It's not going to flip. Tolleys derail all the time (ask people living in Wrocław). They can't go fast enough to flip. It will just stop after couple of meters.
Corporations are making more money as everyone suffers? Everything according to the plan then.
So we will need another sticker to cover MS logos on every keyboard?
Don't have kids, save for your retirement.
This had to be done. How else are you going to explode thousands of innocent children?
They are threatening to fix a problem no other civilised country has? How about actually fixing it? Right, that would be "doing something", kryptonite of every american politician.
I don't think the problem is that the girls and ashamed of the fake porn. The problem is not even that other kids will believe it. The problem is that kids will use it to mock, bully and ostracise them. It's not being shared as 'OMG, you're so hot I made fake sex tape with you, marry me". It's being shared as "you're a slut that does porn, everyone thinks you're a bitch, go kill yourself'.
That's a pretty long name.
He's not making wrong predictions. He's lying to hype his products and make more money.
IMHO calling people out for everything easily turns into vicious witch haunts and doesn't really change anything. They weren't nice to you? Don't use their software. The whole world really doesn't need to know about each alleged asshole. Not shouting at every person I disagree with is not approving of anything.
In what world anyone would think that CP implies consent? I mean, the word 'child' is right there. Do you think that the term 'child soldiers' implies consent? I don't have anything against the term CSAM but if it was created because of doubts around consent it was a silly reason to create it.

Yep, programming is fun but working as a programmer not so much. For me writing software is a creative activity. It's fun to come up with problems and find solutions for them. In my personal projects I decide what problem I want to solve, choose the technology I think will be fun to solve it in and then come up with a solution I like.
At work you are usually handed a problem you don't care about (we're decommissioning X, you don't have to know why, just change everything to use Y), the solution is described in detail by someone else and you just have to turn it into some code using 5-10 years old stack.
Fortunately at my current job I mostly do projects without much technical oversight (proof-of-concept type project) so I can choose how I want to do then. I dislike the company culture but I know that moving somewhere else would mean going back to boring coding agian.
