When the debate is lost slander becomes the tool of the loser

  1. Much information about a person is publicly available, that doesn't mean it's not doxxing when you gather it and broadcast it.

    Whether you are finding someone's email, or real name, or jet location, or home address, and then announce it, you are doxxing them.

  2. So you wouldn't mind your car being tracked and publicly broadcast?

    It is just an automobile after all, and vehicles aren't citizens...

    Cue fallback argument.

    EDIT: added clarification to distinguish between Tweeting coordinates and Onstar services.

  3. wait so you're saying doxing is on the same level as dissenting the government?

    one thing is broadcasting personal information about a citizen, one is protecting a citizens right to object to actions by their government.

    collecting public information is still doxxing. most doxxing involves only public information as it happens across the internet.

    edit: a downvote is not a rebuttal, sorry, try again.

  4. You realize that being pictured at a public event next to someone is different than flying to pedo island multiple times right?
  5. False. We were during and after Crimea.
  6. Or some people don't get worked up about a stalking jet account.

    Yes being able to dissent the government about laptops or lab leaks or not rely o the russians to launch satellites or shuttle us to the space station is important as well.

    Emotions and hyperboles when it fits here it seems. Reason comes second, if ever.

    Everyone is still just pissy here because their liberal bubble is burst on Twitter.

    I love Mastodon, now that it was accepted here the last month or so, why is everyone not on it yet?

  7. What about stalking??
  8. So you really think looking at a GPS and driving a car yourself and putting cruise control on makes a car self-driving?

    (hint: no, you are driving the car with assisted technology)

    I'll remember to cite this in the next Tesla thread when we discuss Autopilot and self-driving.

  9. A pre-planned route != self-driving (in my opinion).

    I say that because it's not driving itself, it's driving a route you plotted or recorded.

    You can't take that same tractor and have it work on your neighbors pasture as-is, it has to be programmed.

    But again, this is getting into a semantics debate. Personally I'd prefer to differentiate using autonomous and automated, self-driving is too ambiguous.

  10. The tractor is still driving on a pre-programmed GPS route.

    To avoid a semantics debate, I'll agree for a brief moment the AI is "driving" the tractor to avoid an object and get back on the pre-programmed route.

  11. I get your sentiment, but tractors generally drive based on GPS routes.

    AI and data collection is useful for more intricate tasks, like spraying weeds, planting seeds, etc.

  12. Yes I did. Two hospitals being fined nearly two years ago != enforcing all hospitals posting full price lists.

    You don't just "send a message" once, you fine hospitals not compliant, period. We do this for other regulations.

    So at this rate maybe in 2040 most hospitals will post their prices, maybe. If everyone feels like following / enforcing the law.

    Also, did you read the guidelines?

  13. Personally it looks more like a no-code tool as it doesn't really focus on the code aspect.

    An IDE should have the text in the forefront, enable all the things an IDE normally does, as well as have a preview mode where you can visually edit.

    A Dreamweaver for React.

    In their defense it looks like they expect you to focus on the text part in your normal editor.

    But at that point they should make this a VSCode extension or something.

    Having your source being modified from two programs is... silly.

  14. Won't work until the current administration enforces the law.

    Hospitals are defying it and not posting prices with no repercussions.

  15. You misunderstand. I'm saying if they didn't look at only the rural cells then there's not much point in using that to determine whether to award funding for providing rural broadband...

    Just because there's a lot of people in highly populated cells that drag down the speed for people in those cells has nothing to do with the speeds of the lowly populated cells.

    tldr; it makes no sense to average all cells together, as the goal is to improve the areas where existing infrastructure have failed in specific regions.

    (and in those areas, where hughesnet, or viasat, or old DSL were the few options, Starlink does it's best)

  16. Providing broadband to rural america, what this whole FCC broadband push has been about, concerns those cells where there aren't many people over a large spread of land, where towers and laying down lines doesn't make sense.

    So if you take a cell that has LA in it, it will be much more congested than if you took a cell in Wyoming, or Nebraska.

  17. Good for the FCC, but it's not very useful if the data is all from congested cities, I can't find where they list their sampling.

    Starlink shines when it comes to rural/remote environments, not cities where towers and fiber can reach.

    Side note, look at HughesNet and Viasat in their data, LOL!

    edit: instead of downvoting if someone could find the sampling method?

  18. Too busy speaking with Zelensky, Zuckerberg, Yellen, and friends.

  19. Brave has a built in adblocker for the user that is on by default.

    Brave also has a rewards program the user can opt-in to get scheduled text notifications on their system.

    I could see your point somewhat if their rewards system was opt-out or tied to whether the adblocker was on, but it's not.

  20. You are wrong, the built-in ad blocker does block first party ads in aggressive mode or if you manually add a rule.
