I’ve been using computers longer than that and when I started I had to type commands into DOS to play games. It was never scary. My dad showed me how to do it and wrote down the commands for me and I took it from there.

Yeah, fuck that guy.

We need to just start beating the shit out of marketing people. Just any time you meet someone and find out they’re involved in advertising, punch them in the mouth. Doesn’t matter if they’ve personally done anything to you. They’ve gone too far.

This is also just harm reduction because you can’t really stop this. If China agrees to crack down what is to say another country won’t pick up the slack.

This is why we should be going after the root of the problem… Why are people wanting to do drugs in the first place? Life sucks? They have little to no opportunity to improve their quality of life? They have physical or mental health issues that aren’t being treated properly? Poor understanding of the risks involved? None of this shit is solved by the war on drugs. Fix these social issues and the demand for mind altering substances will plummet. If I’m wrong, well we’ve done a lot of good anyway and at least we’re not destroying lives over what people choose to put in their bodies.

*pushes the front one and they all fall down*

I’ll worry about that when I get there.

No but I’m strong 💪

Maybe you just shouldn’t be building a robot army…

I don’t care if girls want to be with me. I want to be as stronger than I was last week. It’s something in my life I can work towards that I actually have control over.

Not being harmless os part of their charm.

Not a programmer but when I need a more complicated powershell script for something I ask copilot first and then I fix whatever it shits out so that it actually works how I want. It usually saves me some time…

I use Jdownloader on LMDE for some stuff. haven’t had any troubles. I also just DDL a lot of the time if it’s just a single link. Firefox manages downloads well enough and shows if they fail.

As if kids aren’t finding shit way worse on the internet on a daily basis. Well… maybe not felching that’s pretty vile. But still.

Is there a political movement targeting Debian and Wikipedia?

They are using your data to build profiles on everyone, train their AIs, helping the government spy on you, and god knows what else. Your right, it’s not fun that we have to worry about this but that’s not my fault.

why are you complaining about this feature that only exists does people who do?

To wake others up to the fact that it’s not a good service to use and to the fact that maybe the people in the pictures they are uploading also don’t want to have their image handed over to all these corporations. Have you ever asked the people in your pictures about this? I don’t even let anyone take my picture anymore because everyone and their grandma has been ignoring my wishes about that since fucking myspace.

So you want it to be done locally against photos that are stored in the cloud?

I don’t want my photos in the cloud period.

This only happens for photos that you upload to onedrive. Why or how would it happen “locally”?

Have the software run on the PC or a server that you own.

You said “a bunch of asshole corporations databases” - who are the “bunch of corporations”? Microsoft is only 1 corporation.

Any corporation that lets you upload photos. Onedrive, google, facebook, whoever. They’re all abusing your data.

When you put your photos (or anything else) on onedrive they go to Microsoft’s servers. Microsoft now has your photos. That is how this works. They aren’t pushing so hard to coerce Windows users into using it for benevolent reasons.

Do you not understand how cloud services work?

Only if it can be done locally. I don’t want my fucking face going out to a bunch of asshole corporations databases any more than absolutely necessary. Shit like this is why I don’t let people take my picture.
