i am very happy. something happened in 2025 that made me pro europe but then they started pushing meta’s age id law. i am happy tje courts are keeping france honest.
these laws are about tracking and control. i always tell people to never support a law that claims to protect children. its always a lie.
or better yet, not give money to facist causes
i started to take one test and a lot if it is over simplified or just mem. but there are two specific things i wpuld like to point out.
the statement about pornography is over simplified. it was worded in such a way that a crack down on porn is good, agree or not. it over simplified because there are a group of prople eho see it as immorsl and a crack down means stopping it for immoral reasons, however it needs intervention. there is nothing erong with fully consenting adilts doing porn but there is a lot if predatory snd exploitative things happening to make money in that industry. its not a simple topic. i have no issie with it in concept but the industry has a lot of problems and needs rehilation.
there seems to be a misunderstanding of social contract. social vontract is where i sau “i give up my right to kill people so i live in a society where i am safer”
side note, this statement doesnt make complete sense: “Insurance should be used voluntarily by individuals rather than welfare.”
i can see welfare being compared with guaranteed minimum income but not insurance.
you are correct, everything in thatvarticle ia stupid. but his first tweet was being more if a dick than stupidity. he enjoys being a dick.
i have a better response to him thn anyone else gave. vlc is orovided as open source , a community effort. for a oerson who not only coded ebtire game by himself but also created a programming language., he can pull down vlc and fix his problem… if its so fixable.
brave is a no go for most people because of its facist politics. not only is vivaldi fully customizable, i had no problems synching or accessing tabs from other devices.
capcut has never been open source but here is an open source capcut alternative
well now it has story and npcs.
this doesnt take away from xbox, gamepass is xbox. they havent cared about windows for almost a decade
i started to read but the person across from him wasnt a tech person so i couldnt take the author seriously.
until this comment, so did i.
i am not sure there are any politics to debate , killing nazis is good.
you could try the old.medal of honor or, for a good story but also old- brothers in arms.
no, microsoft stopped caring sbout windows because thats not how it makes money. thats how it made money i the 20th centiry but not how it makes money now. Azure is where they make money.
plus, this is more work for them. this entire push has been by meta.
you are not understanding correctly, you are parroting click bait titles.
People are downvotimg you without explaoning. ai has not shown signs of self preservation. i guessing you have seen some of the marketing campaigns for the llms. they are rpivrms rhat do what they are told to do. they perform language by choosing rhe next best word.
the technology is veru cool but its not magic. we are not near spme great evolution.
once good company
i only played gta 1 but i remember you guys bitching about greediness with 5. maybe it was multiplayer? i cant remember exactly but i know there has been greediness for a long time.
i dont understand why you are confused. are you suggesting they should be in the OS? so each library has to be managed at least 6 times and then the ides and language tools have to support all these different stores? i bet ci/cd would just be awesome
or are you suggesting that all language maintainers work together in harmony and support one another?
C and C++ dont have package managers because they are older than the concept.
so the commenter before you was using what we call sarcasm.:)
as someone who uses ai to help on researching an issue/question - i have no understanding whyvpeople just submit generated code. i realize i just dont use it to generate stuff. i use it to find stuff.
when this forst came out, i thought non devs would use it for creating an app that they use at home just for them. but no, i constantly see people posting about their project and trying to getvpeople involved. a project fully generated by an llm. or as in the issue here, generating code to be merged into a project…why? i jist dont get it.
my knee jerk reaction was thinking the same as you but this very paticular case, i am not sure. i havent made up my mind.
lets talk about opposite ends and then talk about snapchat
if a person is sitting in mcdonalds saying they want to shoot up a school, we wouldnt think it weird if someone called the authorities. in fact peoples lives have been saved because someone overheard something
in contrast, a private conversation on signal should never be read and everyone should stop using it if it is read.
now snap chat is neither a public place or an encrypted communication app. it falls in between. it is a social media app. would you be worried if it was facebook? i keep thinking about it. why shouldnt snapchat report it? keep on mind that i have never used snapchat, facebook, or instagram and i thought snapchat was basically for sending pictures. (i am older). but, honest question, why would people expect privacy on snapchat? again, i havent used it and not as “hip”, so i am genuinely asking and this isnt a loaded question
Well there was that whole ordeal with Nob and Doug… i dont really want to talk about it.
