Yet my libertarian centrist friend INSISTS that AI is great for humanity. I keep telling him the billionaires don’t give a fuck about you and he keeps licking boots. How many others are like this??

By design. Soon ms won’t allow you to even have the OS installed, it will only be internet accessible (no internet=no pc usage) so they can steal more data for free.

Can confirm. Made many sparkler/aerosol can boom.booms

Do you guys also keep a notepad file on your desktop with all the usual commands and shortcuts on it? I can’t imagine remembering them all otherwise… and I kind of cringe at the non stop DDG ing I have to do to do some basic liux stuff.

Right, and subaru stupidly quit making the wrx wagon in 2014, no idea why. There’s also the appeal of early 2000s gm, dirt cheap and easy to fix. Like an 03 Tahoe. Just not good on gas. You can find some of those in an I5 though which is cool.

That’s true. If you are only working to enrich your boss by shipping. 02% more packages per day, it’s degrading. However we all have to work to live, I believe in working hard no matter the job, and if the job sucks, become irreplaceable, then find something better.

I keep saying this. As if humans aren’t dumb enough and lazy as hell without AI… I’ve met maybe 1 younger person out of hundreds that actually shows interest in learning and work ethic (the good kind, not boomerism). I’m not even old, but it’s looking like a dark road for humans. Now Fuck You, this is Carl’s Jr!

They don’t realize it’s the big shiny companies that are actually scamming them and stealing their data.

In complete agreement. I hate crossovers so much.

Have you looked at this wagons or Volvo wagons ? Or just a good old tacoma or tundra long box ?

I was never put off by it, but I tend to like less shiny things.

This is why I go the extra mile to keep iot out of my life. Especially in cars , which is getting hard, but I figure my future cars I’ll likely retrofit something old. Newest I’ll tolerate is 2014, with no touchscreen.

How can you convince anyone to get off these ? Everyone I’ve showed lemmy to is terrified it’s a virus, and what chat platforms are there besides messenger that we can convince anyone to go to? Maybe I need smarter friends, lol.

Ah, good for you for trying!! I’m sure it’s hard, those trash games are made to be addictive…as have games always been really, but the evil was hidden better and they didn’t have the ability to track your every move.

Dude it’s sad what kids are subject too now. Endless ad spam and shit games. They’ll always be corpo brainwashed.
