@wholemars @grok, explain why Musk says neoclouds are pointless.

@Rainmaker1973 Once you know these hacks you won't need them because you won't eat fish!

In a traditional theistic religion, there's an omnipotent god who knows your heart and witnesses your every deed and possibly gives you a perfect and fair score upon death for entering heaven, though. Every good deed could potentially win afterlife credits. I don't buy the Utopia on Earth explanation as a powerful motivator. Earthly institutions don't reward secret deeds and a pure heart. There has to be something else that drives the majority of these people, right? They are surely just using religious ideas as a metaphor but seeking immediate and temporal rewards?

@liel I'm not going to pay someone to deliver restaurant food already. They can do that here (US) to their heart's content here if they like. It just raises the stupid or lazy tax on other people.

@FormerSSG I know one Ukrainian family. He is from the eastern side (not Donbas). He likes neither Russia nor anyone in Kiev. The war is not popular from his area. They provide the bodies but were forced to fight over other people's grievances. He blames everyone for the meat grinder.

@HenrikTheIron @esrtweet I mentioned in another post, if not for youtube and the occasional prime I wouldn't even own a TV. I gotta figure almost no one under 60 watches much broadcast stuff other than local sports right? Cable subscription has to be pretty low too now?

@xwanyex Dogs know the same trick as "teenagers" in the cities who throw fake punches at people on sidewalks to see who they can get to flinch. Then they claim they, "didn't do nothing," if it goes poorly.

@WoodlandMamaVT @stepfanie Thank you!

[Dearth Dealer @DearthDealer]

Not yet probably. I admittedly don't know anything. Just starting the conversation, if it makes sense. We've seen a market trying to emerge for dumber tractors and even niche usage vehicles. Maybe hopeless but I'm suggesting that in addition to hacking instructions maybe it makes sense to come up with a grass roots privacy rating for makes and models.

@TenebrousWhiskr @Devon_Eriksen_ Their own daughters, if they had them, wouldn't play with dolls that look like that. They'd play with pretty dolls.

Only a miniscule percent of customers will mess with their install so it's still worth it for manufacturers to spy-max. Plus, if too many people hack, they will first harden their system rather than dial back. A much much larger percentage of customers might buy the TV that spies on them less if choices existed.

[Dearth Dealer @DearthDealer]

My guess is no. I mean, without the smart features, who would buy a TV? I watch YouTube and Prime on my TV and literally nothing else. It's probably too much to ask to have the smart features customers want but leave money on the table. Also, aside from the creepiness factor, are targeted ads really worse than random ones? I WANT my TV to realize I'm never voting for communists so stop trying, ha ha.

@PerPatriot Czechs out.

@PeterLowrie12 If idiots vote for a govt to take away my rights vs a govt just does it, it's little consolation to me. Both are imposed by force. One gains power by revolution while the other gets voted in. Both claim to be the will of the people.

[Dearth Dealer @DearthDealer]

LOL, after actually looking up this case, my impression of what happened is clearly wrong. This family was in the seedy pot dispensary business. The purchase was to bypass the regulated marijuana supply chain and avoid taxes, presumably. She was buying to sell in family stores and the check was not to a drug dealer per se but an off the books supplier.

[Dearth Dealer @DearthDealer]

I wonder how many crimes are manufactured by cops like this. I don't know details but this is someone who almost certainly would never have successfully engaged in criminal activities with real criminals. If this guy took a check he was probably selling extremely cheap too. It feels good to take down the upper crust but catfishing people who wouldn't have otherwise been a criminal is only minimally beneficial to society and poor use of resources.

[Dearth Dealer @DearthDealer]

I see your point now. I never considered that! I really believe MANY people don't do evil because evil is mostly irrational, as opposed to not doing evil because one is intrinsically good. The number of people who become effectively more rational and thus do more good would be larger than those who do more evil because they become better at it. My assumption breaks down when evil people change societal incentives.

@EBasilion Without answering your question, after a year of steady training, you just don't get sore much like you did when you first started.
