I know, and I’m glad of it, but look: tech companies DO fuck around. A lot. There are lots of ways to pressure individuals into cutting corners, and to pressure auditors and controllers to look the other way. The regulators might catch them, but there’s a very real possibility that a tech company fucks up REAL bad before they get shut down. They have a very long history of it.

And who’s going to make sure these tech companies actually run a nuclear power plant responsibly? Have they ever run anything responsibly?

I thought everyone did this, I don’t think anyone in that classroom was actually learning anything about the contents of the text, all anyone could think about is “don’t fuck up saying words out loud”

1. Seems like a very reasonable objection to me. I’d guess that most of us Immich users are using it in the first place because it improves the privacy of our photos, and a third party seeing our location data certainly undermines that.
2. I would have complained had I noticed, so you might be the first one to notice. Immich’s userbase isn’t huge right now, it’s definitely possible.
3. Featurewise, I’d like: a) a clearly documented way to disable map data leaving my server; b) a set of well-integrated choices (maybe even just two, as long as one of them is something like openstreetmap); c) the current configurability to be well documented.
4. I’d love it if all such outbound data streams are also documented. Many security and privacy-focused products give you a “quiet” mode of some kind, where you can turn off everything that sends your data somewhere else. It’s a requirement in many enterprise installations.

Makes sense, every Cybertruck probably smells like an incel. I’d assume it was trash, too

Right, the distinction I’m making is this isn’t just “normalized” but actually the correct spelling. As in, if a newspaper editor saw it written as “drive-through” they would be obliged to correct it.

On the one hand, a sign like this definitely did have enough room for the full spelling of “through”. There seems to be no reason to abbreviate it.

On the other hand, isn’t drive-thru just, like, its own noun now? Part of me thinks this was always spelled correctly.

He was offering to play a game of 1-on-1 basketball with special rules in her driveway.

Imagine any internet company lasting 50 years.

He’s not? There’s literally an episode about how Homer is so lucky in life that he drives a man insane.

Seriously, what’s the point of government if not to HELP US. We didn’t invent government to make our lives more difficult. We invented it to keep our shit together. For us. As a property of its existence.

With any charisma at all, this would definitely work.

This argument did not go well

You can’t convince people to do their job with logic when they just don’t want to do their job. After minorities, the thing cops hate most is doing their job.

The problem here, linguistically, is that any phrase which means this will take on the meaning of falsehood automatically, over time. It’s the same way that any respectable word that means “has a disability” eventually comes to be an insult and then a slur.

If you want to say something like that, the word “putative” is still pretty unfettered by negative connotations, but only because few people use it. If it were in common use, it would follow the same path as “so-called”. A more reliable approach in the long-term is to say what you mean using more words instead of fewer:

She could trust him more than any of her friends; although she wasn’t sure those people were really her friends, it remained to be seen.

It’s actually the length and awkwardness of the sentence structure that makes it resistant to misinterpretation.

This comment fits the spirit of the question better than anything else in here, I will say that.
