An argument could be made that exposing someone to images on Instagram might be harmful, so just to be sure, remove them all. Better get rid of the text as well. That should make more room for the ads.

They're what? Made of pictures? Get rid of them, too!
My son was escorted to the office, by an armed SRO, for writing "Columbine" and showing it to a friend. Then he got to spend hours talking to the SRO, other LEOs, guidance, and the principals.
I get not wanting to miss warning signs, but is this too far?
No. Commedia dell'arte is a slippery slope. Just ask Michael Moorcock.
I observe that the compromised apps are all of the variety that apply cute stickers to selfies. I wonder what sort of porn those users are being targeted with? Perhaps deepfakes of themselves.
I can currently take 0.4 seconds of slo motion video because the memory it uses is too slow and fills up too quickly. In addition to that, I can only take so many hd photos and videos because there isn't enough storage to keep more (unless I have removeable microsds).
(gently)Then perhaps you need a video camera, and not a phone.
Maybe for an encore they can design some videogame AI companions who don't stand out in the open and get themselves shot like fucking idiots.
But you don't want an AI companion in a game who's better than you.
"A good robot learns to read his owner's mind a little, to anticipate little wishes before they become commands. Naturally there's a limit. Too much anticipation scares people just as too much grinning and bowing does. Moderation is the key. Aim to be a smidgen less intelligent than your owner, but a lot more thoughtful. See everything as it affects your owner, and in no other way."
How about tweeting "Learn to write"? I swear, if I see another blog entry masquerading as "journalism" that starts with "HAY GUESS WAT?", I will punch someone, not an easy task for an habitual loner.
If it's just "good micro", why can't humans use "good micro" to beat the AI, if we're so great?
The AI in Bullfrog's "Dungeon Keeper" used to drop a bunch of enemies in your territory and then immediately pick them up again, giving you no time to attack them. You had to keep on them in case it did let them go, but it was incredibly annoying, and only narrowly within the rules. The human player couldn't grab, say, thirty monsters at once, drop them and grab them again.
I see a need. Different alerts for vegans, sociopaths, violent alcoholics, people with eleven twitter or facebook accounts, people who post to 4chan's/pol/ forum, PETA members, religious fundamentalists of any stripe, emacs users, vi users.. the hard part would be coming up with different audio alerts for each one.
Slashdot Mirror
Well.. I often see posts on /b/, presumably by redditors, touting various reddit threads, but I've never seen anyone advertising 4chan on reddit.
Will not be cut jam. Jam is need for tea.
What about this is a good idea again? I mean, I am practically speechless here.
I imagine it's easier than trying to get Quake running under Dosbox.
Why couldn't he get his head on Mt Rushmore? It could be a view of the back of his head. That'd be a lot easier to carve.

Fuck's sake. Not a millimeter?
It's not a difficult unit to use. Ants. Chocolate sprinkles. Mouse cables.
I'm waiting for the ability to apply a style to a sentence, and not have that style applied to the entire paragraph.
Anyone else getting a kind of Photobucket vibe from this?
How are we even supposed to read slashdot when the poorly coded advertising banner covers 75% of the screen?
Ublock origin.
And anyway, how does the AI know what shredded wheat tastes like? Maybe it tastes like chicken.
"Outright lying" may be true, but it's a little harsh. The preferred term is "reality distortion field".
Gonna beat them all, switching to 6G and IP7!
(Places sticker on back of phone) There. That'll show 'em. It also blocks harmful radiation.

You have to pay extra for that.

For some reason dumb people now carry smart phones everywhere they go no matter what and you can't remove the battery.
Three words:
Ball. Peen. Hammer.
They are directly âoeattackingâ kids too.
âoeattackingâ

No they don't...how old are you?

(pleading) at least tell me you know what the inverted pyramid lead is!
I would tentatively suggest that a 3.5mm jack that does not need to be charged is always going to be superior to a bluetooth dongle that does.
And Facebook. And Pinterest.
Tweeting "Learn to code" is harassment.

And we, the working people, are indirectly paying for their 'lifestyle' as taxes only seem to go up.
Okay, I'll bite. How much of the taxes you pay, as an American, go to supporting Japanese Hikikkomori?
Feel free to Google it for yourselves!
Googling will only show me answers from several billion dumb-asses, o queen of the swords.

Or someone who, according to their phone's accelerometer, is currently in the process of committing suicide. The alert is the Wilhelm Scream.
