@kaniini @cowanon@freespeechextremist.com I see these as primarily chat protocols, besides activitypub which is a socialization protocol. They can fit the role, but they aren't made for it.

@kaniini what is wrong with slow form direct communication?

@kaniini Is email the concept stupid, or email the technology stack stupid?

@kaniini PostmarketOS? Or just pure alpine?

@kaniini There are worse things than techbros having no shame in teaching ML for way too much when fast.ai exists.

@sir Well, crashing is too rare for me to dislike it. Could there be a laptop that I would like more? Yes probably. Do I dislike mine? No. It's built well enough, it's battery holds enough for the rare usage where electricity is not available, and I always carry a big enough backpack to bring it with me anyways.

@sir My current laptop satisfies my needs decently. It sometimes crashes randomly, but I believe it's the fault of software running on it.

@sir ♬ is definitely two sixteenth notes

@sir and the 1/16ths?

@sir Uhhh, that is definitely not 1/4th rest then. Or that's not 1/2 note in the end.

@sir uhh, I don't really get it. I guess it's easier to draw (or send examples).

@sir 5/4? Not that it's bad, but a bit unconventional choice for a beat.

@sir Sadly, not really a solution if you want your language to be used.

@sir Not everyone who wants to implement their language is keen on reading a 5000 page long x86 manual (https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/39/c5/325462-sdm-vol-1-2abcd-3abcd.pdf)(25 MB)

@passenger @sir About the second part: highly questionable already because of GPDR should probably cover such stuff.

@passenger @sir Denying scammers at scale quickly would be lost. I worked with one such product(https://idenfy.com), and they get real creative. Removing facial recognition adds a lot more slow and error-prone (facial recognition algorithms outperformed humans in our case) manual labor which is very boring and very commonly outsourced. Who would you rather trust to review your document photos: an algorithm that uses facial recognition, or some dude in India? For me, the answer is clear.

@sir I disagree! Most of them are actually catching scammers and impersonators.

@sir Oof, that's a bit harsh. I know like 7 companies which use facial recognition ethically, and which would basically kill their business. Those are also some of the main innovators in the space.

@sir Now I have worked on a product that used facial recognition rationally and with consent, and fully ethical as far as I could see. Banning facial recognition at all I find as a detriment to possible technology developments, but regulating it is important.
