CallMeAl (like Alan)

I do have an agenda, which is to try to understand…

If your goal is to understand why people feel the way they do then why are you arguing with people and attempting to refute their responses instead of thoughtfully reflecting their concerns back to them to confirm if you have understood?

Reading through this thread and your responses gives the strong impression that you just want to argue while at the same time aren’t very well informed on the matter. Where you do respond its mostly whataboutism rather than actually addressing the comment you are responding to.

Your post asks “Why do people hate AI?” and then goes on to validates many of the commonly heard reasons people have for hating AI. You end with a suggestion that if we could develop AI into something else in the future, it might be good.

So it seems you already understand why people hate AI and are promoting an agenda rather than asking a genuine question.

Hell yeah! I’m typing this on a 2013 i7 Macbook air running LMDE 13 and it runs like a dream.

About 10 years ago there were several apps like that: Whisper, Secret, Yik Yak, etc. All faced controversy and went out of business. Today you have Hush.

When it rains, why doesn’t it rain lemon drops and gum drops?

I think most people are way more influenced by nudges than they would believe or expect, as anyone who is successful in sales well knows.

More like proton makes windows binaries not dependent on windows.

I heard Postgres was originally created in 1966 by Doug Englebart to store vectors for early mouse designs.

Tushay!

I’ll see myself out.

Do I smell an ignobel in the wind?

LTT is not sincere.

It’s the Pro Wrestling of tech. It’s Tech Entertainment. The focus is drama instead of technical accuracy or knowledge sharing. He “lost the match” because he never intended to win.

why do stock android fuck up calls so much?

In 10+ years of using stock android phones I have not had that experience at all.

What did you like most about it?

If you are concerned about the new California law it is important to point out that the California law only applies to Operating Systems vendors and providers. It does not apply to end users.

For example, if you obtain a copy of a Canadian linux distro and install and use it on your computer in California, you aren’t breaking any law.

To be clear, I’m not trying to discourage you from posting about your project and I think you should always pursue such personal challenges.

I also think it helps others better contextualize your project if you include a bit in your post about your motivation (like in your reply).

To me, it’s also very nice to mention alternatives you are aware of and how your project compares to them. “It’s doesn’t do as much as Handbrake but it’s simpler” is a selling point for some people.

What makes this better than Handbrake?

I can’t see any reason to trust this project with my browsing.

People are lazy

Yeah, that tracks. It sounds like Type 1 Laziness: people who don’t want to do anything.

I sense you make this because you are Type 2 Lazy: Happy to learn and make 100 new things to avoid having to do a boring thing more than once. That’s something I can both appreciate and relate to.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but what is the use case for this?
