...of your abusive business model, where you make shit films, charge too much for them, trick people into going with clever advertising, and then get laws passed that criminalize format-shifting because you're so afraid that a tiny bit of revenue will slip through your greedy fingers. Even Hollywood accounting can't win in a free market. Man, that really sucks. Your life is so hard.

He should cry more.

Get a clue Your computer and your phone also have microphones, and transmit WAY more traffic that could hide spying.

Damn. I'm such an idiot. I wish I had said something like: "yeah cell phones and your laptop have mics and cameras too.." Thanks for making that really insightful observation that I never would have considered. Though when I last checked, my laptop doesn't have a 7-microphone omnidirectional array either and isn't designed and positioned for maximum surveillance of my residence.... And yeah... that bit you said about "transmitting WAY more traffic that could hide spying" is completely logical and makes total sense. The echo, which streams music, podcasts, and basically everything else a computer does... it's totally different and you could never "hide spying" in there.

As for your *extremely* sophisticated technical analysis, let's begin with...

Amazon Echo does not have enough on board computing to do voice recognition of anything except the trigger word,

Right-- understanding the trigger word uses way fewer resources than all the other words.. that are processed.... by the hardware. That makes sense. But no matter-- the DM3725 features an ARM A8 core... definitely too shitty to do anything.... aside from power OMAP3 devices.. and no one could ever use those to record audio. Oh wait, damn. Of course, if I were actually concerned about the technical limitations of a specific Echo model... well, you still don't have a point. But I was speaking more to concerns about the general idea of putting an always-on microphone in your house. Not that you seem capable of understanding the difference.

I really want to address the rest of what you said, but when re-reading it, it's just so dumb I can't. As your argument essentially boils down to "Echos are for inarticulate, naive idiots" well, I guess that's as close as you'll get to a point. But, getting back to my original concerns, I'm not sure we're in disagreement then.

When that logo garbage is just right...

This reminds me of something similar.

I literally have no idea what you're trying to say.

http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/i...

Why have states at all if you want to argue to centralization of everything? Why have state governors, state legislators, mayors, locally elected police chiefs?

You ask for logic but you've not demonstrated that you understand the pros and cons of a federated system with limited autonomy. Given your obvious ignorance of a basic concept of US civics and your obvious arrogance... I am hesitant to waste my time with someone that is likely to not listen. Typically people that have retained that kind of arrogance and ignorance in the same skull are not especially reasonable. Just my experience.

Do you want to try again or did I figure you out off the bat?

When you take away my toys, I install a new government and execute the old one.

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

"But I need Windows for..." *SMACK!* NO! You don't!

LOL! You should typeset it. The Gimp works really well, although most popular Live distros have it by default.

But I still like this one for anime fans and this one for dog lovers . :-)

It seems to me we are heading to a future where there will be very locked down systems for general use, and open systems that will allow user hacking (such as Linux). Perhaps that is not so bad.

Except that you're missing the socio-political angle.

Sadly, 90% of users won't care, and will continue on without the slightest awareness that control of their computers is being stolen from them. As long as NetFlix and their pr0n still works, they won't care.

Once a certain point is crossed, open-access systems will be painted as the outlier -- the "suspicious" system that could be running anything, including viruses from TERRERISTZ!!!1!! "These rogue systems need to be brought under control!" will scream the digital demagogues (all fully funded and coached by Microsoft). And just like that, Linux, FreeBSD, and every other Open Source system will be extinguished either by fiat, or under the asphyxiating blubber of regulation -- think DMCA, but without the pretense of Fair Use exceptions.

So, no. This is nothing to be sanguine about. You need to start helping your friends to migrate away from Windows. Microsoft needs to lose money and market share over this.

"But I need Windows for..." *SMACK!* NO! You don't!

Human drivers don't have morally-derived rulesets that "cover even rare situations." Human drivers are barely capable of obeying traffic lights.

Text or Video?

/sarcastic Oblg: Why not both?

How many videos on YouTube have you seem where someone rambles on for 5 minutes with uh, *sniff*, uh, *sniff* before getting to the fucking point which could be summarized in a few lines of text that takes 30 seconds to read?

Text is _extremely_ efficient and compact for S:N -- video usually isn't unless you have a GOOD speaker. Considering that you can say a lot with 140 bytes that requires 100x more bandwidth with video, text isn't going away anytime soon.

People need to stop falling for the Fallacy of Duality: That choice B is "magically" better then choice A. Together they are great when properly used. The advantage of one is the disadvantage of the other, and vice versa. It is akin to arguing if time or space is better. WTF? Communication is multi-paradigm.

All I could think of while reading this screed was "Old Man Yells at Cloud". Really, your pareidolia is just reaching crazy levels. It's like you're staring that picture which resembles either a vase or two faces in profile, and frothing with yourself about which one to believe in. Relax, take a step back, and you'll realize it's just a picture you can walk away from. Do your work and make your money and leave politics to other people. You've never mentioned any real repercussions to any of the "errors" you've committed.

I rather like real privacy, and not the imaginary privacy of a row of urinals.

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind one way or another standing next to this at the trough.

Anita Sarkeesian started a kickstarter and got paid over a hundred thousand dollars for a series she not only has massively failed to deliver in years but which she was repeatedly caught plagiarizing material to make, to say nothing of her near constant and universal dishonesty which ranges from significant misrepresentation to total fabrication. She happened to draw the ire of trolls, which she highlighted through selective moderation, while conveniently ignoring the far greater amount of reasonable criticism... which she also termed "harassment".

Zoe Quinn is a perjurious domestic abuser responsible for a vicious lynch mob against a community of high suicide risk individuals based off of a pack of lies, attacked a feminist game jam because she wanted the money for herself, and was proven to have been given significant preferential treatment and publicity. If feminism was anything but a hypocritical hate movement then she'd be universally DESPISED by feminists for being the deplorable abuser she is, not held up as some kind of heroic martyr. The "there is no review" meme is just a semantics game, moving the goalposts from "publicity" to "review", to hide the very real favoritism she was shown:

Grayson did provide positive coverage for Zoe Quinn. He did not review her game but he still gave her positive coverage. They deny being in a sexual relationship at this point but, really? Not even considering the fact that they could just be lying, they were still good friends by this point. Still unethical.

Arnott did not give her an award. This was due to confusion on her Greenlight mentioning the Indiecade under ‘awards’. What is unethical was Quinn, while in a sexual relationship with Arnott, was given a preferential place in the Night Games convention. This was effectively free publicity. Because of the guy she was sleeping with.

Additionally, both Grayson and Arnott, two people who were in a sexual relationship with Quinn, were colluding with Quinn to push a singular narrative about the Pepsi Game Jam. This was extremely unethical.

Additionally, Zoe slept with her boss, Boggs. That’s just unethical for obvious reasons.

Zoe Quinn Corruption Outside of 5Guys

Zoe Quinn accused Wizardchan of harassing her. Wizardchan immediately debunks this. Zoe Quinn lied about harassment. Proof is found here: In all five parts, it's a long read.

Zoe Quinn spoke out against The Fine Young Capitalists in their promotion of women in video game development. Proof is found here: Two Parts.

A bunch of bullies did pick on a lot of people. And dox them. And get several fired. And mail people knives, syringes, and dead animals. And make several credible bomb threats forcing the police to evacuate the area.

The thing is the bullies are the people you're defending. The abusers, the con artists, the pedophiles, the racists... you and all of feminism had the chance of a lifetime to actually stand up and prove that feminism really is about equality and fighting sexism, racism, and bigotry. Instead you all proved once and for all what feminism really is underneath the propoganda.

Here's how: http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/i...

Regardless of what you believe Ms. Wu experienced, do you truly not know any women in software or gaming who've experienced the kind of awful "boy's only club" attitudes and sometimes downright literal sexual harassment?

Yes. Game developer Kathy Sierra was run off the Internet by harassment from GNAA / Bantown, the group of Weev, Hepkitten, Randi Harper (Selkie), and Nigger Christ / BLCKMSSH / Teridax, who are twitter friends of Zoe Quinn and Brianna Wu. I wonder who could possibly be sending all that harassment to these two women right before they release their games, right when they would profit most from some gimmick to get attention from the media. It must be those other people over there who are talking about that hashtag that is no allowed to be spoken anymore

Progressives want you to smarten up. You want to do them physical harm. That's the difference between civilized people and people like you.

Here's what I think of when I think of "progressives". And this. These people would be more than happy to harm you if you don't "smarten up" and conform to their world view, so don't you dare think you have some sort of moral high ground to stand on.

See, as much as I love Occham, it's not at all necessary here. That post proves nothing even if it ISN'T shopped, and as far as I'm concerned it's irrelevant to ZQ.

Okay - how about a tweet where she boasts about harassing others? Nevermind her for now, what about the rest of the GG folk that were doxxed - here's a start.

Beyond that, you point out metacritic and mention 0/100 scores... but there's only one professional review on metacritic (50/100), and a user reviews on every other side. I'm SURE none of the scores could possibly be related to the gamer gate nonsense.

I'm sorry. The game just isn't any good as a game. This game wasn't greenlighted on steam on its first attempt. On it's second attempt ZQ then took to twitter after the doxing to ask other SJW (I was surprised to find out that that was actually a thing) folk to help get it through steam to show those virgins at wizardchan who harassed her (there's a tweet from her about that too). At that point the game, in its second attempt at greenlight on steam, was in its eighth day with almost non-existent support. After her tweet urging people to support it because of the harassment, it went through.

Sad to say, but that game would never have stood a chance on it's own merits (there's a popular ZQ tweet complaining about meritocracy in gaming :-)), it needed the publicity of "misogyny in gaming" (a thing which we have yet to see). It took the combined effort of a politically-aligned group of people to actually get it on steam. After that, users downloaded it and lambasted it to hell and back. Hence, the media blackout.

This just reaffirms that ZQ is irrelevant to the discussion, especially when it should logically be about NG.

Logically? Logically it should be about the media blackout which caused this whole thing to cascade. Hell, FCOL, wizardchan don't even have a gaming subgroup! The only reason this took off like it did was due to the en masse banning of people and threads who said that the "game" sucked. This sentiment was expressed before any reported harassment took place, btw. The reported harassment occurred only after it was evident that the game sucked.
