@thomasfuchs@goedelchen Generally agree, but sometimes I can't help myself. When I do, I usually reply and then block immediately (as in this case). I don't care if they see my response, since they are obviously not interested in good-faith discussion.
@RememberUsAlways@goedelchen@thomasfuchs "risking your life every day"... Landscapers and crossing guards have more dangerous jobs than cops, and they manage to perform a service without regularly shooting people. Cops are not victims.
Wow. RStudio (recently rebranded as Posit) is partnering with Palantir. Yes, the same Palantir with ties to Cambridge Analytica. The same Palantir that partners with and actively supports ICE and other oppressive surveillance.
This is really not ok ethically, and can only mean a bad direction functionally for the company's software going forward. I never use RStudio for research myself, but it looks like I'll stop using it in teaching.
