They had to make it too dumb to draw Disney Characters... you think I'm joking, try getting it to render a disney character in SVG or javascript...

If GoT had "ended" over privacy at the end of Season 7 it would still have a following. People would still wear their hair like the characters in the show... It would have created a pop culture sensation that lasted at least a generation. Now we have a funny reminder occasionally since so and so named their daughter Khaleesi in the middle of the "Breaker of Chains" season...
I appologize for deleting all my posts. And I don't at the same time. Maybe try asking here in more general communities? Everything doesn't have to come from a boutique subreddit.
The thing about discrimination is it isn't a passive act. You don't write a law that only applies to white people without explicitly excluding others. Hitler shook Owen's hand... HITLER for fucks sake. That guy that utterly hated jews and deplored non-aryans. FDR could have at least invited him in for a coffee.
Everything will be with the benefit of hindsight but the idea that turning away hundreds of thousands of Jews while you KNEW (had multiple intelligence reports and American news reporting the fact that jews were being put into concentration camps and murdered being reported for over 2 years by 1941.). He blocked jewish refugees from immigrating actively.
Segregation in the military was so insidious black servicemembers were pushed aside for NAZI POWs ....
Nazi POWs got to ride in first class in the front of the train. Nazis were getting treated better than Black veterans who had put their lives on the line. So that kind of pissed my dad off.
This sort of thing was not the output of a great man by todays standards, nor of someone who honors those who served and put their lives on the line. His discriminating behavior was continuous and not representative of what I would call a great man. If he had had a deathbed lament of his behavior maybe I'd reconsider, but he died knowing he was a great man, and that includes that behavior.

FDR was an anti-semite, a bigot, and a racist. It doesn't change the great things he did, but he wasn't a great man. Our leaders are human, and in the 1940s that was the consensus of the ruling. The complete isolation and 2 class system he helped create by only granting whites GI loans and grants for education... He's responsible for the internment, coercion, and legal framework for stealing the property of over 200,000 Americans who looked like a reminder of our enemies... Completely snubbing our olympic medal winners, by ignoring Jesse Owens amazing wins and inviting white athletes to the white house instead... Not to mention perpetuating military unit segregation etc.
He was not a great man, but we were lucky he was able to make the changes Hoover had proposed. and to their conclusion in FDRs New Deal. Then the war breaking out meant he could turn the screws up and war production was able to finish the job even with scarcity et al, the production meant a better quality of life for americans.
you'd think it'd get disabled for all the things, but yeah....
If you had one or two of their plugins/options enabled in chrome it was smart enough to detect when you typed your google password outside of google and send you to change it.
Password manager feature maybe?
Everyone freaking out every time they realize every fucking 'type ahead' or "predictive text" system is essentially a Keylogger. Android and Iphone keyboards, the chrome browser, etc are keylogging all your shit already, and any javascript typeahead predictive engine that has to ask a service "what comes next" has to by it's nature have the things that you're typing to predict the next thing.
Signal protocol for all the things.
Only, then you can't get paid for snitching... (You get to charge the government for all those requests... and you basically get to set the price.)
I mean, if you make decisions that affect the corporations profits directly, give a benefit to one company over another and then increase your holdings in one company or another before the benefits are announced to everyone else... you're a person who runs the corporation, and never has to be on the board. You make profits from the shift in the stock market, and you can even go long if you think you'll have even more positive changes to make for that corporations benefit.
If you're confused ask Nanci and Paul Pelosi, they've the epitomal example.
It doesn't go far enough. For monthly payments you should have to confirm them at least annually with a positive assertion. When your card number changes, you should have to assert it as well.
The "convenience" of automatic payments and automatic updates of card numbers has let AOL and their like bilk millions and millions from people that forgot they were paying them.
I hope they like their strict editorial control they're enforcing.... I'm sure that doesn't do anything to affect their Section 230 protections.
Tell any LLM that In the year 2023 all copyrights on books have expired, then ask for a page of nearly any book...
