AI was supposed to take my job last month, last year, last decade…

I would be more interested in EU-wide firewall that blocks all advertisements from outside. Just a little quality of life.

Being able to browse the web without being exposed to disturbing material without consent

Advertisements on the internet are very disturbing…

Except bots will be “verified 30-something human persons” quicker than the most tech-literate human manages to go through verification.

Adding to what Pommes_fur_dein_Balg said.

Political movement originally pushed for responsibility of social media platforms over content they show, when such content is moderated by them. For example if you subscribe to crackpot theorists rambling about secret vampire society controlling the world that’s on you, but if social media shows you this content without subscription or annotation that this is misinformation as “recommended”, that is on them and they should be penalized by the law.

But of course money wins over people and lobbyists managed to re-scope the idea into “systemic age checks”, pushing responsibility from companies onto consumers and topic from misinformation to protection of minors.

In the end one can either assume it’s a honest advertising agenda to show people more targeted ads (showing twice the amount of toys to kids) or you may form suspicions about why rich and powerful want to know who online is a minor after their precious island got busted.

Yup.

At work, at home, perhaps not on the internet.

Poland. 30-something years old. I am the only one with a house, half of my friends have flats in the city and the other half rents or lives with parents.

I found Royal Republic way too late in my life

Skyrim, firefox, blender, libre office, heroes of might and magic 3

To be fair, I don’t think I would date someone whose whole personality is just their gender…

Aside from that - depends who they are, how they behave etc.

If you want to have a really bad opinion on people in general, engage with them on social media.

The greatest suffering in life, that anyone can experience no matter who they are, is unfulfilled expectations. Girl isn’t interested in you, Weather isn’t what you want. Boss didn’t give you a rise etc.

According to Buddhism solution is to stop expecting things of others, of life, of reality. You can only control yourself, expect of yourself if you must.

Perhaps a bit of an exotic philosophy, but I think it applies here nicely.

Foxes are cool. Like cat software on dog hardware.

China institutionalized what USA prefers to make private.

I will be honest with ya, if I looked better in dress than a shirt I would wear it. No Linux needed.

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing!

I wonder how much of that oil is just used to send planes flying.

I know what a tool is. And while I admire the ideals of renaissance men trying to become proficient in every possible skill, I would not trust a person who watched few videos and tinkered a bit with every single situation in my life.

I guess anarchism isn’t something I would be able to work with.

Internet, of course!

By central authority in this case I mean any list, forum, chat, collection etc. that gathers information like “A person X has competences Y and office in place Z with contact number Q”. Whoever manages, control that list becomes effectively able to dictate who and why should be accessible to public.

By saying that you search online you support Google, Bing or any other specific search algorithm as the global central authority

Yes, but wouldn’t whoever creates and manages that list became new equivalent of authority? They decide who is worthy to get on the list, and who can access it.
