@GingerCoderSham @matvelloso @QuxFooBas If you want that choice you can develop your own damn software. Making every single feature optional makes software a horrendously complex and unmaintainable mess.

@matvelloso @QuxFooBas I expect lazy users to scroll past it like a eula with all the checkboxes auto selected and press accept. I should still have a choice through this (and a settings page) ti disable bloatware features.

Oh the horror, having a private AI model that runs on your computer without having to send your data to the internet sounds like a real nightmare, huh

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device. > No consent dialog. No opt-out UI. Re-installs itself if the user removes it manually. That is the true definition of malware.

@AlexEisenb5495 @JIM_THE_BOSS_ @nixcraft Which has nothing to do with a piece of software on your laptop

@JIM_THE_BOSS_ @nixcraft Climate change is a verifiable fact, and climate change deniers are in the same boat as creationists and flat-earthers, all being people who reject science.

@sohil_shah20 @nixcraft How exactly do you think the query itself would not go to Google servers? You think they'd store the entire internet index on your device?
English
the 4gb silent install is bad but the actual scam is worse. the on-device gemini nano powers help-me-write and tab suggestions. the visible “ai mode” pill in the omnibox? that routes every query to google’s cloud. you pay the 4gb storage cost for “local ai” and your queries still hit their servers. it’s bait and switch dressed as privacy

@localoptimiser @matvelloso You think it's going to kill people's batteries because you don't understand anything about anything here.
English
@matvelloso 1. Pretending you're not sending it all anyway.
2. Nobody said they wanted to send it.
3. How much are you budgeting for the batteries you'll be replacing in everyone's device?
English
English
@matvelloso @AristoSamos Advanced installation options are usually pretty good for this sort of thing. They're a bit less common now than they used to be though.

@LFTH_Alex @matvelloso Consent to what? You wanna consent to every line of source code too?
English
@matvelloso I guess I don't expect someone at a VP level in a company to understand consent

@_c3nd @Ethan_G1689 @WASPmexicano Removing only incels and not femcels from the stats would by definition skew the results. It's absurd to even suggest this.
English
@_c3nd @Ethan_G1689 @WASPmexicano *You* use femcels for women because you're a chronically online moron. And see even if you use it this is where functional illiteracy is a problem: drawing that kind of distinction in the context of the tweet I replied to is nonsensical.

I occasionally repost this and every time I do these guys come out of the woodwork angrily insisting it must be a lie
BaroqueMan@VivaldiVril
Among the most delusional people on this website are the "hypergamy" guys, the guys who insist women have a mercenary tendency to only screw the highest status men available to them. This is easily disproved by anyone who knows a lot of women. My favorite example is the Kate Upton clone I knew in grad school who was dating a short, fat, ugly, dysgenic freak. It was the kind of pairing that makes you lose faith in humanity. The truth is that the "hypergamy" bros are too emotionally fragile to avoid fixating on the concept of being inevitably dumped by every woman they meet. They can't conceive of attaining a woman's love and loyalty, so they imagine such a thing doesn't exist. Pathetic, really.

@john_w_clark @allie__voss "he makes me ridiculously happy and I want to spend the rest of my life with him EXCEPT for the next year where I'mma bounce and maybe see him every few months" is reasonable to you?
English
@allie__voss I feel like both of them are being totally reasonable and that there’s no bad guy here
English
This is what you want your boyfriend to say
If you say you want to leave for an entire year and your long-term boyfriend goes “Great idea, bye!!!” I assure you that is much much worse

What kind of bucket list item is that

@cyrusamanya Recycling viral tweets from a few years ago, eh? Nice. Enjoy that paycheck.

I didn’t even know we could use “btw” like this😭
Mwami@Johnlaban256
You’ll realize that you love someone btw you kiss them or they kiss you

@KnowingBetterYT @Snabblie Also homeschoolers go to college at lower rates cbsnews.com/boston/news/ho…
English
This isn't true and the fact that homeschool parents still tout this is embarassing.
Homeschool kids, in most states, are required to take zero tests.
Only college bound homeschool kids end up taking them. Whereas every public school student does.
This is called sampling bias.
Tyler Small@TylerSmall812
Homeschooled students frequently outperform public school students on the SAT by 15 to 30 percentile points higher than public school public school students. Check out something called "unschooling" and ask yourself why any kids go to school in the first place. Not homeschooling. "Unschooling" is where the kids don't go to school and they're not homeschooled either; they just kind of do whatever they want. yes-i-can-write.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-i-…

@freebootaCap @softlarksong @fillefoux Well, you could get vaccinated. Orrr I guess you could just be terrible at sex for the rest of your life. Good luck with that!
English
@MargaritaNicko @VivaldiVril Incels will claim those guys are all beta buxx and the women don't really like them.
English
@VivaldiVril Exactly, knowing a lot of couples IRL or just going outside, you'll see lots of pairings like this.

@LeCuzzy @WASPmexicano Only if you assume a big skew in numbers of non-sexually active people.
English
@WASPmexicano Tbf when you exclude non-sexually active and only base it off self reports I would think that it skews the results a bit
English
@WASPmexicano 2.
In fact, isn't this just clear evidence for the incels' argument?
If all incels are taken out of the stats, you would expect the remaining males to have more partners.

@GiveMeADouble @Liv_Boeree @scott_seiver Maybe so but the bio details don't work for the alt theory.
English
@Liv_Boeree @scott_seiver LOL no one and I mean no one uses the word “grandmom.” Ever.
English
Getting caught posting from an alt account that’s supposed to be your own mother. I’d feel sad for his loneliness and neediness if he was literally anyone else on the planet.
English
@GiveMeADouble @Liv_Boeree @scott_seiver I'm afraid it checks out. Maye Musk has a wikipedia page and seems never to have lived in England.

@Liv_Boeree @scott_seiver “Your mom told me…”
What would it need to say for it to actually make sense? Can you help me understand that?
