Holy shit, we could make a free and open source atom bomb, and call it OpenHeimer

I think it’s valuable to make the distinction, whether it’s based on linux or not. Just like it’s valuable to make the distinction between unix and macOS.

Because despite all that sophistic nonsense, one of those allows an already too powerful corporation to extend its monopoly into the hardware realm, while reducing user agency.

It was murder. He stood against the hoarders, and they got his head.

Or a side effect of censorship. ,

edit: or if you want to be just a little bit paranoid, like i am, they’re making the official chatbots sound less natural, so they can continue to use AI mascarading as humans to influence people and parasite social media.

Can they also forbid facebook from collecting and selling (or renting) user data?
Because otherwise it won’t change much.

I wish the US had a left wing party.

Wasn’t it mostly ice?
I wouldn’t, the same way I wouldn’t lump the two Americas together.
Europe is a bit more hazy. What to do of Russia or Turkey?

Hm, the concept of Afroeurasia opens some interesting possibilities in extending the EU.

Eurasia is a single continent, the distinction between the two is cultural.

Yeah, same principle as pinhole glasses, but these look way better.

Annoying. Don’t let the industry autoregulate, it’s always lukewarm and ineffective.
Legislate. Ban underage gambling.
This is not a complicated issue, at all, the only barriers are lobbying and corruption.

When I’m in this situation I use a fresh (disposable) profile, it’s usually third party cookies or trackers.

Did a little bit of digging on that one, before being bought by Bayer, the Cutter biological division was responsible for another pharmaceutical disaster. They accidentally (?) sold 120 000 doses of polio vaccines containing the live polio virus.

Intellectual property is intellectual theft.

Bro nobody in the history of mankind ever thought too hard.

Very skeptical of that one.
They’ve been trying to target amyloid for more than a decade, and it’s the first time I hear of it actually working.

The treatment seem to have huge side effects (brain bleeding and swelling) and lead to patient death during the study.
Elly Lilly is also know for marketing zyprexa as a treatment for dementia (despite inefficacy and increased risk of death). Which is IMO criminal, at best unethical. I’m not inclined to trust them at all.

I hope I’m wrong and it works. Alzheimer is a terrible way to go.

Don’t screen shot then, post the text. Or a txt. I think that conversation should be interesting.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, I’ll check the thread.
Yeah I switched from trust to paranoia, it seems, hopefully I’ll settle on a middle ground.

Honestly I don’t think I’m technically adept enough to check this myself. I was following firefox privacy guides, and the (much more competent) people writing them were puzzled about those two.
Of course it’s not necessarily malicious, but it has became hard to be trusting.

In the end I kind of just gave up on privacy, I take mitigation measures as a symbolic gesture, but still assume someone’s watching over my shoulder whatever I do online. Not a good feeling to be honest.
