Comment Holding up a mirror to human texts and literature (Score 1) 174

Quite interesting to see AI essentially holding up a mirror to the majority of human texts and literature: hollow, sycophantic BS that people just liked to read sometimes and now AI has all of this as the condensed foundation for philosophic babbling. No wonder people freak out when confronted with dense portions of all this garbage.

Remember, it is not AI, it is just sophisticated stealing of other peoples content.

Comment Malware on your grandma phone (Score 2) 40

This will be an absolute nightmare. If you thought people are careless and not savvy with their computers, the phone crowd is so infinitely much worse because phones are way more ubiquitous.
This will be the golden age of malware. I am not advocating for an Apple walled garden, but I do think from a pragmatic, realistic standpoint they had the right solution - lock it down; the average user cannot be trusted with their device.
And a warning banner is no solution, bad actors will just guide your grandma right through it.

Comment We need leaner, better websites (Score 3, Insightful) 40

There, I said it. We need way better and leaner websites without the unbelievable amounts of jank and bloat that has somehow become the sad normal nowadays.
I feel like I went from a slow aDSL in the 90s to gigabit and websites nowadays do not load any faster, because they bloated to the size of fully functional operating systems - and this will only get worse with more frameworks, wizards and vibecoding.

Comment Separate registrations and payment (Score 3, Insightful) 229

Before you fall over yourself to applaud these zones, you need to realize they have separate registration for such zones. For each one individually. For example letâ(TM)s take Belgium, you need to separately register for Brussels, Ghent and Antwerp. These are European cities of EU countries. A simple modern EU plate should be more than enough to indicate the emission levels. But they want to make extra money from tourists and poor people, and make life more fabulous for wealthy people. Fsck everything about these zones and especially how they are implemented. I am not even sure how this can be legal on a EU level.

Comment Has anyone ever used this? (Score 2) 62

I already found pinterest completely insufferable and they were the first to massively push for hostile content where you were forced to sign up to see a funny picture.

And then came pocket from Firefox. Anyone actually used this? And what for?

Comment Housing should have never become an investment for (Score 3, Insightful) 64

Housing should have never become an investment for hedge funds and other blood money, and greedy pseudo-investors making others pay for their pseudo-investments thru sites like airbnb. You are just running an illegal hotel and making life so much worse for the locals. Especially talking to the US Americans and especially the NYC and CA crowd, the vastly most over-privileged and overly entitled people on this planet.

Using airbnb has become pretty much insufferable as a customer any way.

Comment All the experts in here! (Score 2) 178

I am sure Denmark wishes it could have as many amazing experts as the ones commenting here! Because surely Denmark made this decision on a whim and without involving anyone who knows anything.

Never forget: if it flies in the face of your preferred narrative, it clearly must be corruption and stupidity!
A nation like Denmark surely cannot be capable of making macro decisions! Not like you, the all knowing comment experts!

Comment All of you wanted this to happen (Score 3, Insightful) 283

Is this not the end goal of every pseudo-improvement of the last 1-2 decades of a culture war that was exclusively led by the self-titled progressive woke? They wanted to dismantle the âpatriarchyâ(TM) by systematically giving unfair advantages to everyone else, so congratulations, it worked, you destroyed the helpless and the defenseless boys! Your BS was not ever tackling real issues and will never affect the actual wealthy and really powerful, but you WANTED to tear men down - and you did it!! And now we got proof.

You systematically took away every role model and never gave them any new ones to look up to, so in confusion and desperation they ran to psychos like Tate who filled that void. You left them helpless and hopeless AND told them they all somehow âdeserve itâ(TM) for being by-birth toxic males.

Who knew, if you treat people differently and blindly follow a toxic, destructive narrative that âtemporary injustice is okâ(TM) as long as serves the one true âgood end goalâ(TM), then there will be consequences and it will not make things better for society as a whole.

In case you were wondering, your elections are a reflection of every insanity and injustice you people have been oh so cheering for: People rather elected the lunatic than another one of your savior-complex progressives.

And if history is an indication, when so many young boys are without perspective and hope, bad bad BAD things usually follow.

You wanted this. Now you are getting the consequences.
