By all means, celebrate ignorance. I note you skipped over the #1 definition. Typical coward shit. You're afraid of knowledge.

Google stores more data about users' activities than Ring could ever dream of. It's literally the basis of its primary business. Throw some more stones, though.

Your experience is literally irrelevant because it doesn't prove a negative and it doesn't speak to anyone else's experience.

In 2026 the only effect this has on me is where the patents are held.

Problem is we have fundamentally broken the economy for people that work for a living. When you completely break that social order then it doesn't matter and nothing matters.

When literally all of the benefits of the future go straight to the top and stay there and it never trickles down then it just doesn't matter if the work is done in Canada or if the work is done in america. I suppose it sucks when the work hasn't done at all but then again at a certain point it doesn't matter because if you make a new medicine and I'm American and my insurance company won't pay for it or I get laid off because some idiots started a trade War so that he could raise taxes on me at a real War so he could win a midterm election and I maybe get laid off because of the cratering economy well I'm not going to have health care because we cut all the social services to make way for you guessed it tax cuts for trillionaires.

Seeing people especially Centrist types complaining about brain drain really kind of pisses me off. Seen the left wing do it though really pisses me off because it's the kind of line goes up bullshit they should know better than. I don't see anyone on the left anymore talking about getting the benefits of modern automation and society to The working Man except in platitudes that they quickly discard. And I say that as a left winger.

So bottom line why should I care where the research is done? If by some miracle I make enough money that I can access it it makes no difference to me which billionaire is profiting from it whether it's a Canadian billionaire or an American billionaire and if the shit hits the fan for me and I lose all access to healthcare and technology and Christ maybe even a place to live then fuck it let it all burn.

You can't keep abandoning large swaths of the population and expect everything to be honky-dory. I find most people are hoping to die of old age before the shit hits the fan

Fox also broadcasts. It does matter. As you say, Fox Broadcasting! The one thing supported the other. They pretended not to operate as a network in their early years so they wouldn't be subject to requirements of networks, but they were only just under the line. I don't know where this idea that Fox is not a broadcasting network came from except possibly for that, but it absolutely is and was one and that network supported their cable network. The two are effectively one thing, that's why they called them both Fox.

Weird response. He's got it nailed. The inequity of climate change matters and the only reason Americans don't want to hear about it is that we've created both the climate change and the inequity, usually at gunpoint.

You forgot to count the eligible nonvoters. They are also fucking stupid.

lol

"In some instances, we may share your personal information with third parties." further lol I'm sure they are sharing that data just out of a sense of fairness!

You're a trivially deluded tool.

You can pull in frameworks in C just as easily as in any other language. And since now we're using Qt or GTK+ instead of Xaw, Unix apps are bigger. But that's true regardless of language. Plus screen resolution is vastly higher than it used to be. Even phones now commonly have more pixels than even high end workstations used to. Looks like Android devs have been using uncompressed bitmaps out of ignorance, shock amazement.

I've been using them here for years but I hardly ever use them anywhere else. Slashdot may not support a lot of characters people want to use but it does support em and en dashes via HTML entities.

The stereotypical luddite wants all people to benefit from advances in technology.

Before you use a word, look it up.

That's only one of many benefits. I've thought about this a lot because I've bought related stuff under a bunch of these different names. I've wondered if they are auto-generated randomly, or perhaps are something more bizarre such as being transposed in sequence order from Chinese characters.

paul_engr's comment which for me appears right after yours explains why that is nonsense. I would link it but mobile is shit

Whose own? He's not in my family.

Putting in a camera is one thing, connecting it to the Internet is another, having it be cloud-connected is still another thing
