Ah hell. My only pair of sunglasses is a 5 year old pair of raybans.

I’d better not get “pervert glasses” shouted at me.

Yeah but the UK has been notably more censorious/orwellian since Brexit, so it’s a weak comparison.

(Not that they’ve got many strong comparisons on their side)

How long until they say “people are using E2E to get around this. We need to ban/include E2E now”?

“E2E is just for pedos” incoming.

What would happen if you ran them all?

Blown fuse or just all of them ran like crap/stuttery?

Why do you think they’re so interested in AI powered robot dogs?

Obviously they have their own weaknesses but it’s going to help prevent human-level coups.

Also psych AI to watch facial movements to check for disloyalty, (presumably at some point).

Honestly it seems like investigating it now would be wasteful.

it’s just harder to reinvestigate when the government won’t move heaven and earth to protect (and pardon) the perpetrators.

Better to wait for a less corrupt legal infrastructure in a few years (or even after midterms).

They’ll probably appeal and do bullshit to negotiate it down and defer the payment.

So, a consequence, but one absolutely built into the budget of the things they’re being fined for.

Edit: oh wait i misread. This is actually something they already appealed and negotiated down already. The original judgement was years ago.

So much effort?

Isn’t it the second most mass produced book in the world?

After a certain point, the automation makes making more of them effortless.

Also, it’s an attention economy. If you want me to read your self-help/alt-history book, you need to give me an actual reason.

It’s pretty metal to make the “most condemned” of all of them into the jailer.

This stuff always scares me because yeah today you’re using it to control the worst elements of the right.

But in a few years they’ll be using this as precedent to suppress leftists.

The UK has been making a habit of this for a while now.

Most people would probably be very happy with it.

Just not people who want something that looks like a ferrari.

Hungary?

No, but I’m really thirsty.

I usually go with

“Aha! That’s a trick question!”

And tap the side of my head. Like the meme guy.

God forbid we give consumers the ability to make informed decisions.

Fellas, is it woke to vote with your wallet?

Honestly I’d prefer to have a standardised size, but they’re the only eggs at our supermarket that have the maximum ethical standard rating on them.

The medium eggs I buy when these ones have a “shrink week” have a lower rating.

I suspect it’s more to do with supply line issues though, due to correlation with various events in the news.

At the moment where i am there’s some shrinkflation nonsense where sometimes they’ll lower the “average total” weight on the “mixed” size eggs but change nothing on the packaging (apart from the weight, on the bottom).

So I’m checking to see if I’ve got a pack of tiny eggs that just rattle around in the packaging.

But i do a rattle check first.

If I’ve got the tiny eggs i just buy a different brand instead (until they change it back)

Yeah the down side of Lemmy having an open API is that anyone at all can scrape it to train whatever they want.

I would advise doing as much as you can to not put real info about yourself on here (maybe even some fake info to poison it).

Hey, don’t be so pessimistic.

For sure it will be available for government agencies to subpoena or even outright purchase.

This is the free market. Everything about you is for sale.

I think it’s not intended for power users. It’s to bridge the gap between gaming PCs and Consoles.

This should in theory work “out the box” and be able to play often cheaper Steam titles.

It gets people out the walled gardens, which is nice.

Nestle cereals also show the “calcium content: g” inside a cartoon splash of milk.

Because you’re supplying that part yourself.
