I actually do work with AI but whatever, if you have something specific you'd like to argue go for it. Otherwise let's not get into a pissing contest over credentials

Hard disagree, the neural connections in the brain can be modeled with matrix math as well. Sure some people will be uncomfortable with that notion, especially if they believe in spiritual stuff outside physical reality. But if you're the type that thinks consciousness is an emergent phenomenon from our underlying biology then matrix math is a reasonable approach to representing states of our mind and what we call thoughts.

Why not? Same as a person being inspired to reuse certain aspects. Artists reuse other artists work constantly and usually more blatantly than what AI does.

I wouldn't want to copyright every visual pattern conceivable, everything would be a copyright violation of some sort.

Some of us pay for premium but still use Revanced and Freetube because they are simply better youtube clients. Sponsorblock, OLED themes, customizable UI, better performance, etc. The adblocking is just icing on the cake

A lot of the posts seem low-effort, near propaganda level posting. We're talking r/conservative babylonbee type shit.

As for this post? Smith and Wesson are largely disliked for their promotion of a Proud Boys brand formed on Jan 6th under the name Perceeption. That put the gun maker off many enthusiasts list, it's not tolerable no matter how much the company backpedeled - it signaled support for a dark part of our country.

Sure feels like it. I've seen countless low effort propaganda posts from Throwaway and their complaints anytime critical thought enters the discussion.

This community doesn't appear abandoned, it just isn't a locked down echo chamber like r/conservative on reddit, the place where users are banned, posts are locked to specific users, and topics which go against the narrative are taboo. That's straight up unhealthy, unproductive, and dangerous. We can do better here.

Full disclosure: I am not a conservative myself but I appreciate an open community which doesn't shut out discussion.

The lists are fortunately pre-installed with ublock-origin, just need to enable all lists within options: Built-in, Ads, Privacy, Malware, Multipurpose, and Annoyances

EDIT: I spoke too soon, saw another popup today

EDIT: Ignore the following, the next day the popup message returned unfortunately

I can confirm, I was getting the popup message yesterday with ublock-origin and was able to fix it by not only updating my filters but also subscribing to all the optional filters. It seems the default lists don't have a fix yet but one of the optional ones does.

Who the heck is proposing we value that? Everyone is saying we value the safety of real children which may entail keeping artificial CP legal.

Also it's a victimless crime so punishments dealt out are criticized heavily, and for good reason.

I'm torn because your cell phone use sounds pretty healthy but I worry others get a more negative experience overall especially with social media.

Also the idea of anyone prior to high-school having cell phones feels odd to me, when I was in school kids worked summer jobs to buy a phone so senior year of high school was a popular year to get into the cell phone game. I didn't get one myself until I completed college and thought I'd need it for work (I didn't). Hardly use it but it is expected to have once you're in your mid 20s making appointments and whatnot. But do people really expect you to have one in elementary school?
