"chase kids on ebikes across parks and playgrounds."
The problem is they aren't in parks and playgrounds riding their "e-bikes" (they're more electric motorcycle than bicycle). They're on the road with cars and major traffic. I see it, particularly, in more affluent neighborhoods (Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica).
And we're not talking about a few... They're everywhere -- particularly after school hours and weekends.
Ebiikes are a legal workaround loophole for motorcycles.
You realize there are a bunch of homes available for sale in all sorts of places for next to nothing. The problem isn't "housing", it is "housing where people want to live". Declining population in places like Italy have created housing collapse where nice houses aren't sold, and sit empty, and they'll pay you to move into one.
It isn't colonial, it is industrial. The current format of school is that of preparing for a factory workforce. We are post industrial, knowledge/AI/Whatever it will be called workforce.
Educators need to come to grip with getting EVERY child their MAX educational value we can. This means breaking the rows and columns of desks in a classroom, and getting kids their most valuable education they can get. This means some will do much better than others. Talent has gradations. Not everyone can be a Astro Physics expert.
"fair" is subjective. What you think is "fair" isn't really fair. It is objectively unfair to use qualitative terms in discussion of policy.
What would be fair, is that Government live within the means we ALREADY tax out of the public. Cut Spending first. Then, when all cuts that can be made, are made, then MAYBE we can have a discussion on tax increases.
Its Not Your Money.
Envy isn't a virtue.
The problem here, is "fairness" is subjective, not objective.
Use of that particular term is deliberate tug on the emotional center of brains. it works, which is why Progressives ALWAYS use it.
Which is exactly what they said a hundred years ago when they instituted the "income tax".
Rich people will move out. And take their wealth with them.
Taxes are regressive. All of them.
Conspiracy theories are, until they are not.
Secret Pedo island owned by rich dude with elitist ties was once a "conspiracy theory". Now we know that Epstein killed himself 100% because "They" said so.
"I'm just asking questions" idiots notwithstanding. I'm looking at you Candice.
Security isn't convenient.
Security isn't easy, but it isn't hard either.
Assume you're' a target (because you are) and make it so that you're hardened. Don't be the easy target. Criminals are lazy.
Instead of fearing AI, use it to secure software and make it better.
We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
Yeah, the privacy aspect of EFF doesn't align with social media in general IMHO.
Are they trying to "earn" some $ from social media? That's a silly goal, but might be a nice side benefit.
It's worse than that, because with proper skill, it isn't even a copy/pasta. It is one app that posts to everything all at once. Even the social media places that didn't make the list.
Buffer, Hootsuite, Metricool, Robopost or Later
One could probably tweak posts for each platform with AI effectively.
Here is the list they are staying with
Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube
So, where did the audience go? It didn't go to the existing places from 20-8 years ago. And I doubt it went to the two new kids.
What this tells me is that their audience is aging/dying off, and the younger generations aren't there in numbers. This requires little to no political inferences to understand. It is easy to mistake one for the other.
Yes, I am a Boomer. I don't rely upon AI to tell me what to think. I am also a Libertarian and interested in Privacy and been a long time proponent of Open Source. Maybe figure out what intersections to the younger generations align and go there.
Using AI is training AI to replace you. If you can be replaced with AI, you will be, and should be.
If you don't use AI, your peers will be, and you will be replaced by AI anyway.
Good Luck
