@drwho you absolutely can though i will note that i have no evidence of toaster vulns in the wild

upwardly class mobile enough to no longer feel the hush of Luxury Branding every time i touch an apple product

not upper class enough to not find apple stickers on things they don’t belong on hilarious

(“but babe, it’s like an iShopvac now!”)

i wave a blessing in the direction of Dave the Portlander who taught me in childhood that taking the holographic Intel Inside sticker off a PC and putting it on a toaster was the height of comedy

but the world didn’t understand your lessons, Dave

the toasters are vulnerable to speculative execution bugs now

@evan This constitutes feedback, then, that what you have written is not coming off as presenting varied viewpoints in the way that those who believe in them might. That seems like a shame, because there's definitely a lot worth chewing over on these topics.

@evan What you present as one side gets its opinions fleshed out in little statements, and what you present as the other side gets its opinions followed by "[People who disagree] just don't get it", more than once. Do you think that's even-handed?

@lea this is a good one! it has the semantic association like an approximate-tilde, but maybe a bit easier for someone to piece together without prompting

update: “[the approximation]” has been working great, thank you to all who commented and helped me get here

I want a typographic convention for paraphrasis. ~”Not the thing that was literally said but my approximation of it, but also clearly marked off as reported speech.”

I would really love if @eff or somebody went through some popular services' *existing* Terms of Service and made a not-legal-advice legal guess at whether they have *already* given themselves permission to use user data within generative machine learning systems.

books used to be cool
