Rhaedas

A) I’m just commenting on it being labeled as rage bait and not a call for action(s)

B) Absolutely go after the root cause as well as find alternatives

C) There are always alternatives

How about both? And while doing so, use applications that aren’t yet subjected to those rules.

Rage bait, or a line being drawn? The excuse that it’s just for certain type content, only some features will be limited, etc. sounds like “it’s just a little bit of Orwell, why you so mad bro?” Let the free market sort it out, if most people are fine with limitations (and future additions to those) then so be it. There are alternatives right now, so make a choice.

As a conversational AI, I found this rather funny.

There is/was talk of getting something developed to catch up to Oumuamua (the first visitor we’ve found). It’s much “slower” at 26 km/s. This new one, Atlas is going about the same speed as New Horizons, the fastest probe we’ve done so far (and that was with numerous gravity boosts, meaning it took time). So yeah, without having something already in space ready and very fast acceleration, this one will be long gone.

It wasn’t that hard. Don’t ask how I know. 5 cents a minute doesn’t seem like a lot even in 80s dollars, but…well, time flies… And it’s true, that bill only shows up once a month, by then the damage is done.

Yeah, otherwise it would have been very hard before they came into being.

It was fun to learn how things work, and when things worked as planned (finally). It’s when they didn’t work that got annoying and frustrating, and with assembly language with basically no error codes or any help, it was just…nope, that wasn’t right. Maybe followed by cycling the computer off and on because it locked up. Still have my old Mapping the Commodore 64 book on the shelf. Huge resource.

One dozen. The other dozen are also videoing.

That video will not capture the total environment that existed, and that you missed because you were trying to video it.

I understood your point fine. I indeed started out with first Commodore BASIC and then into 6502, all using the manuals because there wasn’t much else of a source back then.

I was there. I was one of them. I just chose to use tools to make my life easier. Call me a sell out, I guess.

no Google

I do not believe you.

Arch Linux

Okay, fine. A rare sighting.

Time Traveling Me who has been to the farther future: “Neither of you realize how good you both have it.”

You’re correct in that it’s not as sharp, but it still poses problems with getting into seals and lungs and sticking to everything. Plus it’s very toxic, probably the bigger concern for living there.

“I hate moon dust. It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.”

“I hate Mars dust too.”

It’s actually a huge problem to solve before any rational long term settlement occurs in these places. The stuff is pretty bad.

“…under these conditions and for these wages.”

Dwarf or not, Pluto is STILL a planet.

But he wasn’t. At least in the movie version, he and Banner had failed a few times, maybe more we didn’t see on screen. Something happened when Tony wasn’t there that sparked Ultron to become aware and catch Jarvis off guard. I’d give him credit for getting it 99% of the way there, same with Vision, but he didn’t make that final jump, it happened on its own.

And Jarvis wasn’t AGI. Seems like it to us, but since Ultron was apparently the big moment of A(G)I in the MCU even with Jarvis being around all that time, he was just a very flexible and even self-aware scripting that would never do something on his own accord, only following Tony’s orders. I think even Ultron catches on to that in the brilliant few seconds of waking and realization with his “why do you call him Sir?”
