Please get your ableist nonsense out of here <3

They can make it so much harder to do that, to the point where almost everyone just gives up.

If you’re upset that your hacked-to-bits, rooted, unlocked and/or unencrypted device is failing checks: I’d say, tough luck. Until we can create provably untampered app-containers, that level of access genuinely breaks TOS on apps and regulations on handling personal data.

Hard disagree. If you own the device, you should be in full control of what’s going on. Sure, attestation can give some extra security, but that decision should be up to the user. Everything else is just excuses for user hostile DRM: platforms levaraging technology to secure their own profit margin against the interests of user.

That’s not very nice

Writing the same content as an email takes me like 10x the time. Especially if it’s something complicated and people might have follow-up questions so it takes up room in the back of your mind. Much easier to just get out of the way in a 5 minute conversation.

Anything to do with emotions or interpersonal relations is also very prone to misinterpretation when put as text.

Train ticket enforcement must not exist. Make it free, like Luxembourg. Saves a lot of administrative costs, turnstiles, queues and police interactions.

The person who created git clearly cannot be trusted to write good kernel code. I’m CC’ing Konstantin to disable his account, whoever he is.

I get that and I think I would do the same. But you have to realize that a loved one asking you this question is clearly not trying to trick you. Rather, you could see it as them giving you an opportunity to show how lovely you are. It’s the setup for a joke and you can make them smile.

My ex told me they would build me the most beautiful worm house and then go on a quest to track down the wizard who cursed me. I thought that was beautiful.

You’re right of course. Habeas corpus alone isn’t enough to stop all of this, particularly against an administration that is blatantly undermining the courts.

Habeas corpus doesn’t prevent illegal imprisonment, it’s only a procedure to (eventually) free people after the fact. That procedure is still in place, it just takes a lot of time. Habeas corpus was used successfully to free Rümeysa Öztürk (detained for writing an op-ed). But many others are still detained because the process is slow and the DOJ is deliberately obstructing everything.

There’s a company that unironically calls itself “Mendix”.

Websites do not have access to your IMEI. That’s only a concern when you use the app.

My body is an autonomous collective. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical biological ceremony.

Err does anyone on the right actually think we have secure borders?

Yes, Trump and his administration keep saying this.

Sorry I cannot decipher this post.

Nerve gas also doesn’t have morals. It just kills people in a horrible way. Does that mean that we shouldn’t study their effects or debate whether they should be used?

At least when you drop a bomb there is no doubt about your intent to kill. But if you use a chatbot to defraud consumers, you have plausible deniability.

That was only my first point. In my second and third point I explained why education is not going to solve this problem. That’s like poisoning their candy and then educating them about it.

I’ll add to say that these AI applications only work because people trust their output. If everyone saw them for the cheap party tricks that they are, they wouldn’t be used in the first place.
