Hey, did you use a secure encrypted connection to make that treasonous remark? I’ve got 999 on speed dial, I’m on to you, you encryption terrorist!

Denmark seems to want to fuck everything up lately, what’s their problem?

If they “can’t do anything” on their own service then how can they be trusted at all?

They’re either lying outright, or are so deeply incompetent that they don’t know how their own software works and can’t touch it to try to resolve a problem for fear of breaking something.

Okay, so long as a passkey is something I can memorise. Otherwise, it’s significantly worse than a regular password (assuming you use good passwords and don’t reuse passwords etc).

It seems like they want to tie it to a physical computer (like the one in your pocket), which sucks big time. What happens if I don’t have access to that computer at all times, or it breaks, or is lost?

I’m planning on getting rid of my smartphone for something that just does calls and texts for example, because I’m sick of how unhealthily reliant I, and everyone, have become on this thing, and I want to be more connected to the real world. What then?

My brain is the best place to store passkeys, it can’t be hacked, stolen, lost, etc, unlike every other option. It’s easily capable of storing lots of randomised unique passwords for each service (surely I’m not the only one that can do this?). It’s the clear winner.

Fuck yeah, LLMs for the LLM god! All hail the hallowed datacenter! Sacrifice the DNS!

I’m the author of my video content, not YouTube.

I carefully produce and render it, carefully ensuring it meets the quality level I require, and then I upload it.

I assume YouTube will transcode it, sure, but I assume they have expert engineers who have tailored the transcoding system to maintain the highest possible video quality whilst hitting whatever their filesize goals are.

At no point should AI be applied to alter the content of my video in any way, especially without my consent. That’s ridiculous.

To be fair, this is 2025, there’s no trustworthy data about anything any more.

Hell, you might just be an AI. Or I might just be an AI. Or maybe there wasn’t even an outage. I didn’t notice any issues, so maybe AI hallucinated it, or it’s been made up as clickbait and been second-hand reported by thousands of news sites that don’t care about fact checking any more.

Not that there are facts any more, anyway.

Pacific Rim. Building giant robots to fight large creatures… Ridiculous, but fantastic film!

‘Not one Linux distro named after me! After all I did for them!’

I wanted to move to Jellyfin, but there isn’t an app for it on the LG WebOS library like there is for Plex, so I wouldn’t be able to watch stuff on my TV, which sadly makes it useless for me :-(

I don’t have the money to be going out and buying extra add-ons for my TV to watch stuff either, sadly. So, Plex it is for now!

People really do not like seeing opposing viewpoints, eh? There’s disagreeing, and then there’s downvoting to oblivion without even engaging in a discussion, haha.

Even if they’re probably right, in such murky uncertain waters where we’re not experts, one should have at least a little open mind, or live and let live.

And giving them sweeping ability to track everybody via their identity papers, to see what websites and services they’re using, what all their online identities are, etc.

They claim the info isn’t being saved or passed on to the government to form a big surveillance database to one day use against people - sure, it’s legal to, say, be gay or a socialist or of a particular religion today, but societies and regimes change, and the info they collect on you today may become ammunition against you in 10, 20, 40 years time.

But I don’t for a moment believe their obvious lies.

This is nothing but authoritarian police state monitoring and control. It’s extremely obvious. Yet, who are we to vote for in the next election? Not Labour, thanks to this (and a few other big reasons perhaps), not the Tories because, well, you’ve seen what they’re like.

It’s not impossible for a third party to be elected of course, not as impossible as places like the USA that have a very worryingly solidified two party system, it’s just very unlikely.

Knowing the British people and their seeming apathy and poor judgement at scale these days I wouldn’t be surprised if they elect the racist bigots at Reform - who ironically would be even more authoritarian and evil than what we have now.

As usual, there’s no hope for the future and no possibility of good outcomes.

Humanity is doomed to repeat it’s failures for all of history again and again, and we’re just along for the miserable ride.

Feck you too, I guess. If that’s how you want to behave.

I could understand you being unhappy with our government, but just blanket swearing at all 68 million of us is a dick move.

But the timestamp says 2012, how can it be 13 y…

Google does try to feed me news from “The Times of Israel”, quite often, which is really odd. Usually I only get shown valid local news, occasionally stuff from America too.

And… The Times of Israel, I guess?

Well, no.

Many would argue for example that the politically correct thing to say right now is that you support Israel in their defensive war against Palestine.

It’s the political line that my government, and many governments and politicians are touting, and politically, it’s the “correct” thing to do.

Even if we mean politically correct as just “common consensus of the people”, that differs from country to country, and changes as society changes. Look at the USA, things that used to be politically correct there - things that continue to be here, have been thrown out the window.

What this prompt means, is that the AI should ignore all of the claimed political rules and moralities and biases of whatever news source they’re pulling from, and instead rely on it’s own internal moral, cultural and political compass.

Sometimes it’s not politically correct to discuss the hard truths, but we should anyway.

The issue here of course is that you have to know that your model and training data is built for unbiased, scientific analysis with an understanding of the larger implications in events and such.

If it’s built poorly, then yes, it could spout racist nonsense. A lot of testing and fine tuning from unbiased scientists and engineers needs to happen before software like this goes live, to ensure rigour and quality.

Makes sense, we pay our licence fee for our public service, why should people abroad get for free what we have to pay for?

I was happy with the current arrangement of adverts supporting the service use abroad, but if it has to migrate to a subscription model to meet modern demands then that’s the way it is.

I wouldn’t go to another country and ask them to make one of their government’s national public services free for me to use, after all.

Murdered. Not killed, murdered.

Both technically true, but the way they write killed suggests it wasn’t murder in cold blood, an act of war against another country to bully and control them.

Murder.
