Airline ticketing information got shared?

Perhaps I’d be more outraged, if not for the emails, text message receipts, digital confirmations, ticketing apps, credit card auditing, banking auditing, FAA auditing, TSA auditing, and the rest of the 100% digital reservation and traveling process being one massive unending paper trail, in a society that practically begs for every bit of that privacy-raping “convenience”. As if anyone could fly in the US today and keep it some kind of secret.

Let’s be realistic about this. If you expect privacy and high speed travel, you better own the plane and the island it’s landing on, pilot.

The entire modern planet, allows social media to use them. If you don’t believe social media is spyware, then you still don’t know what The Product being sold is.

Orwell should have written a recipe book on how to boil frogs. He clearly didn’t leave behind enough hints.

Uh, if there are already exemptions for the “performing arts”, what exactly are we pretending influencers/digital content creators are again?

The guy playing a doctor on the soap opera, is not “in” the medial business. He’s fucking performing. Same goes for the idiots on stream. Let’s stop pretending they’re not pretending already. No one claims the 15-year old kicking ass in CoD is some kind of bad-ass special forces operator IRL. Stop pretending “influencers’ aren’t sponsored actors. They sure as hell are.

It would make more sense to get rid of the performing arts exemption then to pretend certain jobs suddenly aren’t.

Nothing matters until South Africa divests itself of the reason it’s still a Third World in the twenty-first century.

So, Jaguar..you’re shutting down for a while longer because of a “cyberattack” you say?

97% sales drop. Jaguar will remain the steaming example of what not to do. I doubt the brand will survive the year. Wouldn’t be surprised if we find a cyberattack cover story in the end to try and dismiss the worst re-branding failure in automotive history.

Whew. For a minute there I thought we humans might actually be more concerned about measuring the longest a human has survived with a pig organ.

Good thing we know that pig organs can survive. Now we can make bacon live forever. Or until we get hungry.

Your take might have more legs, if not for the fact that Gen Z is quite an active user and beneficiary of that very same shareholder economy.

Whether it’s through alternative investments like crypto (including creating my-coin investment opportunities), ownership in fractions of single shares of stock, or participating more directly in the market, they represent quite the invested generation that knows how the rich get richer. Gen Z can’t afford real estate, and buying bonds and CDs is a bit outdated with today’s returns, so it’s not surprising to find them investing in markets a lot younger than previous generations.

We need it, but for far more bullshit reasons. Like mining fucking crypto and AI.

Japan was getting over 30% of their power from nuclear.

Then Fukushima happened, and usage dropped to 5%.

If they can drop usage like that within just a few years, perhaps their energy needs are still flexible enough to entertain other power sources. Their citizens merely stopped trusting nuclear.

Lets see how the social media junkie smartphone zombie parents work the appeals process over for a month or six before you go assuming. That smartphone policy might just find itself chained to the bottom drawer of a file cabinet locked in a basement closet with a sign on the door that says “Beware of Karens”.

The education they’re clearly not getting, should be teaching them how to actually think.

You know, like think about the consequences of normalizing lying and deceiving to support a scam to get around smartphone rules put in place for valid reason in a teaching environment. Also known as the kind of thing real parents should also be teaching.

If we wonder how we got to a world where nothing and no one can be trusted, perhaps we look closer at our own shitty advice. There are far better ways to teach critical thinking.

LOL, so do I. Thank you for confirming exactly why stand-up vacuum sales will remain as strong as future Rosie sales. If Roomba was the answer, it would have proved it by now. They suck harder than Mega Maid.

They exist. For now. In less than half a dozen cities that apparently want to deal with the manslaughtering setbacks. I wonder if insurance rates in those cities have adjusted for the increased risk of legal autonomous drivers. (Insurance always tells on itself.)

Needless to say the moron building cars with insanely expensive and unproven humanoid robots instead of proven certified industrial solutions, deserves their bankruptcy.

98% of all email is spam. You wouldn’t be able to even call it a tool today without massive filters, which barely work.

We haven’t fought a fucking thing in the environment that is the internet and won. It was the Wild West when it started, and now it’s just a survellience state. With zero real jurisdiction. You aren’t winning anything. You’re finding ways to survive. Barely.

AI would impersonate your loved one and convince you they’re in grave danger, just to pull off the same Nigerian Prince scam viewed as lame today. The difference is AI will be a hell of a lot more successful. Best start grasping that fact now to set up your survival defenses. And you thought duress words were only for secret military operations..

In the era of third-party digital publishers, what exactly is an editor and how fast are they expected to edit? And to whose standards?

Editing, implies a cutting room floor exists somewhere that isn’t spotless due to dogshit “censorship” excuses that make everything fit to print.

I might expect your response from Pottery Pros Quarterly, but your complaints fall on Vulcan ears at WIRED. Go figure.
