No engineer enjoys enshittification. Imagine making a commission. That's engineering. Now you make something beautiful and the guy you're working for says that's nice now change the font to comic sans and use more reductive cringe tropes, and change all the art to stick figures, and they'll sell the good art at a premium.
Feels like shit but you need to get paid so you do what's asked of you by the person that pays you.
That's what being an "enshittification engineer" feels like. It's the same team that made the good product being asked to make it worse or you're fired.
We don't need to close the loophole. We need to make it illegal for ANYONE to digitally stalk us and create digital data troves on us. They should be restricted to a narrow data gathering of what we give them for the purpose we give them the data for.
I don't want corporations collecting and selling data that I don't trust the government with.
A world where they still do that but the government "isn't allowed to buy it" isn't much better than what we have. Worse, it could enshrine their right to gather it.
I stopped crying at 8 (because I was told to man up) and I've cried probably a handful of times since then. I've been working pretty hard on it and the first time I sobbed as an adult was so freeing. I haven't gotten it back since, and I still get stuck in the stone face mode most of the time. I got pretty close watching "no other land" which was a devastating watch.
As a guy there is also a lot of shame and fear around crying. Especially around women. I'm scared of having my partner get the ick and not feel like I'm manly enough to be attractive and dominant anymore. I'd have an easier time crying around men because even if they don't think I'm very manly, that's not a big part of my social personality. At work of course it would be completely devastating...
I'm trying to make sure my kids all feel comfortable crying regardless of gender. Of course there is only so much you can do against social norms.
My guy is seriously claiming people come to Coachella for "quiet enjoyment"
Those loud uncultured Arabs simply don't understand that in North America everyone is quiet during outdoor concerts, pausing only for a respectful golf clap between songs!
The UK already has laws that cover all the crimes you described. We don't need to add a label of "terrorist" which takes every crime and scales the sentence an order of magnitude. Especially when it's added secretly and the jury doesn't even know what they're finding them guilty of. Especially when they're not even allowed to describe the reason for their actions to the jury.
Not to mention they could have set up the trap for ANY of his personas and it would have worked the same. Creating fake crime just to put people in jail.
It's insane that he pretended to be terrorists of Islamist, feminist, white supremacist, and Zionist origins, but the only one any government cared about in any way was the Islamist terrorists persona. It's also insane that he was convicted of being an Islamist terrorist when it's clear that he wasn't an Islamist because they knew about all the personas.
Didn't you hear? Dick says that's all a myth, a ruse by the government to get more taxes.... to do evil things like build roads schools and hospitals! This video is propaganda!
Yeah, not understanding math and statistics makes propaganda so easy! I've seen so many people invest their savings into things that were mathematically or physically impossible from the get go. Gambling too!
So your ideal school has no physical activity, no culture, and is filled with memorization of things that don't matter. Wow sounds like you've spent at least 15 seconds thinking about this. Thanks for sharing!
Legalization/decriminalization is great, I have nothing against that. I just have a hard time seeing how drug enhanced competitions don't turn into people dying for our entertainment.
I mean that's been mostly true in the last couple years.... AI slop or neo fascism.... Sometimes both :(
