why stop at edge, open every single program at start up and also fill the screen with pop up ads while you are at it

plug the cooling vents of those crapfactories

you wouldn’t preserve media important to you from disappearance!

it wont remain at that. i bet they will disable that setting occasionally and make you wait that 24h again and again.

except that blackwall was put there by corporations to protect their interests(malicious ai not messing everything up). Here we need that kind of blackwall to protect our interest against corporations which are essentially the malicious entities. But I wonder if non-corporate people/groups can even consider such projects anymore let alone maintain them so it would protect more than couple of people or small groups. It seems to me humanity in the west has lost the community spirit completely. Even fediverse feels more like fading embers that still warm you. Its just everyone for themselves and maybe their own little clique.

i would really love to be wrong.

or maybe if you accidentally swiped a harddrive magnet on them

the whole point of age verification is control of adults. Kids are always just excuse, people who spout “think of the children!!” style rethoric always couldnt care less about kids. Those who do dont yell about it and actually do stuff to help kids, so its easy to tell them apart.

Hmm yea, and now i noticed that i misread something earlier and the amount was for compensation for singular person and not fine. Hopefully more people will get justice with this.

~~There should be demonstrations against bullshit rulings like this, this amount is basically no fine at all for them. And after the demonstrations go unheard, maybe we shouldnt just tolerate this shit. At the very least everyone should give support to those who do more against the megacorps. ~~

amusing yourself with silly songs and also not tormenting others with them

if there is no malicious intent in adding this, they really should learn to read the room.

well, obviously. that happens on some external service.

I wonder if there will come a point where everything is just too messed up to even salvage

I tried sending a message to one one, i forget which, and they essentially replied that they see nothing wrong with it, so more people need to complain.

they want to suppress the developers, not users. By making it so bothersome, so many people will just stop using sources from outside google play. First they do this and at some later time they will add more hoops to it. If they manage to strangle any developers that make stuff, people will have nowhere to turn yet they cant complain either because google will have undeniable monopoly.

literal deathtrap

using llm to program is nuclear bomb level security disaster in making. Eventually they will have ousted anyone competent out and affter that no one will be there to fix the security flaws that llm generated code creates. I just hope the companies that get the worst of the consequences also deserve them.

i can even kind of think of how to manage something like that, it would just work on only with 100% remote work and would also require quite a lot of cooperation, competency and trust from the clients. and it would still require you to “acquire the goods”, as in get a job. But then you could share it with other people. So in the end multiple people would be pretending to be one person, but since the load is shared each could do multiple different “persons”.

if we cant protect them, we didnt deserve them in the first place.
