Does anyone remember when making your system compatible was the thing to do?!

Now, that dreadful disease that's worse than any CoViD or bubonic plague has taken hold of the human race:
Greed and maliciousness disguised as unrestricted capitalism.
Add to this AI, which will have you thinking that you no longer know what is best for you; AI will know!

(We control the horizontal. We control the vertical. For the next 60...)


I digress from here.

I don't want my computer to be an ad platform; or anything other than what ... I ... configure it to be.
I don't want my phone to think it knows what I want, either.
And all that "default" shit needs to stop.
The DEFAULT should be that everything should have the "opt-in" option, and be default to OFF - unless I change it.

Meanwhile - HEY! YOU! Get off of my cloud!

Correct me here if I deviate from facts.

SF has unreasonably high cost of living; bankrupting countless innocents, that now are doing all they can to survive.
Which includes finding ANY WiFi that they can use to TRY to pull themselves out of LIVING HELL, perhaps to find a job or suce...

Yet, drug dealers use it, too?!

What if SF were to truly work on fixing the ridiculous high cost of living there and stop creating unethical situations?

WTF is wrong with this society?!?!?!

'nough said.

Programmers: get your asses up and THINKING, or LOSE IT!

Lazy bastards!

Imagine what a monkey could do with a machine gun!

Now imagine the human race as the monkey, and all of this unregulated technology (AI, AH (Artificial Humans)...) as the gun.

Raises lots of questions, wouldn't you say?!

Ever hear of the book "Future shock"?

How about we allow ourselves time to catch up?!

When will I be asked about this?!?!?!

Face it: Trump has been getting duped by fake AI for a long time.
Both he and a significant US population have been severely conned.

How do we get the truth now?
When will our legislators see the urgency of the need to get actual truth unquestionably distributed?

Why is the US government so fucking idiotic and ignorant of beneficial things?!

It's corporations' greed.
THIS is the reason that corporations need hard regulation to best serve the WHOLE of society.
Most, not all, corporate officers tend to put money ahead of all else.

I suppose that there would be a mechanism that periodically requires the user to respond to avoid locking the big screen out.

While ads are a good way to discover potentially valuable items/services, the deeply insulting nature of the vast majority of ads makes me cringe.
Thus, I have developed a way to circumvent most ads, and tune out the rest.

The point: advertisers need to get moderate with their ads. None of the ADHD styles crap,
and none of the irrelevant references, like a car ad that hopes you think you'll acquire more sex appeal, etc...

Until all ads become harmless, I'll ignore EVERY single one.

Sounds a bit like anti-trust behavior to me.

When I buy a car, I am free to replace tires with what I want.
And, I can use any fuel that I want - regardless of RECOMMENDATIONS.
When I buy a notebook, I can write in it with any pen/pencil/scribe that I choose.
...etc, ...

Point is: When I BUY something, it becomes MINE; to with as > I
Th "risks" line of crap is bullshit meant to con you into pay for their overpriced ink.
Because the printer market is so tightly competitive, ink is the money maker in this niche.

Yet, this is not new news.

If a company can produce equal - or better - ink at a more favorable price, it should be fully available. This is called CAPITALISM - free market.
It's not a free market if you are forcing the purchase of your product. Where are our legislators/regulators when you need them?!

'nough said. ForEx (currency) mkt is FAR larger.

It's what kickbacks buy. That, and favors to your pre-owned legislator!

Over a million Earths can fit inside the Sun.
This sphere would need to be significantly larger.
How many (panels) do you think would get installed before the first (panel) needs servicing?

I want the brain cells - that I wasted on this idea - back!

I can relate to the modern drives seeming to have higher failure rates.

Would that be ... an international incident, or a inter-planetary incident?!

Makes me wonder HOW they tested the drivers before they released them.
