Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Why should I have to pay more for buses if I don't use a smartphone?
It is punishment for not carrying a govt surveillance and tracking device. Wait you're carrying one anyway?
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on 1 in 8 cancer cases worldwide are caused by infections, study finds
Does it rid you of infection if you've already got it?

How many "functions" compile to movd?
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Ideas on modernizing the open-source desktop
Games making their save files front and center might be an improvement. The old days of them being in the install directory were good. Then some started putting them in "My Documents" reasonable for alleged security reasons. Then they vanished under "%APPDATA%". Now some don't even have the name in the path thanks to the dumb idea of "cloud saves".
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Samsung accidentally freezes its smart fridges with a software update
> Looking in on elderly family members might include picking up things from the grocery store and having a list of staples needed might be an example

You would turn up unannounced with things you think are missing from the fridge surveillance camera? Here's how that should go: Visit old person. Check fridge. Check cupboards. Visit store. Visit old person.

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Fractal Jittered Voronoi Partitions
Looks like a lot of european borders around me (of various govt. levels) so it would probably be good for generating a video game map.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on EFF to Governor Newsom: Veto California's AB 1709
Adults shouldn't own one either. The Internet isn't something that should follow you around regardless of how many perceived benefits you think it brings.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Twitter Viewer – View Twitter Without Account
The options are: install the app or register using a google or apple account. Since the former is the same as the latter it all collapses down to: register using a google or apple account.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Twitter Viewer – View Twitter Without Account
You can't make new accounts on twitter. You can only use existing apple or google accounts.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
> these sites are trying to capture all the users they can as registered users before it's gone completely

With the shuttering of nitter if this is what twitter wants then the least they could do is let you create an account. You need apple or google for that. It seems like they shut the front door some time ago and now drew the curtains so people couldn't peer in.

They managed to make it enticing enough for me just to see one person's posts to enter my email but said "fuck off and get the app". I'll have to make do with the 5 posts they show without login

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on We've flown a radiation-blocking vest to the Moon and back, and it worked
Screw that. I want to go and I think it is horrible that we didn't bother for 50 years.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Every Fucking Website (2020)
The EU didn't have to do anything. The User Agent can already handle everything from denying cookies to blocking requests for certain resources.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on DARPA heavy lift challenge ends with winner at a 3.84:1 payload to weight ratio
If you can make a vacuum container lighter than air then go for it.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on My phone detects going on a run as “someone snatching my phone and running off”
Why is there a single one? If zero traffic deaths is an achievable goal then surely zero thefts are too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_Zero
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Why Are There Statues of Beavers on Top of This Oxford Street Shop?
So it's a top hat? Or not?
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Stacked PRs are now live on GitHub
> You can’t merge one commit at a time in a PR

Sure you can. The command is `git merge`

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Stop Killing the Internet: No Digital ID and No Age Verification
The Internet is fine and the bad parts will heal or remove themselves if we remove the actual bad thing: smart phones. The Internet is not supposed to follow you around hence the term "In Real Life" or "meatspace". If you want to be "terminally online" you need to sit your ass down in front of a computer for hours.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Chat Control passed first round in EU Parliament
Accelerationism doesn't work.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on He sent a harsh email to ICE's top official. Federal agents tracked him down
Yeah NPR should have posted that.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Weak hands and blurry vision: Is your tech giving you 'phone body'?
Not "phone body" I'm getting the "gamer posture" thank you very much.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on What we call "age verification" is actually mass surveillance
> The website only sees the ‘over_18’ attribute

I don't believe this.

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on The UK's Teen Social Media Ban Is Political Theater, Not Child Safety Policy
Social media isn't the problem cellphones are. The Yookay isn't gonna ban those because they are useful surveillance devices.

> 9 hours on a screen

> do something about this

Yeah ban cellphones. And I don't mean just for children. If you want to be a shut in nerd that spends "9 hours on a screen" then you'd best sit down in front of a computer.

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Russian artist and Putin critic shot dead in Poland
So who did the Germans get in exchange? Was it worth it like a basketball player for the Lord of War?
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Banned book library in a wi-fi smart light bulb
As a child I never liked the AI's strategy to plop cities down right next to each other. I should see if I can understand that as an adult. If I was designing a remake/remaster it wouldn't even have updated graphics just change the AI.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Pirates, a naval warfare game inspired by Sid Meier's Pirates
Maybe like me that is the only one they've played. I didn't know there was an earlier one for several years.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on How much do amd64 microarchitecture levels help in Go?
Here is a CPU from 2020 that does not support AVX nor AVX2 https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/199288/... very low budget and probably not common but this is why one might choose not to require AVX2
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Fine-tuning an LLM to write docs like it's 1995
I need to read docs to make sure the AI isn't inventing ("hallucinating") the API of a library I want to use. It did so I don't ask it anything anymore.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Stop Ruining It
> I'm not sure when it happened, but there was a definite inflection point

I know when. 2007 January 9. Steve Jobs announcing the iPhone.

Debian? Did they discover it yet?
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Which country will be the first to pass laws limiting Meta Ray-Ban glasses?
None. They advance the panopticon.
