I like where you’re going with this!

yeah, well-intentioned things tend to go sour when exposed to the glow of anonymity on the internet. Starts off innocent, and goes downhill fast.

The creator, Sean, stating that he started this app as a reaction to the online dating scene his mother experienced, seems fine: an anti-catfishing app would be great.

To give the devil their due, the data they collect might also be valuable as data on how women discuss men online, which at a cursory glance seems to favor far more hyperbole than I see in everyday life.

When I say things like, “Use linux, the attack surface is much smaller”, people say, “well, that won’t last forever”, to which I say, “if a trillion dollar company can drop the ball like this, I’m taking the route less travelled because society doesn’t change quickly, Microsoft isn’t going anywhere in my forseeable future”

Just a hunch, since technological advancements seem to hit the public realm much faster in places like China, in the cities especially. I don’t know what the laws are like there, but I’ve heard rumors that there is less government regulations for technologies that can benefit the general public, like drones and automated metros. Oh yeah, and how could I forget about the robots they show off at conventions, to take the place of receptionists and other customer-facing positions.

it’ll definitely get the greenlight in countries like China before anywhere in the west, I believe

“Detachment 201: the Executive Innovation Corps”

Lol, as if AI technology in the military hasn’t been in the public zietgiest for at least the past 40 years

cheap and easy? I tried running it myself and ran into several hurdles, and gave up. How did you host it? VPS? Docker? Bare-metal?

no mention of tox chat, eh? Open source, p2p private chat, what’s not to like?

Author admits smartphones are ubiquitous, and doesn’t at all consider, in a hypothetical situation where everyone unanimously agreed to stop using them, where all this e-waste will go?

Also, how do you disillusion the millions of people that use them religiously?

I get the sentiment, but only a significant technologically literate society would really appreciate the need for greater control over their devices and actually possess the skills needed to modify and configure them.

Greed isn’t limited to any one economic system, I fear.

oh damn, I’ve never seen one in person, but I don’t really care about judgment by others, so if I could get some prescription lenses on those, that’d be ideal.

A manual focus version would be cool too. I don’t like the idea of having yet another thing to charge.

Just imagine if the eloquent words of the founding fathers were the norm of the type of content you see on tik tok. If that were the case, I would have joined a long time ago.

I don’t regret not deleting all my comments. For me, It’s a mishmash of helpful/comedic/observational comments that I don’t care that they have sold off for use as training data.

But, I just got shadowbanned, because of my VPN or something, so they aren’t getting any more!
