It’s a UAE state owned company, even says so in the bot summary if you didn’t want to read the article. This is a bigger issue than just Australia unfolding.

Totally. If we’re going make real change with this we need hard enforcement that says “you must provide a default setting that can be set per browser” or something that avoids the entire need for sifting through their cookie menu to find out I left one turned on. But this is peak example of ineffective laws to govern the internet made by people who don’t have any experience in computer science. I’m sure we will continue to see “do not track is just a suggestion” messages continuously. Or the requirement for each individual website to specify what type of tracking in absurd detail.

The province whose entire economy depends upon the continued growth of the consumption of fossil fuels has issues with regulations that reduce the impact of fossil fuels on the planet?! Shocking I say! Flabbergasted even!

I love this. I want this to be the answer.

Chemists would know there is no J on the periodic table :-(

So to phrase this appropriately: you could say the apartheid blood emerald trust fund baby is experimenting with dangerous technology on disabled people because he views them as less than human. I don’t think it can be viewed any other way than sleazy. Besides it’s not like people with disabilities are so desperate they don’t care about their quality of life.

I agree here. Hope my comment didn’t downplay the severity of this. It is horrible and the investigation needs to continue. But I stand by saying the headline makes it sound like a Saw movie.

That being said, I hope the whole thing gets shut down at this point. It sounds like vapourware. Like full self driving I’m sure it all just works. Just wait 2 more months and they’ll release it. Yeah. Right.

True. The headline is sensationalist. It’s not unusual to have these types of effects from medical device testing, animals scratching at scars etc. but that doesn’t excuse the outright lying from Musk. These people signing up for the trial are insane.

“Consumers” you mean…patients in dire need of emergency medical care and transport? It’s not like it’s a luxury ride if you’re having a heart attack.

What the hell is a middle class vegetable? Is this some slight at the Irish and potatoes?

Sorry; but you only make 175k a year, you don’t qualify for the mortgage on our luxurious 1 bed Coleman because you don’t have the required 500k down payment. It doesn’t matter that you can pay the 4k a month mortgage bill, it matters if have enough savings so we can further gatekeep home ownership! But while I was explaining this the home sold to an investor. Better luck next time!

And yet still no app or integration with android or iOS. Can we please stop making plastic junk and use our phones like the rest of the world?

 

It appears Memmy doesn’t support 2FA enabled accounts? When I try and login I get an error saying “I must enter my token” but there’s no place to add the token to the login screen.

Any advice? Or should I just wait for an update and use the web client?
