They pretty much did exactly that when they kicked Russians off the maintainer list and Linus was a super big ol’ dick about it too.

Lol “that one company that’s worth millions of dollars that you remember from your teen years did just fine after they left that website and bought another company that was worth millions with a name we all recognized since our early 20’s! If they can do it, why can’t you??” You also gloss over the fact that they relied on Facebook and Twitter to get the recognition they ever got in the first place.

Come on now. Surely you understand if you’re selling wooden bowls you carve yourself or a local lawn care company and need to have the largest presence for that Facebook and twitter are virtually the only way. Sure there’s radio and building your own website but all that costs money and time. If you don’t have that you are forced to use Facebook and Twitter.

Unless you like running a business that performs poorly compared to the competitors around you, that is. That is still an option!

I hate twitter and Facebook and reddit and all that shit too its a privacy nightmare but everyone acting like you can do just fine with a business without that without having astronomical cost increases and headaches along the way is lying to themselves and everyone else around them.

I want everyone to leave too but acting like a pompous ass about it and saying “you have no excuse not to succeed without the tools others around you succeeding are using!” Isn’t the way to do it.

Trump will be requiring steam engine boats again soon at this rate.

I’m usually not one for control but I like this and its a positive decision.

Still think they should let 18 year olds smoke again though.

On the website it says the data only goes back to December 2025

Would copying it in a text file not work? I mean Christ they are already skipping out on all the work they can’t even copy it?

Its like asking the kid in class to copy his homework and then handing him a pencil and paper so he can copy it for you

When’s the last time you used Kagi? I alternate between that and DDG and dude Kagi is probably the best one I have ever tried. Better than google even.

Let’s see who is really in control, then.

I sure don’t see them getting out yet.

Where’s that coup the west did in 2014? You didn’t link it.

And buddy a free country can join whatever organization they want. Russia is the one that didn’t keep their end of the agreement

Also fuck Nazis. I’m not a fan of when America also swings its dick around and invades sovereign countries, either.

Did it start in December 1994 when they signed the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances?

Or in 2014 when Russia violated it the first time?

You guys are pissed because one country can’t keep a promise and the others are doing what they said they would do.

They will say this is a proxy war but will say that Russia helping Iran isn’t the same thing as a proxy war.

Rules for me and not for thee

That Michael Smith dude got 5 years in prison for his AI music scheme.

Haha so your kids must not like video games?

Ok. Got a link for mine and the few million other kids?

Yeah. Didn’t fucking think so.

You got a link that isn’t from greedy capitalists for a Minecraft backpack that your kid wants?

That’s what the fuck I thought.

This is a techspot link with no paywall for me. Did they change it?

“This is intended to handle the increase of calls that are related to one incident, so callers get automatically routed to an AI agent who asks if they are calling regarding the incident. If the answer is yes, then callers can receive information or updates, and if it’s no, then the callers are transferred to a human.”

Imagine being in a life or death situation or delerious and having to now decode what the AI is asking you about whether or not this is “regarding the incident”?

How does that even work? Is it gonna be like " oh hey, is this about the rape at 100 Rfucked Lane?"

More likely “we noticed you said that this is about a wreck. We’ve determined that this is about the same wreck we are already getting calls about (because no way two or more wrecks would occur on the highway the same day) so please go ahead and leave any new information here!” And its just a robot.

Imagine trying to whisper that you are in immediate danger and some AI is like “I didn’t catch that, could you please speak up” forcing you to talk full volume into the phone. Or, maybe you’re screaming too loud where a human can make sense of it but an AI is just hallucinating what it thinks you’re saying.

It’s a horrible idea and 20 years ago I would say I am shocked but not anymore. They don’t care about us.

The Farquuad meme

“Some if you may die, but its a sacrifice I am willing to make”

This is borderline outright responsible for murder. Maybe not exactly but so close its hard to tell it apart.

Have these people never used AI on phones before? Its horrible. Worse than horrible.

Wow. This was a really bad decision. I can’t imagine how many people are going to die from this

The United States, Russia (and before in Soviet Union), China, France, United Kingdom, India, Pakistan and North Korea.

I’m assuming you meant actually used them or the first to develop them and yes USA is the only one that did that and it is fucked up that they did that you won’t see me disagreeing with you there.

My point still stands
