It is for me in Europe

Divide et impera

Which may be the end goal, use this as a wedge to convince their base that revoking citizenship may be justified in some cases.

In Dutch there is a saying which translates to “a donkey doesn’t hit themselves on the same stone twice”, i.e. they don’t make the same mistake twice. I guess the dems should start looking for a different mascot.

Even if Tesla itself doesn’t do that, it’s something to be concerned about in case a vulnerability is found that allows remote access to the camera’s (or worse any local video recordings that may exist).

You’re not implying they are racist or partisan, are you? /s

If you ask the supreme court, probably not.

Yes, collective punishment, i.e. trump gets elected.

The problem with using the filibuster is that it only works when you know the other side doesn’t have 67% in the senate. With both the democratic and republican parties being in the pocket of AIPAC, I suspect they could easily get the votes to break Bernie’s filibuster.

To combat this I think drivers, firmware, etc. should be acknowledged as being in the same category as spare parts, manuals, repair tools, etc. They are equally as vital to being able to repair your device, and therefore should be open sourced at the latest when a manufacturer pulls support. Of course I would prefer them to be open sourced immediately, but with how software IP works currently that seems like a pipe dream, especially for devices with very complex drivers, like GPU’s.

Ah yes, the old “Communism is when no food” non-argument.

But they do it stochastically, so you only have a suspicion watching gives you fewer ads, but aren’t 100% sure

IMO this should be the case for everything developed using public money, looking at you, pharmaceutical companies…

Even if it’s just playing back videos, it still should compensate for the distortion of the spherical display. That’s a “simple” 3d transformation, but with the amount of pixels, coordinating between the GPUs and some redundancy, it doesn’t seem like an excessive amount of computing power. The whole thing is still an impressive excess though…

Who do you think the profit of increasing the price tag goes to? The workers in the factory to help them deal with inflation, or the rich shareholders?

It is bias laundering though. They hide behind an “objective” algorithm, which was trained on a huge dataset of past biased hiring decisions.

And they force you to use it if you want autosave, which is essential in a work environment given the stability of MS Office programs (or at least my ability to crash Excel).

Friendly FYI: Brave is based on Chromium, so under the hood it uses the same browser engine as Chrome. I can’t recommend switching to Firefox enough, not only because it’s a good and fully featured browser, but also because its existence is vital to keeping Google’s power in check.
