Bruh what the fuck are you talking about?

You think that a user being upset when they give an app full filesystem access to their phone, and then having that app be handed over to some shady new owner is entitlement?

Congratulations man, ‘skill issue’ people like you are why open source software rarely takes off. No one will use or trust any open source software if this happens. This just pushes people to use tech giants like Google and Microsoft because they’re big and stable and not about to change owners.

Don’t fucking publish your software for people to download if you’re going to pull the rug out from under them. Keep it on your local machine and jerk off to it if you don’t care about others using it.

Like go through IVF so that their children don’t have to.

The fact it is so prevalent in the gene pool suggests there may be some benefit we are unaware of. Further study is needed.

No it doesn’t. That’s not how evolution works. It is not perfect, it does not march towards good, it rolls random die and sees if that leads to having kids or not. If you get old enough to have kids and have them procreate it very much stops caring.

Edit: and it doesn’t ‘cause’, it puts you ‘at risk for’.

And I said that the mutation causes massive increases in the rate of breast cancer. Which it does. Read more carefully if you’re going to try to be pedantic.

That is what the gene does, the mutation does the opposite and causes massively increased rates of breast and ovarian cancer.

Yes, congratulations. Can you name a benefit of having the BRCA mutation?

If you had it, and you gave it to your daughter, how would you tell them that they have cancer because you thought the idea of using IVF to select against it was icky?

It’s already starting to happen and it’s not this crazy mass casualty event you make it out to be.

People regularly do IVF and screen out embryos that have inherited horrific genetic diseases, or say, genes that they know make out highly susceptible to cancer.

It doesn’t mean it will inherently lead to a slippery slope. This article is literally about how the UK needs to update its laws to prevent people from getting IVF done there but getting the genetic analysis done elsewhere and then ranking their options based on that to avoid the UKs current laws that would prevent a UK clinic from ranking them like that.

This is asinine. Diversity is a strength, that doesn’t mean that horrific genetic diseases that cause enormous pain and suffering are.

Decentralized identity management / verification is still the biggest unsolved problem of the fediverse, and inherently pressures things towards centralization.

The Turing test is most specifically highlighted in movies like Blade Runner or Ex Machina where it’s a noire with a lone robot in a room being tested. In reality the future is more like Westworld where there are so many robots that can pass a basic Turing test that people are constantly engaged in more intense Turing tests at all times.

Friend group, work group, sports groups, friends of friends met at parties etc. It’s a sample size in the hundreds, and includes dozens who used to root their phones and install third party OSes in the early days of Android. It’s not insignificant to see zero usage when OP is claiming 50%. If their numbers are to be believed there should be regions where there’s close to 100% usage.

Lol I talk to family, friends, colleagues, people I play ports with. Have literally never once seen a Graphene phone.

I literally cannot think of anyone anymore who even roots their phone, let alone installs a third party OS.

Y’all are honestly deluded if you think it’s remotely close to OPs numbers.

A lot of the nuance is also one of threat assessment, and risk tolerance.

We can prepare for a situation where we’re attacked by the US, but given all probabilities is that worth it compared to preparing for a situation where we get attacked by China or Russia, or is that even worth considering vs preparing for a situation where we can ramp up industrial military production as fast as possible and become a resource rich manufacturing powerhouse?

There’s no way of knowing which path the world will go down, and preparing for everything simply isn’t possible, so every decision is going to be a matter of what risks to take for what potential benefits.

At the moment, no, probably not, and it’s not either / or. Drones were a surprise in Ukraine, but their effectiveness has somewhat diminished as new counter measures like jamming, and just basic stuff like netting, are starting to blunt their usefulness.

Meanwhile they’re still getting hammered by glide bombs, modified heavy bombs that can use GPS to find their targets and are launched by traditional aircraft, far away from the front line, and some of their most effective weapons have been the Storm Shadow / Scalp cruise missiles, which are also launched from traditional fighter jets (which effectively act as a first stage).

And again, it’s not one of the other. In an actual war, either aggressive or defensive, you’re going to want a mixture of capabilities… You can’t always zerg rush.

Find someone running a service or a company for that.

Mo Money Mo Problems doesn’t refer to money or wealth in the abstract for the community as a whole, it’s about an individual making substantially more money than their local peers.

The situation presented by OP is one of a rising tide, that lifts all ships, where as the dynamic elicited by Biggie Smalls is fundamentally one of wealth inequality. If there was both enough wealth to go around, and wealth sharing mechanisms in place, it’s not clear that mo money would be mo problems.

But the court rulings / precedence wouldn’t care about that distinction, it just covers learning from copyrighted material in general.

What if you read a copyrighted engineering textbook, and then build something for profit with that knowledge?
