Yeah, and now we have police forces trying to use facial recognition. They never stop chipping away.@version That could be, but we also had the same freakout two or three decades ago with security cams. This was a big thing in the UK, right?
Theres a difference between idiosyncratic stances that may be hard to read and wanton speculation on others beliefs. Theres lots of the former and little of the latter.That's every conversation on this forum! No one knows what anyone is talking about ever!

How can you say I'm exemplary in this, given the way I feel my own stances are being distorted in this thread? There's projection on both sides, that's part of playing fast and loose. I can reign it in and try to be fair, but that doesn't seem to be the game 'round these parts
That was luka and pretty clearly a good bit in jest. You accused of being NYT readers twice! Thats so specific its weird!How can you say I'm exemplary in this, given the way I feel my own stances are being distorted in this thread ("apps will save the world").

we know that, the comment that started this conversation literally said its not all tech bros. The biggest tech companies have a penchant for insidious business practice, so if we want to talk about it it doesn't seem all that ridiculous that we dont tenuously qualify every statement we make.My only real opinion I care about in this thread "tech bros" are not broadly evil, but that current consumer desires for free shit online leads to the very data surveillance state that they bemoan.
This stuff comes back to my issue with treating capitalism like an entity or force in its own right and what vimothy was saying about treating things like natural processes. We don't have to turn into this data-harvesting society. We can choose not to do it. We can build and play other games. The current game isn't some natural law.
