Cloud sync, ease of use, ability to be a comp, massive catalog. I don’t use my switch anymore tbh.

Didn’t love it but definitely in favor of them having taken a shot at it

I literally said I vote democrat because the GOP is worse but as you conveniently proved in my point you all have brain worms and are stupidly partisan.

Democrats absolutely don’t give a shit about what their politicians are doing. Both sides are mindlessly tribal and partisan and it’s infuriating. Yes I usually vote D because Rs are generally worse but holy shit you both suck so fucking bad and are ruining the country with your idiocy.

I think the biggest issue is how nearly certain this is to be used on citizens as well (if it isn’t already). I think it’s pretty short hops from ‘something they don’t like posted’ -> search or confiscate phone every time you cross international border -> ???

And none of this requires probable cause or a warrant.

Yeah I mean I basically just try to convince people I know IRL and vote against anyone I can who supports/voted for this stuff. Definitely sucks but do what you can.

This, warrantless searches, patriot act shenanigans, endless other revelations and sadly no one cares

I don’t disagree with your premise but I do think the latter two should be mostly avoidable as issues. If the workers are involved in the decisions then they would be able to spend (or decide it is not worth the expense) on cooling technology (AC for indoors or any other outdoor/personal solutions). Seems less of an issue than saying corporate doesn’t care etc.

Yeah the obvious solution is to ban harvesting and storing of especially identifying data and the associated targeted ads etc but that will certainly never happen.

Yeah there usually not much you can do but hope for a change. Mine had drinking problems and was much like this. Went sober finally and he still is similar politically just not insufferable and can take a joke so it’s far more pleasant to be around him.

Good luck…

They still collecting and selling your shit

100% it’s total nonsense

I admit to not having read the Israeli founding documents but I’d bet it doesn’t call for eradicating Palestinians.

Happy for the dog. Less happy (but not surprised) that it is being trained to falsely alert. Much easier to screen people for no reason that way!

Yes it’s still in use and very bad. Here is the most important snippet:

“It’s creepy what they’re doing, but there will be many more of these companies. There is no monopoly on math,” said Al Gidari, a privacy professor at Stanford Law School. “Absent a very strong federal privacy law, we’re all screwed.”

Also here is an arguably better article: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/my-chilling-run-in-with-a-secretive-facial-recognition-app/ar-AA1hlrxc

The short answer is bad in US less bad in countries that banned its use but can’t put genie back in the bottle even there. The concept is not crazy.

Is the predicted just average up to that time with error bars of confidence?

Yes thankfully I realized this after a bit because I could not click in and block due to crash!

Well I guess he owned it at least…lol

Unfortunately this is probably true. I for one did delete my account and am working on figuring out Lemmy now but hey.
