I actually like this idea. It provides more girth for when I make pro-Google threads on Lemmy, set notifications to vibrate and shove the phone in my asshole.

Shitass touch

That’s also “dual booting”. The phrase never referred specifically to having two OSes on the same drive, just on the same machine.

I think your question comes from thinking that anybody involved in this grift cares about anything other than short-term results. They would sell both their own kidneys as long as they only had to deliver after the next quarterly earnings report.

Thank you!

Conservative lawmakers don’t know anything about porn, because if they ever recorded themselves fucking and the recording got out, they’d go to jail for statutory rape.

They’re generally very comfortable around Grindr though.

By creating a plaintext dotfile in $HOME, I’d reckon. Minimum effort, gets the job done. Users can lie when setting up the account so protecting the file against tampering is pointless.

But more likely, not a single distro will implement anything by default because it doesn’t make sense to change your internationally-distributed OS because one state in one country passed a stupid law.

I apologize in advance for how pedantic this comment will be but “half the US now requires” obviously refers to half the administrative units (states in this case, could be counties or municipalites etc) while “half the US is required” would refer to the population, so technically the post title is not wrong because of the population distribution.

I’m going to wash my hands now so that my fingers forget they typed this.

So if a teen shoots up a school even though the gun manufacturor says not to shoot up schools, suddenly we don’t have a gun control problem but a teens don’t read the TOS problem.

Yeah, that sounds right for the USA.

Best typo ITT by far.

Speaking of, there’s VPNs or you could use PIHole to block Microsoft’s telemetry and AI ips.

That game of cat and mouse would get very tiresome very fast and Microsoft would win in the end. Better to hope for new vwrsions of Tiny11 or one of those debloater scripts to disable the AI features entirely, but they’d probably be reinstated with every update. Maybe use a hook to re-run the script after every update? I don’t even know if that’s possible in Windows.

Thankfully I’ve been Microsoft free for years now so I don’t have to know. Linux is a blessing.

No, that’s the kind of thinking that prevents me from taking 13-year-old stoners on Lemmy seriously when they talk about helping them to rule “their” world like they’re going to crown themselves Pharaoh of the Earth.

Assume whatever you want.

Yeah, I don’t really want to live in “your” world and I definitely want no part in governing it. But I wish you the best in your endeavour.

You’re defending a very defensible position with the weirdest arguments.

The problem is that without evidence of mishandling, what can we achieve? How can we force Google to be more transparent? The only way I see is via the courts, and they require proof.

I’m not. I would be if the USA had been a healthy democracy when he did that, but it wasn’t. Trump just made evident the problems that had been festering for decades.

The USA is like the late Roman Empire. Most elected officials at the municipal, state and federal level are either corrupt or passive in the face of corruption. The news only occasionally reports truthfully on a political issue and that’s probably only because the truth happened to coincide with the agenda they had already decided to push before the truth even happened. The wealth inequality is much higher than what is tolerable and growing at an accelerating rate. The population is either too beaten down to resist tyranny or too distracted by entertainment to care.

The only two possible paths for the country now are an all-out civil war or an inevitable march into an overt dictatorship.

Or Trump could die. That would be the best solution. And if we’re really lucky, nobody will even have to assassinate him as is the patriotic duty of every single American; he’s old and senile and his health is shit. He could die tomorrow. But he won’t because this is the worst possible timeline.

Since you didn’t specify the kind of “AI” model, I’ll assume you mean LLMs. But this really applies to any so-called AI model. All of them are trained on stolen content. Every last one of them is a hurricane of millions upon millions of copyright violations. So the answer to your question is a loud, resounding “no”.

No.
