This sounds a bit like spontaneous pathworking. Might be worth having a look into if you haven’t come across it before. It might help you better understand this and help you develop more intentionality and control.

Larry isn’t a young cat. Steps need to be taken to ensure continuity of government.

I’m not sure if this would strictly be a SLAPP rather than general litigious bullying (GLiB has a nice ring to it actually.)

In this respect though open sourcing it was a good move. Even if the creator were to be blocked from distributing, it’s out there.

The thing about legal threats is that they can work even if the theory they are based on isn’t any good. Fee-shifting isn’t always guaranteed, if it is available at all. Capital has already budgeted for its lawyers this year, have you?

My point is, for about the cost of an easy solution (that, frankly is a lot harder to undo if done wrong) you could equip them to do it right, practice the skill you want to inspire and not plant the false idea that soldering is some difficult thing that the beginner should avoid.

You can get conductive adhesives but it would probably be cheaper to just include a soldering iron in the kit… I’m not sure I would be confident in getting good contact with self adhesive metal tape, your best option there is to probably get a small amount and experiment.

Back in my day we were told that was how you got a virus.

Unironically? Maybe not. But using something ironically is still using it.

From my observations of them fear is the root of the ideology.

Fear, anger, hate, suffering. Yoda knew what he was talking about.

Finally, something even more disadvantaging than not having a bank account.

You can at least describe your previous work experience as ‘corporate cyborg with finger laser’.

Not sold after 2013 is overstating it a bit. The current equivalent is the Zebra WT6300, but you could probably build your own for less than 10% of the price.

It’s more the idea that everyone counts as people. The further right you go the smaller the group you assign full person status becomes. Liberals are OK with a bit of genocide and/or slavery as long as the victims are sufficiently poor, distant, and profitable.

A lot of it is follow the leader type bullshit. For companies in areas where AI is actually beneficial they have already been implementing it for years, quietly because it isn’t something new or exceptional. It is just the tool you use for solving certain problems.

Investors going to bubble though.

I’m personally hesitant to just give answers. The best way to learn is to look clearly and see what you can already tell. I think you are going down the wrong path if you simply read blood is red, therefore red is blood.

Consider both the artist and the subject. What did the artist see to compel this creation, why did the subject agree to make such a portrait public. What do you see aside from simply red?

This is why I like finest as percentage of turnover like what the GDPR does. Even the big shits pay attention of you are willing to make the fines actually significant.

Or we can just start nationalising businesses that break the law. No compensation for the leaches, just now the company serves the state. Lots of folk have no problem imprisoning and nationalising the labour of human criminals.

If we are going to suffer states we should at least make good use of them.

The persistent thing I get from right wing folk is that they can not, on a fundamental level get their head round the idea that some people think differently to them. They fear the loss of their power because they know what they do with it, and fear someone else having it. They say other people are triggered because of the unreasoning fury they respond to cognitive dissonance with. They are worried about people ‘making children gay’ because they will happily imprison and torture people until they present cis/hetero. They make women cover up because they know that any excuse to rape would be enough for them. They support the police because the threat of the police is the only thing keeping their neighbours safe from them. They are scared of the feds because they know what they have used the feds to do.

Don’t trust them. Especially when they think no one is watching.

If we lived in a socialist utopia we wouldn’t have to criticise landlords. Your arguement doesn’t even rise to the level of sophistry.

Depending on where you live (and therefore what legal protections you have) you can demand your details. In the UK this is the right of access and is exerted by making a subject access request (SAR).
