That’s what redundancy is for.

Pretty much this. The moment they actual reach end-game they’ll tear themselves apart. Fascism requires an enemy to survive. If there’s none available, they’ll turn inwards and cannibalize.

This scares the shit out of me. A hundred years ago we saw the rise of fascism. We saw freedom of expression being suppressed. But we had one thing going for us, which is the weakness of every dictatorship. The snitches are not enough and they can’t be everywhere. You never know when they can be listening and chances are most times they aren’t.

Now we are seeing the birth of a new fascism. Where AI can monitor ALL of us, ALL THE TIME. Not just our prompts. Everything. Everybody experienced talking about something with a friend and a few minutes later you are receiving ads about that thing, which you never searched before. Now imagine you are being monitored all the time for any kind of subsersive opinions. You won’t have a window to fight. The moment you give the smallest hint of dissent, you are efficiently removed from society.

And forget just leaving smartphones. More and more all our services are associated with it. Very soon you won’t be able to function in society without it.

AI won’t rule us. AI will be the ultimate tool to help other humans rule us and fighting back will be almost impossible. I feel this isn’t being talked enough and how eminent it is.

Not much, just stare at Luigi’s picture and droll.

Maybe Musk should sue them…

I also used Spotify but it has a serious problem. There’s no guarantee your contents will be always available. I had music there that, for whatever reason, was removed and I can no longer listen to it. Not to mention music that was never available there. I don’t want them to control what I can and can’t listen.

Now I only use Jellyfin. It works great (except on Android Auto, but they’ll get there). Sure I have to download the MP3 but you only have to do it once and then it will always be there. Just use spotDL and rip the music right out of Spotify with all the metadata.

Students? Even teachers are doing it…

The school I work at is implementing this starting next week.

Except it’s a music school so they can use metronome apps. Also, they can use it to send emails to the copy room to print music sheets. Or to use in class when it’s required. Or for whatever exception they can think of. And they actually expect us to enforce it with all these exceptions.

Yeah, I’m sure it will work /s

Time to get the retractable baton out of storage.

Now I’ll never know how to make that inverted d

And regarding the i30 and the Kona, you have no clue what you’re talking about. I actually took my time to pick that car. They both use the same platform, yes, but that’s it (obviously, they share some of the same equipment) . The Kona was supposed to be a crossover version of the i20 but they used the bigger platform to accommodate the electric version. That was way before they came up with the Bayon.

I never considered the i30 because it was out of my price range. Yeah, price is a factor buddy. Yes, the Kona was considerably cheaper than the i30. I was actually debating between the Kona and the Citroën C3. They had similar prices. But I wanted a larger car so the Kona was a no brainer. I basically got something like an i30 for the price of an i20 and boy am I happy.

So, with the dilemma of having the car I needed or your approval, well…how hard could it be. So, get a life.

1. That’s pretty much all you did.

2. It’s not the same but, even if it was, why can’t I prefer a taller car? You are judging according to your preferences. If I had chosen a sedan you wouldn’t care. By the way, what do YOU drive. I bet it has a bigger engine than mine, yet here you are.

3. I answered a comment, not the article. I’m actually inclined to agree with the article. You’re the one that felt the need to pick up a fight from your own high horse. Just because I reminded someone not all SUV’s are huge trucks with huge engines. How dare I prefer something your excellency finds not due if thy approval.

Maybe I wanted to buy a slightly higher car and find the Kona more appealing than the i30. Who are you to police my taste? It’s still a car that’s not the gas guzzler you try to portray. You could also say the i30 is just a slightly bigger version than the i20 and now emmits more CO2. Where do you cross the line?

In my country I actually pay taxes according to engine size and emissions and guess what, I pay very little because it’s still on the lower end of the pollution scale. It’s a 3 cylinder for Christ’s sake! I don’t see you complain to sedan, offroad or sports car owners, and they pollute (and pay) way more than a small crossover. Or people that use their car everyday. I ride a small 125cc motorcycle everytime it is not raining. I bet I pollute a lot less than you do.

I dislike big SUV’s as much as you, but I find odd people trying to put them all in the same boat ignoring their body and engine size. People like what they like and have no need to justify themselves. If you’re worried about pollution talk numbers because that’s what really matters.

Why not the i20? Why not the i10? Why not walking?

I like the Kona so I bought it. Now I have it and I like it so I’ll keep having it.

Kona 1 liter

It’s a crossover. Mine has an even smaller engine.

Is somebody going to tell them?

Who the hell hurts winRAR? That’s like punching Dolly Parton.
