Absolutely agree. Show me high-definition / high-resolution photos. It's 2023, for crying out loud, why is it so difficult to take a clear picture of these objects?

I find little value in Reddit and view the site as the largest practical experiment of The British Museum Algorithm (BMA).

They know how to type, the problem is their utter lack of critical thinking skills and the ability to debate the issues in an intelligent and thoughtful manner.

Apple and Facebook are for-profit corporations. This feels like trench warfare fueled by publicity. Plain and simple.

It's almost a postulate these days... "software improvements lag behind hardware improvements."

I walked (figuratively) away from Reddit months ago. Unless a Google search result comes up with a direct hit to my query I liken Reddit as the practical application of The Infinite Monkey Theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem). Imagine all those keystrokes unleashed on any particular Reddit topic...

Here is Lame Duck President Donald J. Trump's Endgame: President-Elect Joseph Biden is awaiting GSA certification of the election result, but GSA has not certified the election due to possible re-counts and legal challenges. Meanwhile, Donald is facing legal problems upon exit: (a) [Criminal] Trump Organization - bank, insurance, tax fraud; (b) [Criminal] Obstruction of Justice; (c) [Criminal] Campaign Finance violations; (d) [Civil] Defamation, 2 cases; (e) Civil Tax Liability; (f) [Civil] Estate Fraud. Small wonder, then, that Donald is dragging his feet on making a concession speech. Also notable is Russia and China's withholding of congratulations to President-Elect Biden in light of the current status.

Works for me. Check it out, if it comes through my Win10 audio system I can capture it, and I have the right to do this: https://www.reneelab.com/audio...

Twitter and Facebook, as a reminder, can pull the plug for 24 hours if they wish, as an example. There are no laws preventing them from doing this or other actions. They also are not a federal, state or local institution. Just because they are "Social Media" that politicians are relying on, that reason is not sufficient. Naturally they will not do such radical things, they are trying to *make money* while at the same time struggling to balance their social responsibilities and not be an accessory to crime nor corruption.

Hi All, I've got some news for you: Donald J. Trump is a fallible, imperfect President, in direct line with other "imperfect" Presidents. Twitter has been one of many of POTUS' platforms to deliver his message. Twitter has justified its existence more than ever before by allowing POTUS to post anything without us lower-level subscribers being able to post likewise--hey, Twitter isn't a public access mechanism, It's about revenue. Twitter calls all the shots. If Twitter accedes to POTUS' rants, it's a crass acknowledgement that money, not issues nor even COVID-19, matters.

I can appreciate the fact that in some limited problem domains bug-assisted tools will be useful. AI gets hyped way too much in-general, as it always has historically. Until I can articulate to a machine "I want {this}" and it generates bug-free C code... well...

Keep bringing the new functionality, someday VIM will overtake Emacs and win the ancient argument once and for all!

From the article: "In their latest paper, which has not been formally peer reviewed, ..." I believe in light of their "flip-flopping" conclusions that people should wait until the peer review process is completed.

Talk about a sense of entitlement... people discover autoplay and rely on it. *cough*game programmers*cough* My preference is to have ALL dynamic browser objects disabled by default. Allow users to enable it. I'm with Tim Berners-Lee in the belief that "The Web" is fundamentally broken and this is just another example of it.

The expectation of privacy is invalid. Assume that everyone is "compromised" on FB. Live with facts. Live as though your privacy is no more. I learned this a long time ago when I got my Amateur Radio License KJ7L. I'm world-searchable via the FCC.gov website for just being a Ham Radio guy. Thus, how should I expect my privacy to be anything but a smoke screen?
