What about the contract you sign when joining say the military? You certainly don’t have right to freedom of speech anymore.

Naming a device like this and bringing it onto a plane is actually what’s mental. People are tired of this reactionary content already and it needs to end. People need to remember what a CIVILIZED society is.

And if the person has been traumatized by “dick pics” in the past and seeing one causes further distress, then what?

why are you defending unsolicited nude images so hard and who gave you the right to speak for everybody?

So you’re scared of losing AWS? What about the ability to have global IP space? That’s still firmly in US control.

For some reason I cannot grasp Canadians think the US citizens think about them at all. We may as well not have a northern neighbor, all that most of us think exist between Michigan and Alaska is snowy wilderness.

US states follow US federal law for much of the same reason, because the federal government will withhold funds. We do not use our military to force states to comply with federal law. There’s an entire court system to handle governors who ignore federal law.

“Threat of violence”…lmao

I think your parent didn’t word this correctly.

This is commonplace. So commonplace that most have worked “checking the LLM” into their workflow so deeply that essentially all that’s done is prompt followed by a mini code review.

To suggest a senior engineer blindly accepts modifications without code review kinda hints at you not using LLMs to realize how quickly it will make a mess of things if you don’t hold it’s hand.

why would you trust a physical location who typically wouldn’t have a robust architecture or any opsec but not trust an online first business that likely has opsec and monitoring?

California and a slew of other states deemed it necessary to step in and take over for parents with transgender kids didn’t they? even threatening to take a child from their parents should they refuse gender dysphoria treatments.

it seems to me the left already opened this can of worms.

Then the point was to send a message, which brings it back to being biased. I’m not a fan of Alex Jones but I am a fan of people making their own decisions about what content they consume. This sets a dangerous precedent that fundamentally stifles free speech. I wonder how long it will take Republicans to pull this on Democrats, which means this tit-for-tat back and forth will never end.

why don’t they do this with the rest of the internet? there’s plenty of properties worse than infowars. like say 4chan.

I firmly believe it’s a disinformation campaign run by Russia to make a potential invasion easier, and anybody peddling “gun control” is really just a useful idiot.

I wouldn’t call a ban on assault weapons reasonable when you can get the same “scary black rifle” in different trim and they have no issue with it.

Interestingly the ATF themselves have no issue with homemade firearms so long as you register a serial number

You’re still giving the EV more range than it would have. You’re not supposed to drop below 20% or charge above 80% so following that an EV with 300 miles total range would only have 180 while in a gas car you can comfortably nearly empty the tank without issue.

There seems to be a large issue with Tahoe styling, it seems fine to me. This article seems like someone has nothing else to focus on. If you don’t like the styling, switch OS?
