Mapquest just released Flock/ALPR camera tracking and Android Auto in the last week too. It nav is still a bit to wordy for me but it works just as good as Waze getting me to where I need to go.

so I was going to steal this as per meme rules and I looked up Jorb as part of my shitpost theft research and came across this https://jorbsociety.org/

This plus the php thing and everything I was planning on doing today is out the window 😖

I was planning on doing other work beside patching servers today.

You are right, I am wrong. I am deleting my comment. Even if I was right this should still be patched ASAP regardless of what the exploit was.

You pick a new word to start each time? That is interesting, I love hearing other people strategies. I use the same starter word every time.

Either you support small business directly and large corporations indirectly or you just support large corporations directly or you walk out in to the middle of the woods, withdraw from society, and homestead. There is not way to participate in today's society without indirectly supporting corporations.

Sure, feel free to go in to every small shop and argue with them why they should not use AI. But supporting a multiple small shops that use AI for posters is better than giving all your money to Walmart.

This statement is the correct option.

Supporting a small business with an AI Poster is much better than supporting a big corporation.

You get to pick the hill that you die on, but what I am saying is even if they don't use AI - they still use bookkeeping software, they still file taxes, they still order supplies, they have an email, website and someplace they store documents.

So AI can be your hill that is fine, but you are still picking the lesser evil in other ways. As you said, "I guess if you don't see your money directly go to OpenAI, it helps you sleep at night better. Out of sight, out of mind, as they say."

I didn't realize I was also replying to you over and over. I also understand that you are purposely missing the point. So I'll leave it at that.

Sure, you get to pick with you wallet and go with the causes that are meaningful to you.

Personally I do not buy products that are made by Nestle or Proctor & Gamble. Because of this sometimes the other option for shampoo is then going to be a Unilever product. Great - don't really like them either but don't like them less than I don't like Proctor & Gamble and I still need shampoo.

Sometimes to support a small business that doesn't use AI posters I might not just have to pay more than I would at Walmart or Target. They might have gotten the supplies for their homemade soap on Amazon and and the only way I can pay is thru their Shopify point of sale system and then they emailed me a special offer via Mailchimp and then followed up with on email set up in Microsoft 365. And then at the start of every year, they used Turbo Tax to file taxes. Did I pick the lesser evil?

Black and white opinions are fine on the internet but they don't work very well in real life. You have to have nuance and make educated choices.

If the the small business doesn't use AI, they sure as hell still are using Intuit for bookkeeping or Sysco for supplies or Microsoft for email. You can't get any from indirectly supporting the mega corps. But you can minimize your impact by making smart choices, like picking the lesser evil sometimes.
