• On the post: TikTok Sued Again By Parents Whose Children Killed Themselves Participating In A ‘Blackout Challenge’

  "Sometimes the only way to discover what should have been done is to examine the evidence after the tragedy has already occurred." Sometimes the only way to is actually pay attention to the world. Child dies in backseat in summer. Pretty sure it shouldn't have taken more than 1 to make the point but now we're mandating systems to alert parents their kids are in the backseat. Child dies after seeing "fill in the blank" online. Yet parents are still relying on the digital babysitter, & are upset the corporations didn't care about their kid. Child gunned down in school. ... Perhaps humans are just that stupid.

• On the post: FBI’s Crime Data Collection Still Being Stymied By Major Police Departments Not Reporting Crime Stats

  I mean its not like one of the cops who executed Tamir Rice just got fired from his new job once the town figured out who he was & what he had done... seems they forgot to check the "Do not hire these murderers" list in violation of the law when they made him their 1 and only cop... But its okay, the council members who hired him knew who he was without checking and have a history of posting very nice things about people without melanin deficiency.

  The shorter the comment, the more likely I'm engaging in silliness. When you see a wall of text from me, its something I feel strongly about and am being mostly serious. Also... Americans will use anything else as a unit of measure except the metric system... Behold... Rubiks cube for scale. https://imgur.com/gallery/JBZT0Xq

  stares Samuel... why did you take the resident immortal sociopath seriously? In my defense I give you... A boulder the size of a medium boulder is blocking the road. A sinkhole the size of 5 or 6 washing machines has opened on the freeway. I have a picture of the standard banana measuring device. I have the picture that spawned... 'Banana for scale' from the ad trying to sell the tv. The first step is to remember, I mock everyone... including myself.

• On the post: After Years Of Being Called An IP ‘Thief,’ China Now Out-Patenting Others… And Suing

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 12 Jul, 2022 @ 07:39am

  China only did what China does... We off-shored yet another American product, patents, and those industrious workers found a way to do it better, cheaper, faster. The hubris to think that they wouldn't have foudn the answer to IP whining through controlling all the IP they can.

• On the post: Charter’s Running A Fake Consumer Group In Maine That’s Killing Community Broadband–With The Help Of A Democratic Advisor

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 12 Jul, 2022 @ 07:33am

  See trying to do community broadband did cost you a bunch of money... cause we made you scared of it so you can eat the upfront costs and stay with our crappy expensive service rather than risk competition and lower prices.

• On the post: Reverse Keyword Warrant Challenged After Cops Asked Google To Search Millions Of People’s Data Multiple Times

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 11 Jul, 2022 @ 10:03pm

  I think the much larger concern thats being glossed over... Despite the huge budgets & toys, they wouldn't even come up with a correctly worded warrant. They had no leads, one wonders if their investigative techniques were as flawed as their warrant wording. The idea that a group of kids willing to burn (or kill) a family out of their home would have nothing that could have made them persons of interest beyond... they googled an address raises question about how lazy the cops are. That or lets just be honest they have serious problems going after racists for the same reason you don't see spiderman and peter parker together.

  looks at the leader of the GQP who has a long history of adultery, cheating, banging hookers and they ignore it Yeah no, finding out the golden boy is gay is the only thing the GQP can get upset about these days. Given how many male escorts are booked during CPAC, I think it would just shock them... sort of like how they are busily trying to destroy Drag Queen Story Time while actively ignoring their own churches are covering up and enabling sexual predators.

  Someone want to drop a note to CPAC & mention that T-Mo will be letting advertisers microtarget those with Grindr installed? I have a feeling Congress might finally act.
