Perhaps you should broaden your horizons somewhat. Tankies are an international group whereas democrats only exist in the US, so you can’t really compare the two. For one thing, they have different ultimate goals and motivations.

You should try the every time somebody gets unhappy they splinter off and form their own party political system. It essentially amounts to the two-party system in any case but provides more entertainment.

Its traditional definition works fine for this.

Just because women are doing it doesn’t make it right.

I’m pretty certain you would still get the constant emails though. I don’t think there’s a way to turn those off other than to secure the bucket.

Anyway I still maintain that an AI wouldn’t have made this mistake so the fact the mistake was made kind of implies that it wasn’t vibe coded.

Yeah I could see it being left like this for an hour or so while someone finds out what the actual security configurations are supposed to be, during which time it wouldn’t have any data in it. But to leave it like this for any period of time is ridiculous and to release it like this is criminal.

Even an AI wouldn’t do something this stupid.

Every piece of information it its data set about Firebase would have told it to secure the database.

In fairness if you leave Firebase in its default settings it won’t shut up about it.

You get warnings on the website, and constant emails telling you that you’re being a pillocked.

Does Mark Zuckerberg care about improving humanity? He’s never previously shown much interest in the subject.

Definitely a Christian organisation they have a fax machine. Keeping up with the Joneses I see.

Now to waste their toner. I’m sending them my very important white text on a black background complaint, sent 4,000 times

It makes a difference because it’s about having an effect.

American politics is really fucked, seriously it’s utterly beyond repair it’s totally corrupt. No one can achieve anything in that failure of a nation state.

Meanwhile we might actually be able to affect real political change here and I don’t want American politics all over an actual worthwhile cause.

If you want to advocate for American causes please go create your own goddamn thread, I promise not to involved in it.

Nah that’s a recent thing. Google assistant has been going downhill for ages long before this recent obsession with LLMs

It’s not the only thing people are protesting about is just the only thing people are protesting about in this thread.

You’re really determined to be angry about this aren’t you

You know cuz no one’s been protesting about Palestine for the last whole bloody year have they, oh no that’s definitely not been happening. <<< That bit sarcasm just in case you didn’t get that.

But the Visa thing is an international issue that can be dealt with by contacting Visa. They’re talking about contacting US senators, which is obviously not an international thing, it’s an American thing. I know a lot of Americans have difficulty understanding that America doesn’t equal the whole world, but come on.

Go do that too but don’t try and link it to this because it’s not even remotely related.

Wait what?

Are you sure you responded to the right comment because I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’m not opposed to bombarding any company.

Why does YouTube need to know how old I am, explicit content isn’t allowed on the platform so the age of the viewer isn’t something they need to know.

It’s amazing that you posted this after having a fairly good explanation as to why it’s not a good idea to conflate too many things together.

If you string too many things to a cause you dilute all of them. Especially because MasterCard and Visa have nothing to do with what’s happening in Palestine so linking the two causes together just weakens both of them.

oh I see so you’ve decided what’s going on and are now angry about that.

I’m sorry that your story version of me is letting you down. I’m not really sure what I can do about it though.

It’s a common tactic of fascists. If you point blank refuse to accept reality and just keep repeating the same lie over and over maybe people will believe it. Of course it doesn’t really work. The people that were going to believe you already believe you, and the people who don’t believe you, will never believe you. Sadly despite the fact that it doesn’t work, they keep doing it.

Yeah, because only men are talking about this.

i wonder if there’s the potential for a different app with more encryption and a way to prevent doxxing and abuse.

You would have to have everyone take a polygraph or something (not that they actually work but a lot of people don’t know that so maybe it would prevent them from lying in the first place). There’s no way to prevent people from lying for whatever reason they have and there’s no way to detect whether or not the thing they have posted is truthful.

The truth is as much benefit as the app may have when used properly the risk of abuse is far too high for it to ever be workable.

If you have a smoke alarm in your house that occasionally explodes and sets your house on fire, but the rest of the time actually works as a fire alarm, then it’s not a useful product, as even if the chance of it exploding was less than 1% it would still eventually blow up your house, whereas if you never installed the alarm there was every possibility your house will never catch fire. So game theory suggests that you are better off without it.

Same with this app, sure it might prevent you experiencing a bad date but there’s every possibility that it will also cause you not to date somebody who’s actually a nice person. You are far better off just making that judgement yourself as you always did. And to be clear given human nature, the likelihood of the “fire alarm exploding” is probably a lot higher than 1%
