> we both know "no-recording" airsoft events are extremely unlikely to exist Let's assume it's true. What does it mean? That pretending to ruthlessly murder people while not being recorded is a niche kink and society doesn't owe this guy any special accomodations. Thanks to the internet, which publishing prowess he abhors, I'm sure, this guy will still be able to find group of fellow degenerates so he can have fun wi…

One more thing. You don't affect current social sensibilities with a blog post. Society is a function of technology. Want privacy? Nothing short of inventing some privacy tech will get you that. I think for airsoft a facemask and pseudonym will do so you don't even need to invent anything, just apply it.

> You don't affect current social sensibilities with a blog post

Do you think they hoped their blog post would have the force of law? I think the many conversations started on the front page of HN were probably more than sufficient impact. You _really_ don't need to be so defensive of the status quo.

Uhhh, yeah. Instead of crippling society by suggesting we remove our eyeballs or brains (or their electronic equivalents), let's fix the actual problems.

Your use of the "playing stupid" cudgel is not helpful. Instead of accusing others of playing dumb, let's hear: how do _you_ see an internet age free of patriarchal and sexist structures emerging?

The people making them consider suicide are the people snapping creepy shots of them and posting it online. This isnt rocket science guys, why are we all acting stupid.

> That's a very temporary solution since in a very near future everybody will have their pictures taken all the time and not necessarily in the wavelengths that stop at clothing for one simple reason, technology exists.

What? No.

You can't hand wave away absolutionism. You can't just say "well thing X will definitely happen!"

That's not an argument, that's a belief. You've just told me your religion. Not an argument.

There's absolutely zero fucking reason why we need cameras everywhere taking naked pictures of people. That isn't just inevitable - you literally just made that up.

This "slow March towards tech gods" thing I see pisses me off beyond belief.

Because people act like it's an argument or a style of logic. No. Its a religion. You're a scientologist. You don't need me, or hackernews, you need a fucking therapist.

I mean, do you even hear yourself? You're saying we should be allowed to take as many pictures of nude women and girls as we want because you believe, some day, some Angelic tech will appear that will be omnipotent.

Dude, you sound insane. Like legitimately insane.

Also, the whole "well technology exists!!1" mindset is just so obviously fucking wrong and stupid.

You know what other technology exists right now? Today? Guns.

Does that mean I can shoot you in the face? Well the technology exists! Making murder illegal is a temporary solution! The real solution is teleporting to an alternate reality where evil does not exist!

Come on.

BUT it has no meaning in the society, does it?

I think this is a key difference between US and Europe.

It seems like you believe that if the government passed a law then it will have meaning in society? It's still as meaningless as if you just wore one today.

Its not meant to be helpful, it's meant to be true. Sorry about it.

> Uhhh, yeah. Instead of crippling society by suggesting we remove our eyeballs or brains (or their electronic equivalents), let's fix the actual problems.

Ahh see here's the underlying problem: you have a religious belief that you're quickly trying to pass off as an argument!

You cannot, under any circumstances, just compare humans to computers for free.

Humans have special rights, and have always had special rights, forever. You cannot just undo millions of years of understanding and expect me to go along with it.

A camera DOES NOT HAVE RIGHTS. A camera is not an eyeball. And LLM is not a brain. And so on and so on.

Some LLM singularly type folk, call them tech Christians, hold the belief that technology will soon supercede humanity and therefore LLMs are equivalent to Brains.

But that is a belief. Let me repeat that. That is a belief. That is not argument.

Right now, computer programs do not have rights. Its not an if, not a but, not a maybe - they don't have rights.

We're allowed to do this because we are human. We give ourselves special privileges.

That's why if I eat a good steak then that's just a nice dinner. But if I chop you up and eat you, I'm going to prison.

We haven't even given fucking cows rights yet. And they're literally alive and conscious. We can't just give cameras or programs rights. Come on man.

> Instead of accusing others of playing dumb, let's hear: how do _you_ see an internet age free of patriarchal and sexist structures emerging?

Slowly, over time, and predominantly not by objectifying women by proposing we should be allowed to take naked pictures of them whenever we want. Duh.

This is a very reasonable, thoughtful answer. array_key_first is a gaslighter and not worth your time.

Right? Somehow we've let corporations (which arent even a real life thing! They are just groups of people!) be entitled to huge swaths of our lives. You want to use my image for your marketing because you don't want to pay models? Gtfo of here! What an insane thing to do to customers.

It's almost like eroding privacy is a shared goal of corporations and government, and that both are fine with endlessly tormenting and selling out their customers/those they represent. It's as if they are the common person's adversaries rather and aren't helping or providing a service as they claim.

I wonder how much of the government sponsored erosion of privacy is driven by the over empowered private sector still.

Do Englishmen frequently refer to “Blighty” in ordinary conversation? I refer to my homeland as “The States” out of courtesy to those from Canada, UK, Australia, but I had to rack my brains, and Wikipedia, about “Blighty” because it seems archaic, stilted, and arcane in a tech forum. I’ve heard England called a lot of things by its citizens, but I was under the impression that “Ol’ Blighty” died out with Queen Victor…

> Do Englishmen frequently refer to “Blighty” in ordinary conversation? At least online, yes.

I suppose if they are comfortable with confusing foreigners with this lingo.

In all my years on the Internet and written forums, as well as watching British TV for 50 years, there has been no notable usage of “Blighty” that caught my attention.

If I had been aware of the usage, (other than archaic slang) I would’ve learned it sooner. But it’s notable that this Anglophile hadn’t been bothered until the Year of Our Lord and Reign of His Majesty Charles III, 2025.
