Reddit has been a corporation-enshittified garbage fire for a few years now. I officially pegged the beginning of the end at when they ended secret santa.
On that note, someone should really make a Lemmy secret santa community if they haven't already.
From my understanding it's more like a digital tollbooth that's been tracking you across the web, and when it can't figure out who you are/where you've been, it holds you hostage to do free image recognition to train AI as a toll.
not at all arguing this is okay, not even a little
but
If you are the French government, and you know what the French populace has a history of doing to the French government, it would be understandable to want to keep your eye on them, no?
again. It ain't cool. But I'm honestly surprised they didn't hop on the "intrusive surveillance" bandwagon sooner, like, as soon as mass surveillance became feasible, and have the privacy laws they do.
honestly, this is brilliant. Not only is it going to make it easier to understand people with really thick accents -- I've worked with lots of Indian people before (hotel industry) and I still get tripped up from time to time, especially over a crappy phone line -- but it'll also probably cut down on a lot of the racist shit they may take from customers. I can imagine the average call center employee with a thick accent takes a fair bit more abuse than call center employees who speak without an accent.
on the other hand, this might also make it harder to identify a scam call immediately if this becomes commonplace. Not that perfect English speakers aren't also capable of scamming you, but, usually the scam callers aren't perfect English speakers.
I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, as I highly doubt the aforementioned dipshit parents are reading this Lemmy thread.
I'm saying if the death of their own child doesn't make them wise up, nothing will, and it's not anyone else's responsibility to try and cater to their stupidity by softening the blow. If enduring your own child's funeral, that you caused, only makes you double down on killing kids, then you hopefully do not have access to any more children to kill. That's all. Please feel free to explain how that's "emotional" or "isn't rational". I think it's quite rational.
no, it's very much on them if they choose to continue being stupid when being stupid cost them the life of their child. It's not on anyone else.
And if they choose to continue being stupid, to go back to the anti-vax community after the anti-vax community helped them kill their kid, well, we can only hope they don't have any more kids to kill.
Attoparsec, Chronova Engineering, and polymatt all fit that description.
