Do you realize you had an intrusive thought, wrote it down and started railing against something that nobody said? This is literally Trump Derangement Syndrome. Please, see a therapist. CBT does wonders for people in your situation. Don't suffer needlessly. It doesn't have to be like this.

They're not in the home gym business. They're in the data harvesting and selling business.

Your data is worth more than the profit margin on their exercise equipment.

This is the world now, and you cheered it on all the way.

Even Google won't allow you to watch random Youtube videos any more without "sign in to prove you're not a robot". Google, the original evil privacy rapist.

We got a solid ten years out of them before they went evil, I guess that's pretty good. LLMs are where Google used to be in the year 2000, an improvement on search engines that blow the existing products away. Remember how awful search engines used to be? Then Google delivered actual good results. Then they took away the + and - operators and started censoring politically inconvenient content by removing it or demoting it to page 137 of results.

no, cheaper goods and services is actually a benefit to us too. maybe not to your ego, but to us people who have other stuff to spend our money on besides national pride, cheaper goods are better. (especially if the quality of the product is not why you are paying more.)

I wouldn't pay a dime extra for 'made in the usa' stuff. not today, and not even before trump came into office. there's nothing patriotic about paying more for goods. (and if there is, I guess I'm not patriotic)

At last someone is willing to tell off the little people to their faces. It's heartening to see even in this day and age of open nullification of federal power in California and others that someone supports the US government. You tell those deplorables how it is! Speak truth to the powerless!

Ambient radiation, environmental pollution, random mutations, other carcinogenic mutagens... There can be like a bazillion reasons for getting cancer. Smoking is one we know about, and we know how it works pretty well. But like most cancers there's a big roll of the dice involved on top of literally countless other factors. This is not surprising even in the least.

The curriculum no longer teaches these dead white European men. In their place are Ibram X. Kendi and Gloria Steinem. Kids want to study scholars who look like them. Not pale, male and stale. "Sorry submitted by alternative_right. Oh , I see. Slashdot made the jump to full national socialist. Jew rape gangs, am I right? And Israel is racist apartheid state. Anything else to add,natzees? I thought your only book of philosophy besides the Bible was My Struggle by that failed Australian painter.

This is 100% pure "AmeriKKka First" Trumpism. Donald trump is Hitler. Congratulations, you're a horrible person.

Someone can just randomly remotely take control of your cameras at your house? no thanks. I don't care why you say you need to be able to do it. hands off.

Negative. The bird issue was from environmentalists.

Now tell us your conspiracy theory about how the fossil fuel industry secretly funds them. And then your other theory about how Jews ran a child rape operation against Americans for the benefit of Israel. Do you have a newsletter we can subscribe to? Someone with important ideas like your must not be silenced!

What happened to the drinkypoo account? It was always solidly left and on the side of the little guy. Here it is cheering for the boot if oppression. You don't expect this bootlicking behavior by leftists until COVID.

Who decided that? You? You just casually decided to genocide our cultures and mash us all together without asking us first? That is the soul of globalism. WE DO NOT CONSENT!

I have a hard time believing that a particular encryption will remain unbreakable, quantum computers or not. At the moment, we have Shor's algorithm for factoring numbers on QCs, so we should avoid relying on the hardness of factorization. How can we be sure that there won't be new algorithms in the future that break the current "post-quantum" encryption?

During my advanced math studies, I only took a rather introductory course on encryption, including stuff like Galois fields and elliptic curves. I recall my professor saying that none of the current encryption methods (besides something like the one-time pad) are proven to be safe; we just don't know any efficient methods of breaking them at the moment.

The rsilvergun account stirring up xenophobia and anti-immigrant hate on behalf of the wealthy techbro class in America.

I never thought I'd see the day.

The Opera team was all fired or laid off or something in this big drama. So the old Opera is now called Vivaldi. . It's just a skin of Chrome, like everything is these days. Eh, I use it. It's better than the others.
