  If you can’t hold your excitement for more than 250 milliseconds - maybe snails are not a very good choice as a fascination target.

  I think they really meant it at the time - but needed Windows 11 in order to really shove AI down people’s throats.

  Shit, cats do that. Do they also pray to god?

  Yes, and even God can’t understand what is it that they want this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of theft, she had to prove her own innocence⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even when it’s repeat violent offenders - why would you want to prevent them from getting jobs? What do you think will happen if you release them from prison, once they finish serving their sentence, and they can’t get jobs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of theft, she had to prove her own innocence⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  She feared the impact a theft charge, though small, would have on her financial career.

  Wild that a false accusation, after being proven as false at the court of law, can still impact one’s career.

  What’s so special with four and a half billion years (or 13.8 billion years, if you measure from the big bang instead of the formation of the Solar system and Earth) that makes it so weird for us to “just happen to be” during that time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it “dumbass” (a single word) or is it “dumb/ass” (relation)?

  Does the ad money in this case go to the creators of the content displayed on these displays, or does it go to Amazon who also got money from selling these displays?

  Actually, James wouldn’t mind marrying her, but he has one condition she’s refusing to accept - he wants to be the one wearing the dress during the wedding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can probably get away with it if you write it in a confusing enough fashion; but you need to make it really confusing - to the point even CPU architecture experts could miss it unless they pay very close attention; and remember that the claims - which are the only part of the patent that has any legal meaning - may be limited by law to a single sentence each, but there is no limit on how cumbersome each sentence is; additionally, semicolons are not sentence terminators; this means that this entire comment I just wrote is technically a only one sentence.

  Not every power imbalance is automatically coercive.

  The problem is that power imbalances make it impossible to establish consent:

  • The underling has no guarantee that refusing will not result in retribution.
  • The superior has no way to know if the underling’s agreement is true consent or if it was out of fear of retribution.

  If you are American, you should buy Chinese tech because the Chinese government is more interested in spying on and controlling its own people than you.

  Funny - I assume on one here was actually involved in creating the law that requires identification when buying pornography (or alcohol. Or tobacco) at stores, but we are all considered responsible for it to the point we are hypocrite if we object a similar law?

  If someone says they are against that law now, years after it’s already established and spread, it won’t be taken as “I’m generally against the government limiting our freedom to consume what we want” but as “I want to push children to consume porn/alcohol/tobacco”. So no one argues against these laws. But it’s much more feasible to argue against the new laws - a ship that’s still in the port.

  30 years from now, when they make the law that neural implants must detect illegal thoughts in the users’ biological brains and block them, you’d make the argument that it’s not fundamentally different than blocking the same topics on the internet - a practice that, by that time, will already be accepted by the general populace.
