They don't care because that isn't anywhere near the actual goal or point. The point is to continue moving the needle for what is considered "the norm" to remove one of the few places left where you can be anonymous/untraceable.

It's part of a much broader push to get real identity somehow inseparably merged with our tech, so everything you do can be traced back to your real life identity because it's all connected to it by default.

Jesus Christ this blight has been around that long?

Lol, I think you're literally who the joke is about.

Games used to come on physical media, and they used to include everything on the disk (or cartridge) day 1. There was no "download a patch' because the consoles couldn't connect to the internet.

I get that per Wikipedia, the source of these is:

In the Spring 2003 issue of the secular humanist magazine Free Inquiry, Laurence W. Britt, who is described as "a retired international businessperson, writer, and commentator" published "Fascism Anyone?", which included a list of 14 defining characteristics of fascism.

But you have to get that a random unsourced image of white text on a black background is some real "trust me bro" Facebook shares from Grandma type shit.

Getting tired of "it's okay when our side does it because we're right, but we'll clown on it when the bad people do it because they're wrong". Just be better.

And while I'm complaining, the source of these is a fucking editorial by someone with no actual credentials or qualifications to declare this shit. Now it's being passed around online like it's certifiable fact because it sounds accurate.

All of those are problems. All of those are bad. What is happening in the USA is bad. But muddying the waters by taking random bullshit like this as certified fucking fact only makes talking about shit harder, as everyone has their own set of things they think are truth, most of which have been latched on to for no reason more than "it sounds right and reinforced my beliefs".

Grumble grumble grumble

Blu-ray drives can be expensive, but USB DVD drives are only ~$20.

I'd also expect anyone who would care about the "physical" edition of the next GTA only being a download code in the box would have a disc drive on the device they wanted to install it on.

On paper, it's an official government news app being pushed over MDM to phones that are definitionally government property. There's not really ground to stand on here.

The fact that it's pure propaganda rather than an actually useful source of executive branch news is more a problem of the "White House News feed" or whatever you want to call it. It's a big fucking important problem.

But this is effectively whining that the fleet car you borrowed from work phones it's GPS location home. Oh no, a phone your work bought and paid for runs apps your work auto installs to it? Then only use it for work shit bozo, it's not your personal device.

Uh, just so you know OP, I can entirely put together this person's name from your screenshots. It's not censored well enough.

If you have any concern about your own privacy, I'd recommend cropping out that section of the images entirely, or covering them with a solid color block.

With a mother that would give him a first name like that, he wasn't dealt the best hand to begin with. They could have at least spelled it "correctly".

There's no hard facts about what the hell they're actually planning, it's just a fluff press release.

They claim that PACTs will be some sort of token that sites and services that can confirm you are a human or "trusted AI agent" can grant you to allow other sites to better identify you as good, but that these tokens will also somehow be entirely anonymous and unable to be used to track an identity across multiple sites and services. At absolute best this will create a sort of "chain of trust" hierarchy where people who use more popular services tied to their real identity would gather more PACTs or have "higher trust" ones, just consolidating digital power further.

Also, the first quote from Cloudflare's CTO has them claiming that people are starting to use AI agents to order them meal deliveries. Lmao, in what universe?

It helped that there were used and rental markets for relatively "modern" titles that are now almost entirely non-existent.

You worked places with style guides? Did... Did you have a real testing environment that wasn't prod too?

I got taken off a project recently for being too direct about how the rest of the team was just spray and praying entirely AI generated code with no standards or review whatsoever, and they were charging ahead like it was a race to implement features we hadn't even discussed if we wanted/needed.

If you can't tell me how it works, you can't confirm that we actually need it, you can't tell me the upstream and downstream effects (or confirm they don't exist), and you can't even confirm that we even want it to do the thing it only supposedly does, then we have better things to do than go on a wild goose chase trying to debug it when there's a looming deadline for things that legitimately do not work that we need. Stop vibe coding and actually review the existing shit for fucks sake. If the requirements have never been clear, solve that instead of generating more slop. Maybe update some of the existing documentation instead of having AI wholesale hallucinate entirely new not quite right ones over and over.

Anyway, please tell me more happy development bedtime stories. I need to chase away the nightmares.

Trump's too dumb to even consider wearing a mask to hide his racism, and his real face is far more grotesque than this drawing.

I struggle to even understand the point of this as an image, let alone as a meme. Just feels like pointless "preaching to the choir" shit to me.

Updoots on the left I guess? You're so brave?
