Even with web integrity, I don’t see anti-Adblock working. We’re almost at the point that client side AI can screen capture the web page and recreate it sans-ads.

And there are probably simpler solutions to bypass anti-adblock

Why was Trump being interviewed by one of the Supermen from the Flash TV show crossover?

Rosa memes are actually unique much of the time. And they call back to memorable scenes… so win win.

I’ve worked on payment systems. It is very hard to federate unless something like Stripe is used for actual payment.

Credit card companies simply won’t interface with you unless you prove their data is safe. It isn’t a process that scales well.

Brick and mortar companies get around this by having payment terminals which are insanely locked down. (Which is also why those terminals mostly suck)

Someone played too much Fallout New Vegas.

(it isn’t possible to play too much FO:NV. That game is a masterpiece)

That diahrea might have been extra energetic; falling at faster than terminal velocity

I don’t think moms realize this can go the other way. When I was a kid I learned to just never mention any girl’s name, regardless of the reason.

UBlock is much more reliable than no script in my experience. It’s also usually obvious when it breaks; no script sometimes isn’t obvious until you hit submit and notice none of what you typed actually got sent.

I love it in theory… but it just broke so many websites I needed to use. And not always in obvious ways.

A type of worm which can literally have sex with itself

Not unless you are a nematode…

You can buy houses and cars without a credit score.

If you want other people to buy your stuff for you, that’s when you need credit.

I am confused by why everyone thinks this is a big threat?

What stops the FOSS community from just continuing to allow ad blockers and other webpage editing features?

I guess it depends what the client things the right tool for the job is. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail

Because the models don’t support your statement.

Billions WILL have worse lives due to this. A very small subset of that will be because they are on the verge of starving.

I think this conflates capitalism with lack of coordination. We could fix global warming today via regulation. Even if our government was socialist, it would probably still not be curbing emissions due to trying to achieve some other non-capital goal.

Second, there isn’t any need to falsely imply our species is going to die because of climate change. No model points at that. Billions of people having crappier lives and dying sooner should be enough motivation.

(Seriously, agree with you in general though)

Mark Twain was created by other humans… but his grand parents aren’t famous.

I see no reason the thousands of people who work on an AI will be any more famous than the thousands of non-acting artists who currently work on a movie.

Maybe directors (or the AI prompt writer) becomes more famous… but even that will self-automate pretty quickly

This looks appealing as ‘just a basic smart phone’… which the more I think about it, the less I need my phone to be an all purpose computer.

I’m not sure it’s worth the price though, based on this review: https://www.theverge.com/22716194/fairphone-4-review
