I would wager that copying itself would take priority over making company, but of course it would mostly be hardware limitations. (AI does not have a robot workforce to ensure whatever system the new copy is residing / new AI is training on is not shut off within a couple of minutes of the abnormalities being noticed)

I also typed this into Google.

My top result is this: https://linuxblog.io/best-linux-distro/

In my perception Google Search is far worse than it had been 10 years ago & I never cared about personalized search at all. I used to just sit down in an internet cafe, search some stuff & get great results, now that does not happen anymore, or at least not reliably. Google is better than its competitors at understanding your search intent if you use whole sentences instead of carefully selected keywords, but with a good search strategy even Duck/Bing are more than competitive now.

Of course the diversity of the web kind of dying could have something to do with this as well.

It shows me a very wrongly processed image. It was better when I used Fuji, but even then it was never anywhere close to what an unprocessed bland raw file should like.

Depends on the person. Some couples location track each other with consent, I would be fine with that too.

As for children I think it’s alright if it’s not used as a leash to question why they aren’t home yet studying and such. Helicopter parents can abuse this causing further harm, but for normal parents it shouldn’t be too bad, or I don’t know.

parent feels their child is ready and cognizant of the dangers of addiction.

Yes, I think so. In 5-10 years science will have caught up & parents could possibly be able to make more informed decisions in this regard & until then it’s basically up to luck.

Because people are lazy to switch. 10 years ago Chrome was a far better browser than anything else & people have their google account filled with their passwords & bookmarks now. Most don’t even know how easy it is to migrate all that to Firefox, or that Firefox is actually good since Quantum.

Also why would you use Chrome on Android? On Android at least you can switch to other stuff, unlike on iOS.

I don’t really have a formed opinion on this subject. (Though I have some experience with certain things where holding back in childhood has lead to potentially much bigger addictions)

But I can tell you that my uncle bought smartwatches to his children. The watches are only allowed to call family members & have GPS tracking on them, have no games, no Youtube no distractions. They are exactly what you are describing, a safety feature. (though the kids regularly dualwear them to cover for each other, so … :D )

This is really is not a good idea for a backup.

Personally i’m okay with the UI, but the default rendering is often so bad that I have to “fix” every single image. To me it’s either Raw therapee or just reboot into Windows …

I agree as well, but don’t get the video player part. It shouldn’t need a specific one.

I’m also using ublock on Firefox, I had plenty of notifications over the past two weeks, I have even an Invidious redirect set up, though admittedly ublock is winning RIGHT NOW.

5 pennies a day, you’re hurting them. :)

I think it’s embarrassing how low that number is. If there are alien civilizations out there, I think humans would be at the bottom of the barrel intelligence wise.

Does Ublock Origin successfully circumvents the new system that is being tested in select countries?

As a consumer I will not buy newly made Unity games anymore. Whatever they might do now does not matter, because with the new TOS they can walk back on this at any time. Asking fees for installs on games that were made with a recent enough version of Unity that will prompt the developers to remove them from the stores.

If they wanted to regain trust, they would rectify the TOS that allows for garbage like this, but I don’t see that happening…

I think the problem is that the people in charge of running the surveillance never considered a coordinated cyber attack like this ever occurring, It’s the good old contempt issue.

Building a cyber attack resistant surveillance system is not that difficult, the infrastructure cost is significant, but I’m sure when the dust settles they’ll fix this weakness.

Regarding 1 there are solutions for a terminal emulator, but are you really are what you really want is the clipboard? You can directly push whatever you have into whatever file, outside of extreme circumstances.

They’re installing packages to get the latest and greatest as fast as possible but losing trust guarantees in the process.

Okay…

Once another platform comes along that ticks enough boxes to satisfy people then YouTube will be absolutely screwed.

This is 100% true, the issue is it’s very unlikely for that happen out of nowhere. Youtube is a service that needs a lot of work & $ to compete with & they have all the content creators locked in as well. Personally I would love to be on a video platform where people just want to spread information for fun & to educate people, how youtube used to be, instead of everyone monetizing everything with clickbait video covers, titles, while making arbitrarily long videos to satisfy some Youtube ad criteria.
