pseudalopex··on ‘You Are Done’: The letter sent to King by the F.B.I (2014)
Some Americans called left believe the right to firearms is for states not people. Some believe rights can have reasonable restrictions and a weapon and a ballot are different. Some quote Karl Marx who said Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered.

> I find it odd that so many liberal Americans can accept the idea that gender is a matter of identify, while race is a fixed biological characteristic.

Liberal Americans said race is arbitrary in my experience. And people who said gender identity should be respected believed it was fixed.

> I had to call so many people to find the office responsible for holding the canonical list of numbers which everyone was cloning. After talking with a few people there over multiple years, I finally got to someone that cared enough to remove me and not just hang up the phone.

Who was responsible?

pseudalopex··on Flock Wants a Closely Surveilled World with No Exit
A check point is a point where people or things are checked. It could be military or civilian. It could be permanent or temporary. It could be 1 person and a vehicle parked in a road. This would not be a military installation to most people. Or dictionaries. Or laws.

They did not say installation.
pseudalopex··on Mozilla says stricter antitrust measures against Google 'threaten Firefox'
> spends only a tiny fraction on its development

No. People imagined this for some reason.

pseudalopex··on Mozilla says stricter antitrust measures against Google 'threaten Firefox'
> HN is incredibly inconsistent and two-faced about which Mozilla side projects are "frivolous" and which ought to be defended to the death.

HN is not a person. People's opinions differ. This is not 2 faced.

> I'm saying you don't need to publish on Steam to make your app run on Steam.

The context was how to distribute software to Linux users. Not how Linux users could run Windows software.

pseudalopex··on License plate reader searches should require a warrant
The most private people I know would not ban all public recordings or to share all public recordings. They would ban with some exceptions to share recordings of people without their consent. Some would ban to keep recordings without consent. And they would not ban this if street photographers or so respected other people.

> But if this were law, so too goes the guy I saw in a park fire spinning,

He would have been there without you seemingly. Everyone who saw him there would have seen him. You meant your recording?

> so too goes the joy I captured on a strangers face at seeing a beautiful chandelier,

They would have seen the chandelier and felt joy without you seemingly. You meant your recording?

Did you ask to send them a copy? Did you ask to keep it? Did you ask to share it?

> and so too goes the countless photos of nature that happen to have people in the background.

A recording of a person and a recording of nature which happens to have people in the background are different. And some countries understood this when they made their laws.

pseudalopex··on It's time Amazon played by the same rules as everyone else [video]
The video identified injuries and accidents were problems and said Amazon claimed Amazon were exempt from liability. Not drivers were exempt from undefined somethings.

Notice of termination was the 1 bill section not connected clearly to a problem in the video. The Delivery worker record-keeping and safety obligations and Worker training sections were about injuries and accidents clearly. The Direct employment section would prevent to transfer liability to contractors.

> This is very obviously not the type of situation and behavior marginalia_nu and then I were commenting about.

marginalia_nu said all news.

pseudalopex··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
Your thoughts of this are black and white seemingly. People can doom scroll news and black pill circle jerk on social media. Or they can use them to learn things they can change and work with people to change them.

> I think this idea (and I necessarily don’t believe in it, but let’s give it a fair chance) is more like a few-weeks detox.

> Rather than giving up on news entirely, in the long-run, I’ve just dropped political podcasts and opinion pieces. I think these products exist to give us the feeling of being informed, but mostly it is just speculation.

The idea was this would teach something. And another idea was All the news is just outrage porn and non-stop predictions of impending doom. What could someone do for months or years? Cycle outrage porn and detox. Or avoid all news. But you saw news differed and you could control your news.

pseudalopex··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
> As an experiment, completely stop consuming news and social media for a few weeks.

The assumption I had not was false.

Yes.

No. And this shallow dismissal builds the mood you complained about.
