It’s still better for people overall if the parasites take larger sums from fewer willing idiots compared to them taking less each from more people, even if their bottom line is unaffected.

Because people are idiots and value convenience over every other factor when voting with their wallets.

Specifically what evidence released by the investigation do you feel characterizes the alleged killer as left-leaning? I have not seen any such evidence.

You should get it for free elsewhere. Don’t give this asshole your money.

This is a deflecrion, not an answer. He’s also allowed to say she refuses to wear a T-rex cosrume in bed, but if it’s irrelevant why say it?

You’re complainong that tooany people of the “wrong” kind are represented in media and I’m the one who lacks tolerance? Man, I thought maybe you were just ignorant but it turns out you’re actually mentally handicapped.

In that case I’ve already explained why you’re wrong.
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 1 month ago:
You sweet summer child. That market is less than 0.1% of the total smartphone market and its continued existence is against the wishes of the oligopoly. Where there’s money, there is a way, but the money is working against us.

This is only relevant as long as someone is selling hardware with an unlockable bootloader. The scenario where that isn’t the case in a few years is unfortunately realistic.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 1 month ago:
You’re thinking about “documentaries”. There’s this whole other uniberse of films commonly referred to as “fiction”. Or are you upset that Hobbits are overrepresented in The Lord of the Rings, blue aliens in Avatar and people who can fly in Superman, too?
- Comment on Why do narcissists have such fragile egos? 1 month ago:
The reason is simple: all the main symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder involve behavior which is harmful to others.
In this, it is different from most forms of neurodivergence. Like psychopathy, it is a kind of antisocial personality disorder, in the sense that people who have it are harmful to society. Autism, ADHD, bipolar, BPD and even schizophrenia do not necessarily cause the sufferer to become harmful to others - in fact, the person afflicted with these conditions often harms themselves on an attempt not to inconvenience others, and only harms others unintentionally, while the narcissist does so intentionally and deliberately. People don’t demonize narcissists. Narcissism demonizes narcissists, and people recognize that.

Don’t be a jive turkey fool, lad. Just be groovy about it and don’t mellow the poor fellow’s swing.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 1 month ago:
Let me repeat myself: there is jo such thing as “overrepresentarion”. There isn’t, and shouldn’t be, a law that states that TV and movie producers have to follow census data strictly in their casting. That would be stupid.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 1 month ago:
No such thing.
- Comment on Have you know???. 1 month ago:
Very recently. And even if I never had, that’s an old argument. The human brain is capable of doing so, even if some given human never does. AI is incapable of doing so by design.
Let me explain this in a way you Americans can understand: The human brain is a gun. Even if most people just use it to pistol-whip others, it can shoot bullets. AI is a greasy cheeseburger. It will never shoot a bullet, and it’s also bad at pistol-whipping.

Remixing isn’t innovation.

Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with people being gay as long as they do it in secret and “normal” people don’t have to acknowledge it. /s
- Comment on Have you know???. 1 month ago:
Actually imagining. The fact that we have created previously unheard of tools such as the hammer, the wrench, the automobile and the profylactic condom is ample evidence that we can actually innovate, somethibg that artificial “intelligence” is ibcapable 9f doing by its very design.
- Comment on The AI-Powered PDF Marks the End of an Era 1 month ago:
You are completely correct. And these are all reasons why the more heavily a company relies on AI for critical applications, the more likely it will be to go bankrupt. This is inherently a self-fixing problem.
- Comment on The AI-Powered PDF Marks the End of an Era 1 month ago:
I firmly disagree. Once this bubble bursts, AI “features” will swiftly be removed from any software suite with a plan of remaining relevant. Everyone in the know has been painfully aware from the start that AI is a worthless technology. It’s only a matter of either the common man catching on or the industry pushing it so hard that it breaks the existing infrastructure. We’re moving firmly towards the second scenario.

- Comment on Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker? 3 months ago:
Plus, if you had two-day battery life, when the battery inevitably degrades, you’ll still have solid battery life.
But the companies want you to buy a new phone when the battery degrades.

Except in 99.9% of cases nothing gets fixed after deployment either. That’s just an excuse not to admit that from the get-go.
- Comment on With all the animals that die in the sea, is it possible they get pickled in there? 3 months ago:
The sea is not “a salt brine in itself”. You need a much higher salt concentration to pickle anything than what you find at any point in the ocean. Enough to prevent microbial life forms from surviving and consuming whatever it is you’re trying to pickle, which is why it doesn’t rot while pickling.
