Capitalism isn't bad. It's what humans do with them that is bad. Don't be a greedy dick and they would all work fine.

Capitalism demands greed and infinite growth in a finite and resource-limited world. It's inherently contradictory, regardless of your ethics.

A famous alt-right politician in Brazil was in a podcast once and said the quiet part out loud. He's one of the main "next generation right wing" representatives and he said, live:

"... you know we are lucky the average Brazilian is too dumb, if they started reading and thinking they'd vote for the left, God blessed us with this idiocy"

His voters couldn't parse this sentence and understand what he is saying.

I'll just sigh and move on, not worth getting stressed out over a dumb reply online

Ah yes, great analogy. My computer with the operating system I installed and the files I own and want to modify certainly is the same as going to some strangers apartment and trying to buy it.

We don't want to invade the privacy of... the software... right?

The set of primes and the set of integers have the same size, you can map a prime to every integer.

I don't understand why society accepted that the hardware maker gets to decide what software you run.

That'd be like your car deciding which roads you can take, or your blender deciding you're not allowed to use strawberries in your smoothie.

Are you nuts? Why the fuck would your phone decide which apps you can run?

The first public demo of Siri back when the iPhone 4S launched is more impressive than most AI commercials.

AI is getting billions in investment. Every single company out there is pushing employees to use it. Most brands have OKRs of shoving AI into their services.

And yet a chat box, removing objects in pictures or generating mediocre images is all they ever achieve.

Nobody goes beyond that. It's always the same as ChatGPT but with a modified system prompt. It's always image generation. Oh look we spent half of the quarter's budget but now our website displays an AI generated summary on top of the already easy to read information!

Which to me is irrefutable proof that AI is a useless money sink. Every company out there battling to grab your attention with AI, billions of dollars, market pressure and it's still useless?

People love complaining about some random obscure feature only they and 4 others use being """hidden""" in Dolphin which usually just means it's not a default button taking up half the UI, but can be added in ten seconds by using the toolbar customization features.

Okular is the best PDF software for Windows, beating Adobe's own solution.

I'm not. It's cute you believe you understand the legal context better than I do though. But that's still not an answer, I don't give a shit if you believe that's how it works or not.
