Seems to be a fair few zlibrary mirrors on their reddit. In the wiki one of the links still works. Seems there's tor versions still available too.

I mean what anime sites? I never see them anymore as they all got shut down!

Don't they pretty much come back up instantly under a new domain.

We all know what a raging success blocking pirate sites has been so far.

I personally find the bigger problem with slopware is that it buries the genuinely good software out there. Inevitably whenever someone does produce some software of value people will come along and clone it maybe add features. That used to require effort and a modicum of talent. Now there's 50 people all trying the same thing for everything that could generate a penny of revenue. Users try a few claiming to solve their issue and give up. Sure I got old my craft is useless whatever slopware devs tell themselves but it's genuinely a travesty.

It very much depends on what is classified as advanced there. It's more than capable of throwing together an obvious AI front end. It's reasonably good for adding the right permissions. It still completely falls apart for anything remotely out of the normal click button call api load new page and show data. For example I was mucking around with esp32 and android BLE. Something that is very well documented on all three sides, certainly not an advanced feature yet it took hours of debugging something that I can manually write in under 5 minutes. I will give it credit it did suggest using a feature I hadn't even heard of that got around a problem. However that problem didn't exist when coded by hand. Despite software developers raving over it online I'm still yet to find it that capable outside of a search engine. It's hundreds of times better at UI than I am but that's a looow bar!

Everything will just become a prompt to buy something from a sponsored link. "Therapist in my area" "here's your local options and have you tried 5 gum? It's the best chewing gum ever"

That's my main concern. Especially when searching things so often you're looking for information you don't know about, to learn. It used to be the first link was all people read and more often than not it would be correct through people citing it on other websites. google ad revenue and SEO killed that and people (mostly) started to become more mistrusting and check out more than one link. Now we have pushed the links away and marketed an all knowing god at the top. This all knowing god uses the SEO spam to present its answers. It has no clue if what it's saying is true or false. It's just taking some sources seemingly selected at random and summarising them. It's scary that people accept it as fact. Even a brief time using it it's so frequently incorrect I cannot trust it for anything I don't know about already or would struggle to confirm. To think how much this tech fucks up the environment on top of all this false information. But it tells me I'm smart and insightful so I must protect it at all costs.

That's sometimes wrong but presented just as confidently as right. Don't worry though it'll tell you how smart and insightful you are for calling out its mistake that it totally should have caught.

Nah just means someones a hack on the inside...

They won't close the loopholes that allow them to dodge these taxes as it is. I highly doubt they're going to rewrite the law to take their money now. If it worked like that we probably wouldn't have too many if any billionaires.

O I agree but the problem is we'd have to ask if he'd be ok paying 150b. Not as though we have the power to take it anymore.

I wonder which one the "elites" would choose there. Honestly I wouldn't be remotely surprised if culling was floated as an alternative to UBI lol. To an extent I almost suspect they'd kick off another world war to reduce population that way.

Isn't that a 99% automated process now. Seems unlikely they have enough room for anyone who isn't already there. The limit for their production is machinery not staff. If they do make a new plant the roles are technical they wouldn't employ bob or Jane from HR. UBI isn't a solution not only will the taxes never get paid enough to fund it it'll inevitably bring a huge wave of mental health issues. Lots of people for better or worse don't feel they have value if not for work. So I guess there will be a lot of therapist work going still.

We'll resolve my failure then please. What jobs shall they be doing?
