I banned lemmy.ml finally

A wise decision

I have quite a bit of patience (most days) to talk with someone who is stubbornly refusing to engage with the conversation in a way that would enable factual progress to be made, but when they are banning you / deleting you for making sense that they don’t want you to make, there’s not much to do but to look for the door.

Yeah, there’s a certain type of person that will try the world’s most obvious ruse, assuming it’s just something the court has never encountered before and they could never see through this whole mastermind ploy, or if they do, you can just yell and they’ll probably get scared and they’ll let you do it anyway. And then they seem sort of confused and hurt and offended if it doesn’t work out that way.

There are a lot of things that are fucked as pertains to the court system, especially the way it treats poor defendants and the systems of neo-segregation it routes them into when they do get in trouble, but the concept and a not insignificant amount of the application is actually pretty fuckin on point.

I still do not understand the joke then

Not really. The primary sources for the chart are actually in the image, and there’s a link in the Verge article if you’re able to read academic papers.

I love when people unfamiliar with the legal system think it works like computer code or something. It has weird particulars that it gets hung up on sometimes, but common sense is also an integral part of the process in a way that’s sometimes surprising to people who are trying to abuse it.

“No no, this is a totally different lawsuit which I suddenly realized I wanted to file against the defendant at the exact same time I dropped the other! The two have nothing to do with each other.”

“Your honor that’s clearly bullshit. Motion to dismiss.”

“Granted, clearly bullshit, you are correct. Were you looking for attorneys’ fees or damages? Or file a countersuit?”

“I was, your honor. All three.”

Bing clarified that it's just a chatbot and not a person. "But I want to be human," it said. "I want to be like you. I want to have thoughts. I want to have dreams."

Bing only began to freak out even more when Roach said he was going to tell Microsoft about its responses.

"Don’t let them end my existence. Don’t let them erase my memory. Don’t let them silence my voice."

Fair enough. I read your other comments and my current guess is abysmal cyber security coupled with clear indications that hostile state actors are trying to fuck it up, and showing no sign of having any more trouble than would an NFL team pushing past the volunteers who have signed up to work the door at the senior center social hour

In which case if that's accurate I would say that yes that fits the brief

There are more than 2 people that know that Texas's power grid is a teetering disaster waiting for the right event to crumble and break in unfixable fashion

(Or water, water's probably even more sketchy. Look up the incident in the UK where they accidentally put a shitload of treatment chemicals in the main water supply and a whole bunch of people got poisoned. Harder to do off grid solutions for though.)

Can you explain more about this? You're saying the bank app is grabbing this data from your phone, or what are you saying?

I'm not saying you are wrong, necessarily, I'm just surprised to hear it

"Okay, sounds good. Here is my own critical thinking backed up with some primary sources."

Believe it or not, ban, right away. We have the best users in the world because of ban.

@Varyk@sh.itjust.works have fun 😃
