       @clive @AnneTheWriter1 When used appropriately and responsibly, it’s great, but since humans have the tendency to push everything to its limit, in the wrong hands it can be a dangerous weapon. Unfortunately, most of the e-bikes I see are ridden by teenage boys who seem to enjoy terrorizing people. I also see e-mountainbikes ridden by people who have no concern for people around them, other bikers and walkers. Mostly selfish people. I like the idea, and hope my experience isn’t the norm.

       @clive @AnneTheWriter1 These aren’t “inexperienced” e-Mountainbikers. Sadly, just selfish people who want to go fast.

       @gerrymcgovern @bovaz The whole point of these chat bots is to make it harder to bother a real human. They hope that you’ll just get frustrated and go away when you find that asking for help is more of a problem than the one you’re trying to resolve. Personally, I have never had a useful or successful experience with one, other than the few times that it is set up to escalate to a human. #techgarbage #enshittification

       @Nonilex If you haven’t already, now is a good time to put a #freeze on your credit record.

       @stux Yikes. I know that I live under a rock, but I had no idea that 3D Printing had devolved to this point. Bah.

       @stux When has “tech” slowed down to “get it right”? Can probably count the times on one hand. I totally agree with you, though. While I’m very anti-ai in the general sense, I can see that the technology could be very useful, if used sparingly. Need to balance to potential good with the very real harm.
