Nvidia CEO: Everybody should use AI. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When cars came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now
Rich-asshole/CEO-says-a-thing journalism. They say something completely absurd, and it actually makes its way around the news and memes. I swear, if we stop reporting these imbeciles and sharing this nonsense, half of the internet would have no idea what to do. The internet thrives and dies on these stupid souless pointless reactionary news articles, Tiktok dancing and tide-pod eating/trendy bullshit, and LLM stupidity.

For people who want an opinionated browser... Yes. They have sponsored shortcuts which cannot be disabled and they ghost out the option to in the settings. If you want to dig around the about:config and tweak things, fine, but I'd rather use a browser I can make my own. Librewolf is excellently bare bones.

In this day and age, why do we keep sharing these fucking articles? Stop giving fascists a voice.

He can believe or not believe however the fuck much he wants. I still don't know why "belief" is used so interchangeably with understanding, by basically everyone. When this angonizing hemorrhoid says "I don't believe in germ theory" what he really is saying is "I don't understand germ theory". Germs are there whether he believes or not.

Life is just good enough where most people don't care as much, because their frame of reference is the one small bad act that just happened. Bad things progressing slowly over time is the strategy of fascists. Most people don't realize what has been lost, they largely only remember when it affects them personally. The goalposts have been incrementally moving, shifting chaos into normalcy. As long as things get worse slowly, most people won't notice. Social media has only exacerbated the short attention spans of the masses.
The planet's climate is catastrophically changing, dictatorships are emerging all over the world and even in your own country, and a few rich assholes literally own everything, but god forbid, we can't stop working or scrolling Tiktok.

Liberals will always punch left to defend capitalism and fascism
What the fuck does "Opinion Journalism" even do? Go write a book or something. That's not news, "it's just like, your opinion, man." Said with the authority of news.

Explain basically every privacy, cyber security and child safety organization saying this is a bad idea, then.

I'd like to say just snap any antennae in the vehicle. Or, Faraday cage it. Or if you're really creative custom car OS. TempleOS comes to mind.

You're almost there. Fight for democracy. The Nazis are in charge now and they're fundamentally dismantling our democratic institutions. These CEOs are instrumental in this dismantling, there's no more peaceful protests that will reverse this course. We've fought Nazis before, we'll do it again.

I do have a Pico sitting around. Maybe I can use it for a thermometer project.

Both. There's a difference between showing some clerk your ID compared to uploading it to the internet. It's not a question of if it being hacked. It will be. Denial of this is dangerous. If you don't see this as important, you're desensitized by the sheer number of yearly cyber attacks.
And that's only the start. Children will only be marginalized. Protected groups will be increasingly threatened. Take your pick on whatever organization you want to look at, and they'll say this doesn't help anyone, except maybe foreign adversaries and hacking groups. What happens when the next government comes along and decides to make a more US kind of implementation? The point is, that we should not make this the precedent. Ever. Kick it while it's down.

If, somehow this next midterm election goes well, then maybe there's a mild chance at a more peaceful methods. I doubt it. It'll be business as usual in a few years. The next round of fascism will be elected in the next election, another neoliberal supporting genocide will be on the Democratic ticket and another round of madness of fascism ensues. Frankly, the US as a democracy has been officially dead since the Supreme Court gave the president immunity from anything. How can you run a democracy with such power in one person?
There's undercover thugs kidnapping and murdering people. There's a president making $6 million a day from illegal trading. There's a new focus on domestic left wing "terrorism". But not a peep from the masses. It's business as usual, as always.
