You’re thinking of Pro Thunderball

Yeah, wanting to keep that private just seems shady and like it should be a major red flag

Don’t underestimate their creativity when it comes to making things worse for the plebs

So they confidentially go public. Makes sense lol

I bet they end up using a fucking llm

Police exist to protect capital. Once you realize that, it makes perfect sense.

Yeah I had similar thoughts when I saw this in the article:

The fusion center, housed inside the Philadelphia Police Department, warned that “disruptive First Amendment activity” is an “indicator” of risk from “Domestic Violent Extremists,” an expansive term favored by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.

We really do live in a dystopia

It literally has accomplished change though. Numerous times.

believe whatever you want, i dont care

I think you’re actually confused about what it is I believe.

What I initially said was that, if I join a class action suit, it’s not because I’m looking for a payout, but rather that I want to punish the corporation, and possibly push them (and the government) to enact real, lasting change.

I also said that it’s not even a good way to change things, let alone the best.

Honestly, I fucking wish. Give me a soma vacation plz

Why do you think Roe v Wade is a bad example? It made abortion legal for like 50 years.

Sure bud, just ignore:

Brown v. The Board of Education that resulted in the desegregation of all public schools in the US.

The “Scopes Monkey Trial” is why US public schools are even allowed to teach evolution.

Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement which resulted in outlawing advertising tobacco products on billboards and during sporting events, and brought in over $200 billion to states for medical expenses related to smoking.

Both the Enron and WorldCom suits led directly to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The Agent Orange suit by Vietnam vets that led directly to the Agent Orange Act of 1991.

Etc.

It seems like you think I believe that this is the best and only way for things to change, which is literally the exact opposite of what I said.

ok but you recognize they wont change their policy right?

Except that, historically, there are countless examples of class action suit resulting in large and impactful changes to entire industries.

These sites lists a few, but you can search yourself:

(The URL for this one does suggest that there might be some bias, however I’m pretty sure the cases listed are all real)

It’s not perfect, and probably not even close to the best way to do this kind of thing… But it can work

While generally true, sometimes it is about the principle of it, and the only way it makes sense to address it is through class action.

If I join in on a class action suit, it’s more about making the company pay (and hopefully changing their, and others’, policy to avoid future lawsuits), than getting a check for $8.25 in the mail 3 years down the line.

I think Excel has more functionality than any of the FOSS alternatives, unfortunately. It’s some pretty powerful software.

Yeah I remember when they introduced the ribbon and I hated it. Now I prefer it

“This is the most transparent war department in history. No amount of spin from the Fake News media will change that,” Jose Valdez, the acting defense department press secretary, said in a social media post.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

misremembered

Oh fuck off

Yeah, that’s a major problem with LLMs. The fact that you can ask the exact same question and get an entirely different answer is a huge problem

GOB’s not on board…
