never said it was hacking but he DID say that hacking is a federal crime.

He didn't threaten them directly. The parent asked and he could have just said no. But instead he starts talking about "federal crimes." If that's irrelevant, why even bring that up? That sounds like intentional misleading to me.

"do I not seem approachable" stance on investigating sexual harassment

The guy sounds real pleasant, but that was about leaking and not harassment.

Wouldn't it be disingenuous to not answer truthfully (at the caveat that it was actually the truth)?

Well there's the problem. Doesn't seem that the kid did anything illegal, so the federal crime implication was a very disingenuous scare tactic.

Most of these I'm perfectly fine with, leakers get banned, but what was that pokemon kid? The kid pulled a texture out of a public release and this guy goes threatening the parents for "federal crimes." What the shit?

well it wasn't for no reason, it was for stupid reason, which is different

Yeah, guess I ovesimplified a bit. For anyone not aware, it was one report of racism towards a delivery driver.

The accusation was completely false, and even if the guy actually were a racist pos, remotely disabling devices he paid for and owns is not a good road to go on.

This is what I fear the most with these platforms. They have these shitty automated moderation systems that can just decide to delete everything you have there on a whim. Already common on places like youtube and facebook, but it just keeps getting worse. Every site is pushing users into signing in with their google/microsoft/whatever accounts.

Remember the guy who lost access to his smart home when amazon banned him for no reason?

It's not like it'll disappear entirely, just that clueless idiots will stop shoving it everywhere it doesn't belong.

I have always thought it does the opposite: you get a bunch of people hell bent on revenge.

That's some irritating formatting. Half-bolded words?

She's stuck in irregularly shaped traffic.

Here's a portion of detroit:

The city is almost entirely grid, some of it at an angle. You can see these two grids visualized in the post.

I'd think there's some serious god damn overlap between the groups that are pissed about these things.

Or was it never about the power consumption in the first place and now that little Timmy has an Ai buddy the waste of electricity is fine. SMH

I don't think I want to waste my energy on hating these hypocrite Timmies since I haven't yet encountered a single one of them.

That's like saying that the second key of a 2-key nuke launch console is an extra attack vector.
