If we keep running it through DLSS and slop filters over and over again do we get Loab back?

Half of it seems to be just “crank up the shadow contrast even if that makes it look like crap”.

With cryptographic systems like the EU uses, it must go through the government because a 3rd party can’t implement that verification/response pattern without access to the proper gov’t cryptographic secrets.

Honestly? State ID is better than the current solution which is giving Thiel-affiliated companies photo and other data.

Ideally I’d rather have a governments provided digital ID that’s more secure and just gives the company limited metadata instead of full ID info provided from gov’t to company. Put in rules requiring warrants or subpoenas for lookups.

Okay I feel like the more basic question of “who washes the diapers at the assisted living home” in anarchism is more the thing, less about the “upend the system” stuff with every other revolutionary philosophy.

Protects and does not bind, binds and does not protect. Same as it ever was.

“popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.”

I’ve literally never heard of it.

Absurd to have this kind of government funded exclusionary religious program.

That’s why it matters. Not an abstract question of “death of the author” or the Ship of Theseus of adaptations of adaptations, but the single contemporary living human being who converts Harry Potter’s cultural cachet into actualized hatred.

It’s crazy how the Saudis oscillate between “we want to be green and modern” and “we want to do oppression and atrocities”.

The Trump White House can’t be trusted to tell American Present.

I have trouble taking piracy enforcement seriously from any company involved in AI tech.

Reintroduces, really. Iirc it was originally made for plasma 5 and and was broken by changes in Plasma 6. This is “we fixed the stuff we broke”.

I mean they actually look different from each other so that’s good

Honestly, this should be every government-funded industry where they have power over members of the public. Teachers, police, prison guards, physicians, etc. Too much important info gets trapped in provincial or even municipal databases.

Compromise: mandatory service for young people, wealth taxes on older people who never had to face mandatory service.
