The difference is the part immediately after you stopped quoting:

They don't understand how horrible the loss of privacy is...

What OP is saying here is that people know abstractly that smart devices are not privacy friendly, but they don't understand how big a deal that actually can be.

Yeah I bet there's a bunch of cool stuff out there. Might even be more interesting than the Dark Web.

I mean, math really is just language. That's why people argue over PEMDAS vs BODMAS and we have all those memes about "what's the right answer to this arithmetic calculation?"

It just so happens that the math language we use is sufficiently refined to very closely reflect how things work in non-conceptual space (ie the Real World), often so much so that we can use it to get a new protective on that non-conceptual space and get insights about it that we didn't have before.

Math and language are really both just symbols we use to describe the Real World; they're basically the same thing.

FYI, what you're talking about is the Dark Web; the Deep Web is different. "Deep Web" refers to places on the regular Internet that are not indexed by Google and the other major search engines; you don't need Tor to get to them.

Or even if it's some exotic toxic hardwood like purpleheart.

Need some context here: is this what we removed, something that's already somewhere else, a proposed replacement, or something else?

Oh interesting; I wonder if the quiz just chooses a random assortment of a big list of tools?

[–] boatswain 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh. That's not clear at all; I don't even remember seeing a reference to a tool.

Seems like a weird and random assortment of items. Why was Google Hangouts mentioned, but not Gmail? What about Discord, Slack, etc? Or smart TVs? Almost felt more like guerrilla advertising for a few niche products.
