No shit. This was obvious from day one. This was never AGI, and was never going to be AGI.

Institutional investors saw an opportunity to make a shit ton of money and pumped it up as if it was world changing. They'll dump it like they always do, it will crash, and they'll make billions in the process with absolutely no negative repercussions.

Because they have no actual proof of it, and direct evidence against it. They talk about phones communicating with each other to restart... yet a phone inside a faraday box restarted.

It's almost certainly just a software bug in iOS which is why it's inconsistent.

It protects you from being compelled to provide biometrics to unlock the device. Since the courts have made a distinction between providing a password and biometrics to unlock devices for whatever asinine reason.

Perhaps that's where we get the Mandela Effect.

Oh it's simpler than that. They just go around the requirement via loopholes in the agreements. They know they're required to give priority, so they just make the freight trains too long to fit on the side track on those routes. So if there's a conflict, the freight train physically cannot get out of the way and the passenger one has to.

There are varying levels of moderation, and not all moderation is unpaid volunteer like lemmy and reddit. Not all moderation is just morons fighting or porn being posted where it shouldn't. There are dedicated moderation teams that handle the worst things like child sexual abuse verification and reporting at sites like Facebook, etc. Those are pretty objective based determinations that don't need to handle moderation criticism or concerns in any way shape or form.

Meh. SpaceX will continue on without him. Regardless of what he claims, he doesn't run the company. Gwynne runs the company. He talks a lot of shit and focuses on a grand vision, but the engineers make it happen. At best, he's like Steve Jobs without any of the charisma. Can't do it himself, but is surrounded by those that can.

It sounds like it might be a good job for sociopaths. Since nearly everything I've read from those who have actually done that moderation is about the effect on them due to their empathy, a lack of natural empathy seems like it would be advantageous.

I wonder if there's been a study on that.

Blood is in the water. The sharks will come to feed on the corpse. If one manages to make an alternative that can be a nearly seamless switch from WP that will probably succeed.

So just another variation of the "you're using it wrong" excuse. Gotcha.

Because of course there's absolutely no program a regular person outside of work could possibly need Windows for. None at all. Not a single application. Not a single game. Not a single piece of hardware they're using (like many laptops with hardware needing specific drivers that don't exist for linux).

Nope, absolutely nothing a regular user could have a need for Windows.

Marked as Spam, I'll never see it again, and if enough people do they'll get the entire email service blocked by your email provider since they're actively hosting spam. And there's not much more annoying and difficult than trying to remove a legitimate service from spam lists because some users abused it.
