Your personal wealth is less than 0.0009% of the entire worlds wealth. Your wealth suddenly skyrockets to 6% of the entire worlds wealth. Oh wait, it didn't skyrocket... it lazily flopped to 6% of the world's wealth?

I am curious how they identify kids that are using VPNs to non-hostile countries to then do what they want on the Internet. Are they blocking all VPNs? Are they decrypting all traffic leaving Australia? I can't imagine that the law is anything other than the most minor annoyance to minors.

Or are you folks keeping your kids uneducated and ignorant over there like they are in the USA?

There is no tradeoff at all. This process takes Open Source code and turns it into unmaintainable gibberish. This same product also takes Proprietary software and turns it into unmaintainable gibberish.

Nothing was taken from Open Source, but something was taken from Proprietary.

You are further from a usable product if you use this on Open Source.

You are closer to a usable product if you use it on Proprietary software.

I can tell that you really believe what you are saying. *sigh*

Have you ever, even once, voted for someone without an R or D next to their name? I have. Needless to say, it was a "wasted" vote.

So you have two political parties pushing candidates at you. Those candidates are vetted for pushing the parties interests above all else before they can even get their name on the ballot.

Tell me again, in more detail, about the real choices that we have in America.

I can see why you think that.

He won't, but it was intentional. Look at the words out of his own mouth: "Go get your own oil, or buy it from us"

Who exactly did you think made that multi-billion trade on oil futures just before the war started? Bill Cosby?

I apologize that I did not get to them quickly enough. We all know that it is only my own opinion that matters. If people are having differing opinions, it just means that I have gotten my message to them yet. *sigh*

To be fair, there are a LOT of people, and some don't even speak my language. WTF?

Your logic is weak. AI has not shown any real improvements since it was released onto the public. They are dialing in the exact weights and such needed to maintain "accuracy", but there will be no further improvements on the current technology that will lead to future breakthroughs. LLMs are a thing, and MIGHT be part of a future very capable AI; however, LLMs will NEVER be AGI regardless of what is done with them.

No wondering is necessary. AI reliance will absolutely kill off any remaining critical thoughts/thinking you may have. Reality is going to be absolutely and completely miserable for humanity from here on out. Your life will be miserable, but you will be unable to figure out why... just asking yourself over and over, "why are things like this?", but being unable to come up with an answer.

Hey, wait a minute, we are already like that without AI.

NO MORE WOOL!

Considering that Microsoft has been promising this exact same type of improvement since the release of XP Service Pack 3, the words spoken now are worthless platitudes provided to ensure the smoothness of the theft of your money. There is zero reality behind any of their promises.

I don't know why I should care about limited compatibility for a subset of devices with another subset of devices. There's some of everything in my home. I found a tool called LocalSend years ago that allows me to do mildly obnoxious data transfers between arbitrary devices regardless of platform.

That's the point, they want to rent you access to a computer too

If you didn't know mass surveillance was coming since the 1970s, you were not very imaginative and didn't understand human psychology.

Mass surveillance is occurring right now, it will continue to occur, and it will increase. There is no stopping it. Humans want to know about other humans and they want to control and bully other humans. No matter who gets near the surveillance apparatus, they will be corrupted by its power. The One Ring indeed.
