You’re basically saying that everyone that can have anything to do with the database and systems around it are corrupt and working together.

No, just the person in charge has to order it. People do what their bosses tell them. Rules and procedures don’t matter if the people in charge ignore them. And again, you’re not getting access to any of the data we’re talking about in the first place, because the government would have to grant that access, and you’re not a person as far as they’re concerned in this scenario. What organisations have you worked for that would just give out information to a person they can’t verify the identity of?

That’s a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

No, it’s happening now in the US. You seem woefully under-informed to be trying to comment on current affairs. Maybe stick to your own country until you’re up to speed.

Network-attached storage is pretty proscriptive for what these machines actually do nowadays. Especially the home ones like this, tend to end up pulling multiple duties like media server, homelab, etc. Heck, a dedicated resource for local AI projects is a use case I built into my custom-built NAS using an old 2080 I had laying around after an upgrade, precisely because I want to be able to use my desktop for other stuff while the model is running.

Exactly. People are capable of changing and the left is supposed to believe in redemption. This purity-testing dead-to-me bullshit every time someone forgets a pronoun or whatever is a cancer that’s setting our movement and message back every time we fall into the trap.

Changing yourself is hard. We all deserve acceptance and support when we pull it off, for the good of all.

Logs, eh? You know those are just text files, right? And how do you plan to get access to them to prove any kind of mistake or malfeasance, exactly?

I believe this is called an “impression”.

I’m not saying a parent can stop them, I’m saying giving it is a bad idea. A parent can tell their kid why they shouldn’t do it, ask them to wait until they’re older, and let the kid make the decision if they find themselves faced with the choice. Children don’t have a lot of disposable income typically though, so obtaining drugs is proportionally more difficult without help.

“illegitimately” is the key word there. I’m not interested in what you think happens if everything is working as intended, or your poor reading comprehension. F-, rewrite your answer and address the question or you’ll fail the class and be held back a grade.

That’s a really weird way of looking at it. Without the database, there’s no central ledger to consult as to whether or not you’re legally a person. Like @atrielienz@lemmy.world said:

The database is the backbone of them being able to hurt or harm

Without that starting point, “the organizational structure, rules, and procedures” that rely on the data from the database are impotent.

Looking for ways the system can be abused and addressing those loopholes is basic risk assessment, so

just shut up

I strongly suggest taking a heaping helping of your own advice, mate.

What happens if someone is illegitimately removed from this database? How can you show whether it was a glitch, or deliberate? How do you know if the information they have about you is even right, or get it changed if you need to? Where’s the accountability?

See the UK Post Office accounting scandal, in which a persistent computer error went unfixed for decades and caused hundreds of post office employees to be fired and dragged through courts for corruption that never happened. A good chunk of them committed suicide. The government and the software company both knew about the bug causing the issue, too, but prosecutions continued. “If the computer says it, it must be right”, sort of danger.

Stoner here, but I didn’t start taking cannabis until my 30s. I’m firmly in the camp of not giving drugs to anyone until their brain has finished developing - which includes alcohol, too. Intoxicating substances impact neuron growth and produce negative outcomes for people who haven’t finished maturing yet.

I think it was in response to the last part of your comment:

I guess the typical Germans are more nerdy type people and the worst they could get is to argue about a math problem but I never see them get physical.

it reads like a little pantomime of how the commenter thinks such an argument in Germany might go.

You asked if his Zionism was relevant. It is, and that’s why.

Yes, let’s make sure we’re on the same page. You’re talking about theory, I’m talking about practice - which, in theory, are the same. In practice, however…

They ended the ability of the Judiciary to check the Executive. That’s the very foundation of the government, set out in the Constitution: https://constitution.findlaw.com/article1/annotation01.html

So yeah, it’s the final nail in the coffin of the Constitution.

Starflight, on Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. The graphics don’t look outdated, it just feels retro.

The kid was from Afghanistan, so it’s relevant as this was likely a hate crime.
