  • "A Luddite is someone who opposes new technology, computers, or automation. The word comes from 19th-century English textile workers who smashed factory machines that threatened their jobs, though today it is often used as a general label for anyone who dislikes or resists tech."

    Interesting lecture about meaning of words there bro.

  • AI has been around a lot longer than most people realize. Grouping all AI into whatever cloud garbage silicon valley tech bros are selling makes them look like Luddites.

  • US accuses American of allegedly wiping his phone using a 'duress' password during border search | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Exactly. Even then, many phones including those by Google and Samsung have the option to wipe themselves after too many failed attempts. Whose to say they didn't type it in wrong or the individual under duress couldn't remember their password? Or that the cops intentionally wiped the device to claim the individual was hiding something that they weren't. I don't see how any reasonable judge can believe anything the feds claim after they've already admitted to lying in court, when they ignore the law and judges orders, oh and on top of it all they protect pedophiles like Trump!

  • It's really pathetic honestly seeing all these Luddites that claim to be progressive, which I'm guessing many are likely foreign operatives, act like a bunch of regressive Republicans.

  • I know people here want to talk about flock, but does no one find it questionable a journalist got loaned a $150k vehicle to review? And then another alleged journalist according to the story got pulled over in a $105k Land Rover they were loaned to review? As a journalist, do they also receive homes and women to review? Sounds like some serious corruption right there.

  • You may be right but pretty much everyone who was on this likely just never read the contract they signed, so if they really want to fight it the lawsuit likely wouldn't be successful.

  • NYT is still a dog shit pro-genocide publication. I think people are just waking up to the fact that mainstream media organizations overwhelmingly represent the Epstein-class and not the average American.

  • Microsoft punishes idiots who purchased a "perpetual" license of Office 2019 for Mac by disabling it next month, pirates unaffected

    Jump

  • I get it. You're absolutely right it doesn't make them idiots. Even I'm being hyperbolic to an extent. The real issue is much bigger and doesn't stop at Microsoft. I get why people feel so powerless and end up going along with the status quo. Really, the fact that we've allowed it is more of a reflection on our collective Idiocracy.
