I mean, kinda does. The grand majority of people are largely unfamiliar and uncomfortable with sex or sex-adjacent play as a casual thing.

Bullets are lead. How exactly does one expect an EMP to have any effect on them…?

Shame really.

Sex is so much fun, and being open and comfortable with it and kink in general is incredibly freeing.

It’s a form of play that doesn’t get treated like a form of play by society.

That’s the point.

It’s a anyone that don’t want around. Label them antifa and now you can do everything the law allows with terrorists and worse.

I love product updates as part of my technology feed…

I miss old technology feeds in the classic internet days. That actually posted and listed out cool stuff with technology

Seriously, is there an actual technology community that posts about technology and not just drama that is tangentially related to technology?

I mean they practically encourage it

Not exactly ideal archival software…

It doesn’t store files in a human readable way and requires a separate DB and application to interpret your stored data. Without controls over how it stores that data.

Prioritization probably.

They are busy keeping up with engineering teams 4x their size for their browser competition… (~500 engineers building Firefox vs ~2000 building chrome)

Of a million potential features, you can only choose a subset to work on. This one was likely low impact and a low enough use case priority that it got regularly bumped under higher priority work.

This is just the way… Well… Anything with limited resources works.

Happy they finally got around for this.

A fucking prayer on the floor?

Wtf

And pretty soon many of those laws are going to exist only to benefit corporations on the rich and to harm everyone else.

The people in power are going to continue making laws that pushback against the fabric of society.

I mean look at Nazi Germany. It was legal to imprison Jews and it was illegal to protect them. The law is not moral and it’s only going to get worse.

I just set the desktop app up a week ago on a new computer. I am most definitely not mistaken.

Yeah but the local backups suck because you have no control over their retention period, And it forces you to create a new one everyday. Which if you have a large signal history, can wipe your phones storage in just a few days.

Yeah, the current backups are pretty dumb in the sense that it writes a new file everyday and you have no control over retention, history or deletion.

I just want to be able to backup all my media history and chat in a securely encrypted file to a location of my choosing with a retention period of my choosing.

Except it won’t. The desktop app specifically states that it will not transfer history when you activate it…

I mean that’s essentially the same thing I said just with more words.

Meta has money. Which makes them immune to consequences.

In this case, by way of bribes.

You didn’t counter my statement. You just added to it.

Yeah, but for 99.9% of computer users that doesn’t matter.

They’re getting their hardware from major manufacturers or second hand from people who bought them from major manufacturers.

Which means the negative effects will be felt across the board except for the few people who specifically purchase hardware from niche manufacturers.

I very specifically did not mention LLMs, I even called out that our current technology is not there yet. And llms are current technology.

The argument in thread was about AGI being impossible or possible. Not necessarily about the articles. Statement of llm-based agis not being possible, which is a pretty obvious and almost unnecessary statement.

It’s like saying cars with tires and no airfoil surfaces aren’t going to fly. Yeah no shit.

A fancy text prediction and marginal reasoning engine isn’t going to make AGI. By no means does that make AGI impossible though, since the concept of AGI is not tied to LLMs capabilities

This is the kind of intelligent conversation I left Reddit for lack of. Happy to see that Lemmy is picking up the slack.

Some of them. Yes, many others not so much. Are you not realizing the thread you’re commenting on here?

That smaller site services and companies who really don’t want to collect this data are going to be forced to at an expense that may be too high for their entry point into the market they’re trying to work in?

Or even worse websites or services that are hosted for free may have to incur costs they cannot afford for data they don’t want to collect.
