You know, that feeling that all your input must be sent off, thought about, then finally sent back to your own computer for display. Personal computing was to remove that lag. And to not be unable to use your own computer when offline.

Hmm, maybe they listened and will try to remove that Slop... Nah.

Such a law would make anything paid for by advertising to also be legally required to have an option of me paying outright cash for use of the service in return for seeing no advertisements, ever, during my subscription period.

Web sites, streaming, podcasts, social crap, software, github, sports, etc. etc. all would have the legal requirement of offering a paid 'fuck advertising' tier.

Your legal department better have some damn good teeth. And not charge a single cent to help defend your customers' code from misappropriated uses. Even for billy's new version of an open source 'Hello Planet.' If you offer no protections except to collect money and take your cut then you are of no use to the open source community, just another self-inserted middleman like a car dealer, doordash, etc.

If asked, no one wants to actually see advertisements. The problem is that when they see them where no advertisement belongs, they don't do anything about it. It's easier to sit and stare than it is to return the product as defective or not as advertised (pun intended).

Now people complain when it isn't here tomorrow. I would be fine with a weekly delivery. So would the planet.

The problem is that when everything looks like trash, where do you start? They aren't going to be scanning all of our trash* with an electron microscope.

*sorry, I meant 'historical artifacts'.

Instead of smokers simply annoying people when they do this in public, now they get to waste more electronics that wind up in a landfill - by design!

Is anyone else tired of this disposable society yet? Now instead of a cigarette butt we find used vape cartridges, used lithium ion cells, and now it includes a larger circuit board to support blue tooth! On top of that the battery could start a fire even when it is put in the trash and not on the ground.

Vapes need the equivalent to a core charge when buying a new one with a battery, that core charge should be equal to the cost of the new unit, so double the price unless you are trading in the old one.

I think there may be existing laws for this - try to enforce them or something.

Look up the divorce rates some time, it seems pretty high even though according to AI, the rate is declining.

That is what current AI is. Take out emotions or caring and this is what you get, internet trolls in the form of an 'AI'.

What could go wrong?

Such things as AI porn is known to be a subject that the credit card companies like to blacklist. But using those same cards to buy a gun is all fine and dandy.

Just like in Stargate, Vala never needed to practice that question. Same thing here.

Yay another player that likes to take their ball and go home, don't let the door...

Have you seen the internet? That poor frog has long been burnt to a crisp by trolls, activists pushing agendas, political rot, criminals, and finally AI spamming what is left with a blow torch.

It has to do with the refining and production process. Sure all copper is pure, but the reality is that extraction and production into a usable object without introducing unwanted contaminants or trapping air within the produced object is not a simple task. Some contamination is not even a problem for most uses of copper, but not here.

- use brain?
