  • ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing

    Jump

  • I'm exactly the same. I get that it's not for everyone. I understand that, and respect it. But I hate people framing this as you having a trust issue.

    It's the opposite of a trust issue. I trust my wife to be responsible with my bank accounts. I trust my wife to see my location because I also trust my wife to only bother checking if she has a reasonable reason to do so, and to not be a weird paranoid freak if I'm somewhere she doesn't expect. I trust my wife with the password to all my online accounts because it's easier to just share a Bitwarden than it is to segregate everything, and I completely trust her to not invade my privacy.

    The thing is, our lives are online. If I get hit by a bus or something, I don't want her to have to deal with my death while ALSO figuring out how to convince banks and insurance companies and whatnot to let her in. Much easier to just share my Bitwarden with her.

    I'm not in some panopticon, worrying "Oh no, what will my wife think about me being within 500 yards of an ex's house" or whatever because I totally trust her to trust me. It's just not an issue.

  • Don't overlook the fact that when he says "shaped by intent" he's certainly not talking about the user's intent. He's talking about the company's intent to get your money. I know it's popular here to say AI doesn't work at all, and it definitely has big flaws, but I do think it'll be good enough at creating an explosion of exciting new dark patterns to shake people down.

  • It’s not just AI — it’s intimacy.

  • Oh I think you're right. I feel like I'm MORE concerned that there isn't an asterisk, now.

  • I mean, just because he already did it doesn't mean it's too late to stop. I'd argue that stopping immediately is still a good thing.

  • You might still be out of luck. I'm half tempted to search this out because I really really want to know what that asterisk has to say.

  • I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them.

  • Sadly this is rapidly becoming untrue. There are at least two small mom and pop restaurants near me that have gotten rid of their delivery driver and just deliver via one of the app services.

  • I'm so used to him being wrong about everything he says that it feels weird when he's right.

  • You misunderstand. They want to automate the office jobs and indoor jobs. The crops will be picked by hand.

  • I think it's part of a psuedo-religious death cult thing trying to force the apocalypse to happen. War and Death are easy. They're hard at work on Famine and Pestilence.

  • More than half of Americans - and 83% of Democrats - say ICE has gone ‘too far’ in arresting migrants: poll

    Jump

  • It seems to me that they can be stretched just shy of infinitely, because sources aren't reliable and people aren't paying attention. That is, when a source reports on what's happening with as little bias and editorializing as humanly possible, it is labeled as "left bias" while the conservative news sources don't bother talking about the problems with ICE at all. As long as that's the case, they can basically get away with anything because their human rights abuses won't get enough coverage or will be dismissed by enough of the population that it won't actually have an impact.

  • Isn't this basically what they did in The Dark Knight? You know, when Morgan Freeman was so horrified by the implications that he made the whole room self destruct afterward?

    What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?

    Jump

  • I think I misunderstood what you were originally saying and we're more or less on the same side. My point was that it's not about saying "okay we'll stop caring about this" but about saying "this isn't the thing we need to be focusing attention on right now." I worded it very poorly.

  • I get what you're saying, but every rights movement has worked the opposite way. It's not about giving up ground, it's about picking one battle at a time. Gay people fought to be not killed, then fought to be accepted, then fought to be able to marry. It wasn't a single "equality" battle, it was a series of battles in a longer war. They didn't slide back immediately when they couldn't get married, they fought the next fight.

    Some people really suck, but for a lot I think it's more misunderstanding or reluctance to let things change. There's many reasons. Labeling everyone who doesn't get on board with every facet of what you want means you're reducing your allies. And those people who are comfortable with one thing but uncomfortable with another may become more comfortable when they see that the first thing doesn't lead to the collapse of society.

  • It's not a real rule. More like a running joke, because she's had problems getting chicken dishes right more than anything else. It probably does not come across on a random comment on the Internet, but I do think it would be kinda crazy to actually have rules like that in a real relationship.

  • I'm married. I do most of the cooking anyway. My wife is banned from cooking chicken because of the last time. So... "<Wife's name>, we talked about this. No chicken. Let's go to the Mexican restaurant nearby tonight."
