Unfortunately society encourages and glorifies shitty behaviour. So this behaviour is completely normalised for the majority of people who see it as a thing to be desired, rather than something thats shitty.

Sudo what?

It is a 5 minute operation to learn how to use a VPN.

Many are, quite literally, just install and hit connect. Something an online tutorial can teach you in about a minute or two.

Maybe a bit longer to learn the other things. But I can assure you from experience that this is something that anyone can learn about in a short amount of time.

Bit of a far cry from the years of education and training needed to enter space.

You say this as if people are utterly incapable of learning.

Anyone can learn anything of they’re given a good enough reason to want to learn.

If they do outlaw it will likely be banned solely for non-business use for this reason alone.

Some tastes can be poor

Some can be influenced as well.

The wonders of marketing making people believe that RGB vomit is desirable.

The only LED i care about is white.

I can’t imagine that to be all that comfortable given how thin those controllers look.

Seems like a bit of an ergonomic nightmare

Yeah they tricked people into believing that Apple added something that allowed users to charge their phones by microwaving them

It’s always the people that don’t have a clue.

It’s also always the people that think they’ll get some benefit out of AI taking over. When they’re absolutely part of the group that’ll be replaced by AI.

Fuckin’ Melvin

I slapped a picture of a chart into Gemini because I didn’t know what the type of chart was called but I wanted to mention it in a Uni report. I was too lazy to go looking at chart types and thought that would be quicker.

I just asked it “What kind of chart is this” and it ignored that and started analysing the chart instead and started stating what the chart was about and giving insights into the chart. Didn’t tell me what kind of chart it was even though that was the only thing I asked.

Bear in mind that I deliberately cropped out any context to avoid it trying to do that, just in case, so all I got from it was pure hallucinations. It was just making pure shit up that I didn’t ask for.

I switched to the reasoning model and asked again, then it gave me the info I wanted.

S L A M M E D

Just like I S L A M M E D my penis in the car door.

Or it’s just a shit system that doesn’t work entirely correctly. Which is evidently the case considering how inundated with bots YT is.

The justification, security wise, is that they can’t really tell what the intent is when OP connects.

The other justification is that they also want to be able to track you via an account.

Good for you. Shame that doesn’t change anything I said though.

Just use a printer! It’s in the name!!!

Why are you writing Rust? Do you want to get tetanus?

The owners are still supporting Tesla regardless of if their money is going to them directly or not. Money wouldn’t be going to Tesla if it weren’t for people buying them. It’s not just the money though, having more Tesla’s on the road drives attention to them. Makes them more desirable because of the “Well everyone is getting one” effect. That sort of thing.

There’s more than just money when it comes to supporting something.

Fuck the Tesla owners feelings. Make that shit as radioactive as possible so no one wants anything to do with Teslas. If people get upset over it then oh well.

I’m pretty sure these protests are dissuading potential buyers though. If people are willing to kick up this much of a stink then surely there’s something wrong. A protest is how you really get the message out because you can’t really ignore something like what’s been going on. It’s right in your face.

The only people that aren’t going to be dissuaded are people that wouldn’t be dissuaded anyway (A lost cause if you will) protest or a shitty Infograph that can easily be ignored or glossed over.

I am aware if how many complete wankers there are out there that go unnoticed. You can’t help supporting them since they’re good at hiding their BS.

But the difference is that Elon is a known wanker therefore you can avoid supporting him but not buying into his shit. It’s not like he’s selling something you can’t get elsewhere.
