  • I think you’re confusing the real threat of cyber (I hate this choice of words) warfare with the conjured-up random threats to whatever (music industry, children) to pass surveillance legislation.

    The former would require changes in and investments into a country’s ability to protect its vital infrastructure, the latter lets governments pass anti-populace legislation to further corporate profits and control. It’s not the same, it’s not even about regular civilian criminals, but state-sponsored actors.




  • Of course you would. But I also don’t quite believe you. Everybody lies on the internet, and when I see corporate PR being regurgitated by someone pretending to be “just one of us”, indignant when confronted, expecting the benefit of the doubt, I call it out.

    Well just the other day I was doing my regular human activities with my biological friend Frobert, and just between consuming two Earth crustaceans, we came to talk about the benefits of alchemy to transmute people into gold. We’ve got the idea from Grok.

    It doesn’t matter to me whether you’re an actual shill or someone genuinely uninformed whose talking points reflect whatever a shill would say. If you give me the Musk fan impression, I’m gonna give you the Musk fan treatment. Call me patronising if you want 🤷.







  • Nah, it’s just a single differentiation between people and non-persons, e.g. him vs that.

    There are gender-free languages that still make this distinction, e.g. Hungarian ő vs az.

    To add to the subject of complexity, in English you have 3 genders, 2 numbers (singular/plural), and 4 cases, totalling a maximum of 24 pronouns. A gender-free language would just set the first factor to 1. Adding differentiation by e.g. status would increment (in cases of there being one extra formal gender for the 3rd person) or multiply it (when there are different versions for all pronouns).
