I never got the motivation this "otherwise benevolent superintelligence" would have to behave like this. There seems to be absolutely no benefit whatsoever that could be derived retroactively punishing people for not working on it (hard enough). Whether or not it does is immaterial to the motivation of those who were convinced it might.
Also, focusing on one possible future scenario and completely ordering your life around it seems, like, dumb.
Also, KaWeCo. Not quite as big, but really neat fountain pens.
Honestly - I think end to end encrypted email isn't that important, as long as you don't ensure that your recipients are also using end to end encrypted solutions. Still, one should keep in mind that this isn't, which limits it's use for sensitive applications.
On the other hand, end to end encryption for file storage seems vital to me, and the only thing I'd use these 3 tb for is already encrypted archives and backups.
I don't think the average user thinks much about the platform they're on, and about who controls it. I think they go to wherever most of their family/friends are.
Also, those platforms are firmly in the mainstream, the alternatives aren't really - you'd have to actively go search for them. People just aren't likely to do that, I don't think.
Yeah, sure. Just don't look at the last election results.
Third party key market places are kinda iffy, and there have been numerous cases of the keys being offered on there having been bought with stolen credit cards, or otherwise generated in ways that aren't quite above board.
I remember one interview with an indy dev in which they said they prefer people pirating, because chargebacks from stolen cards are actively costing them money.
For people who feel they need the entertainment games provide, but can't afford current prices, I feel pirating games from conglomerates, and buying from smaller studios and indies is the most socially responsible way to do it, but I'm not your mum.
Edit: Huh, looks like greenmangaming gets their keys directly from the publishers. Didn't know that was a thing. Guess I was a bit quick on the trigger there, should have checked first. Sorry about that.
I mean, didn't he do that Carlson interview a few days ago? I wouldn't put it past Trump to pardon him, as long as he keeps on message and drums up some attention.
Jellyfin supports audio books too, but I feel that audiobookshelf gives a much neater experience.
Uh, Justitia is a Roman goddess?
