Google threatening us with a good time.

Almost reads like standard Chinese business practice to me. Not to defend any of these grifters. Also , theres some dry humour in the article:

Notably, Jensen is currently married to his wife of 41 years

“currently”, haha

Has anyone unlinked their SimpleLogin account from Proton? I see its an option, but curious what will happen. I was a subscriber seperately prior to Proton but linked them up later. This will be the harder thing to migrate so if I can keep just simpleLogin going for a while longer. So many aliases :(

Yikes i have 100s of mail redirections setup via simplelogin, which proton acquired months after I setup. I was with proton as well seperately , but If that acquisition hadnt happened the switch wouldve been easier. Atleast i havent used much of drive or their office stuff and I stayed with Bitwarden not using pass. Just a bit of calendar . Its going to take ages to point all the services to new emails. Itll be weeks of migrating to do it safely. And im on a duo plan so getting wifey off proton (and she does use pass) is going to be a hassle. Took long enough to get there . A lesson in not sticking many eggs in one basket. Atleast we got off Google after decades of that enshittisphere. Custom domain time too. If i still use a redirector i need to have a system and not setup so many addresses. Wonder if I can keep simplelogin alone while I migrate?

Good timing for the election though.

Its a classic through that tunnel throughout the decades . But after regularly walking through as a teenager back in the day, the horns are painful as much as obnoxious and I never do it myself if driving. People do seem to do less of it saying that these days. I’d doubt as well that someone could target a car because it beeped with the speed they move through and the height of the walkway. Is the journo connecting the dots ? Unless she had the horn on the whole way through and the thrower lined them up as they came . Who knows.

Microsoft doing its own satirical comedy about itself . Almost feels wrong to laugh. But I will, when I get to work. It’ll go in my timesheet too.

Slop pedalled from a slop shop owned by a slop corporation which invests in and is a part of the slop industry. Boycott all of their products and services.

The first two words or the article. I dont need to read anymore based on the last few weeks of these pathetic attention / regulation stirring / fear-based / VC bothering / cheap marketing announcements from this total waste of energy ‘industry’.

…and reportedly…

Enough said.

Indeed. And Regulation needs to be strengthened to the tune of atleast how much it costs individuals and society. Thats the hard part.

Yeh I’d prefer no slop. You’d probably also need to clarify what the definition or threshold for this might be. Just the code? Slop docs? LLM used for any aspect whatsoever? Other communities must have a definition that might help. But your goals with it as stated are sound. Let’s not drown in vomit.

It wont be HIS extreme intelligence until he bails them out. Which is probably soon with all the desperate arm flailing and scaremongering theyre doing . Oh, you meant his own extreme intelligence? Very funny!
