True, "Relatively fine." At least not damaged by the internet and failure of parents to do what they're supposed to do.

It's that fucking "ME, TOO" shit all over again, except now AI is the whipping boy.

If she'd have properly monitored her child AS SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE, the kid would be fine.

If you aren't willing to monitor your child's activities on the internet, you have two options:

1. Turn off your internet and give the kid a phone with no data plan.

2. Surrender the kid to the state.

If you don't want to do the job, DON'T FUCKING BREED.

Monitoring a child's well-being is a PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY, not a govenmental task.

If you aren't willing to invest the time to monitor and control a child's activities, tnen DON'T BREED. It's pretty straightforward.

Don't expect strangers to ensure your child's well-being.

THAT'S YOUR FUCKING JOB. DO IT OR DON'T BREED.

We've had copilot in office for sbout five weeks. The only thing we now trust it for is to create small sample tables for examples.

No one is pleasd with copilot and we think it's an annoying waste of UI real estate.

We're awaiting IT re-installing without copilot.

Yeah, I'm reasonably sure it's all gonna crash long before that. Maybe 100 years, tops. We either start using fusion next year or someone gets room-temp cold fusion working. I don't see another workable energy solution that anyone is pursuing. I don't count solar or wind. Both have too much tech overhead to rely upon and they're not ready to take up the load, anyway. I'd prefer zero fission nuke plants, but would settle for thousands of pebble-bed reactors.

EVs are a must, but again, sooo many issues - Chargers and their inherent slowness being two nails in their coffin. Until there is a fast, replaceable battery system (think Blue Rhino for batteries instead of propane tanks) and some extreme mandatory commonality for charging systems (and tens of thousands more of them), EVs are screwed.

Holy shit, does Mozilla not read anything?

Or is this opposites day and they thought the co-pilot hate meant it was worthwhile?

Yeah, we're not going to be rid of them, either. Civilization relies too heavily on plastics to abandon their use and a planet-scale clean-up isn't possible with our technology.

Good Lord, man!

You're absolutely correct. I do hope that I did not inadvertently trigger the poor chap!

No one put a gun to your head and forced you to choose diet pop. There were others with natural sweeteners.

Incorrect. There's a plastic gasket inside the bottlecap.

Well, sure. But how often has M$ hidden or delayed reporting their guilt until it no longer mattered. When your track record for destroying working installs with an OS update makes you the obvious culprit, you've got to expect some conclusion "hopping." I won't call it a leap or even a jump. I'll wait on further reports, but my money is on MS being st fault.

This will be the next hot mess. I can't wait for the flood of privacy and malware reports

For as old as he is (judging by his User ID #), he's very simpleminded, isn't he?

My friend, you've missed the points, here.

1. It is a parent's duty to see their own children's well-being, not the state's. Parents must monitor their children when using the internet. Don't even bring up mobile internet. Those kids can get by just fine with a non-smart phone and without sms. A data plan us not a requirement to phone home.

Can't manage that? Perhaps having no home internet or ceding parental rights and control of the child to the state would work better.

Zero sympathy. Do your job, or for the love of everything you hold dear, don't fucking breed. Admit you're defective and don't further pollute the gene pool.

2. Getting around an IP geo-block takes less time to accomplish than to explain. Ergo, the whole fucking effort was a wste of time and money. Mississippi can isolate itself, but your kids are smarter than your idiot politcians, and _you_ choose those politicians, so that casts doubt on your reasoning ability and judgement, and all for nothing.

They're still going to find a way around whatever bullshit geo-block is used.

While your desire for your idea of good is very commendable, your idea of implementation is so fucking lazy that I could cry. Why do you think it's the state's job to look after your kids? Hell no, fuck no. Do it yourself or STOP BREEDING!

Idiots. Legislation like that wastes millions in taxpayer dollars.

Vote from the rooftops.
