Then go back to Reddit.

Point to a decentralized country.

You realize Apple is already the same way, right? You have to jailbreak them to install anything outside of the app store.

Linux.

Dunno yet, but I’ve quit using better products than Android for smaller offenses than this. I’ll probably settle down to do some research tonight.

If you could get that crypto nonsense out of my Weird Guy tier and down with the Outcasts, then this would be more accurate. =3

I’m afraid I don’t see the connection between the assertion that progressivism requires conformity of thought and speech and the fall of the soviet union / the establishment of the neoliberal order.

It seems to me that, under that regime, there was actually very little pressure for progressives to conform to a single ideal, which resulted in the protests you’ve mentioned being peopled by groups that spanned the ideological gamut from liberal progressives to left-anarchists to literal communists.

And I don’t think that has changed now that neoliberalism is collapsing, the recent protests are still peopled by communists, anarchists, worker’s unions, independents, democrats and even the occasional disaffected republican. The umbrella that covers the term “Progressive” is only unified in their support for basic human rights and their desire for a more just and equitable society. There’s plenty of disagreement within that coalition and no mechanism to enforce conformity to any one way of being progressive.

Where, precisely, are you seeing the conformity you claim exists?

Since when?

The only adults I know with money have no energy and vice versa.

Both of these are very good ideas.

Getting multiplayer to work well sounds like a very real challenge, given that the physics are complicated enough to slow the game to a crawl when a core blows.

Solidarity from another former white guy and campfire enthusiast.

Knowing the furries, we probably have agents in every one of those corporate data centers already. XD

Sounds like an LLM that could have been a PDF.

It also makes those large corporate platforms unappealing, which is a very good thing for those of us who have always said that federation is a half-step towards proper decentralization.

Please, please go read what the actual M.D.s and psychologists who study this topic for a living have to say on the subject.

Not a news article or a blog post, I want you to go to any reputable medical association, find their official policy, and read the research papers listed in the references.

“In the USA” and “by large portions of the capitalist class” are the answers to your question, I think the previous commenter was just a bit too incredulous because this topic came up in the news lately and they’d expected it to be common knowledge even outside the U.S. since much of the “AI Industry” is involved with U.S. tech companies.

You’re not far off the surveyed results!

Well, before I started hormone therapy I didn’t see much need for hope, but these days I’m determined to grow into a cute old fart that inspires the weird queer kids of the future and I’m taking much better care of myself. 😺
