- Is this a troll post? It's taught in Constitutional Law 101 that shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre is, in fact, Constitutional.
The source of that quote was a war-time judge who used that analogy in his ruling in 1919 against people handing out anti-war flyers. A ruling that was overturned in 1969.
It was precedent for 50 years.
That precedent died 56 years ago. It's been dead for longer than it even existed.
- I'm annoyed at it replacing resolvconf. At reboot. At date. At logging. At cron. At ntpd. At network configuration scripts.
Some of these I'm sure make life easier for maintainers. Others just feel like change for the sake of change. Breaking workflows because someone wanted to design a better wheel.
- Not what I meant. Systemd has been replacing a bunch of commands too. Not just the init system.
- I just want a single tool that has a known, generalized set of capabilities on just about every distribution.
Systemd's obsession with remaking every single wheel in Linux has been aggravating enough. Please don't do it again.
- That "value" here lets them mislead policymakers.
- The second address is invalid. You can only use :: once per address.
Edit: Whoops. Didn't read what the above post was in response to. My bad.
- In your settings under how many nested menus under which deceptively named option?
And how many options do you need to toggle to actually opt out?
- Again: ???????
You people need to be forced to use your product in the exact form your product is presented to end users. With the exact frequency it's presented to end users. In all the wrong places as it is presented to end users.
Maybe then you'll understand why shoving AI in every conceivable crevice is incredibly obnoxious and distracting and, most importantly, not useful.

Why does the existance of an AI chat box website mean a browser must do more than take you to that website?
The forceful inclusion of LLMs in places that have no value are simultaneously ubiquitous and obnoxious.
- Being angry at the person playing interference for the TV manufacturers seems relevant in that regard.
- Its citizens don't share your enthusiasm.
- And how long is a "long time", Mr. "It's old and boring that TV manufacturers do this so there's no point in being angry or complaining"?
- What prevents one kid in a friend group or in a school from sharing the same identifier?
After all - if it doesn't share anything other than a guarantee of the "age" of someone who is authenticating with the website then how would the website know there's re-use of identifiers?
- The problem is that it isn't even good. It falls squarely in the realm of "we must do something. This is something. Therefore we must do it."
- Zero knowledge proof is either trivially defeated by re-using the same credentials or doesn't have useful privacy guarantees. There really isn't an in-between here for something like age verification.
- You are declaring your imagined logic as fact. Since I do not agree with the basis upon which you pin your argument on, there is no further point in discussion.
- You use unfalsifiable logic. And you seem to argue that, given the choice, CEOs would prefer not to maximize revenue in favor of... what, affection for an imaginary intern?
- "I want a chat bot that's just as reliable at Steve! Sure he doesn't get it right all the time and he cost us the Black+Decker contract, but he's so confident!"
You're right! This is exactly what an executive wants to base the future of their business off of!
- Do you honestly think an executive wanted a chat bot that confidently lies?
But yes, I'm aware of the Third Party doctrine ruled on by judges whose conception of people making phone calls involved an individual talking to another human being (a.k.a. an operator) to connect you to who you wanted to talk to.
A practice antiquated when the ruling was made and a bygone relic by this point.
