As an open source developer, I’d love to have had contributors to help package my apps. It was killing me maintaining everything by myself. It sounds like the control issues I had when I first had contributors, where I didn’t want others to touch my babies too much when people actually started writing code.

By the nine! The emperor has brought back Talos worship!

Mine is 5 years old. Doing just fine.

2020 iPhone SE is my favorite phone. It’s the perfect size and power. Apple’s going to have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

I mean I’d say the Stage of Technology we’ve been in since like 2010 has been very detrimental for the individual and destructive to society. Social media, smartphones, surveillance states. AI is an even worse version of these. If social media ran by billionaires are not open, unbiased, non-manipulative emotional-reactaction-over-critical-thinking silos, what makes you think all these LLMs run by millionaires and billionaires won’t be? They’re just the next step in social media.

Good job trolling an autistic person who can’t read another person’s intentions. Big winner there. Like the village champ. Lmao

But you act like I worship them or something. I hate them too, I just think they’re not as important as we make them. Facebook shouldn’t be a public utility because it would still be detrimental to society. People don’t need it. But the internet itself, the wires, the protocols are. They should be as public as roads.

But Twitter? What do you do with that? And should we even care about it? I’ve never even had an account for it ever in its existence.

Edit: honestly, I just don’t think the government should have any control or input to information that is available. And big tech shouldn’t be cozy with them, like TikTok, meta, and the trump admin now. That makes them compromised in my eyes.

Also, again, any source of information that consists of an algorithmic feed beyond date sorting is bad for you. Thats every social media silo.

I’m not even saying that. Lmao y’all really projected way further. All I’m saying, if you don’t like someone’s product or maintaining of it, don’t use it. The internet and social media silos aren’t the same thing lol

Nobody needs social media. There are a tons of other tools that replace what little functionality they have. They’re just not one click and all your friends aren’t on them.

Their monopoly would be useless if we made it so. Like who gets most of their information from these places when you have the entire web?

Get smarter about your information sources. But maybe I should be nicer, because you could have been born at a time when social media and platforms had become the internet, but for me, it’s always been just a sub block of it.

I mean of course, from a legal standpoint.

I was looking at it from a personal one. Like I’d recommend keeping him away from the girls regardless.

Don’t we all know he is already? I have assumed Clinton was a pervert most of my life. It just fits.

Because if it’s mine, I can do what I want with it. Did you build it? Contribute anything? It’s only communistic if you actually contribute. People often forget that part of communism. You have to contribute just as much to have a say. Thats why it’s for the WORKERS. So if you aren’t involved, you don’t have a say to my property.

Also, again, your point is moot in the face of my initial comment. The internet is a public utility (Atleast it should be). Facebook is a private one, and isnt yours. You have no right to it if you didn’t contribute

Because one is public access to the web, the other is a private platform, and not the web. Facebook and Instagram aren’t the web and aren’t open access to the world’s information. It’s like saying your rights are being trampled on if Walmart bans you from their store. You still have access to food.

I could barely read it with it there. I had to cover it

That extra comma is killing me

It’s more about data collection than it is about verifying age

My only exception to that are uber drivers. But then again we live in an age where somehow better help has become popular, even though they sell your data.

They’re going to start persecuting the homeless and mentally ill and dragging them into facilities. The message appears to be compassion, but the language is not. THAT is where you’ll find the true meaning of this EO. Fuck me, this is it for me. Homeless people are not an overall threat, they need help, not forced pinning. I used to be homeless. This sets me off.
