I honestly can’t understand why anyone would be OK with it. I think our society has been getting trained to just accept whatever they throw at us. “Buying” something no longer means fully owning it, and I’m not OK with that, I just have to live with it.
I disagree - definitely not OK by me, though likely legal. People bought this because they wanted and paid extra for an internet connected device, and a regular thermostat is not that. I mean, would you be OK if your TV manufacturer disabled the screen and streamed radio stations instead?
Screen is often blurry at 150%. Too small at 100%, too big at 200%. Waiting for next release which is supposed to improve fractional scaling.
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, or even if it’s real, but this post is still interesting:
I truly am confused about what point you’re trying to make. That we should live by the social structures from a thousand years ago? Or is it that you believe we’ve perfected the social structure and it needs no further change as of today? Or something else?
I totally agree with you about our humanity. And unfortunately, as part of humanity, if we don’t pursue military AI, our adversaries will.
Ask yourself some questions about the situation, and give yourself honest answers.
These are sample questions. Ask yourself about specific concerns that worry you. Sometimes, the responses will require follow-up questions. Point is to end pointless worrying and start looking at the problem logically and realistically, without the emotion clouding your thinking.
I was wondering what the Keyword blocking feature was all about, then I read this:
“Begone, Elon/X spam!”
…and now it’s my favorite Voyager feature! Thank you!!!
Trump was tough on China.
It reads like a bot trying to sow division.
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Interesting, thank you. Any truly privacy focused browsers you recommend?
Thank you, and same to you with my upvote.
Thanks for the upvote, and back at you. I’m thinking bots would be used to change discourse for whatever purposes.
I feel the same. I wasn’t worrried about this post getting tons of downvotes for no reason, but I would have avoided posting it on reddit.
Same back to you, fellow Fedinaut :).
lol, and I hope I’m lol’ing to an actual person.
I’m wondering if they’re trustworthy with my data? I use the Brave browser and at least so far they haven’t tried to sell my browsing data. I’ve heard about the selling Brave Search stuff though, so I’m looking for good alternatives.
Who develops the Arc browser? Is it open source?
It’s election season, so get used to this. Other countries have learned how to divide us using social media, not to mention the years of experience Fox New and Co. have in doing just that. On top of it, we now have AI generated posts to contend with. It’s not getting better anytime soon…personally, I just ignore any post that sounds like it’s inflammatory (which sadly are almost all political posts, and everything Musk).
