Seems like many are just feigning lack of awareness, imo. Casual observation shows a pattern of looking the other way when bad things are happening to people they don’t like.
Car rental agencies and airlines come to mind as well. I was almost unable to purchase a ticket for my better half after we got married as we were slow to process paperwork for name changes on our credit cards. We were…

Trash mods really do hurt that place. I reported a physical assault, some punk kid with an airsoft taking potshots at pedestrians, to my local sub to warn others. Turned out the guy had been at it for weeks all over…
Not just silos, going through the Dakotas and Missouri put it fairly close to Ellsworth and Whiteman, as well.
That was a poor edit on my part. My apologies. What I meant to say was the assertion that occasionally recommending YoungTurks somehow mitigates the right-leaning bias of the site, as suggested with the statement “then…
I don’t need to reword the findings to make them support my assertion. Again those findings: “We also find that, *on average*, the YouTube recommendation algorithm pulls users slightly to the right of the political…
“Pulls users slightly to the right” So the indoctrination isn’t obvious? So it’s subtle? That makes it more pernicious, in my eyes. I never said anything about a vast majority. To indoctrinate doesn’t mean convert an…
I was raised on tech. A third generation computer user, started writing software at seven under my father’s guidance. A Luddite I am not, but this doesn’t bode well for our future. YouTube is basically an indoctrination…
The number of man hours that would be necessary to plausibly fake even a short film in Photoshop, if I had to guess. It strikes me as analogous to owning sidearms versus BMGs and rocket launchers. One of these tools…
Whoa, whoa, I never claimed the technology was the “debil”. I merely asked for examples of viable, moral, unique uses of this tech.
I’ve only had time for a cursory glance at this writing, but let me thank you for sounding the horn on the on Web 3.0. It was bad enough adding Ajax calls to websites and calling it Web 2.0. At least that had something…
#2 sounds really interesting! I’m not sure of the psychological ramifications, but I can’t imagine they’d be different than any other sort of prosthesis save for an inability to actually touch it. I could see it being…
That is pretty neat, any sort of art does add cultural and social utility to a degree. Thanks for the heads up, because just about every mention I’ve seen published on the topic is more or less a horror story. I wasn’t…
First let me thank you for a thoughtful riposte! I do appreciate that. My question was an honest one and I imagine, not the easiest to conceive an answer to. I genuinely appreciate your taking the time to share your…
Can anybody demonstrate a legitimate use of deepfake software? Has it ever been used to facilitate a socially positive or desirable outcome? While I recognize my experiences are far from definitive, I hazard most would…
I recently realized you can bypass cookie auth requests by toggling reader. Led me to wonder what the EU plans on doing to enforce compliance if JavaScript isn’t enabled, for example. Kind of makes the legal obligations…
I’m rarely impressed anymore for whatever reasons, but even in the midst of a miserable bout of viral induced malady, I have to stand in awe of this. I can’t even fathom the skill required to move a piece of equipment…
The microkernel would like a word with you, good sir. As would the Unix toolchain, the Google suite, iWork, and Microsoft Office. If it was modular, you wouldn’t need separate apps per se. On the other side of the…
Streaming functionality isn’t chat, though. AMD gives you the option to not install streaming functionality when you install their drivers and I’m pretty sure they target gamers too. It reminds me of the age of Windows…
I must be having a hard time waking up today, or something, because I can’t wrap my brain around why a chat app would need 3D acceleration. The first chat sites on the web e.g. Bianca’s, Poolside, and Talker were built…
A four year accredited program ensures students take four years worth of course credits. If programs reduced requirements merely for knowledge rather than demonstration of an ability to act on that knowledge, it would…
Fault tolerance was how Next branded it, IIRC. If an instance of a long running process doesn’t communicate with an external monitor, then it’s assumed to have hung or crashed at which point it is restarted by the…
I wrote a few CGI applications for Schotton’s MacHTTP and the WebStar server on MacOS 7. Back before the days of OpenTransport! Yes, I’m old.
