I’m the neighborhood FOSS guy and I can feel my influence leeching into the area. Hopefully.

Took me a second on that one. Today’s more of a “get drunk and be rowdy” holiday where I’m at so everything on the Internet being a joke was a touch slow on the uptake.

They didn’t include government surveillance in that. I don’t doubt for a second the Chinese government’s willingness to regulate hotel door locks and whatnot. Better question is how much resources go into enforcement (zero isn’t a terrible bet) and how quickly businesses respond to the new regulations (I honestly don’t know China in that respect but I could see an American hotel in the same situation waiting until somebody proverbially twisted their arm on the issue).

That’s a fantastic move but it also goes under “worst guy you know makes a great point”.

I feel complicated about AI porn in general, but I’m not even all that offended about somebody with down syndrome having an onlyfans, provided they have the cognitive function to understand those actions, and I certainly have met individuals with down syndrome who do.

That… Is certainly a way to combine words together.

Was going to say, very much seems like the opposite of a generational problem. Seems more like everything we’d vaguely define as ‘the tech industry’ has become big enough that it’s workforce now includes the individuals who wouldn’t have been considered competent 10 years ago.
