TLDR: privacy law won’t pass because it would limit the government’s right to buy “commercially available data” on anyone without a warrant

This includes location data collected from cell phones that are capable in many cases of tracking people’s physical whereabouts almost constantly. The data is purportedly gathered for advertising purposes…

A government that actually cares about privacy wouldn’t be debating ‘should we be able to buy that data’, it would be asking the real question ‘why the fuck is it legal to collect and sell that data?’

Even if we pretend that data will only ever be used for ads, it’s still not fucking OK for advertisers to stalk everyone everywhere 24/7 (and every use other than ad stuff is probably worse)

True, I didn’t mean it as an insult to OP, just pointing out the ol’ tradition of posting very popular things on the forum for unpopular opinions

Unpopular opinion: obvious stuff that 99% of the people here will agree with.

I was disgusted by the XML at first, but it’s a readable query returning a sane JSON object.

Meanwhile, I’m mantaining Java code where the SQL is a perfectly square wall of text, and some insane mofo decided the way to read the resulting list of Object[] 🤮 is getting each column by index… so I’d switch to SQXMLL in a heartbeat.

It’s a huge luxury to be able to make money off something you love, even more to just be able to do what you love without worrying about money.

That’s the point of step 2: inspect ass

If you find or smell poopoo obviously don’t proceed to brlbrlelebrbrbr (or do if you’re into that shit who the fuck am I to judge)

On one hand, yeah I wish I wouldn’t have to hear about that piece of garbage ever again, but the mugshot is an exception because this little bit of justice feels like getting a nice bottle of cold water after being lost in a desert for years.

The US government being useless against megacorps is not a bug, it’s a feature

So relatable

Your way of thinking makes sense but you’re interpreting it wrong.

If you can round up and say “0,9_ = 1” , then why can’t you round down and repeat until “0 = 1”? The thing is, there’s no rounding up, the 0,0…1 that you’re adding is infinitely small (inexistent).

It looks a lot less unintuitive if you use fractions:

1/3 = 0.3_

0.3_ * 3 = 0.9_

0.9_ = 3/3 = 1

How about a screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot of a meme about screenshots?
