@inthehands I'm going to argue that GDPR is more than half-way to such a law --- if enforced aggressively enough.

@aral @howlinhobbit Mate, you can call him wrong -- for all I know he may be -- but David Brin? A simpleton? ROFL.
I mean, hurl random insults at whoever you like, I guess. But at least make the insults credible.

@inthehands @mcc I once read that the vocals to this are by someone improbably famous. I think The Pointer Sisters?

@inthehands @jenniferplusplus This is extremely good. I think you could argue that a commons is exactly what the original "guys with beards sharing mainframe code" that started all this were trying to build, but either way it seems to me it's exactly how we should view it.

@mcc If you get a negative size, I assume that would be bad

@oliphant @evan I think it's super easy to conflate two different things here: whether it does any harm and whether it's ethical.
Of course if it does harm, it's probably not ethical.
My POV: I'm not convinced that this does a lot of harm. But it's not ethical.

@inthehands By "neutral", of course, they mean "white". White is the default. Everything else is non-standard and political.

@carolleisa @hannu_ikonen @STL_Inquiries "Rebellious" is surely either positive *or* negative depending on what you are rebelling *against*?
As for "punk": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_ideologies

@courtcan @BlackAzizAnansi I think this is exactly right. In London in 2020, when it was thought that homeless folks might be a vector, suddenly we found a way to solve the homeless problem! We could have done that at any time! We could carry on doing it now!
But, no. Those with the power to fix these things don't care to. That's a constant.

@notGordonAllport @courtcan @BlackAzizAnansi Meh; I can't "do anything". The list of things I have the resources to do is far shorter than the list of things I don't.
I can't, for example, give up my job in order to look after my disabled wife and daughter – even though I would like to, more than anything.
We mostly do not have agency.

@inthehands I believe that happened in 1913, too.

@loriemerson @ntnsndr Well, yes, but presumably they *could* have used a made up word in the codex.
Adams seems rather more advanced than other codes I've seen, with extra words for you to add your own meaning to, and codes for inserting cyphers? ("burrowing" etc.)

@fitheach For the same reason it's not "sheeps" or "childs"?

@goatsarah Call me cynical, but I think they know exactly where the money is going and will definitely feel the benefit. Just like the billions spent on bad PPE.

@piratepost @lealternative @fediverse @fediversenews Elsewhere I hear that Lemmy's primary instance has a fairly serious moderation problem which the mods – the developers – refuse to address. So there's that.

@inthehands @cocoaphony Depending on the politics involved, "constraints that are out of our control" might be very different things.
If you're a small IT dept and you're given a bullet list by the CEO, those are unfortunately all requirements. If the head of IT is on the board, they might not be…

@AnthonyJK @Sharksonaplane Also: blocking an instance because they didn't like the name of the instance should tell you something.
