This means I’m not ignoring them, just not even seeing them

You mean like my PC suddenly stops working when it doesn’t receive updates, or how it suddenly falls apart when the warranty goes out? Funny thing, the people tried to use the same argument when purchasing US planes to try to claim the opposite, that they would still be useful regardless of US attempts at intervention. Decide which is which, maybe?
Anyway, points aside, doesn’t stop from these theories actually existing, as your “All these backdoor fantasies” allude to, so I’m not sure whom you are trying to argue against since in this comment I’m not even pushing them. It’s just making a light-hearted jest that went “whoooosh” past you.


Guess we will know if these weapons have hidden backdoors to disable them soon enough. If anyone would trigger them for such a trivial disagreement, it’s Trump.


The only thing that makes the EU bureaucracy seem like it’s functional are competing national interests. When all nations are being targeted by foreign automated propaganda through their social networks to promote shifts in their governments to allow this sort of bull, it doesn’t even matter that the US is directly issuing threats against the EU, only just what corrupt long time career politicians can get out of it.


Sort of a pull yourself by your own bootstraps problem, although there’s been more than enough opportunities. It’s just easier to blame society as a whole and do nothing except all the ways we’ve been told are the legitimate ways to protest - which don’t include prosecuting for treason and sedition.


Span the World
Being that some of those places have monarchies themselves, maybe protesters could get past the whole American anti-King culture this tries to rile up and focus on it being anti-authoritarian. Maybe even, anti-fascist? Whoops, on a list now.
j/k I’ve always been on a list


Where’s Lavos when you need it.


I’m sorry, I cannot understand your comment.


Does a good parent place restrictions on what their child can and can’t do? Yes. The thing about bad parents is that they are notoriously irresponsible. They would be the least likely to utilize such a feature.


He shouldn’t even have gotten Machado’s, that was a dumb gamble from her.


I wonder what tipped the balances. Was it the threat of Epstein prosecutions? Was it the threat that the oligarchy might be taken down a few places? Or was it just pure greed? Because it certainly wasn’t out of ideals, feigning loyalty to bullshit populist grass roots movements was just the means to an end.
Hint: it was all three.


You are talking about going against a cartel of oligopolies that have locked down the technology sector with the IP they control and who have cutthroat control over where the latest technology is deployed. What we at home can do is playact “It’s back to the 90s!” and go back to the technology we had several decades ago, which is more viable than it sounds.
If they want to act like cartels with the greatest and latest, nothing is forcing people to use it. Unfortunately, the technological divide will still be there. Tech minimalism, go human, recycle old tech, we have a lot of crap we’ve disposed off over the years that would otherwise still run fine. To create competition, there needs to be the breeding grounds for it, and if that means having to do with what the lunar lander did, then do so and exercise that brain in the process too.


Devil’s advocate, is it really that bad for someone who is a parent to be able to easily zone of their Linux distro for their children? And yeah, I get there are a number of methods to do this like locking down accounts, but something like this would have the potential of automating whom the rules apply to.


Honestly, someone like JD Vance believes what it is convenient for him to believe, and right now it is convenient for him to believe the same sort of drivel that the base dumb enough to build their authoritarian regime around believes. I don’t think it was coincidence that soldiers were spouted biblical narratives preceding the latest Iran invasion, these are the sort of loyal reliable zealots whose lack of foundation in reality is actually an asset for them. They are the ones being promoted and getting the jobs at the root of their command chains.


People don’t care about reality, they just care about their ego.
The data set and the algorithm are still there, it’s just not available to the public anymore. I wonder who will still get access to it. This just seems to follow the general trend of oligarchs encouraging startups to do anything and everything to disrupt an industry, go as far as they can, and then pull them out through any pressure, government or corporate, as they try to scavenge what they want.
Besides that, there’s still alternatives alive, local or otherwise, and I doubt the people who were using Sora are suddenly going to stop without trying to search for alternatives first. People are celebrating after just chopping off the first head of the hydra.


While many of them continue to suck up to the pedophile-in-chief. The irony. It’s very telling that they place all the blame to the last link in the chain, they may very well be able to include entrapment in their defense.
