Mac users served info-stealer malware through Google ads | Full-service Poseidon info stealer pushed by "advertiser identity verified by Google." (arstechnica.com)

Mac malware that steals passwords, cryptocurrency wallets, and other sensitive data has been spotted circulating through Google ads, making it at least the second time in as many months the widely used ad platform has been abused to infect web surfers....

and a script blocker

Way too many people still don't understand that this is an essential part of the security equation. Many sites execute 10+ scripts, many of which are doing who the fuck knows what, and said sites typically only need like 1 to 3ish allowed to function.

Sure it's inconvenient compared to not doing anything, but it's mostly front loaded inconvenience. Once you get things dialed in for frequently used sites, and learn to tell at a glance what needs to be allowed, its really not much hassle at all tbh.

Why Is There an AI Hype? | The Luddite (theluddite.org)

Companies are training LLMs on all the data that they can find, but this data is not the world, but discourse about the world. The rank-and-file developers at these companies, in their naivete, do not see that distinction....So, as these LLMs become increasingly but asymptotically fluent, tantalizingly close to accuracy but...

You want to regulate fucking fast food prices? lol. Have you considered just not buying overpriced garbage to shovel down your throat?

So the answer is price controls to keep junk food cheap for the masses who can't control their eating habits? Makes sense.

And having loads of people with a particular personal failing doesn't make it not one. At some point people need to take some responsibility for their actions and work to improve themselves. Otherwise their lives will continually be mired in negative consequences.

Where are you getting price controls?

From the title and content of the meme? Fair enough if you don't share that sentiment, but I literally led with commenting on it.

For example, ending corn subsidies

Should absolutely be done. Would be better for everyone except politicians and corporations. Also happens to be a move towards a freer, less distorted market.
