Ah, OK. That they did.

It’s also the herd reaction. It may be enough to have a couple of bots downvote or upvote something, and then the crowd goes after them.

Not even talking about, say, someone being pissed and going to other user’s profile to downvote all their recent comments.

It’s just useful to see such things - one-day-old accounts putting reactions, and one and the same user following you to press their internet satisfaction arrow.

In any case anonymous reactions just don’t make any sense, it’s a number, what if most in that number are jerks? (Actually they are, I can’t imagine stooping low enough to care to put a downvote, but not writing why).

OK, so there’s a technology that can be used to assist those who know what they are doing, or to pretend.

So it can be only used for things which don’t require responsibility. It can’t be used as a source in arguments, it can’t be used as a confirmation of a hypothesis, it can’t be used to make decisions.

So - the moment it’s possible fools start trying to stuff it in all these roles.

Why?

Easy, because they didn’t need it in any other roles! Only in those with burden of responsibility, because they want to make that burden smaller, get rid of responsibility so that they’d get the win, and somebody else the cost. Not only people too often want to use “AI” where they shouldn’t, they also very rarely use it where they should. Because they wanted a brain amplifier in the first place, something that thinks and takes responsibility instead of them! Not a tool to do something already easy.

There was the philosopher’s stone for medieval alchemists, and then there was romanticism for early XIX century’s liberals, and then there was misguided fascination with Plato’s “Republic” for late XIX activists, and then early XX century fascination with nihilism and monsters of steel as the solution to all problems.

OK, fine, all the world might say whatever it wants, but my units are powers of 2.

I think all reactions should be exposed.

A word’s meaning is how it’s used. Also yes, there are.

I think the important separation is not between left and right, it’s between truth and lie, or between principle and momentary gain.

I mean, he’s technically better-behaving than Mozilla itself then.

But I think these endless splits over disagreements and inability to cooperate in the split state are systemic.

So maybe the whole typical-left “let’s unite and make a thing and boot everyone who shows a sign of rot” is systemically harmful. See, people who show signs of rot - they are the better kind. The really bad people don’t show any signs of rot until it’s too late. Actually they may not show anything, be like Mozilla tops.

And also one kind of rot is not rot for some people, and the other is not rot for other group of people, and so on. It would be good to build a way of cooperation where people are impeded from cooperation only with whom they themselves disagree, and not the majority.

Same as my other idea that there should be a way of moderation, where a person’s ability to choose is strengthened with all the amazing technology we have, and not with benevolent MITM.

From what’s written here, it appears you have an Intel Mac and the thing has only ARM Mac executable, or the other way around.

Nintendo, when chasing developers of emulators and modders, uses regulatory mechanisms. IP is such a mechanism initially. Intended to protect the little guy from big bad corporations.

It’s hard to say whether that is itself a cause or result of wealth inequality, though.

It’s both of course. Only time flows in one direction and never the other.

No.

Does EVERY axis in life have to be fucked up at the same time?

Yes. There are many texts written on this since start of writing, some are written down from what was carried in word before that since start of speaking.

That’s a retcon of hardware producers using measurement units confusion to advertise less as more.

It’s nice to have consistent units naming, but when the industry has existed for a long enough time with the old ones, seems intentional harm for profit.

Ultra brings memories, but Sun was better than Apple.

Though having said that, Sun was kinda greedy too and their hardware was about the same degree of proprietary as Apple’s.

Aesthetically Sun was amazing, though, and Apple is tasteless, aimed at plebes (technically Julius Caesar was from a plebe noble family, but nobody thinks in such nuance or that plebe noble family is a thing).

I’m not sure of that. People are people.

What doesn’t work with Lynx is a wrong website.

You can, it’ll cost more and give you less, but you can.

That’s the way this works.

Which changes rules, but not the resulting balance or lack thereof.

Dunno, if it’ll blast marches …

Stargate SG-1, full of blatant military propaganda (I know it’s not so bad, but), was filmed there.

If the US is going back on the deal, then Canada should too. Make it legal to jailbreak all US tech.

That should be considered with plans for further escalation varying from nothing to an embargo.

Though arguably piracy and jailbreaking are not so bad for said domination. Microsoft practically encouraged piracy in ex-USSR at some point. Piracy solves the availability problem, supports market share, leads to short-term loss in sales but long-term growth.

But that’s Microsoft, while US government in general seems to think DMCA is for them what the Sound was for the Danish crown in middle ages.
