Remember when everyone had their own forums and websites and just decided for themselves what was appropriate? Ah, good times.

Now everything has to be advertiser safe and is subject to politicized "fact checks" which have only harmed the truth.

Kinda funny. This site used to be shat up by random neo-nazi commentary, but now the dumb trolls are pallette swapped antifa-fas. I kinda preferred the swatikas tbh, at least those people didn't think they were making a sophisticated argument.

True the threat came from inside the house instead, with his own daughter willingly pressuring him, being a radical herself.

I've actually run my face through Clearview. What came up was Flickr pictures posted by others and a sense of violation.

What I want to know is what the tech journalists are apparently too dumb to ask: do pictures sent to Clearview as queries get absorbed as part of the training data too?

The reason it's a fad driven industry is because most people don't evaluate new technologies, they just switch to them when everyone else does.

Read the quote again. "I'm looking forward to hearing from our community and to educate them on what this is and what this is not."

They literally couldn't give a shit what the public thinks, because if the public disagrees, they need to be "educated" more.

Jackboots gonna jackboots, and cops still don't realize high IQ people are shunned from their profession for too much independent thought.

It wasn't a push notification though, it was a pop up that showed up when you visited one specific site.

I bet what happened is that this pop up showed up while the leadership was in the room, probably being sold on the benefits, and it was extremely embarrassing.

This is exactly what they did in Europe too. They designed the trains so they could run on commuter rail lines as well. Then they started laying new segments of track, shaving 20-30 minutes off a particular route at a time until it's entirely high speed.

You're wrong, go read how the BBC would cover a rape accusation in the early 2000s, compared to the hysterical feminism that is now the norm. The Guardian's opinion section is basically a progressive tabloid now.

Great. A bunch of shit that benefits a few, and all it costs is mass surveillance of everyone and a spy radio in every device.

No thanks, do not want.

>It's not communism, and not socialism, it's about justice and equity for the basis of merely being human, and deserving dignity for that fact.

Very nicely done. You snuck in equity then pretended like requiring everyone to get the same outcome in life is just basic dignity.

No, sorry. Dignity means you are entitled to the sweat of your own brow, the fruits of your own labour, and the bullies can't humiliate you and take it from you. Most of what SJWs have done is colonize and appropriate, shaming original creators and expecting to be heard when they've contributed little or nothing themselves.

I don't believe you actually believe everyone deserves dignity btw. Do open source projects deserve the dignity of self determination, or should they roll over and police their community exactly the way _you_ want? And do "incels" deserve the kind of "dignity" you want, through equity in the sexual marketplace, regardless of their looks or means? Or do you expect them to work on their own appeal to find a partner?

Social justice is a luxury belief, ironically itself mostly popular only with white people.

When has RMS chosen to destroy his opponents instead of walking away and doing his own thing?

>A liberal arts education fosters valuable "soft skills" like problem-solving, critical thinking and adaptability.

Uh. What do they think an engineering education is like?

And the absolutely astounding level of armchair gfx programming and content design on display. *kisses fingers*

Tell that to the people who started a witch hunt.

What actual harm did Stallman do? He sent an email in which he argued over choice of words, after making some people at some of the most expensive educational institutions slightly uncomfortable with his persistent social handicap.

His opponents then made him the scapegoat and poster boy for every possible gender issue in tech, from Damore's similarly dispassionate memo to actual child abuse, and everything in between. It's insane.

Pay attention to who is being forced to take responsibility for the actions of others, and who gets to discard their own agency for their own benefit.

Stallman also has nothing to do with the scandal that precipitated this, and which all these busybodies should be actually digging into.
