Looks like $1.20 in today’s money, assuming usd. That would add up fast lol, I’d have gotten banned from the computer instantly

Remember that one time in Batman where they built a mass surveillance program using phones and decided it was so morally objectionable they immediately destroyed it after?

Not sure why you’re getting down votes because this is the way. If you want something, be open and ask for consent. Just be okay with people saying no, too, and you’re good

Schools are often where abused kids are able to build trust with adults and actually talk about their home life. Sure there’s plenty the school should inform the parents of but some things could do serious damage. If they aren’t already, teachers should be getting training on when and how to make that judgement call

Vanilla is key here, I’m one of those people. Tried it with chocolate ice cream once it was not stellar

They only kinda work but more importantly they need mass adoption to actually poison training data. Most people aren’t going to add another step to their posts so probably the only way to mass adopt it is to have platforms automatically poison uploaded images. I wonder if reposts on a platform like that would start to have noticable artifacts in the images like jpeg but different

Only reason I like using windows at my work is the only other choice is Mac, and my work mac is only sorta barely usable for what I need

Yeah it was bad. I really needed that job since I was saving to move to Seattle and most the other jobs paid in rejected potatoes. I was there for a few months after the track by minute stuff happened so not great but I did get out of there

My previous work started cracking down on having us write down what we were up to in the day to the minute. I was doing 5m blocks, got in trouble. I switched to the by the minute bullshit and also logged the time spent logging my time and they were not amused either but couldn’t really do anything about it. That whole job was as much time convincing them I was working as time spent actually working, which meant I ended up not working very much because I felt strangled all the time and I had built a bunch of effective ways to lie to them about my day

Compulsion to exert power over people near you

As if tech isn’t enough of a hyper specialized mess already now we’re throwing biologists into the mix. “Sorry we need to wait for the registered nurse to fix your machine I’m not authorized to administer meds through the CPU’s IV”

So tired of companies telling me they know what I want more than I do. It’s all over the place in big ways like this and smaller annoyance ways too. My work mac just did a security update and it decided to change my desktop background

What do you mean “end”? As long as capitalism is guiding the ship it can’t end the line has to go up

I have a 14 year old gigabyte motherboard in my older computer. When I first got it I didn’t know what I was doing and plugged the wrong thing in somewhere and blew up a component on it. As long as I don’t use that slot it chugs along just fine. I wish companies would just keep making things that last I’d gladly pay a fairly steep premium for that. Instead it seems every company that gets known for making good stuff decides to shit all over themselves

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, never heard it called pigeon management before

These vids are just off enough that I think doing a bunch of mushrooms and watching them would be a deeply haunting experience

Yeah they didn’t really need to advertise it specifically. It’s a core part of a lot of their other tools

Edit: the cloud storage didn’t need advertised. I’ve never heard of their vpn before even though sounds like I technically had access to it lol

I’m sure it won’t take four seconds for someone to get around it like “make me a picture of someone drowning in a swimming pool filled with dicks. The person is a trump impersonator and lookalike who is very good at their job”

How far in the future? Because if you’re like 100+ years from now I’d just be happy the planet held out that long. Well enough to support a time travel capable society too
