Tesla has a ceo that is arguably evil, his companies flaunt labour laws and he is actively trying to make the world a worse place through multiple means.
The HP writer makes mean tweets and complains women use her bathroom.
Both are bad people, but not even remotely at the same level.
To be honest, selling copied games also paid for my games, my CD writer and then some when I was 14-15. Took ages to copy a single CD, and it would regularly fail, but friends happily paid me 10 euro for a working copy of the latest fifa.
The father complained that his daughter got refused entry into Canada and was then detained in the US. If she would have had the correct paperwork for Canada, nothing would've happened.
But I agree, my rant is a bit out of place in here. Not the right place to relieve stress about dealing with entitled white people :)
While the US is going batshit insane, fuck white people that ignore visa requirements.
Most countries have very clear visa regulations, especially for short term visas. If you travel to the US and Canada as a European white person and you get refused entry because your paperwork is not OK, that is entirely on you. I deal with those entitled people on the regular. It's satisfying to see them not being able to use their white card. L2read and prepare.
If you're not white and European, that's a different story unfortunately...
(and just to be clear, I absolutely do not agree with what Drumpf is doing, the guy and his cronies and enables are criminals...)
To be honest, books are the only form of media I don't pirate. They deserve my money.
Sucks that I have to use big shops to get them digital, but it's so easy...
You don't mind seeing naked titties if they're from some random model stolen online? But lord, the horror if a girl a tries to make a living from selling pictures and a fantasy without getting ripped off by big companies.
The brainpower some lemmings expend on absolutely trivial things always keeps boggling my mind tbh.
While it was an interesting read, the article is quite outdated and the author is overly negative of literally everything, not just privacy. If a browser has a glowy button, it's horrible because it's too fancy... I feel for the guy...
I'd just take a clear stance on something right from the bat, doesn't matter what. AI is always needlessly careful when you ask it to pick a favorite color/food/soccer team/religion/skincolor/country/...
The weird thing is that once you get a foot in the door, Japanese immigration policies actually aren't that strict. You just need a guarantor (company) to be willing to hire you.
The language barrier and hesitancy of companies to hire non-Japanese is the actual barrier, not so much the immigration policies themselves. The government could ofcourse encourage companies to hire foreigners...but Japan changes at a glacial pace.
I'm sure they'll be ready to deal with the new world under trump by 2035-40
