...that it's just New York City. Hopefully the idea will spread.

Laissez faire capitalism is great if everyone is honest. But in this reality there are a lot of incredibly dishonest people who will do anything for a buck. A modicum of base regulation is desirable to keep consumers from getting swindled at every turn. I applaud efforts like these.

"And that's before you consider that TikTok and Slashdot are not remotely similar in their impact on people. "

Quantify this. What is this "impact" on people, and how are you measuring it?

You can do that, right? Because if you can't you're just another moron talking about how video games and rock lyrics and D&D are corrupting the minds of our youth.

Another good reason to use third party software to disable all windows telemetry from first install.

I'm unclear on the exact mechanism for how the device ID was extracted by a website. Is this something available as a piece of data a site can request via edge?

Is this part of telemetry data sent back to microsoft if you leave all that enabled, at the windows level?

Use a privacy-safe brower with blocking plugins (ublock origin) and completely disable all telemetry to microsoft using O&OShutUp and WinHance to turn off every single reporting mechanism that goes back to Microsoft. And use the shell access on the first windows config screen to create a local account only. Do all of this before ever connecting the machine to the internet.

You are posting to a social media site which many of us started participating it when it started, when we were "children." Your bootlicking is pathetic.

I just did a clean install of 11 (all should work with 11 as well), did the shift+F10 command prompt on setup to create a local account only and used O&OShutUp10, WinHance before I ever connected the machine to the internet and disabled all telemetry and involuntary communication with M$'s servers. Those two pieces of software are really handy.

...and nothing of value was lost.

"What is the point of having a job, when you can not live from the wage?"

Sometimes it's to buy textbooks, or make extra money on the side, or to earn money during the summer so you can spend it during the rest of the year.

It's myopic to assume that all jobs are supposed to be full-time careers.

I just want to be clear about this: you believe the American middle class is smaller/worse-off than it was in the early 1900s?

Another person who needs to read Bastiat.

Do you think it would help the middle class to bring back the requirement for people to walk in front of cars waving a lantern?

You'll end up with the worst employee you've ever had. A narcissist who sounds completely compelling but is completely wrong, or just wrong enough that it sounds right, but the load calculation is off by a small factor, no one else catches it and the bridge fails under a certain condition, someone dies.

There's no intelligence when it's just mindlessly trying to slot the right word in the next position. I realize specialized AIs are starting to have some particular skills, but it still seems so untrustworthy that you still need intensive design reviews by senior engineers, assuming the AI engineer is an idiot and needs double checking at every turn.

"If I say "all white people should die"

That is 100% protected speech, full stop, and is absolutely your right to express in a free and open society.

"I've always been pro free speech, but"

You can always just stop posting after the 'but' because it means that you are not in fact pro-free speech.

It's also the duty of every country to warn their citizens against the spying activities of adversaries. You should both be spying AND protecting against the spying of others.

It's nice that they are making an official statement to drive the point home though.

LinkedIn is basically a platform for asset recruitment by foreign state intelligence services, job fraud scammers, and companies keeping job listings open that they're not actually hiring for to make them look better to investors.
