Never accept blanket mass surveillance simply because “we already have cameras doing this”.

Everyone always thinks it’s their job that isn’t the bullshit one.

You can’t “catch” dreams.

This is awesome to hear! Little glimpses of hope, as impossible as they may seem, are still welcome.

Not everything has to do with trump, dawg.

And if my mom had wheels she’d be a bicycle.

Dude, you keep asking this question throughout the post and I don’t think you’re going to get an answer that satisfies you.

The short answer is industry inertia and professionals not realizing the amount of power they gave away to toolmakers of their profession through the computer age.

Long answer is most people use these tools to work and the vast majority of paid professional work doesn’t happen in a vacuum and is, in fact, a team effort. So that effectively sets the floor and ceiling for use and adoption. Remember, most real people who get paid real money don’t give a shit about which software package or which version of whatever-the-fuck. In fact, they’d rather most of that bleed away so that they only have to think about what they got hired to think about. Also Bob the CISO really fucking hates anything that ends in .py.

Do your job as a fucking parent.

You can use something and still not trust something.

What point are you trying to make?

I’m well aware of the term. I’m telling you, you’re misapplying it in your argument.

I’m going to be honest: you just sound ignorant and disconnected from the reality of the United States as a politically entity.

Exception and exceptional share a root word. They do not mean the same thing.

China as a state, just like the US, is a massive piece of shit. It does not need deference.

Don’t ever shit in your own house, either.

Just in case they’re watching.

Would you go a decade without getting any medical scans?

Most Americans already do so there’s less of a frame of reference for the necessity of things like MRI machines.

This is, like, 95% in response to the Neo. MS hardly gives a shit about your or my opinion but they do care about the common computer user who sees it as just another appliance.

Meanwhile, Apple made a laptop\appliance that’s capable enough to do the things these people care about in a very affordable and attractive package without really mentioning AI, the cloud, or people losing their jobs.
