I'll make it short-ish:

- I'll say goodbye for now. You've given me pause and not because I buy into the fake politeness because I think that's BS (If you may grant me that expletive). - I think bringing 11 year old stuff (2014) without actually even putting the comment shows bad faith and an imbalance of power which tells me all I need to know not to engage further. You win. Point proven. You have power. I don't. Go pretend your world is fair and equitable but, if you have a lot of free time, do analyze how much you stopped calls for denying healthcare and putting people on camps the same way you stop someone telling others to parent their kids instead of removing their freedoms.

Au revoir and thanks for all the fish.

It's ridiculous, usually fake and hide the biases of those who nurtured them to believe whatever they believe, even if it's by pure imitation.

So you're absolutely right to call BS.

- Remove people who didn't obey the house imprisonment rules during covid from society.

- Removing their jobs and ability to make a living

- Stealing their money

- Denying their ability to healthcare for any procedure

- Be put in camps permanently until they "complied" because "their body, our choice".

Once you factor that type of attack where no human rights nor Nuremberg trial result was respected, the faux civility and non bias rings absolutely hollow.

I'll try to attack their points with more faux civility like you want because staying silent is what got us there, but sometimes it may come up as more raw, since it's very easy to repeat state euphemisms to destroy people's lives but it's harder to counter permeated propaganda.

Edit: Reading my post again, it's absolutely on point. Hard to regret that. How would you write it?

We're way past fake politeness when the discourse is always pro war, pro xenophobia for certain acceptable targets (e.g. Russia), pro disparaging certain alleged ideologies/parties (e.g. US republican).

2020-2021 happened and there's been no apology. Till then, the biased moderation rings hollow.

Disgusting intrusiveness and authoritianism.

You want nanny states and nanny corps and authoritianism through and through (remember covid policies?), you'll get this more and more.

You either start rolling back all that BS in the name of freedom (no, not freedumbs) or you can't really complain.

Anthropomorphizing cars doesn't make them humans either.

Conveying information through images is all about making something understood, not about graph completeness.

False. Next.

Good remappings/config would also significantly alter your experience.

In the example, why would you even move with single chars and not words or to the end of line? I think it's definitely a poor example because the point of the diagram/investigation is not clearly described.

Otherwise it's a slippery slope of "well but it's generally good"

Some people will absolutely just run something, let the AI work like a wizard and push it in hopes of getting an "open source contribution".

They need to understand due diligence and reduce the overhead of maintainers so that maintainers don't review things before it's really needed.

It's a hard balance to strike, because you do want to make it easy on new contributors, but this is a great conversation to have.

But I get your larger point.

It's a corporate lobbyst push and UK/Australia are just the canaries in the coalmine.

You won't escape it by being "they didn't quite come for me yet".

Of course it's useful to have people like you make it about fake left v right tribalism so you don't realize how far from a democracy these parliamentary systems are.

The hype outpaces the actual value in many cases and that's why we get the shit we get.

A good example are YouTube's unavoidable auto translations. No one bilingual user wants that. It would be extremely easy to make it optional but it won't boost the numbers of the BS metric being pushed internally.

The parliamentary countries like Australia just have made it so that they forever encroach in civil liberties and hide it all in bureocracy and pretend things work as intended and that democracy is working but when it was covid time they utterly crashed dissent. Same with most cases of effective opposition to power. The first in line to try and control the internet, speech and more from its citizens who don't even notice it that much because it's so ingrained in the culture of self censorship.

Having said that, yes, the pardon powers are ridiculous and they're being used more and more in ridiculous ways like this one from trump or the "pardon for everything just in case, for future and past" from Biden.
