<p>>For devices that are incapable of user access control, the same rules as a knife, chainsaw or gun apply.<p>Well said. Parental controls are really nothing more than parents are root and kids are mere users. We shouldn't let the state or corporations be the parents, nor is it necessary.<p>Age verification by governments or corporations isn't a substitute for parenting. And with parenting age verification by governments or corporations isn't necessary.<p>They're doing this for some other reason than protecting kids, as usual.</p>

<p>It's an elaborate ruse to condition Americans to the 4th amendment not being a real thing. The PATRIOT ACT which created the TSA was written by Joe Biden after the Oklahoma City bombing and passed after being reintroduced following 9/11 to end-run around the 4th amendment.</p>

<p>Since you're pretending to be a lawyer and losing an argument I'll highlight the part that answers the question:<p>>"shall not be infringed" and "shall not be violated" do not leave loopholes. It's quite clear.</p>

<p>"shall not be violated" leaves no loopholes. Just like the second amendment:<p>>A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.<p>"shall not be infringed" and "shall not be violated" do not leave loopholes. It's quite clear.</p>

<p>TSA's searches without a warrant are illegal.<p>The fourth amendment:<p>>The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.<p>And no, you cannot convince me that searching families flying to see grandma for Christmas is a "reasonable search".</p>

<p>Love this. My resume has been in LaTeX for over 20 years now.<p>Underappreciated IMHO. You can version control it, no dealing with wild Word shenanigans. Totally deterministic. Just find a style, insert your bullets and you have a nice sharable PDF.<p>Nowadays you can even have your preferred LLM do the conversion for you. LaTeX is finicky and I've had it fix warnings in mine that I couldn't be bothered to.<p>Good stuff, highly recommend a LaTeX resume, whether or not you drink coffee.</p>

<p>If you're not using it where it's useful to you, then I still wouldn't say you're getting left behind, but you're making your job harder than it has to be. Anecdotally I've found it useful mostly for writing unit tests and sometimes debugging (can be as effective as a rubber duck).<p>It's like the 2025 version not not using an IDE.<p>It's a powerful tool. You still need to know when to and when not to use it.</p>

<p>The dry sarcastic humor of the author made it very obvious to me that this was satire. I have a very similar sense of humor, at least partly. And I'm a native American English speaker.<p>Giveaways:<p>>I logged in to my JetStreamers Diamond Altitude account and started clicking.<p>Satire! It's not called that, but it's a similar marketing wankery version.<p>>This clickable rascal would allow me to access the entire internet through my airmiles account. This would be slow. It would be unbelievably stupid. But it would work.<p>"It would be unbelievably stupid but I'm going to do it anyway!"<p>>Several co-workers were asking me to review their PRs because my feedback was “two weeks late” and “blocking a critical deployment.” But my ideas are important too so I put on my headphones and smashed on some focus tunes.<p>Even this was a sarcastic/satirical leadup.<p>>I’d forgotten to charge my headphones so Limp Bizkit started playing out of my laptop speakers. Fortunately no one else on the plane seemed to mind so we all rocked out together.<p>Limp Bizkit is a very famous (or infamous) band that gets notoroiusly mocked. The odds of even a single person rocking out with that playing out of laptop speakers is tiny. Two people? Everyone on the plane? 0.0% chance.<p>I don't know why I put so much effort into explaining this.</p>
