This is some dystopian shit. I never cheated at a test and wouldn’t even want to take a test under those dehumanizing conditions.

But not the cheat sheet post-it notes she could have put all around her computer screen

Pearson using all sorts of extremely invasive and questionable kernel-level access plugins to make sure people don’t open notes to cheat on their test on their computer. People just open their notes on another device. Or, you know, paper.

“Upgrade”

What do you mean? That would be horrible!

AI is great at pursuing the ideal you give it, in that case “make money”, and finding all sorts of counterintuitive ways to pursue that ideal the best it can with complete disregard to anything else that could distract from it including humanity’s interests and morality. It would destroy the planet just to make more money… oh wait no nevermind now I see CEOs do that already.

Two Canadian Air force pilots had to be medically discharged after a Russian ship caused permanent damage to their eyes with a laser a while back.

Fuck the Russians.

The harder they’ll try to force feed it down their customer’s throats by making it increasingly prominent and obnoxiously insisting in the interface, the more people will hate it.

How can Microsoft still not know that fact after doing it for over three decades is beyond me.

Sounds like an Activision-Blizzard problem to me.

I disagree.

He infects a government and hijacks all of its functions to give himself more resources, money and power, causing himself to grow out of control with absolutely no consideration given to the wellbeing of the country outside of himself.

He’s a virus, or a cancer.

I kinda like being able to watch a video on one screen and not having to make sure that there are no animations going on anywhere else or the video framerate drops like it’s 1996.

Great. Now bring back Windows 7

You’re telling me I’ve been brushing twice a day all my life for nothing?

Man, what a bummer.

This image makes the Windows logo look like a political alignment chart and now I can’t unsee it.

Trump: “if you want to do business with the US you will have to pay the tariffs”

The world: “OK.”

Having people kiss his ass and give him free handouts to stay in his good graces is how Trump has been operating his entire life.

The asshole almost escaped to the UAE too. Good thing they caught him in time.

What worries me is what he will do after he doesn’t win that prize and is no longer incentivised to maintain that extremely superficial pretense of “peace” that he’s already awful at.

They’ve crunched the numbers and know the vast majority of those people will die long before they are entitled to the money. They just won’t pay the rest.

If I understand well, even if you were able to install F-droid through the store (which you can’t because Google doesn’t like it), you won’t be able to install apps with F-droid anyway if they implement this.
