Restricting speech can lead to censorship and the suppression of dissenting voices, potentially undermining democratic principles. Determining what content should be restricted is subjective and can be susceptible to abuse, causing bias and

Deciding what constitutes "misinformation" is highly subjective and can lead to censorship of diverse opinions. A government empowered to regulate speech based on content risks suppressing valid dissenting voices. While misinforma

Ahh good memories. This is how me and a friend got into programming. We would constantly feud though because he used VB, but I used delphi. Clearly, I was using the superior language :)

Thinking out loud here and this might be a terrible idea, and maybe at the risk of snubbing journalism majors, but what if the dependency was inverted? As in, what if, instead of having journalists who take a few classes here and there in

His point remains. If someone is so uncomfortable in all other languages that they have to pick a bad tool for the job, then they are probably not a good developer. Obviously, we can't always pick or even know the absolute 'best

Sure, of a law is on the books, then hold people responsible. But we are talking about 3rd party printer ink here. Why is criminality and jail even being mentioned at all?

by dbsmith83 3y ago
Because "make decisions that harm people" is vague, and criminal codes should be explicit and clear? Who the fuck would want to do business if someone can arbitrarily claim they broke some vague law that most surely would not get

Your logic makes no sense. Make laws requiring landlords to properly vent gas stoves, not ban them altogether.

I think the point is that it should only be used to summarize wikipedia information, and thus harder to use for other ethically murky purposes? But that remains to be seen; I haven't tried it yet.
