It’s always advertisers getting frisky.

1984 supposes it’s coming from big government and social structures. Seems like a lot of people just aren’t watching what big corporations are doing cause it’s getting at least just as creepy…

Oh come on. Extremists gonna extreme. Some will try to make a bunch of words offensive, the others will keep fighting for their right to use these words. The vast majority of the rest of people will just keep living their lives and just use whatever’s the most appropriate word at a given time with the language evolving. It used not to be considered really offensive to insult people with gay slurs when I was in high school. Languages evolve with their times, and that’s perfectly fine.

Sadly those kids were turned into confused apologists before they could decide if they wanted to or not

This. Having worked on some in-house anti-cheat solutions myself, it absolutely is just offsetting the processing and security cost to the players. The attack vector of having such a rootkit running on so many devices is just not even close to be worth the trade off of catching marginally (if really measurably at all?) more cheaters.

On one hand, it kind of needs to happen. Our economy as a whole is overleveraged on housing. On the other hand… A large proportion of our MPs are either landlords or reported housing related income, too, so why would they want things to change?

I’m in the unfortunate situation that I can’t possibly wait it out, for accessibility reasons. I’m utterly pissed off at the idea that I’m probably throwing way my life savings at a card castle that’s waiting to crumble. It’s just completely fucked up.

Eh, from what I could gather from both specs ATProto does address some shortcomings of ActivityPub, so the idea has some technical merit. While a lot of the current Fediverse seems to have settled on AP, it’s not like it’s the be-all and end-all of federated protocols either.

Maybe you’re just talking about the company behind it?

I’d rather have them on Bluesky/AT than Threads, to be perfectly honest…

Many of our MPs are landlords themselves, which may influence how... reactive they are to the issue https://www.landlordmps.ca/data-analysis

Our economy is over-reliant on housing as an investment in general, so getting people to do anything about it is hard to begin with https://www.oecd.org/housing/policy-toolkit/country-snapshots/housing-policy-canada.pdf

It's not looking good. We're in so deep already. A lot of people will lose their homes either way.

That’s fine. Most people aren’t “Windows pros” either.

CUPS picks up my TR7020 just fine. It’s still an inkjet piece of garbage, but it works fine lol
