Master/slave in the context of IT has absolutely nothing to do with slavery, black people, etc. So yes, it is political.

Actually there are legitimate arguments that master/slave in this context (IT) are precisely tied to slavery.

Yes, but not _black_ slavery. It's not inherently racist terminology.

Those legitimate arguments are themselves not in in the context of IT, though. They lie in the intersection of word semantics, etymology and the racial politics of the extreme left.

Yes which is why this won't ever happen. It should just be illegal to wholly terminate an account. If someone is breaking ToS, ban them from doing the ToS breaking thing like posting or commenting. No reason to terminate the entire account.

This is, in general, Valve's approach with Steam users. A user cheats on servers using Valve Anti-Cheat? Banned from all of those servers, but not from the games themselves. A user spams heinous garbage in the forums? Banned from posting in the forums. I think one of the only things that will actually get an entire account disabled is charging back a purchase.

Paraphrasing what I saw somewhere

> If I go to thing W, X, Y, and Z (where those are distinct elements with distinct fans), people within those cohorts will be indistinguishable but I will likely be the only person who has been to all 4. Therefore, you can easily identify individuals. FLoC is a crock of shit. At least you could block 3rd party cookies

You can block FLoC: switch to Firefox, or at least to any Chromium derivative that isn't Chrome.

I think you can enable/disable FLoC via chrome://settings/privacy or chrome://flags.

See: https://github.com/WICG/floc/issues/103#issuecomment-8218146...

Then again, FLoC is only enabled "in a limited set of circumstances" anyways.

For details on said circumstances, see: https://github.com/WICG/floc#qualifying-users-for-whom-a-coh...

Fatality is not everything. Plenty of people are walking around with permanent lung, heart, etc damage. Get your damn vaccines!

All organ damage heals around six months unless you had an C-ARDS diagnoses or chronic deficiency of Nicotinic Acid.

over 200m doses administered in the US. Its fine.

America is definitely different from most countries I would not say exceptional though. They still have no healthcare for people who aren't rich, daily mass shootings, and the politicians are just plain corrupt (and retarded).

It is awesome if you are rich, which I am now, but man it sucked when I was poor.

What are the awesome things for the rich?

Well not caring about prices for one. I don't look at price tags for every day things, I just buy them. Healthcare is much easier as you get more access and can just pay for better doctors. For example, my psychiatrist is 700/hr compared to a shitty insurance accepting psych. Mental health on insurance in general is terrible.

Just in general, life is easy when you have money. Its not the case in other countries because they are more equal, so in that respect America is exceptional. Really sucks for everyone else though

$700/hour for a psychiatrist? That is shockingly high, is it not?

I guess you don't understand that software updates contain.... software updates.

How surprising. You should probably read up on what changes come with the latest OS updates before being mad at Apple for... whatever reason.

This is a great idea and I would encourage EVERYONE to do this. Please try to push people to privacy respecting browsers like Safari or Firefox. The fewer people use chrome/chromium, and google products in general, the better.

Companies have no incentive to keep their status page accurate. I mean look at AWS, its always green!

Pycharm is fucking slow and it is really annoying to use different IDEs for different languages. vscode is better in every way, and free. I just don't understand why people use jetbrains anymore.
