I try to respond to every genuine engagement. I block trolls, contrarians, and provocateurs because life is too short.
No, entirely incorrect. “bad thing can happen, so it will happen” is essentially a mangling of Murphy’s Law.
In a slippery slope argument, a course of action is rejected [eg: this minor law] because the slippery slope advocate believes it will lead to a chain reaction resulting in an undesirable end or ends [eg: loose claims of a pot getting hotter implying further details will be demanded next].
Now this use of AI, I like.
I agree, it’s completely unacceptable.
Hard to take China’s complaint seriously though when they do the same thing with regularity.
I like the ‘Enshittocene Era’ also.

- OSes have to have a field to collect this data from users when they set up their login, so it can be sent to app stores via API.
Its just a standardized system that should have been done ages ago, but was not a priority for standards orgs, so none stepped up - so legislation appeared.
I strongly argue that it should only apply to commercial OSes and app stores though - as they’re the ones that primarily cause issues these laws intent to address.
Linux and FOSS have been caught in the crossfire in a privacy and personal data battle they were not involved in.
Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.
Yep. I get stuck in analysis paralysis too. Like the price of GPUs in particular it’s been hard to time a ‘good time to buy’ a major upgrade in the last decade because there’s being something driving price cycles artificially multiple time and for extended periods.
What may be a bigger factor is that the body language of someone feeling uncomfortable is noticed and reciprocated empathetically by someone who empathises with you, automatically.
Genuine question - I don’t actually know how to signal allyship without looking like I’m pandering or being weird. I dress pretty professional/plainly on transit and figure a trans pin would be of place because I don’t have any other backpack decorations. Are there subtle things you guys and girls have seen that sends a positive message in a subtle way?
