I feel like if browser history was invented today people would have the same reaction to it.

That is simply not true. The law since basically forever had held that manufacturers are liable if their product malfunctions and hurts someone when it's being operated in accordance with their instructions.

Edit: I hope all y'all who think the rule of law doesn't exist are gonna vote against the felony party.

What is the purpose of accountability other than to force people to do better? If the lack of accountability doesn't stop a computer from outperforming a human, why worry about it?

There's the "Google can do no right" attitude I come here for!

I love Gimp but I would never suggest it as a Photoshop alternative for professional users.

Sometimes a program is slow to start up because it's so boated that just loading it from the disk takes multiple seconds. Wasting a few kB doesn't hurt anything, but if you're doing it thousands of times in one program, your users are gonna have a bad time.

I'm not talking about just politicians. I'm talking about all conservatives. And yes, only one "side" is like that. It's their defining trait.

Mandatory service that you can pay to get out of is literally just enslavement of poor people.

And stop making it political

It's political because caring about people who aren't rich is political.

Quit being so dramatic. Nobody is forcing you to use those things. Lemmy in particular is full of people who talk in detail about how they've replaced products and services from companies like Google and Microsoft with alternatives they find more consumer-friendly. And I guarantee you major brands are gonna offer ways to turn off AI features, because turning them off saves a lot of money in data centers and improves battery life in consumer systems.
