  • there are ALPR cameras everywhere, and it's very hard to imagine John Q. Public is going to have a hot tip before our dystopian AI panopticon does.

    I'm not sure whether you're for the seeming proliferation of camera surveillance - you say "everywhere" - or against it.

    I'd normally consider the stress level of a surveiled population as a tangent, here.

  • everyone could have their own soft that,

    So where are they?

    I'm not sure we're in a good position to question people's laziness when "software" is too long for us to write out completely.

  • Really? It happens this often?

    In 26 years, I've seen this happen in two occasions with enterprise Linux. One of them was my own damned fault for using a marginal config. The other was an update that added a new dependency in the code but not the package.

    That's it. Twice.

  • there's a voice, that keeps on calling me

    Mainly because it's a homing signal for Canadians.

  • You were SO close.

  • Go [in] early, [bring] a fish covered in blue cheese dressing[,] and hide it in the ceiling [of] [your] [boss's] office.

    Nice.

    For years I'd threatened: "the only way you'll know I've quit is an empty desk and a fish in the microwave." Whenever some idiot nuked a fish for lunch, everyone would drift past my desk and confirm I'm still employed.

    When I did quit, my only statement was an animated gif of a fish slowly turning in a microwave. I was already headed for the airport.

  • That's the American way

  • I'm sure it's flawless. \s

  • Wonderfully succinct. Thank you for caring about strangers representing themselves best and better.

  • it sounds like "the freedom to work in one's best environment" is the ideal policy.

  • The screaming, right? Or is it the pleading?

  • Yeah. They're suffering, but Render Unto Caesar.

  • If I want to choose freedom over "security", I should have the option to do so.

    You can, but it's a careful sequence of steps.

    1. Discard, replace, and forever avoid anything apple. You controlling your device is really not their deal.
    2. Graphene on ... something
    3. This step intentionally left blank
  • I don't get it.

  • we restrict speech all the time, the usual example being yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.

    Is "we criminalize making people panic and stampede to exits where the crush of people is deadly, so let's criminalize this speech too" your argument as well as being a false equivalence?

  • it does rather beg the question

    Nope. It just raises the question.

  • ... right? (Amidala meme)

  • emails

  • I'm with ya. And, during any other administration and environment this should be a non-issue and not worthy of column inches. I do like that we have to reach this far to get a new 'first' achievement, for instance, showing that yesteryear's achievement is this year's baseline. It shows we've come a short way and we could keep going.

    But in this admin, it's worthwhile to (constantly) restate the position wins and achievements of some people; not because they're special, but because the bigots claims these achievers are less-than and unworthy of common decency.

    And I'm completely okay with thumbing our nose in their bigot faces, every damned time.
