Pulp Fiction. I can still say useful everyday phrases like “Well, let’s not start sucking each other’s dicks quite yet.”

You can add AI Horde (with for example HordeNG frontend) to the list as a free service for Stable Diffusion.

I mean, the biggest proof is him changing his mind and promising he will no longer be a dick towards people (at least not directly).

Also, destroying the world because it saddens you how people turned out, when you know everything (including how people will turn out) is just dumb storytelling.

But at least I have a concise guide on how to deal with slaves. And when I get horny, I can read that bit about the prostitute sleeping with men with donkey-sized dicks. Or the two chicks raping their dad, that’s a fun one.

I personally only turn it off when someone’s visiting over night and the noise disturbs them, otherwise I just leave it on nonstop. Mainly because it would annoy me to try to open whatever and find out I have to turn on the server first. I don’t have a UPS and never even thought about getting one (for the server, I’m thinking of getting one for my 3D printer).

Why would you want that? Do you seriously want to bankrupt a company for a single mistake? Not sure that’s the world I want to live in. Once this cat’s out of the bag, it’s hard to put back.

I’ve gone and read the definition and I hate it, thanks.

You’re not forced. And I’m not shilling anyone, for all I care Meta can collapse, I don’t use any of their products because of their tracking. See, I made my choice, you want to push your choice onto others, big difference.

No, a million is cost of doing business. Once you get into single digit percentage fines, you’re hurting them. Or do you expect shareholders to say, “ah, that’s fine, that’s just the EU, we’re gonna hold Meta stock because we like them”?

Another thing to consider is that it’s also about how many of those fines can the company absorb. Fine them a million? They can take a thousand of those before it even starts making a dent. But how many of the 1% fines can they take? 5? 10? 20?

That’s a choice, my choice is to back away or use an anonymous window and accept the tracking if I really want to see the content.

It’s just another paywall, it just gives you the option of paying with your data. It’s your choice what’s more valuable.

But I get it, people want choices shoved down their throats, they don’t want to actually choose. That’s why paywall is fine, but paywall with free-with-tracking-option is the big bad. No one forces you to give your consent, give it or don’t, it’s up to you.

You don’t want the choice to consent, you want to be angry at someone about something.

I obviously meant ads that track you, didn’t know I have to spell it out. So to clarify, I was talking about the tracking kind of ads which need user consent. My point was that giving consent or paying is fine in my book, because you have a choice and no one is entitled to a free service. And that even if DMA decides it’s not, it doesn’t concern anyone but a few select companies.

To be fair, I’m like 80% sure it was perfectly clear in the original comment as well.
