- Comment on Tennessee grandmother wrongly jailed for six months, latest victim of AI-driven misidentification — facial recognition is jailing the wrong people, but police keep using it anyway. 1 month ago:
Of course the cops keep using it - payments from the inevitable lawsuits don’t come out of their pockets, so why give a shit when there are quotas to make? No accountability breeds irresponsibility.
- Comment on 8 characters? How about we make it 16? 1 month ago:
Real men are far too hard to find, anyway. They’re mostly insecure AF children overcompensating for… things. It’s always the little things that fuck everything up.

So they can be any characters? Can they all be from the same show?
- Comment on They making fun of you yankee 1 month ago:
Thank you for the explanation because while Google translate does the job it’s intended to, it doesn’t help with context. I was confused at first because I thought religion was frowned upon (to put it politely) in China.
Yeah, the latter half of my life as an American has been frustrating AF

- Comment on Second school strike takes place in Germany: “The rich want war, the youth want a future” : Peoples Dispatch 1 month ago:
Wow, I’m so sorry to hear Germany has so quickly thrown away the lessons of it’s own not-so-distant history. I’m so glad the kids know better!
When I was a kid there decades ago, I was pretty damned clueless & yet I still came away feeling surprised at just how much it seemed they were drilling in the shame over their past into the kids in school. It felt a lot like visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to me. I wonder if they went too hard, and inadvertently caused some backlash.

You know they tube feed patients in comas, right? The patient presumably didn’t give consent, and yet I’m pretty sure that’s legal.

Yeah, sorry - NO. It’s basic threat assessment, nothing to do with ethics.
- Comment on Global economy must stop pandering to ‘frivolous desires of ultra-rich’, says UN expert 2 months ago:
This has been known for a long time, but nothing’s gonna change until they’ve totally wrecked everything of value. It’s the “if I can’t have it, nobody can” power trip.

Well, you’re obviously either not terribly well-grounded in reality considering how many times I was patient enough to answer what was effectively the same question, or more likely you’re a poor excuse for a troll. Either way, I’ve got better things to do than feed whatever your neurotic issue is, so I’ll be blocking you. Good luck with finding the mental health assistance you obviously are in need of.

Please point out where I got “mad.”

Wow, I’ve really got to spell it out for you, huh? Azure Linux will not be exempt - Microsoft will add the required routines to it, and if they are the only ones to do so, then they soak up the server market in CA.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 2 months ago:
If the only server OS legally capable of running in CA is Microsoft’s - be it Windows, or their particular spin of Linux - guess who’s gonna sop up all that government contact money?

And there’s nothing keeping them from adding it themselves for their own profit.

Can’t help thinking that “come” should have been spelled differently…

Hmm, wonder if Bluetooth (D)DoS attacks are a thing.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Turn off “debug” in the app settings to stop that & have it only report suspect devices instead of everything it sees.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Sorry - edited my comment as you were replying. It’s in the app’s settings menu.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
It’s supposed to ask for Bluetooth access at that point, did it?

I routinely destroy the so-called “logic & believability” of shows I watch by calling out all the flaws I see. Does that qualify?

The crossover that needs to happen! I don’t care if it’s an alternate universe one-off, because it’s bound to be fun AF (although I’ll gladly take more)!

There can be only one.
Saying myself with a reference to Highlander.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
TBF, subconscious feelings of guilt often come out in seemingly illogical ways such as this. Not saying that’s definitely what happened, but it’s a possibility not to be summarily dismissed, either.
