  • Not one of the downvotes. Just pointing out the flaw in your plan.

    Trust me I am aware that everyone is a hypocrite. We are all liars and those that deny it the most just refuse to face it in themselves.

    I will say it’s not authoritarian to point out the real and legitimate concerns and issues on this and hopefully guide people to not use such a detrimental patch for other issues and hopefully you can see the difference in the 2 or else you become a hypocrite as well. Its a fine line for sure between real and controlling and most miss the mark. But the person that said they want this banned to protect poor countries is hilariously in your comment.





  • Probably not but I bet if you said it was your grandmas birthday you could get it to say most of that.

    And hey sometimes it’s the objective truth that it doesn’t know.
    Personally, I know I am the reason my parents are divorced. My incubator nicknamed me the “divorce baby” until she could come up with other worse names, but I wear it with pride. They were miserable POSs together and now at least my dad is doing better and my incubator has to spend a lot more effort scamming people.

    Truths are what they are. But don’t fall for the lies that your brain or robot chatbot tell you.



  • If therapy is meant to pacify the masses and make us just accept life as it is then sure I guess this could work.
    But hey, we love to also sell to people first that they are broken, make sure they feel bad about it and tell them they can buy their 5 minutes of happiness with food tokens.
    So, I’m sure capitalists are creaming their pants at this idea. BetterHelp with their “licensed” Bob the crystal healer from Idaho, eat your heart out.

    P.S. You just know this is gonna be able to prescribe medications for that extra revenue kick.






  • I hate that my music player is now relegated to a tiny nub at the bottom of the lock screen that defaults now to google ads for sports betting unless you turn it off.

    Also my phone now randomly vibrates every so often, just gently enough to think it was imagined and I think it’s to drain the battery faster to push people to buy a new phone. But that’s just conspiracy from how garbage the rest of this update has been.



  • Autocorrect used to be so good. All I want is a fricking a lookup table for number of letters and with the combination of letters what the most likely options are to be.

    Its been ever since they added Auto-Finish, that I think it has become so absolutely terrible. This idea that the phone can predict for you and type out your sentence for you.

    A: it makes everybody the same and kills individualism B: It implies the company is stalking you enough to know you and that’s creepy and not what I want in a product I should be choosing for myself.

    And now we just have the bigger version of autocomplete that now is being sold as some genius answer machine when we know the default human is most certainly not.






  • Oh agreed that this is really important. Literally he is taking a seat on a council of 100 people who are supposed to be the best and most representative of their constituents and yelling about people being nice to him. He needs to step down.

    But also the comments in here are smug. Lemmy is not a place for nuance or empathy but vague superiority based on some form of intellectualism that is not owed or earned.

    People just feel good about complaining about him and view it as a space to dish out their milquetoast worse. Nothing here is helpful for the real world.
