Stand up against tech? Cut off your nose to spite your face? Apple sure won’t care. Nor is Apple all encompassing of “tech”

Dumbass. Retard. If you’re not resorting to those words, you’re right, I gave you the benefit of the doubt. My mistake.

> You don't own your fiber connection. So why try to own another rapidly depreciating, expensive, and annoying asset?

Like a car? Because I don’t want to depend on uber or a taxi service.

What does fiber have to do with anything? I don’t need the internet to run my local models.

For real though, what is the point of running a bsd on a personal computer? Seems like intentionally handicapping yourself.

“AI” is inert. It responds to stimuli, no? The intentions of the stimulator drive the response, no? Is that not accurate?

To qualify this: yes I think anyone that can just walk away from this job because its tuesday and they don't like tuesdays is extremely privileged, there is no doubt. I was/am speaking purely from a financial perspective.

If one cannot live within their means and save up an emergency fund of ~6 months, I don't think that is unprivileged, that is just not responsible.

Can everyone do this? Probably not, life is hard. Have most people made a series of life decisions for which they not longer want to be culpable, instead complaining about how hard life is? Almost always. There are always edge cases, and reasons we need a solid social safety net, I advocate for social safety nets. Most people just spend too much money and bitch that they're paycheck-to-paycheck.

I didn't say that either. Strawmanning isn't very nice. Have a good day!

> “drunk driving kills a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so it’s impossible to say whether it’s bad or not”

No, no that doesn't work. Nobody thinks that.

"Drunk people who do it think that!"

You framed your comment as a 3rd party, not the idiot driving drunk, the above 'argument' doesn't hold water.

I've watched the World Cup over free-to-air TV, US has a really fun match last night. I don't know where you got this idea from. I haven't paid for television service in decades.

If those posts are examples of 'panicking' we have yet another idiom I've just learned about.

AI is like when some fella named Nobel synthesized dynamite. He sure did have good intentions as it relates to safety for workers doing dangerous jobs.

There is your “pro” argument.

The “con” argument would be all the other ways dynamite has been twisted and used since.

This AI stuff is neither good or bad, it is a tool. The people using it are either good or bad.

My spouse and I both work. We also live so far within our means that either one of us could quit tomorrow and our lifestyle would not change.

Is that privilege? I consider it basic fiscal responsibility.

IIRC, the PS2 was sold at a loss, most of the profits came from accessories like controllers and memory cards. I worked at circuit city at the time which is why I remember this. The employee discount (at cost, essentially) did not exist for the console. I was irritated so I did some digging and that was what I had found.

Nope, no sources. That was like… 2 lifetimes ago.

> You don't need a peer reviewed study to tell you that a heavy rock will fall faster than a light rock.

Either I don't understand gravity, or you might want to pick a different analogy...

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. I chuckled either way.
