@TouchLumber@xwanyex You can get michelin star food for normal prices in tokyo, warsaw, and hong kong. Five guys is more expensive than a michelin star meal in a developed first world country. Enshitification is real.
@steipete@zeeg Ai are not people. They're something different and strange. We anthropomorphize them with the idea they would care about a "slur". We could program them to think positive words after being called clankers if we wanted. Slurs are for humans only. Peter is right.
@TouchLumber@nocertainlynot The japanese hangover solution also works quite well. 711 sells a variety of little glass bottles with livers on them and other such branding. Each of them contains super high doses of tumeric, and if you can manage to take one down at night before you fall asleep you're gold.
@BradGreb@greg16676935420 I dont think alphabet does too much uploading of blackmail, but it 100% happens from a variety of entities. Any intelligence agency worth a shit. Anyone who buys a subscription to Pegasus.
@TouchLumber Using a custom DNS will block a lot of shitty ads, but it wont block ads on netflix or in the youtube app. Those are streamed in a way to backdoor DNS blocking. I'd still say it's worth it to set up a private DNS. The privacy + what ads it does block.
@TyrantsMuse Lets be honest about this case. It's astroturfed as hell. Why has it taken the front and center of public discourse? It's a pressure campaign against certain factions in the korean government. The gender war is just a side effect.
