Yes, it should. Just make it [slop] vs. no tag. Actual content shouldn’t define itself by the abscence of shit.

Lol. Stupid thieving fucks whine that their stolen data gets copied?

his family has money

Major red flag then - if he’s not even spending money on you he earned himself, then he’s just seeing if he can buy affection. He sees this as a transactional situation, and he will get nasty the moment he feels he won’t get the returns on his “investment”.

Btw. as others have pointed out, I also agree that it is already a red flag even if it’s his own money (paying for time/activities spent together on a first date gets a pass from me, but paying for things you buy for yourself does not). And the comment about the transactional nature also applies there.

Way to tell if someone cares about you: they ask meaningful questions about you, your life, your thoughts, your personality. Red flags: they focus on doing things that you pay for, and they mostly talk about themselves or job/money.

Wouldn’t be the first to succeed with trash. There used to be a German news aggregator site, shortnews.de, where some asshat was also permanently submitting links to their own site (and somehow the mods let them despite linking to your own sites was not allowed per the site rules), and while shortnews is long gone, that idiot and their trash site actually made a carreer out of it and they are still around :(

I think you meant to say “people are saying it’s because of slop” - no sane person that I know refusing to work with this shit is dumb enough to call it “AI”

Yeah, I do feel too many people would have continued to use HitlerOS after he started the Holocaust, because not supporting genocide would inconvenience them. And yes, compared to microslop supporting a government that (supports a government that) commits genocide, finding a different job is an acceptable ask if one gets upset over being called complicit.

You clearly do not understand the point I am making. It’s not that hard to miss, so it’s more likely that you just enjoy getting offended on behalf of people. Bad habit.

You are reading a “I condemn you” where there isn’t one into “you are part of the problem”.

If I participate to an economy which exploits third world countries for quality of life and luxury, then even if I do not have a choice, I am part of the problem.

Becoming all defensive about it however suggests that you actually don’t give a fuck about using an operating system operated by a fascist enabling corporation, while looking for excuses that it’s “not your fault”.

Still, they are part of the problem. Not as big as their corporate IT or responsible manager, but still a part.

Who gives a fuck? If you still use microslop, you are part of the problem.

To the surprise of no one who had been reading the news, though. It was mostly putting some details to thinks we already knew about. Still, I commend he did do it, and I wish he could live a life less controlled by those in power - but I don’t consider him a hero. More like a tragical figure.

We don’t disagree - I commented something very similar deeper down in this thread. have no idea how to link it here though on mobile - my apologies.

With the understanding that secret police is on your side, you will never take down anyone.

You missed the point. To get that kind of knowledge, he first had to subscribe to the evil team. Which he did. It would be different if he had joined from the beginning with the motive to expose unlawful practices by the services. It is more heroic to not join team evil in the first place.

Most of us here are more of a hero, because we had the backbone to never actually work for those fascist services to begin with.
