I was also thinking about buying it, but I want my phone to be my phone.

I actually use my browser from time to time. What is the use of a phone if you need a “backup phone” just to look something up?

Also, their reasoning for blocking the browser is absurd: “you could use the browser to access social media.” I don’t use TikTok, Instagram, X, or the like, so why do I need to be nannied?

They said that they specifically blocked this.

Sure, but it generates a lot of problems.

The biggest problem: How can the older generation live if the younger generation can’t support them?

Perhaps he lives in a single-story building, so defenestration might take some time.

That’s why I mentioned that they finally reached human trials. That’s the last big step before they can be released. New technology needs time to go from the lab to practical use.

We are getting there. There are human trials for a medicine that regrows teeth and another that restores teeth.

There is also the rent-to-own option, which nearly no one uses. After paying the rent for X years, it’s your house now - a portion of the rent went toward buying the place. It should be transferable to another person or paid out if needed.

That’s how you generate generational wealth, even in lower-income situations.

I would be interested, but the amount of paternalism is disgusting.

No browser? I’m an adult; if I want to search something on the net that I forgot (when was that event?), that’s my f’ing right. Don’t try to patronize me.

They sabotage themselves by trying to teach you “to be a better person”.

No social media or internet browsering for you, young man! Now do your homework. 🙄

And then they add WhatsApp?

Ah, easy fix there: half the income and the rest disappears on its own and the little guy can go on.

On the one hand, I can understand the people who used Steam cards being pissed. On the other hand, I’m impressed with Steam for putting scamming victims over profit.

Remember: Valve made money from gift cards, whether from scammers or legit users. They chose to give up this money just to avoid supporting the scammers. If everybody did this, scammers would have a much harder time.

There are mainly two big drives behind browsing today: horny and hate.

I’d be happy if more people browsed because of horny than hate.

That vagina is spiky and on fire.

What the fuck are Amazon and Facebook doing? They were always spying on everyone, but that was just for targeted ads.

Now that the government is on the brink of flat out fascism they start sharing their data?

I think the problem is that you think that, while a majority of people think little, if at all. Dumb people and kids for example.

There are enough people who just consume media without reflecting for ads to work, or ads would simply disappear. Companies know how to use statistics.

Have you seen him after the talks? He looked completely defeated. They have something on him. Probably pedo stuff.

Could have been Trans Sis Thor.

We don’t choose egoistic people as ruler, egoistic people (and psychopaths) try to become rulers, regardless of the price or morality.

What flavor do you want your surveillance state? We’ve got ‘child protection’, ‘terrorists’ and ‘crime prevention’!

If your productivity doubles, they will lay off half the people, and all gains disappear upwards. It’s already happening.
