A "Disable all AI crap and stop pushing this shit already" switch would be more desirable.

Higher quality slop and approaching pink slip.

of a slightly shittier country.

I have never heard of Vine, but it sounds like Tiktok in much much worse. And since it comes from Dorsey, it's safe to assume it's gonna be shit.

People want helpful AI that doesn't hallucinate, code crap code, tell you to eat glue or commit suicide.

We don't want to be associated with a fascist regime when the wind changes.

I trust Windows Server 2003 more than I trust Windows 11. It's less stable, but Microsoft isn't in control of your machine.

That skill proved useful in his later career.

The man bought a vacuum cleaner that required an internet connection, and that didn't make him suspicious?

Not so clever I reckon...

The pigs using ubiquitous street camera surveillance to accuse the woman, or the woman using ubiquitous in-vehicle camera surveillance to prove her innocence.

No part of this story makes me warm or fuzzy.

and the ubiquitous surveillance of large swathes of the internet as well. Woohoo!

Note to self: stick to Debian and don't touch Ubuntu or Mint for a few versions until the kinks have been worked out.

Shut down all sensors that have nothing to do with navigation, that Google uses to put people under surveillance, stop the data collection and stop sending data to the mothership all the damn time. I guarantee you power usage will go down significantly.

How do I know that? because my Fairphone 4 running CalyxOS gets a few more hours of battery life than the same Fairphone 4 running vanilla Android, and my Fairphone 5 running Ubuntu Touch also does better battery-wise than the same phone running Google's surveillance platform.

Poetic justice.

the first hit is free.
