  • That’s a good idea. The “probably” really is forced. Especially the second one. I think the “punchline” works better if the serious tension isn’t broken early.

    I DM’d you an edit I made, removing “probably”.

    I thought about posting it here, but I don’t think we should get in the habit of editing people’s coimcs to our liking and sharing them, probably.




  • Consent is consent. It’s not exclusive to sexual activities.

    Extreme comparisons like this have been used since the dawn of time to draw attention to a smaller problems. Just because it’s smaller problem, doesn’t mean it’s not a problem.

    In fact, there’s nothing in this comic that specifically compares scraping AI to sexual consent. Sure the “ugly” guy is pretty stereotypical of how we represent rapists, but that’s just a common association we share, not reality (I have no doubt the artist is fully aware of this).

    If we really want to get into this, we can talk about the AI scrapping being done across social media that is adding children to the data set. Do you think everyone ai generating images of children has good intentions? Think their parents give consent for that “use case” when they posted the pictures to Facebook years ago? It’s disgusting and should not be dismissed because “its as bad as the real crime”.


  • Oops, I wasn’t really doing the math as I went

    Originally I was adding up to your 10x + a adding in bunch extra for flock, but somepoint my brain switch that 10x to 10%. Oh well, the specific numbers dont really matter.

    I think greater responsibility should be placed on the department to encourage firing. If the burden is mostly on the officer, than the department bean counters won’t care as long the officer can write more “valid” tickets to offset the bogus ones.

    Its also like if a waiter drops a tray of food on someone causing injury. Who is financially responsible to the injured person, the business or waiter? I think most of would agree that the business is. The business is fully within their rights to fire that waiter, but they can’t withhold pay for the damages. If the business can prove the tray was intentionally thrown, then they can sue the waiter. But, the injured party should never have to talk to the waiter.

    Should the be the same for an officer, if they make a mistake it’s on the department to make it right with the affected parties. If the department proves the officer maliciously broke protocol or law, then they can sue them separately. The victim of the officer’s actions should be made “whole” by the department, then the department and officer can figure it out on their own.













  • If I’m reading the clipboard part right, and seems people on the forms are thinking the same;

    If an app can only access clipboard content that it set, does that mean we can’t copy/paste between apps? That would be ridiculous. Does the act of pressing “paste” over right the block, and GrapheneOS will only block the background access apps have?

    I like IOS approach, where it asks you before pasting “this app is trying to copy from another app”, and you can allow or decline it. But it is really annoying sometimes.
