No lie, this is how I learnt keyboard hotkeys as a kid. I’d click middle mouse to open a link on the site in a new tab, with my hand ready to go on Ctrl + W. The nanosecond I detected a fake site, I’d closer that sucker and move onto the next link.

Oh boy did I bring a lot of viruses on my computer in the process in the name of efficiency & greed (& hefty amount of stupidity).

More blood data for the blood data god.

Title is on point, OP 👏

I’m sure he’ll find unpaid volunteers to carry his ass, that he’ll sell out once they reach the bunker.

Putting aside the dystopian angle for a minute, if you knew your data is valuable, would it change your behavior? e.g. if you behaved exactly the same as the median, would your data be valuable to advertisers? They gain no new info from you. Would you behave erratically just to make your data more valuable?

This kind of makes the theft of personal data even more insidious, IMO. Your data is only valuable if you forgot you’re being watched.

I think Indians are willing to ignore an encroachment on some of their liberties, as long as there is actual improvement in their daily lives. Its the same as Chinese mainland citizens with the CCP. Living conditions for most Indians is improving rapidly compared to their parents for a majority of Indians. In their minds it’s ok to not have, say freedom of speech, if you can guarantee food on the table, which wasn’t so a decade back.

What most Indians don’t realize that this is a deal with the devil. Letting go of too many rights, or adding more gatekeepers to their freedoms, is going to come bite them in the back. The Indian government has historically had a heavy hand on their citizens for protectionism, something they learnt from their Soviet influence. What remains to be seen is will they ease up in the future, when Indians will eventually start to suffocate in these restrictions.

History can grimly predict this, but I have my fingers crossed.

Wow so its from the duh region in france, here I thought it was just sparkling dumbass

Very true, thanks for your sensitivity @dumbass

Is Pepsi ok?

This is brilliant! The Hanlon-Clarke variant is a nicer name though

This could actually be why they’re entering China. Emerging economies might buy much cheaper older tech from Chinese machines instead of cutting edge &expensive ASML machines… Once the tech is out, Pandoras box can’t be unopened (from ASML’s perspective). Stifling Chinese adoption early might make any Chinese competitor nonviable without govt support. Overall might be worth any retribution from the US.

@criitz made an good point in a reply to a comment in this same chain: https://reddthat.com/comment/16623939

Essentially, if we made fun of his head shape, someone normal with a simar head shape is going to read: “that head shape is bad” & is going to be hurt & more self conscious of something they can’t control. That is collateral damage to an innocent bystander you may not have intended.

I have no idea why you’re down voted, your point is absolutely valid. Perhaps people are angry and want to hurt those in power, consequences be damned.

That’s an excellent point, I hadn’t thought of that. I suppose if the derision becomes popular it might lose this context and cause hurt to the wrong person.

While I get what you’re saying, a lot of people are practically powerless in front of these billionaires, that shape & challenge their very existence. In the face of such helplessness, I can understand attacking someone in that much powers’ uncontrollable attributes.

It’s easy to be trapped into thinking “treat them as you’d like to be treated”, when the oppressor proves time & time again they will not treat you like one of them.

Just my 2¢

Agreed. I think GN missed the point by not publishing the smoking gun receipts, but an avalanche of receipts for things LMG was guilty of and have admitted to. It kinda makes it look like GN wants it to look like they’re “burying LMG with evidence”, but in reality the smoking gun would only need to be a paragraph & some screenshots.
