Someone strapping on a suicide vest would be a more appropriate image.

I guess corporations are just our rulers and and we shouldn't even try to restrict them because it might make them mad at us.

We don't have to let corporations rule us. If voters weren't so fucking brainwashed we could make a system that works for everyone. I'm hoping at some point it will be too obvious for anytime not to notice that a system where give swathes of the population are just left to starve isn't something we can tolerate.

The problem is the system that requires people to have jobs just to live.

I’d like to see an introduction of better social support systems as we replace these jobs en masse.

*cough* UBI *cough*

Couldn't you always unlink Google services by using different accounts for them?

It needs the "but". LLMs are generating more work for programmers, not replacing them.

Have you seen broadcast TV? It was enshittified before the web even existed.

A lot of people are really irrationally afraid of anything involving radiation. I mistook you for one of them.

What gave you the idea that swallowing a small amount of mildly radioactive material is fatal?

It would've been great if they used reasonable safety precautions in making them.

A lot. Look into how it's mined.

[Edit: Maybe it's cobalt I was thinking of. But one problem I'm sure about is that lithium demand is predicted to be greater than the supply of lithium batteries continue to grow in popularity.

OTOH it's not harmless either, e.g. https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/02/01/south-america-s-lithium-fields-reveal-the-dark-side-of-our-electric-future]
