as well. Garbage take.

Honest question: are you high?

Like Tux but with cool sunglasses and cigarettes.

This. Even a large portion of the American left doesn’t take those threats seriously. One of the most powerful countries in history threatening your own and the only response is jokes on the fuckin’ Colbert Report.
