BTW, thank you all of you for helping me keep my sanity during hard times about four years ago. You really helped me go through dark times. https://www.enworld.org/threads/comfort-media-recommendations.686651/

My signature is not my name. It is a series of scribbles that originally followed the digits of a number (this many strokes in this direction, this many in the other direction... ) but I don't even remember the name anymore. Though two custom symbols representing my family name are hidden...

A proper exposition of my side of things requires bringing examples that far exceed the constraints of these forums. Just notice that lack of annonimity hasn't stopped bad people from doing power grabs abd stuff happened before social media was a thing. And if all you can think is to fear the...

Too bad I'm in "don't spend money" phase for at least three more weeks.

You see, every year the Department of Headlines audits all newspapers to make sure they use the rules for headlines correctly, and if they don't, the editor has to repeat fourth grade.... n_n

I don't fear a post-truth world, I fear surveillance so intrusive that it makes the social credit system look like a liberal paradise in comparison. I'm not afraid of truth dying out, I'm more afraid of people right now dying out for telling the truth and in the future for daring to seek the...

You really live in a bit of a sheltered environment. This stuff sounds very dystopic. I wouldn't trust my government with this degree of power. Once they have the power to single out individuals in connection with speech, they have the tools to get rid of any dissent no matter how small and...

Not to dump on the profesion,n ot wanting to imply most do, but more than just outliers.

So far, yes. The problem is not being able to tell, the problem is being able to prove it.

Unethical? Very much. Unenforceable? Not if it is the only way to get key documents for the course and even deliver assignments. Illegal? In your country, perhaps. Even if illegal, the National University here has a hard time enforcing its own bylaws.

I was thinking more of labor laws.

Cool climate, nice valleys, and the less bad state for being a worker. Seriously, you guys live in an awful corporate dystopia.

As I said, it isn't happening.

Ironically, I always thought, if I ever were to move to the States -and I know it ain't happening-, I would have chosen Montana, but not for their lack of regulations.

If you had been a student in the last few years, odds are you would have been forced by at least one teacher too in love with new technologies, or the control they can have by forcefully making their students follow their Facebook page or Instagram. Being forced is relative, I guess. Nobody so...

That's the beauty of it. The lawsuit targets wouldn't be huge companies with cash to burn. It would be underfunded school districts and no-name colleges.

I keep this fantasy where, after more and more studies come forward, people start suing colleges and schools for subjecting them to AI and making them dumber. And then we all are left alone by the AI peddlers.

It has killed the dedicated healer as a viable playable archetype.

My first thought was of the Silent Zone, but that is a very different kind of zone.
