There are already case studies that demonstrate governments can do exactly what the GP lawyer claimed could happen. You’re not treading any new and untested ground here.

> you can very easily test if someone has a bullet through their head. Well, assuming someone didn't go and steal their brain. Do you have access to their head? How do you know tha…

Broadcasters absolutely have a responsibility to ensure they communicate truthful statements in exactly the same way that any other profession has a responsibility to ensure their …

You point is easily debunked by the fact that all those late night talk shows (Stephen Colbert, Jon Oliver, Jon Stewart, Seth and so on) haven’t changed a thing in US politics. Moc…

> Given my comments were in the top ten highest voted of the day, it encourages me that a -lot- of people think this law is dumb and ideally some subset of them will fight it with …

Not really no. Some things can be proven while some cannot. The colour of grass is something that’s scientifically measurable. My point is that some broadcasters are very strict ab…

“Never” is a little dramatic. Sticking a TV show on from a streaming platform and watching it as family is still less effort than going to the cinema.

You don’t actually know JFK was shot from your own personal experience. You just choose to believe what credible source claim. And even if you were there, who’s to say that your fa…

If the facts can differ then they’re not facts. What you’re then dealing with is propaganda.

Opinion and preference are the same thing. And thus personalised search results, choice of shows in the streaming era, and so on, are just a result of that personal bias.

The thing is, people I’m friends and thus likeminded, we watch the same shows and still have those kinds of conversations. And people I wasn’t likeminded with never used to watch t…

What even is a “shared reality”? For example my mum and I could watch the exact same movie and showing at the cinema and still come away with a completely different opinion of it. …

Wow. Just “wow”.

How is an LF two tokens? Or were you referring to the Unicode symbol? I took their example to mean an actual LF ASCII character but now Ive read your comment, maybe I was being too…

I really think we’ve missed a trick using JSON instead of SExpressions as the default marshaller for AI tool use.

We get their intentions. We just disagree with the effectiveness of it. Posting rhetoric on an anonymous message board is not making a stand. If and when they’re doxxed by US media…

> A right to unlock would mean that you get full access to your own hardware. That very much depends on the wording of such a law. My point is that you can guarantee that console m…

Even when the PS3 supported Linux, Sony didn’t give OtherOS full access to the GPU. So I doubt you’d get any benefit running Steam on a hypothetical Linux-powered PS5.

People don’t disagree with your moral position. The problem is you’re bringing a butter knife to a drone fight. There are more effective ways protest this law than posting punk-rhe…

I’m not a lawyer and even I know that argument would never hold up given the plethora of other laws that have been implemented through software. Not to mention copyright and patent…

> yes, "fun" is subjective, and your points about Objective C and Pascal were actually mentioned directly in the footnotes, including the "false start" nomenclature I didn’t get as…

Maybe you shouldn’t open with such provocative statements if you are already aware they’re not fair? Posting flamebate and expecting people to read until the footnotes isn’t going …

I tried to read this with an open mind but the premise of the article is so reductive I gave up quickly. There’s a whole plethora of reasons a language might fall in or out of favo…
