Well, legal proceedings take time. Not like they could (or should) just execute him on the spot or anything like that, it's at least supposed to be a democracy with proper checks and balances to make sure everything's in harmony with the law.

Government-sponsored facial recognition aside, I was gonna celebrate this as a rare event of a government doing something right, but then

The measures don’t apply to researchers or to what machine translation of the rules describes as “algorithm training activities” – suggesting images of citizens’ faces are fair game when used to train AI models.

and I feel like that undermines the entire idea, since you can easily hide behind that excuse and not give a shit. And given previous circumstances, I feel like a lot of companies are gonna get away with it.

I have no horse in this race, but going to the post about a celebrity that has shitty tattoos in the community about shitty tattoos and asking who gives a shit seems like a losing battle to me, given the entire premise of the community is talking about shitty tattoos and the people who have them.

Seems a bit early to tell if this will have much of a lasting effect. So-called economic "shock therapies" have a long history of working for a year or so, and then unraveling later. And especially for Argentina, the cycle of decades of growth followed by decades of recession has been going on for a while now. I'll be genuinely impressed if he manages to actually fix the economy long-term, but that still remains to be seen.

This was maybe the most pathetic coup attempt in recent years (excluding jan 6th and brazil's jan 8th because they both wouldn't have worked as actual coups regardless). At least some part of the military was clearly in on it too, but they didn't even stop the representatives from voting to invalidate the declaration, and even worse, it was attempted while the opposition nearly had a supermajority, and with an incredibly disliked president.

Maybe this is overthinking it, but why would you ever try a coup without at least some popular support? Yeah, it doesn't matter what the people think as far as making it happen, but lack of popular support often leads to a lot of instability, and the first one to die in an unstable dictatorship is often the guy at the top.

Needs more red circles

Sometimes you really have to stop and ask yourself what the fuck is going on at Mozilla's HQ. It's insane how they manage to shoot themselves in the foot at least once a week.

Nah, some people just really suck at being assertive (and/or have really bad social anxiety).

Sounds like the person you're married to is kind of a dick, honestly. Thinking less of other people for not understanding your own unclear language just shows a massive lack of introspection. As a local autism, though, I definitely disagree with the last point, as a significant difference between someone who has autism and someone who doesn't is that language is understood differently (I would know), and that means you can both understand and be understood incorrectly very easily. This post is kind of deliberately divisive anyway, but I believe the point of saying something and being misunderstood, despite your best efforts (hopefully), still stands.

I wouldn't say that's particularly surprising. Most people in Lemmy and similar platforms have been here since the mass exodus from Reddit, or are programmers themselves. These groups are usually more privacy-minded, and see this as a significant privacy issue. This doesn't really necessarily mean it's an echo chamber though, I've seen a lot of people talk about how they use and like Windows, and I think the reason why they downvoted your comment (making an assumption here, I don't see downvotes in my instance) is because it seems to be completely unprompted by anything or anyone, and a bit abrasive.

Why are you blamimg the developer team? It seems like management would be more to blame, given most of the time, they are the ones that overpromise on stuff like this, then work the developers to the bone until they inevitably fail to deliver on the absurd expectations set by their higher-ups. I'm not entirely familiar with the details for this case, but I know Take-Two are the exact kind of company that pulls this idiotic stunt with every dev team they have under their belt, as has been shown time and time again with so many games they publish.

Edit: Having done a bit of due dilligence, it seems that Intercept Games was created as a part of Private Division after they were bought out by Take-Two, which in my opinion just reinforces the perspective that the dev team had little to no say in how the game was marketed or released.

It's almost like other people exist, and almost like they're affected in a different way than you are by who is in charge of the government. Seriously though, I thought "it doesn't affect me, so it must not be a problem" wasn't supposed to be an actual argument.
