At the time of the Internet bubble, there were people pushing for more "free" usage of the Internet, and those that couldn't care less.
And it's not like the companies didn't want to take advantage of the Internet, but there was a mismatch between what the companies and the employees had in mind, which mostly boils down
* Employees want to use it to do their jobs and make their life easier
* Companies want to improve productivity, spend less and make more money.
There is some overlap of course, but the problem is where the two clashes.
I don't think today it is too much different. I see plenty of people using AI for what they care about, they complain when they are asked to use it for things they fear will make their life worse (like programmers that think they will have to pick up the pieces of vibe coding later on).
> As a group, teenagers and young adults hate AI
I wonder what is their definition of AI. I haven't seen a single young person saying "I don't use chatgpt (or the like) because I hate AI". If else plenty of student have become dependent on it.

Anecdotally, I've observed a robust correlation between the cost/quality of the model, and attitude towards it.
Most of the general public, young folks, and old folks (ie outside gen z, millennials, and some X) are using free models, usually what's immediately available (cough copilot cough), have really unreliable results, hear all the hype, experience dissonance, and chalk it up to just hype, and walk away thinking AI is a crock of junk.
The Z/Y/G cohort - the ones that grew up alongside the growth of the internet - seem to be the best adopters. They recognize a system which is powerful, albeit flaky, and know how to extract utility from it without over-reliance. Especially ones with paid flat-rate subscriptions.
The power users - the ones using API/paid (by usage) models, tricking out their claude with plugins, seem to have the least amount of hate, but rather a healthy respect for a powerful disruptor.
I also don't buy the whole "the young'ns have never dealt with barriers of entry to the internet and thus lack the tech skills the millennials developed." I think the internet cohort that adopted tech was always split between the powerusers/curious learners, and the "just get my goal accomplished and get out" folks. I think that's roughly the same percentage of folks in Z/alpha, and these kids are just as savvy and aware of limitations of the tech.
Those who won’t were doing it for the money. Those who continue are those who do it for passion, or those whose recipe is just a way to attract people to their business (e.g. kitchenware company). I don’t think it is necessarily bad, the quantity will decrease but the quality may even improve
I built a passion reference site. A large part of that passion came from knowing and talking to the people I was helping. One person emailing or saying thanks would later help power me through to create more useful articles. Enriching openai/claude/ms/google and no thanks from an individual, has disincentivized me from writing more.
Same here. People knew the website and it was immensely flattering to meet users in the wild. It motivated me to really sweat the small stuff, because people noticed. Now I'm just feeding the slop machine, and it feels pointless.

Mods here are getting ridiculous- who is the mod that removed my comment for just saying literally the opposite opinion of the original commenter? Why would my comment come down but not the OPs??
> Any ordering is an algorithm technically, so yes just "banning algorithm" doesn't wor
Algorithm in this context (and presumably in any proposed legal text) is about personalization and purpose.
No one worries about presenting content based on total popularity, coarse geography. user's browser language, or anything like that, regardless of whether the actual ranking algorithm (in the CS sense) is an algorithm. Yes it's a terrible name for what's being discussed, but let's not lose focus on the purpose because of that.
AFAIK volumes are nothing more than a bind mount on a private docker folder, e.g. the files for volume my-volume are stored in /var/lib/docker/volumes/my-volume/_data, so backup strategies (an problems) for bind mounts apply also to volumes
Yep, that is accurate. There is also a command/API route to find the path on disk iirc.
In my setups it just was easier to use fixed paths (or relative to project dir) from a permissions management perspective. Backup tools did not always have to/should run as root which is helpful on machines providing multiple distinct services.
Putting borg or a similar tool in a container that is part of the compose manifest file can also help. I haven't seen this used in practice though yet.
> the obsession that certain elements of the English right have with the English flag is at a completely different level.
You may want to check the obsession that people on the left have with the Palestinian flag. Any situation is good to show it off even when it has nothing to do with Palestine.
Not OP, but I have been using borg backup [1] against Hetzner Storage Box [2]
Borg backup is a good tool in my opinion and has everything that I need (deduplication, compression, mountable snapshot.
Hetzner Storage Box is nothing fancy but good enough for a backup and is sensibly cheaper for the alternatives (I pay about 10 eur/month for 5TB of storage)
Before that I was using s3cmd [3] to backup on a S3 bucket.
When I pay money to buy food I don't need to ask how the shop is going to use that money: I gave money, I got food.
If I am going to donate money to a company/NGO that wants to buy food for poor people, of course I am interested in knowing how much of that money is going to salaries, how much into activities of sort, and how much in actually feeding people.
On the other hand most maps have loops and I would regularly get lost, unable to finish it...
