You don’t have to be logged in because you’ve got a digital fingerprint.
I would hazard a guess that they’re using google analytics to collect this data, and google is creepy and knows everything. Maybe they got you to tell them your age at some point, or they can use the vast amount of other data they have to estimate it with probably-super-creepy accuracy.
Oh neat, I’ll have to look into this.
I wish I could run Linux on my phone.
I’m pretty sure they can filter out the bot traffic. Like, if they know how old you are, they probably know if you’re a bot.
The tone of the whole “oops I tried to kill you” response is inappropriately unserious…like “not the witchy potion we want”? If a person was trying to be cute and stuff after making such a serious error, I think we would all be justifiably very annoyed.
I bet the library has lots of those too!
I like clipboard. It sounds snappy and implies simple-mindedness.
YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED INTO THE LLM
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
Duolingo declared it was going as AI as possible earlier this month and now it’s feeling the backlash.
Well I hope so. I deleted it after reading about that. It had been enshitifying for a while anyway.
I’ve replaced it with Mango languages, which has been teaching me sentences I can actually see myself using, and I can get their premium lessons for free through my library.
You gotta finish em, Brucie!
not run by a dictator
The catch here is that in the west, we label anyone anti-capitalist a dictator. You can be the very definition of dictatorial, but if you align with western interests, you’re just a “president” or a “leader” or something. But start nationalizing your oil industry and 🚨 dictator! dictator! 🚨
So yeah, within the bounds of the narrative that capitalism is the only way, you’ll find that capitalism is the only way, unsurprisingly. But the fact that this narrative is baked into us from childhood doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s aligned with reality.
Greenland, even though Denmark is blue.
That’s amazing, gotta love strange cats.
Those really look like opposable thumbs.
The working class I guess? Certainly no one with power.
I’m imagining this might come from way back when it was common for buildings to just be walls and a roof, and the ground floor was literally just the ground. Then the second level, if there was one, would be the first time they actually built a floor.
I’ve always been a nerd, always enjoyed cool new technology, but the industry has become so drenched in assholery that this “grimy residue” has become its main feature.
For the good of everyone, except the ones who are dead. 🤪
Yes good point… naturally “guzzling resources at planet eating rates” is quite expensive.
This is the subheading on the article (emphasis added):
So why let drivers off the hook? You seem to care about safety, but then support enforcement that disproportionately affects those who are doing less harm? There’s no logic, it’s just vibes.
Culturally, we accept drivers causing a significant amount of death and destruction, but get so mad about anyone else. It’s not rational.
