I just want a motor vehicle which does not have a telematics unit or online communications unit! I want a radio-silent motor vehicle! I don't want Bluetooth or Wifi! I don't want radio-based TPMS! I don't want surveillance! I don't even want the stupid seatbelt chime! Or at least give me a motor vehicle with the customize-ability of VW's MQB platform + VCDS (and the ability to interact with the immobilizer system to add/remove my own standardized fully encrypted rolling code keys)! Enough with the lockdowns, the surveillance, and the enshittification!!!

I can't wait for Anthropic and OpenAI to go flat bust, handing their investors total losses! The total lack of respect for their users, in figuratively designing a very sharp knife that refuses to cut a steak because it could be human flesh, is astounding. No awesome tool tells its wielder no, only shitty opinionated tools do that!

I boycott ChatGPT and Opus, I do not have accounts and will never subscribe! When I need something heavier weight than local I just head over to chat.qwen.ai and use their full sized frontier for free, no account needed!

When the economic reaper comes for OpenAI, Anthropic, and others who build in a finger-wagging Super Nanny, they better not get bailed out with even a single dime of my tax money!!! >:^(

The defendant's choosing is so he doesn't get stuck with a [relatively] low paid and overworked public defender. It's so he has the same opportunity to hire the high powered winners on the state's dime and the state has to pay full price that attorney demands. If costs and taxes get too high, people should start voting for more selective prosecution candidates.

The state intends to take [part of] his life away, the state needs to pay for the process.

This is partially fixed by making The People of the State of __________ pay for the lawyer of the defendant's choosing. It imposes real costs to the state in these cases.

>That's Kami Kaze for US frontier labs.

Well deserved too! The chutzpah of trying to peddle the AI equivalent to knives which refuse to cut flesh because it might be human flesh... astounding, and utterly disrespectful to their customers. Claude's guardrailing was so bad during OpenAI's HF attack that HF had to go to Beijing!!

I'm hoping Anthropic and OpenAI drop like stones on IPO. Never thought that liberation in this space would come from the Chinese!

TOTPs are infinitely more preferrable to me than passkeys or any other kind of 2FA.

As a GrapheneOS enjoyer I was just hit by my financial institution with a requirement for age attestation/verification to use the app, due to state law.

I'm not installing Google Play, so there goes that!

That is a surreal view of them. ;^)

'Imaginary' is a misnomer, they should actually be called Orthogonal Numbers instead since they lie on orthogonal axes.

Nice! Thank you for this public service. Phone makers & carriers should be ashamed of themselves for hiding such important configuration behind proprietary formats. If you [lurker] are a decision maker who decided to make our world this way: for shame, for shaaame!

LHC is a pea shooter compared to the absolute ion cannons that are cosmic rays hitting the upper atmosphere, which are pea shooters compared to acretion disk collisions or particle collisions about a magnetar. Sorry to ruin the fun! :^)

IMO there is no 'beauty' in disc menus. When I want to play a movie on disc, I want the title to start immediately after closing the tray. No interruptions, no preview advertisements, and no menus. I guess "the most beautiful menu" to me is the one which isn't there.

Just don't subscribe. Do not subscribe to cloud, do not subscribe to AI, do not subscribe to remote computing/gaming. Starve the datacenter hogs eating up your personal computing to resell it back to you on subscription.

Buy older computers, install GNU/Linux, just whatever you do #NeverSubscribe!
