Ungoverned is the way to go. It should only be used by private companies and then let capitalism regulate itself. It’s a self-regulating system and if the consumers don’t like mind controll gas, it’ll eventually go away.

Well, if they didn’t care about being flooded with machine generated trash, they wouldn’t have set the limit to books you can self publish down to a mere three per day.
Here’s a basically fully automated service where you can generate a shitty book for $200. You can even have it printed as a paperback for more useless waste or have it AI narrated as a shitty audiobook.
I hate everything about it.
This can only mean that Google is about to axe a product that people like and instead introduce a new chat app.
I assume by “fail” you mean “didn’t succeed in preventing California from building an efficient high-speed rail system”, right?
You probably underestimate the amount of effort Apple puts into not doing this, to maintain user privacy, and for a good while their services have suffered for it.
As an example I’d highlight the year in review feature between Apple Music and Spotify. “Replay” is significantly worse than “Wrapped” and I believe the difference is data handling is the key differentiator. However, there are some advances in balancing privacy 2ith utility, as highlighted in this post from Apple ML research: https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/scenes-differential-privacy
My thought exactly. Arabic numerals imply the decimal system and then people can’t use their grandma’s recipes anymore.
I think even using decimals like that seems un-American, because I’ve always been told that fractions are what makes imperial so easy. Everyone loves calculating fractions after all, so perhaps a cent should be 1/37th of a dollar.
It’s actually kinda weird that they use dollars and cents and not pounds, shillings, pennies and farthings, because that feels much more compatible with the imperial way of thinking.
The historical context here is that’s how you cracked eggs in the middle ages, before they had our modern egg-cracking technology. You balanced the egg on the head of a priest or monk and then hit it with a rock. So the excitement comes from the imminent enjoyment of a freshly cracked egg.
Also many birds, especially corvids.
In case you’re wondering, this is a drawing by the Argentinian comic artist Quino.
I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to molesting kids.
“Yeah I know what the church did and it doesn’t bother me in the least. If those kids didn’t want to be molested, they shouldn’t have been near priests.”
Yeah, come to think of it, Trumpers also seemed to enjoy RAtM a lot until they got all political.
I’d also be extremely surprised if there was any, as much as a single (sentient) individual, overlap in the Trump and Guthrie fanbase.
Smoking meats.
I’m the meat chef.
I was just thinking the exact same thing. Things seems to have accelerated lately, but I don’t know if this is something regular users even notice or care about and it just feels significant to us because of the recent twitter and reddit idiocy.
I am super excited about all the attention the fediverse is getting. There are still a ton issues to be solved here, but decentralization feels like the next evolutionary step of the web.
One of the issues is “who’s gonna pay for it”? And I think the answer is something like “most users are”, in the sense that you’d pay your local instance, the same way you used to pay for newsgroups. Thus keeping it out of the hands of venture capitalists, hedge funds and billionaires in general, because hopefully we’ve learned that that’s a bad thing.
People are downvoting you, because they fail to see the reference to Tucker Carlson always being mock confused about even very simple things and making that stupid fart-smelling face.
