Apple, Google, all of them are doing it, ‘protect the kids’ right? Or just target ads and those who dissent against the government.

Sure thing boss man, I will get right on that.

For my group, basically everything came to a grinding halt. The more fun one is now when LLM’s go down. Oh, Claude not working today, guess no one knows how to get anything done any longer. FFFFFFF.

The science on it shows they are effectively useless. What they do is put messaging out that may have long term changes. But quick changes? They typically are worse for messaging. Know what works even better? Voting and participation in government.

Leaders actually listen to some.extent.

Do they? I haven’t seem a lot of meaningful changes in France due to protests in the last 10-20 years. Perhaps you have a list of them that a directly due to protests? It seems like the ruling class, leadership and in general regular people just ignore protests as ‘part of life’.

Depends on the browser. Many have it built in now, so your argument still fails.

Totally, they really should change those ad blocker buttons. Off to indicate ads are off right? Definitely not ‘on’ to indicate that ads have been disabled. Because that would be too confusing for people.

You do the same thing with ad blockers. They are on when you are blocking ads. This is on for blocking AI.

You and your post makes no sense. You have to enable ad blocking, so why wouldn’t you enable ai blocking? It’s even well explained in the screenshot and blocked by default.

Except those bombs and a gun to the face.

What have millennials put effort into except complain about how much things are worse for them? At Least Gen X had the fortitude to say ‘huck it, I just don’t care and won’t participate’.

Shhh, chronically online white youth don’t want to talk about that. Hell if you were a woman you couldn’t even have a bank account on your own until 1974.

No, they couldn’t afford groceries then either. Goodness. Like do people forget the oil crisis in the 70’s? Wonder why so many receipes came out about Jello and microwaves?

Unfortunately that isn’t even true either.

Yes, we all know that he is the mayor of NYC, not the governor of NY. However the mayor of NYC is often seen as wielding as much power as the governor, hence why there are always comparisons, and they are valid when looking at larger approval ratings of policies. If this was some DSA mayor of a small city in the middle of nowhere, there wouldn’t even be a news story about it. Hell, there are many very liberal mayors in California, and they are hardly talked about, for the exact same reason.

LOL, autocorrect is doing a terrible job today.

It’s a big talking point. Mayor of NYC is basically seen as wielding equivalent power to the state governor, so it’s a popular comparison, and shows that Memdani’s politics which work well for a urban liberal city don’t scale to state wide policies, which is quite common in the US. The real power and show that Dem politics are changing is if Memdani’s approval increases state wide and more DSA members win elections across the US in November. It seems like in very strong Dem districts this is possible, but in toss up, or weaker Dem districts, the centrists Dems are the ones that have been winning primaries.

Except it’s only for NYC, for the rest of the state his approval ratings are actually going down. That’s common though. Urban liberal areas usually think positively of liberal politicians, but when you add in rural areas, their approval ratings drop dramtically. Basically nothing has changed, even with someone as well liked as Mamdani.

Same process for AI. If you don’t understand how to use it, then it’s useless. Same thing with search engines, if you had ‘Google-Fu’ you could find anything. That’s any and all technology. If you know how to use a tool, it’s useful. But don’t give a person the wrong tool for the job, especially when they don’t know what they are doing.

ome of these dumbasses i work with can’t even navigate basic windows features–and these are college bound young adults.

It’s funny, if you have a generation that hasn’t ever needed to use Windows, wasn’t trained on it, pretty hard to knock them for it. It would be the same thing as taking Windows users and dumping them on Mac, or worse, dumping them into a rando Linux distro and saying ‘good luck, why do you suck at this’. Its a pretty popular YouTube video topic for the tech sphere lately though.

How come? I mean if used as a tool to accelerate learning, concepts and to allow students to learn things in a personalized fashion, it could be a great tool. I would say multiple choice tests aren’t great, but the invention of the Scantron certainly freed up instructor time to focus on teaching rather than grading.
