My main gripe here is that communication has become extremely centralised under the control of a few private organizations. A society whose Overton window is defined not by the community itself, but from a few network effect entrenched over

Yes. Because that's what matters if you actually want to win. There are a thousand Foss software packages or there that are philosophically superior and have better practices than their commercial brethren. But they lost, and in the en

Not fulfilling user requirements however, just means that your product is bad. Thus the success of discord.

First, please hold yourself to the same standard that you're holding me to. I see no citations to your (paraphrased) "identification of gender is exceedingly hard for humans". That goes heavily against most people's intu

Classifying gender is easy. Humans do it correctly with near-perfect accuracy, typically failing only on edge cases. Furthermore, most cultures already bake in signaling of gender in various forms (Behavior, attire, etc). Humans don't

Sure, but at the same time, there's the concept of adversarial examples not being the model's fit to noise, but simply being a different, human-imperceivable feature instead. Considering that ML has access to orders-of-magnitude g

Until you run into the guy who literally cannot code. I'm not talking hard algorithms either.

Strong disagree. We need more democratization of ML capability, not less. Right now the cost of playing around with GANs is pretty prohibitive.

We've got a happy mix of both. Increased surveillance and propaganda ala 1984, and plenty of media and other such attention hoggers to keep us all happy. Why settle for one when the two have synergistic effects?

They violated his right to privacy. You don't get to use one right to violate another without consequences.

Yes, and better precision is how you get that, especially with the targets deliberately using said innocents as shields.

You don't need to live off grid. You just have will get more expensive tools and services because of the smaller size of your niche and the lack of ad money.there's a seemingly sizable crowd out here that is highly invested in suc

This can easily be turned on its head though. Clearly, your desire for privacy is far larger than everyone else. Why should they have to suffer for your desire. You could use privacy oriented services instead.

It's not. They're similar games in which they both depend on rhythm, but beat saber more so (You lose if you're off rhythm).

This just turns Foss into the inferior but free option, and I don't think that was the intention.

If I'm getting this right, that they think that they'd rather not be born, I think it's a perfectly reasonable question. To not be born and to remove yourself are close enough.

I'll strongly disagree there on the shooters though. Old shooters has a plethora of weapons with inventory (perfect dark, goldeneye, half life) modern shooters have primary, secondary and sidearm. That's simpler, if anything. The

That's an extreme overgeneralization that's wrong in just the right places to be misleading. While there is a reduction in energy expenditure associated with the reduction of caloric intake, it is not equivalent to the reduction i

If you walk when you have been assigned to walk, your risk of an accident goes down. Please do not wave your faux high ground around like an argument.

I heard someone a while back mention that he treated discord like verbal discourse: ephemeral. Perhaps not everything needs to be logged.

It's not just that. It's the difference between negative enforcement (don't misgender) and positive enforcement (use their pronouns, no exceptions). One can be construed as "no attacks". The other is coerced speech.

And I ask of you. How many are there. How large is this population. If you support regulation, give numbers to back it up. The absence of regulation is the default state, and to introduce some should require not a feel good statement, but a

I considered them, but blind enough to appreciate visual art but too blind to use a webpage seems like a rather narrow group to me. It's one of those things where I would very much need evidence accept.

Sure, but then that's an opportunity waiting to be taken, especially in your beauty product case. Someone found that niche, took it and now that problem is solved, don't need regulation for that. For the latter, how sure are you t

As with most research, take multiple sources. A quick survey showed this (admittedly rather old paper), but it does show the immediate effect: https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/146368.pdf?seq=1#page_scan_... >On

Sure, you can find blind people with intense interest in visual media. There have to be a few out there. However, a quick google (as you requested) on the art topic seems to indicate that art targeted at the blind is rarely of the painting
