I asked if she regretted her vote for Trump after several people she knew lost their government contracting jobs, and she said "No, fuck that guy, I didn't vote for him."

Edit: So I decided to go and play it on an online archive site. It's just as fun as I remember.

But I get cheaper DoorDash orders, so that's good enough for me.

It'd be like a chat time machine. I'd love to go back and bullshit with long-lost online friends about modding Halo:CE on Xbox again.

But it's great for people like me, because I'm much less likely to be added to a family group text.

We're rapidly stumbling into the future of media.

Who would've imagined a year ago that trivial AI image generation would not only be this advanced, but also this pervasive in the mainstream.

And now video is already this good. We'll have full audio/video clips within a month.

I don't know how dense they are, but they're pretty heavy.

If you identify a problem, the person responsible will (usually) know you're talking about them, and may even appreciate that you're not calling them out in front of the team.

If necessary, you can always reach out to them one-on-one afterwards.

Good approach: Specify that complaints be non-specific to a person on the team.

My philosophy has always been: Pay for things if you are able, it's convenient, and pricing is fair. And if piracy is easier than paying, piracy always wins.

It's the reason I buy all my video games now and rarely pirate music anymore, but half of my TV and movies come through my seedbox.

Assuming ducks stop the bullets.

And assuming it's not just one immortal duck flying around super fast.

The YubiKey Nano is really small. I'm sure a skilled piercer could find a way to get it under your skin.

Maybe a lawyer?

The government? Tech companies? ISPs?

All are in some ways restricting certain freedoms, while enabling others.

And what freedoms are you afraid of being taken that have not already been taken in some form?

I'm absolutely not disagreeing with you. I support full and absolute internet freedom. I have the ability to put absolutely anything I want on the internet with zero restrictions, but depending on what it is and how I put it there, there are many ways it may then cause me to lose freedom in some way.

Which one should lead to war?

If there is a force actively working towards this as a goal, do you not think that force should be actively opposed?

To restrict that freedom would be a direct restriction of freedom of speech.

Of course, this is just one case. But it at least shows they're not opposed to defending those they may otherwise disagree with.
