for a family of 4 it would cost almost $700 to get passports

You lost me there for a moment. In France, a biometric passport costs 86 € (~$100) for 18+ people, 42 € (~$49) for kids between 15-17, and 17 € (~$20) for people younger than 15. It lasts 10 years for adults, and if you renew your national ID card and passport at the same time, you only pay for one (ID card alone is 25 €, ~$29).

$700 for a family of 4 sounds insane. But if there’s no incentive, I guess I get it. I basically kept using my passport for a few decades instead of having an ID card, so it feels more natural to me.

Compare that to a European who could travel 100 km on the train and be in another country.

We don’t need a passport to go to most other European countries, fortunately.

It’s not “all out there”, unless you let it go out there.

Most interaction with people on privacy-hostile services are out there, yes. But that’s far from “all”.

Is it that uncommon to have a passport in the US? That’s basically part of the common ID paper you’d have here.

Storage space, ensuring quality settings, supporting more device than “your tv”, smaller bandwidth requirements.

Great. Now they’ll have to do more work to remove the flowers.

What, you think parents should watch over their kid and provide them interaction? What is this, year 1200?

Either prayers don’t work, or they make god super duper angry.

One of them couldn’t digest cheese, so they had to go.

I sense a secret underlying passion for dairy product, barely hidden beind the gamer introduction.

Yeah, I’m not watching a video with no description nor informative title, about an unknown topic, linked from a social media post that also says absolutely nothing about whatever is in there.

Three level clickbait/dark pattern engagement tactics are so 2020.

Don’t invite them? If you know what’s going to happen, and you don’t like it, avoid it.

Most of the time when I see a “community note” I mentally picture the people doing a slight facepalm and sighing. This one seems it’d require a two-hand facepalm.

I’ll never put foot on that hellhole again, but it would be funny if this was something he posted on twitter and grok showed up to “correct” him.

Yes, but under the promise that you won’t be under any kind of protection if it happens again in a few years.

Plot twist: they can, and will, do it even if you opt out. The only thing that change is that you won’t get anything out of it. Not that it would have been a significant return to begin with.

I was being generous. For some reasons, when I try voice recognition it triggers as if I’m speaking Japanese. And when I actually try to speak Japanese, I get english gibberish.

Hey, when I have Iron man Jarvis-like chatting me up, running locally, and never ever messing anything up, I’ll be impressed.

So far I have semi-competent voice transcription, borked understanding, incorrect action 4/5 of the time, underwhelming, if not broken output, and most of the time this bad version is dependent on a datacenter that’s aiming at obliterating a star worth of power every two hours.

I WONDER why this is not seen as impressive.

Better than seeing weird letters and 80 style colored geometric shape sliding around.

I’m not sure they all choose.

Didn’t we have this discussion like, a month ago, when this happened somewhere else? And a month earlier than that? And another month earlier than that?

Hopefully, the pushback will keep coming alongside with it. That’s shitfuckery level of a stupid proposal.
