Gonna quit weed. Cold turkey. If I don’t have control over my consumption now, I think that’s a sign I need to stop until I do have that ability again, if ever.

Obviously, don’t upload any photos to the demo site that you wouldn’t want shared. That’s pretty basic internet 101. The point is to demonstrate the amount and types of information Google infers from its users’ data. So feed it a pic you don’t care about, or try with the supplied images.

Best part? The description supplied here is probably a limited version of all the information that Google infers from each of your photographs. It would make sense to ask for a short 3 paragraph summary of key observations to fit within API limits. On Google’s end? No reason for such limits to exist. So they infer even more from your data than this website can show. And they run this kind of compute on everything you give them.

They “claim” that they don’t sell or share this data. Do you trust them?

You might say you have nothing to hide, but you also don’t get to control the shifting definitions of what’s acceptable. Today you’re fine. Tomorrow you’re labeled a political dissident because of the evidence of Wrongthink that Google happily supplied to the government without your knowledge. Especially in light of the incoming administration, this is an important discussion to have.

Here is a list of FOSS Google Photos alternatives. Immich looks particularly good to me.

1. Hasan streams

2. Somebody thinks yeah medicare for all

It’s the same argument:

2. Oprah fumbles Kamala thru a question
3. Beyonce performs

7. Democrats win.

Actually laughed out loud at this, well done. You’re an excellent writer. This encapsulates the 24 election so perfectly 😭

Your comment was great, until the last part. That’s terrible advice. DO mess with things you don’t understand, until you understand them!

I’m basically forced to, daily, thanks for your suggestion tho

His uncle is the owner and founder of TYT Media, and he got his start in media at… TYT. He comes from an immensely wealthy and politically connected family. He has chosen to live in Hollywood, an epicenter of capitalism at its worst.

And thanks for your edit, I think I agree that my perception of him is charged by emotion, but in addition to fact.

Thank you for a nuanced reply. When you put it this way, I can see why many listeners find value in his content. I worked another shift today with him constantly droning in the background and I think my opinion is largely being colored by his presentation style, and my own distaste for “streamers” and “react culture” in general, with his aforementioned privilege issues now coming in third.

His comments about people working “real” jobs having an easier time of it than he does certainly rubbed me the wrong way, though, and his response when called out on it was more of the exact same “BROOO WHAT ARE YOU STUPID? THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT! OK!?” that his streams are full of.

“One of” the only ones, not “the” only one. The difference is exactly what I stated, the respondant clearly understood my question. Would you like me to edit each of my other replies, to acknowledge the ones who also understood my question, for consistency’s sake? I should probably then reply to each of the ones who didn’t understand my question, to make sure and point it out, right? Otherwise I’m being very dismissive?

I’ve been learning from this discussion, so I’m not sure why you think I’m incapable of seeing my biases.

Here’s a question: Is it cool to hoard wealth if you’re saying leftist-sounding stuff while you do it?

That’s a new one, I’ve never been accused of being a bot for having an unpopular viewpoint before! You’re just full of surprises, aren’t you?

Thanks for your contribution to the discussion, very insightful.

Thanks for your response. Yes, it must be a personality thing, combined with a generational difference. Can you see how it comes across as disingenuous as a member of the working class to be spoken down to by a millionaire streamer? Similarly to how some LGBT allyship advocacy from cishet people comes across as blissfully unaware of the actual struggles of LGBT people.

Thank you for an intelligent response! I will read up on the links you shared.

Thank you for being one of the only commenters to understand my question.

No, lmfao. But it’s clear from the overall response that the assumption is that I must be some kind of rightwing troll, just because I’m sick of the guy. Leftist =/= Hasan fan.

Shame that seriously asking is so hard to distinguish from trolling at this point. For the record, I am a leftist, working a shitty physical job, who has to listen to this guy all day because of my coworkers. I am literally the archetype of the struggling worker class. I don’t need him or any other millionaire to tell me about the working class.

You right

No. It’s a “tired of the dropping standards” thing where I’m dissatisfied with the fact that the biggest voice of our political movement is a loud condescending nepo baby who sits in his bedroom playing video games, watching youtube, and reading Reddit posts for a living, and can’t realistically claim to have any idea about the lives of the oppressed classes he claims to champion.

Maybe I’m just an old fart annoyed by the loudmouthed sarcastic child of immense privilege preaching about things he’ll never understand. As long as he’s saying what the people want to hear, I guess. A new leftist Rush Limbaugh for 2024, great. I’m on the left and I’m just exhausted. IDK.
