TheNastyPatty··on US Military disables ad trackers on troops' phones
How much nuance is there really to explore in that topic if even longtime ICE agents are themselves decrying the current state of the agency, and rightfully blaming the current administration for opening the floodgates to any redneck who can read a job application

TheNastyPatty··on Debian votes to allow "responsible use of generative AI"
What is “disconnected from reality” about environmental considerations regarding AI? Growing AI usage = growing data center power draw = higher emissions from any non-renewable sources contributing to that power, as well as increased freshwater consumption which is itself a considerably difficult resource to renew. That’s about as direct of a causal link between point A (power hungry AI being used for Debian development) and point B (the environment) as you can get. On the other hand, please explain what the hell veganism has to do with Debian development? Like what are you talking about.
