Fast-charging an EV for an hour would use the same amount of electricity a home would likely use in a day.

There was personal information included in the data. Did no one actually read the article?

Big emphasis on the ‘A’

Only idiots think Apple is privacy friendly lol.

Apple has everyone fooled.

Apple are privacy-focused insofar as they will privately sell your data, sneakily.

Had mine for over 20 years until it disappeared. Years later still no idea what happened to it. Only issue I had with it was the clock it had, broke halfway through owning it.

Ideas are easy. If you find the secret to sustainable implementation let me know.

Ja that’s right, I knew it was a plant or something. Thanks!

Now you’ve outdone Google.

Alright, calm down. If they “outdid” Google, they would have their own SEO dreamland platform. All they did was work within the confines of Google’s algorithms, A/B testing until something works. When Google makes changes they repeat. Overall the Internet is in a reeeeally shitty state due to the marketization of search results. There have been some things I have searched for whereby there were pages of what was essentially cloned articles. Many times I’m unable to even find what I’m looking for. Recent example, there was that article posted about that AI service / software that aimed to poison images, I don’t remember the name. I tried searching for the actual software / website. I gave up and never found it through the utter bullshit “articles” all spouting the exact same thing and clearly taking advantage of the “freshness” and relevancy of the tool.

It is. Something something, using their likeness (in a commercial context).

All of those are outside activities, right? In my town we have flyers and stuff in a few different locations. At times I get annoyed I can’t find information about events online, and then I think no it’s actually a good thing.

That’s perfect. There was a thread not too long ago discussing how Amazon Prime removed am item from someone’s media library and gave them $5 as “compensation”. Imagine someone coming into your house and taking something they don’t sell anymore and leaving 5 bucks on your kitchen counter for your troubles. So many people in this world want their cake and eat it too, you can’t have it both ways. If it was agreed that buying a digital asset conferred some type of ownership, they might have an argument now. They made their bed, now they can piss off and do what they want with it, it’s theirs to do with as they please because we can never own a part of it.

Define stealing digital content.

Unraid (you pay for how many disks you have in your array, you can get the unlimited one for like $119 - would have to double-check but it’s around 100 bucks, it’s not subscription-based, so once you buy it you have it for good). Been using it for years, it’s great and is pretty easy to set up. If you have any questions let me know. They’re constantly improving it.

One day they find a way to inject ads into the downloaded file, don’t worry.

What are people doing to get this message? I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in so long I can’t remember.

• Don’t use the official app, use something like NewPipe or the equivalent on iPhone, on desktop use Firefox with uBlock origin (go into settings and enable filters at your leisure)

• Get a VPN that has adblocking built in (I use Mullvad, I honestly don’t know how effective it is because I have other adblocking as well on top)

• if you want to get fancy with your home network, use AdGuard on a raspberry pi or docker or whatever works best for you

Nobody likes to be made to feel stupid. A person without knowledge isn’t stupid on the face of it, they’re just a person without knowledge. I think the moment you start insulting someone the argument or whatever is already over at that point. At that point it’s not a discussion it’s the beginning of a mud slinging match.

And comments like yours are exactly why I want open discourse. You’ve risen in the comment ranks with misleading information. And even if what you said were true verbatim, how does your argument solve anything? Do you think that suppressing someone’s right to think or express themselves will make them “see the light” like in some movie? Think about it from another person’s angle. If someone you disagree with tries to silence you, I’m sure you would not be okay with that, right? If they said you’re not allowed to have a safe space because your ideas are somehow dangerous from their point of view. They could use the same argument your using, demean your viewpoints by name-calling. In their mind, their opinion is the correct one, much the same as you’re feeling. Where does it end? These are all fairly common arguments to silence people and where has it gotten us? Think of the children, this group of people are dangerous they’re not allowed a voice. So you’re free to speak, just please don’t cross the line into defamation or anything illegal. I find it troubling that the first thing you did was go searching in my comment history, instead of simply addressing my post on its merit, which is something we all should try and do. I don’t care what you believe politically or whatever, I’m here for discussion and advocate free speech, and to do that there are times when you will defend peoples’ right to speak you don’t necessarily agree with, but there’s more to it than this petty arguing, and that’s what I’m trying to get at. To sum up, you’re essentially telling me to shut up through the side of your mouth, as is your right to do so in a free world, but I implore you to critically evaluate your comment. Honestly I’m not 100% sure what your point was, you’re stating criticism is part of public discourse, I agree, I don’t advocate otherwise. This implies that people should be free to speak, but also to be criticised, yes, again, I agree. Then you speak about walls to criticism, not sure where you got that from. A downvote is not criticism, it’s a mechanism by which to control visibility of someone’s post or comment. My argument is that people should be held to account for those downvotes, which would mean they would be criticised, so again we circle back to the criticism, which I’ve already agreed with you on. I hope you allow yourself to let go of whatever hatred you have in your heart, and I wish you a good day or night wherever you are.

Do you actively seek this stuff out, or are you perhaps misrepresenting the extent? I browse the Internet everyday and have so for many many years, yet oddly enough I don’t manage to stumble across this type of content I see people complaining about.
