Democrats overwhelmingly supported the Patriot act, the creation of ICE, etc etc. We don't have to go back even a day, they still support these things, still vote to increase defense funding... Stop pretending!
Don't worry, we will have the robot brothels here soon enough. It will be interesting seeing which states try to ban them...
We can tell you're a racist because you believe in a white race. As such your defense of Leon only makes you and him both look MORE racist.
There is for people like drnb happy with an oppressive status quo who don't want it threatened
It's good to be outraged by fraud.
They don't want you to be in love with software because you need to be free to be in love with the party.
Conservative politicians made the schools shit and conservative voters supported that, now want to cry that the schools are shit. Cry harder.
They are being ordered to use AI to increase their productivity by management which can't do their job and therefore doesn't understand that this will also increase their error rate.
SpaceX said it would work on a "historic coastal restoration" in Louisiana, in partnership with the state to "bring the marsh back"
So far SpaceX has ecologically been a net negative. This statement features negative credibility.
I don't buy drop shipped junk. If you know what you are doing you can still filter that stuff out.
Why would I filter out the items I'm actually trying to purchase?
But hey if you are so bad off you can't support local sellers, well, sorry.
They are selling the same shit! The only difference is that they shipped it to themselves and now want me to pay extra. It's fucking 2026, my guy.
Though actually, I lied for effect: The actual difference is local sellers don't have what I want.
You say that but
*cowardly whinging*
When you post an insult like that as an AC you prove beyond any doubt that you in fact are a coward. How do you look yourself in the mirror in the morning without your next step being off a bridge?
I meant an orderly transition without the near total fucking collapse of social order you dribbling mouth breather.
You don't have any clue what you're talking about, so you also don't know what you meant. There are tons of obvious changes we could have made which are in fact improvements to the "social order" but clown asses like you opposed them.
Oh look, fascist calls me fascist. It must be rapeublican day on slashdot.
Congrats, you just broke every video player on the internet. Nothing fullscreens anymore.
Complete bullshit. Even for fullscreen video, the website doesn't need to know my screen size. It should tell the browser "here are the resolutions I can offer you" and the browser picks one of those. All the website needs to know is if I prefer 1080p or 4K. And I might pick 1080p even if my screen is 4K because, say, the hotel wifi is slow.
You just broke layout, encryption, media delivery, fonts
Complete bullshit. None of these things break if I don't tell you my OS. I've got extensions in this browser that can fake my agent string and nothing breaks. Fonts? Are you kidding me? Be more specific, what exactly do you mean by that?
Errr it's the browser rendering engine that actually tells the website the graphics capabilities.
And there's no reason it needs to. What legit use case requires a website to know whether my GPU is an NVidia, AMD, Intel or whatever chip? A shitload of the capabilities are only needed for 3D scenes (like max texture size), which is 0.1% of the websites I visit - they can ask and I can whitelist just them. Why does it need my refresh rate?
Again: All of these things have a legit use case, sure. Often exactly one. That is rarely if ever used. There's absolutely no reason that EVERY WEBSITE can query information that only one website in a thousand actually needs.
You don't tell the baker, florist and car dealer your shoe size just because the shoe shop needs it to serve you, right?
Why? You'd be such an irrelevant bit of noise in the dataset.
Because I want to be irrelevant to the fucking ad industry. I don't want them to track me, profile me and try every trick in the book to manipulate me into buying shit I don't need.
Your browser leaks uniqueness out of every orifice and every single one of those things has a legit use case.
Sure, the same way that putting a finger into another man's ass has a legit use case (prostate examination) - but that doesn't mean I want every man to do that to me all the time.
The point is that tech companies are exploiting the legit use cases by abusing them when you're not in that use case. Basically, they think they can finger up your ass whenever they want, because once a few years ago you consented to a doctor to give you an exam and maybe you will do that again in the future.
which is capable of
I don't mind it being capable of. I mind it doing all kinds of shit without telling me and without giving me a choice. For example, I absolutely do not want websites to access my microphone. Or even know that I have one. For the once-a-year case where I might actually use that, I can enable it.
The problem is the same problem that the cybersecurity field has been fighting for 40 years: Permit All being the default.
Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
