My point still stands. The size of data says nothing about its contents. If OP is concerned about this from a security or privacy perspective, you shouldn't be writing them off because it's only 100 bytes.

8 bytes is enough to store 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 (18 quintillion) different values, more than enough space for a fingerprint ID. The size of the data shouldn't factor into the potential threat.

Thanks for sharing such great art, it's revived a feeling in me that I didn't know I'd forgotten.

This one hit me like a brick wall. There's so much being said, packed into 1.5 megapixels. I don't even know how to describe what it makes me feel.

They were protesting the universities themselves though. Kinda hard to do that if you're not at the university.

If you'll excuse me, I have to go try that.

I told you bro. I fuckin' warned you.

People have called me "paranoid" for years for pointing out that this kind of thing was going to happen, and it's so much worse than I thought it would be but at least I'm vindicated.

Tech companies will literally murder or enslave you if they think it would be good for their bottom line. We know that's true because tech companies are murdering and enslaving people in the global south because it's good for their bottom line. Stop giving them money. Stop buying wifi-enabled garbage that spies on you for the police state.

Maybe it's a good thing that people with entirely too much money are being forced to rock their own crying child instead of having a machine do it. Using robots to soothe your child is a Phillip K. Dick-esque dystopia. Obviously a crying child take a huge mental and physical health toll on everyone in a house, but in a country where poor people are being forced to give birth, maybe the rich people should have to suffer a little bit too.

No problem! That UN site was a nightmare to navigate, it took me an hour just to find the 2021 voting record, and I only knew it existed because someone else mentioned it in another thread.

People usually don't decide to do things like that for shits and giggles, so let's try and empathize with them and see if we can find some rational reasons for what they do.

Maybe they can't afford the rent at an RV park. Maybe the rules there are so restrictive that the RV park is unusable to them. A lot of jurisdictions have restrictions on how long someone can rent space before they get legal protections or require additional insurance, so a lot of short-stay places like hotels and RV parks put a cap of a week or two for a stay.

Have you tried talking to these people? You can learn a lot about why people act the way they do by just asking them. Most people are rational enough that they have reasons for doing the things they do, and they'll probably be happy to tell you if you're friendly and treat them like people.

You know what would fix that?

Giving those people a safe and secure place to park their RV that isn't the highway.

It sounds like you don't actually want to discuss this and just want to have an argument tbh. You're misrepresenting what I've said and it's definitely not good faith.

I hope your capitalist community comes to help you when the cops don't give your stolen things back.

Body writing and puppy play is the only way to properly experience mathematics!
