The ruling could determine whether access to the internet—today’s lifeline for education, work, and civic life—can be taken away as punishment for digital misdeeds
And this is how we get a CCP Digital Firewall. Combine this with the Flock cameras, Ring doorbells, and years of data networks collecting information on us for advertising, and I do not see this going well at all.
“Nothing in the constitution says internet use is a right”
“Slower” implies you’re projecting the same end results. Do they think the missing numbers are just not using a computer at all? In the digital age? By far your largest numbers of actual Win11 migrators are companies whose tech policy is the CYA “update everything in case we get hacked”.
The common folk are not going to buy a new computer just to get a slower Windows installation. The people who migrate from Windows 10/7 holdouts are going to be migrating to Linux.
So plenty of people have pointed out this tweet is forged, but similar sentiment has been shared by Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes, and other “manosphere”/alt-right grifters.
I just want to put out clearly what these men mean, and what the dog-whistle here is: They are not saying a man with a penis fucking a woman’s pussy is gay. They are saying that a man following all the acts of affection and consideration to the physical and emotional wants and needs of your partner is: effeminate, inferior, non-masculine, and therefore “gay”. This is what incels argue when they complain about “modern women” and divorce and “gold diggers”. Being anything less than an egotist, entitle, aggressive prick is “gay”; and they know just as well as their critics, that few women would take a relationship like that.
The Turning Point USA/Heritage Foundation evangelical-type want women as Second-Class Citizens. The manosphere/incel type want women as property --[sold from father to husband] property. (Well, that’s the vision they sell. The grifters want men single and alone; shut-in and consuming their content.)
I was not expecting Mamdani to meet with Trump, but looking back it makes sense. Butter him up, and he’ll support anyone. If Elon Musk and JD Vance could get Trump’s support by glazing him, anyone can.
Trump has flip-flopped on positions repeatedly. Gun control, LGBTQ+ rights. It’s all ego for him. Always has been. I guess all you need to do is sweet talk him the right way.
“You WILL like my AI. Why don’t you like my AI? mmMOOOOMM!!!”
(to title) I mean, if you’re a woman, yeah :p
Bigger picture: The whole way people talk about talking about mental health struggles is so weird. Like, I hate this whole generative AI bubble, but there’s a much bigger issue here.
Speaking from the USA, “suicidal ideation” is treated like terrorist ideology in this weird corporate-esque legal-speak with copy-pasted disclaimers and hollow slogans. It’s so absurdly stupid I’ve just mentally blocked off trying to rationalize it and just focus on every other way the world is spiraling into techno-fascist authoritarianism.
Can we talk about the second half where the guy’s proclaiming the benefit that when legislators miss sessions, the AI can tell them what they missed, and how they should respond??? Sounds wonderful. Let’s have our legislators getting orders from miss Edi Rama’s 83 slop-goblins.
One minute ago I was mourning and feeling lost about the world. I open Lemmy and: 83 AI kids. This has been the entire last year: bouncing between feeling lost in life and feeling baffled by the stupidity of life. Our government AI minister is pregnant with 83 kids.
“Isn’t running America” jfc millions of dollars was spent for a sick slow-rolling display of his delusions of prowess in Kennywood. He got his own prime-time TV show. His fame and existence is a testament to the gullibility of the USA population.
The way that all this “AI” processing has been trained, it almost always fails for anyone who doesn’t fit the white middle-class aesthetic. Voice-to-text generative AI processing will screw up for people with accents, including non-native speakers; also someone who slurs their words, or talks in African-American Vernacular English. Also, it requires someone to know how to speak and listen in a language. Clicking on icons and inputting commands is the same regardless of what language you speak. This just reeks of out-of touch nepo-baby executives.
Absolutely. https://apnews.com/article/trump-ai-rfk-jr-health-tech-fa73703bd1fd557c787ef0b590e151f1 (second paragraph)
More than 60 companies, including major tech companies like Google, Amazon and Apple as well as health care giants like UnitedHealth Group and CVS Health, have agreed to share patient data in the system.
oh, yeah, of course Musk’s companies go on there… and I saw a few things about Oracle’s surveillance efforts.
What happened to “Don’t share your real identity online”? Oh… Social Media.
Well before the UK online ID laws, I saw some memes about people getting asked for ID as proof of age for NSFW servers, just to send to server admins. I figured it was a ID fraud scheme of some sort, but now I’d chalk it up to manic “protect the children” believers.
Have you seen the USA? UK? Russia? China? I really don’t want the government making any system to tie internet to any identity. I really don’t want any government having any role in the internet.
only one way to find out!
