  • Utilitarianism as a philosophy is basically the acknowledgement that life is messy and trying to come up with universal rules of behaviour for all scenarios is basically impossible. So they essentially went “fuck it” and came up with a philosophy that revels in the fact that it has no regard for nuance or situational contingencies.

    Anybody who actually lived like that would be a monumental pain in the arse.






  • This article is so stupid rmdir isn’t some magical military grade file eraser. It literally just flags the disc space as available, that’s it. Claiming these files are unrecoverable is like claiming that you have snapped someone out of existence, when you just delete them from your contacts.

    The user in question was using AI to delete files, it probably took them longer to ask the AI to do it than it would have done for them to have just gone into the final browser and deleted them themselves, so they probably don’t know how to use data recovery software, that’s all.

    I also find it intriguing that rather than using the AI’s advice and stop using the drive so they don’t overwrite data they decided that the best course of action would be to make a YouTube video about it. Which is probably a massive file and is probably overwritten previously recoverable data.

    What a pillock.

    I think the arguement is that the cameras are only there because people are running red lights. Don’t you want to catch people who habitually run red lights, and therefore represent a danger to the public? If you’re not the sort of person who runs the red lights then the cameras are irrelevant to you.
