Counterpoint: this will kill all whistleblowing and investigative journalism. All sources revealed in an instant. We already had it bad with the printers.

If AI is a concern mandatory AI fingerprinting as currently implemented is better.

This costs $25 but may have what you want. They’ve been around a long time and claims to have history going back to 2001

I concur, total assessed value of all real estate holdings would be a better metric.

Roughly 13,300 bananas, assuming very average bananas not too long and not too short, and a lot of patience laying them down on the floor.

Yeah, I thought about that bit but deleted that because it only tangentially related to the topic.

Here’s it again: a multiplier for land use. Farmland get like 0.1, residental 1.0. Also different multipliers for cities, suburbs and rural (to encourage development).

But there are companies that own farmland too, and they will try their best to find loopholes to exploit like they did to residential land. I don’t want to go down the rabbit hole of writing effective property law today so I stopped there 😆

Oh sorry I forgot, anything but metric.

So tax free at 1 Oval office, 100% at 2 Oval offices, 110% at 3 Oval offices, and so on…

Aside: I recently fired up a server with Debian 13 and the size was only 900MB compared to 2G of Debian 11, 12 and Ubuntu. Anyone knows what changed?

A more sensible metric would be the surface area of real estate IMO. A person with a 50 square meters home should not pay the same tax rate as a person with a 5000 square meters mansion.

Everyone get 100 square meters tax free (just an example here, depends on country), 1 x tax rate for the next 100 square meters, 10% increase every additional 100 square meters.

I read somewhere that yes, there is indeed a dungeon, a network of dungeons actually. The park is essentially on the second level, the first level is the underground network actors use to move around the park discreetly.

I’ll just leave a quote here. It’s from the uncertain times at the end of WW2

​“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt

We ostracized the glasses by calling them “pervert glasses”

We can do the same with “pervert pods”

Or pPods, if you will

Shared PC cafes are very popular in East & SE Asia. These machines are centrally managed and automatically wipe themselves on reboot with something like DeepFreeze.

Imagine you are making $$$ from your app or site.

One day you get an email “we’ll remove your app because we found out you didn’t pay us enough protection money. There is no appeal, we are a trillion dollar company, whatcha gonna do?”.

You instantly lose half of your income in the best case, 100% in the worst case. There is no alternative app store for iPhones outside of the EU.

DMA is supposed to fix this, but it’s only for the EU, and look at how Apple tried to spite the EU with their “compliance”.

You should try “the fuck”. Wrong command? Just type fuck! It will fix itself. 100% AI free.

I understood this reference. Japan is 25 years late according to schedule but better than never!

For those who don’t: it’s a big rabbit hole. Search for 第2新東京市

May I suggest the Korean word 여보? You can try both the 애교 style and the serious style to see what works. It’s sort, grabs the listener’s attention quickly and I think easy to pronounce. There are probably plenty of videos floating around on how to do it.

Use your mouth? ^^

I’m not in the all-or-nothing crowd. I can both have an account to make my life easier without seeing nag screens about accounts AND store absolutely no data in there. Also I recommend making a totally new account everytime with wrong genders to throw off the numbers.

Somewhat misleading. The data is only deleted from your samsung account if you refuse, but you can still keep and track it on device.

Yes, that can we worded much better but the grammar checking people and software developing people have different communication styles.

Hah, that would complete the joke, can’t wait for fully self driving cars
