While true, they can still give you a hard time. If you simply don't have one they can't do much about that.

That's the ugly truth. There's plenty of reasons to be upset with Google, but this ain't it.

While the 97% accuracy rate isn't anywhere enar good enough, the simple fact remains that it's just not worth the privacy risk. The idea of this becoming mandatory, at the TSAs own direction is completely horrifying. If elected officials legislated such a thing, at least we have some possible recourse. As it is, we have no recourse against the TSAs director.

Seems like a strange way to enforce it, at the user level vs the api client level, unless they're trying to guard against screen scraper types.

I'm sure that factors in as well.

Couldn't agree more. The processing is a distraction. Good food can be heavily processed and bad food can lightly processed. The issue is that the processing of food makes some foods easier for overconsumption. That's not an issue than can be legislated at the root cause and anything else will have unintended side effects.

What about riced cauliflower? The issue is the type of processing, but I'd submit that is a distractio to the bigger issue. The problem is that the processing often results in foods that are easier and tastier to eat, resulting in over consumption.

If that's true, then the issue isn't that processed foods are bad on their own, but a side effect of the processing is that they are easier to overeat on. That's a very different issue that what type of food is being eaten. It's possible to overeat on grilled chicken and vegetables, it's just that it's harder to do.

This is by design. They've got us arguing about the api price, when their goal was to kill off third party apps and get all users on their app so they can data mine us. And the ridiculous api price is a secondary bonus for them, since AI and LLM companies will gladly pay it to sick up the content on the platform.

How do you get an email address for a library that is actually monitored by a human that would respond?

Honest question, why? If you're already on kbin that is your account. What is the reason to have another separate account on mastodon?

Tinder I get, but Instagram for hookups? Cmon now.
