In order to comply with the specific Californian law. It’s referenced in the PR. If you could read (to quote your meme) you’d be very upset.

In some form… Sure. 7 billion humans can die and the species can still survive.

Hate to say it but systemd, the init system of most Linux distros, already has PRs with maintainer backing to implement DoB recording.

Some people can’t kneel fast enough.

We’ll be expecting you to put in safeguards against this happening again. At the very least presidential powers need to be limited back to their constitutional level, reversing the creep of the post war presidents.

Good point

Default sort with most down votes at the top, and let people down vote.

What?! It got one wire right. That’s enough, right?

Oh. It’s more dangerous than a gun then!

I don’t know how much he has liquid. The article says that “most” of his 814B is tied up in Tesla stock. Selling a couple of billion worth of stock isn’t trivial.

So it’s on the same scale as buying a gun in the states.

I didn’t realise it was so dangerous.

And I could respect that, but the last hundred years has been about oil, and that’s a shit reason.

Well… Except he didn’t did he. Defence department spending has a bunch of black holes to funnel money into.

He could have paid you $40B for that advice and still be better off.

That’s a very good question. How do you spend $80billion?

Zuckerberg makes Brewster look like an amateur.

Unless you’re randomising it constantly, it still becomes part of a fingerprint for you.

Signs your business model has truly failed.

That is outrunning the bear, isn’t it. Outrunning the other guy is being the guy that makes 10 other jobs redundant by running the LLM.

Not that I think that works.

Ain’t that the tragedy!

A large part of the disagreement was never a tech debate. Systemd on a purely technical level had advantages, but the arguments were always about a concentration of functionality into a single critical program. Great while things are going well. Hell when it falls apart. That fear wasn’t totally based in technical reasoning.

There was a British charity, The Spastic Society. They became fairly high profile in the early 80s being involved in children’s magazine shows for fund raising. Often children with conditions would be featured. The intent was that featuring them would make the condition more relatable, but kids saw them more freaks to be mocked.

It resulted in “spastic” / “spaz” becoming school playground taunts to the extent that the charity changed it’s name to avoid the term.
