My dad genuinely thinks Google is the internet. Every time he gets a new device he what’s me to put “Google” on it.

What he really means is a web browser but to this day he refers to all web browsers as Google. We were in Curry’s and he actually asked the salesman “does it come with Google.”

I wish I had my camera in-hand because the look on his face was priceless.

Good. My air con controls are actual buttons and I can use them without looking at them. But literally everything else in the car is controlled by a touch screen that you have to look at to see what you’re doing.

AI is a bad idea completely and if people cared at all about their privacy they should disable it.

It’s all well and good to say that AI categorises pictures and allows you to search for people and places in them, but how do you think that is accomplished? The AI scan and remembers every picture on your phone. Same with email summaries. It’s reading your emails too.

The ONLY assurance that this data isn’t being sent back to HQ is the companies word that it isn’t. And being closed source we have no possible way of auditing their use of data to see if that’s true.

Do you trust Apple and/or Google? Because you shouldn’t.

Especially now when setting up a new AI capable iPhone or iPad Apple Intelligence is enabled by DEFAULT.

It should be OPT-IN, not opt-out.

All AI can ever really do is invade your privacy and make humans even more stupid than they are already. Now they don’t even have to go to a search engine to look for things. They ask the AI and blindly believe what ever bullshit it regurgitates at them.

AI is dangerous on many levels because soon it will be deciding who gets hired for a new job, who gets seen first in the ER and who gets that heart transplant, and who dies.

Living under an authoritarian government now in the UK I’d like to think I’d be just as anti-government then as I am now.

Use Heroic Games Launcher. It works very well.

Likely depends on your VPN. I use Proton and it’s fine.

I keep getting errors on FreeTube on Linux.

Keep proving my point for me. We disagree. Let it go. You don’t have to hammer your point home to those that disagree.

Oh and by the way. In absolutely no way did I even mention black people. I’m not sure why you’re bringing race into the conversation but it’s disgraceful and you should be ashamed.

As I don’t wish to be preached too and as you simply can’t accept differing opinions I’m blocking you now and may also report your racism.

I must thank you for proving my point.

We’ve both made our arguments, I’ve said everyone is free to believe whatever they wish and it’s obvious we will never agree. But you simply can’t accept that people disagree with gender ideology and must try and push your beliefs onto others, in this case, me.

So to finalise this conversation.

I am of the opinion that there are two genders. You are of the opinion that there are more.

We are both entitled to our respective opinions whether you agree with them or not.

Sorry but your gender argument is plain false.

There are two biological genders. Male and female. Anything else is a birth defect and it is biologically impossible to change what you are.

Just because a person thinks they aren’t the gender they were born as does not make them some third gender. It is a mental health issue.

Sex and gender are fundamentally the same thing but the definitions have been twisted to suit a specific ideology which has no basis in fact.

You are of course free to believe anything you wish. If a person wants to believe there are 100+ genders then they have that right, But what nobody has the right to do is expect and demand that others fall into line with their ideology and beliefs. And they absolutely do not have the right to start throwing abuse and words like transphobe around simply because beliefs don’t match.

It is the left that starts the abuse.

If I were to say “there are two genders (male and female) and you can not change what you were born as” the red mist descends and because my views don’t align I get called a phobe or ist or a bigot. They simply can’t accept that not everyone shares their ideology.

As for the right starting the abuse just look at the Reform member conference in Cornwall last week.

It wasn’t the right wearing masks to hide their faces and physically trying to stop people entering while threatening and verbally abusing them.

With two-tier Kiers thought police WATCHING from the sidelines.

My ONLY problem with the left is they preach tolerance but are ALWAYS the ones to start the abuse, insults, name calling and threats when they are disagreed with.

On a place light Reddit most subs will just ban you for showing any right leaning opinions. Or any opinion that goes against their narrative. That’s not what tolerance is.

Seriously though, who still uses Reddit? It’s nothing but a left wing echo chamber, just like BlueSky.

Anyone (especially in the UK) that cares about data privacy and security should abandon cloud storage in favor of local encrypted storage.

This may come as a shock but the UK is not in the USA and Trump has nothing to do with this. Our corrupt government is fucking things up in their own way.

Proton is great though.

Like I’ve said. The first one was definitely a WAVE. But as that doesn’t suit the anti-right narrative then I’ll let you keep believing you’re right.

Goodbye.

No I didn’t. Not being American why would I. Just seen the video online.

Video I’ve seen has been paused just at the right (or wrong) time to suit the narrative. He was waving at the inauguration. I don’t know about another time.

But to my knowledge he hasn’t invaded Poland or started gassing Jews so I think the Nazi label is a tad unfair.

If you’re referring to the flag there are local authorities that will TRY and order you to take down the Union Jack as it can be offensive to some people. Which usually results on more flags being flown.

Is there another country on Earth where the feelings of foreigners is placed above and beyond the national flag?
