So, our main interactions happened in the past, your fault and abuse of me happened in the past, and now, in the present, you can slip a little "go out of your way or the legal terms governing our interactions in the past will be altered" clause in an email, and it's all legal?

(Hold on, let me try applying a rule of thumb that helps me answer legal questions like this: Would this help the rich and powerful maintain riches and power?... Yes. I think the answer to my question above is yes.)

I'd argue the the interactions and faults of the past should be governed by the agreement we had in the past.

Was he a Go developer before generics? Published 4000 versions of the library, one for each type.

To avoid running code that might steal your data for profit, only run official code that will still your data for profit.

Y'all underestimating the low casting cost of saying "happy holidays".

They said nothing about boycotting the industry. Buy games from good companies and good indie devs, that's not a boycott.

Boss says "make logical decisions". Insights like this are why they pay him the big bucks. Not just anybody can come up with such insights. (/s)

I can see some advantages of that.

I'm American though, so YYYY-DD-MM is the best I can do.

We need a branch of government filled with random people. Politicians are people who seek power, the type of person that wins big elections is not a normal person, thus, normal people are not represented in government.

In the US, I wish the house were filled with random people. Randomly select 3 people for each house seat, have the 3 people debate and explain their personal beliefs, and then people vote. This would fill the seat with someone who is mostly likeable, but is still a normal person and not a career politician.

make people who use adblockers “experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using.”

The sad thing is, I consider this an upgrade. I'll take a moment to breathe and maybe break out of the negative spiral that is modern internet use.

Trivia question: Which politician has proposed "suspending the constitution" in recent years?

Hint: It's the same politician that said "take the guns first, go through due process second.”

Another hint: Trump said both those things.

Industry will leak PII without consequence every week.

Hey! I came into this threat planning to answer Tribes 2, and I'm surprised I'm not alone.

I miss Tribes.

Tribes 2 (from 2001), Outer Wilds, and Shadow of the Colossus

I'd like to sleep from about 2 to 10-2 every night. Society doesn't like this though.

I bet you've been doing it less than 5 years? Give it time, you'll see past the fulfilling part eventually.

... announcing the Switch First!

And if the courts rule in a way that limits US company's ability to train AIs, then I hope they practice their shocked Picachu faces for when people start using AIs created by countries that don't care about US law.

I want to make a short film / animation where aliens are approaching earth, the only thing we know about the aliens is that they plan to destroy all life and replace it with their own twisted creation. A few minutes of typical story follows, heroes assemble, go to fight, etc. The heroes lose and the ending scene shows that the aliens have succeeded and replaced all the diverse life on Earth with a perfectly manicured lawn that covers the entire planet. A biological wasteland.

True democracy would be filling at least one branch of government with randomly selected citizens. Career politicians are psychopaths and don't represent us.
