Two party consent laws in California come down to a “reasonable expectation of privacy” and that has been worked out in the legal system over time to be pretty much any place with an open door or window, even a conference room inside a private business is fair game if the door is open to the hallway.

I’d recommend trying Ollama+OpenCode to DIY removals. It can at least help find the sites and their removal request pages, but then you’d need to solve captchas and do the requests.

–

Some of these PII removal companies go to great lengths to request removals on your behalf without providing ANY additional information that the data broker does not already have.

The problem is that nobody can tell which PII removal companies act responsibly and which ones are merely data brokers themselves.

Even the ones trying their best to not distribute more information about you need only to screw that up once, and that single incident of human error leads to a neverending cycle of leaks between downstream data brokers.

It’s the perfect industry for local AI agents to replace, but the only way to know you’re properly requesting removals without making matters worse is to do it yourself.

Emotions are each examples of a continuum. You can be any level of sad or happy or angry, etc.

I’m not sure the distinction of spectrum from continuum is useful for understanding the world though. It’s just conversationally helpful.

Perhaps everything is a continuum but we just manufacture a spectrum so we can classify people for our own ease of conversation.

This would make a really cool art installation where you start at the top of a multistory building and keep walking through and turning right before going downstairs to the next room where you walk through and turn right before going downstairs to the next room… Etc etc.

If all the furniture got progressively smaller as the walls and ceilings progressively closed in, it would feel just like this picture.

Or you could leave everything the same size and it would still make for a surreal experience going down, through, right, down, through, right, etc until popping out into the street - at that last set of stairs you’d be certain the door in front of you would lead straight into the identical living room from every other floor. Seeing the street instead would be a real mindfuck.

There are a bunch of online tools that are free and let you upload a PDF to have it go through OCR.

Just Google “Free PDF OCR” and click through all the ads to upload, then give them a temporary email address to get a download link to the finished product.

Hot tip: There are free temporary email address sites too, if you need one to avoid getting on their ad lists.

I wonder if you could capture a high quality, multitrack recording of this emergence event to get a multidimensional audio sample from unique times/geographies where these groups emerge.

With an audio sample that could only come from this specific event every 200+ years, you could set up a program that survives your own death and triggers only when it happens again.

I’m not sure what the utility would be, but I’d watch it on Netflix for sure.

When you have privacy settings, what you really have is a lie.

It starts out with good intentions, like those in this post, but eventually everyone forgets that the platform still sees your posts and does not give a shit about selling them.

I would rather acknowledge from the very beginning that this entire system is not private, so there is never such a misunderstanding.

Everyone should post and comment with caution, just like you use caution with what you say in public places.

If you tear the bun, you’ve got a sandwich on your hands for sure!

Nope! It has bread on three sides, so it’s a taco.

Sandwiches only have bread on two sides.

I am always telling people this in the is-a-hotdog-a-sandwich debate, and this diagram makes it abundantly clear:

A hotdog is a taco.

Didn’t these jokers already try to overthrow their capital city, angling for a total annexation of Ukraine within the first few days of the conflict?

If Ukraine had not fought back, it’s statehood would have been history over a year ago.

Here’s an idea: Work the bare minimum you can until you are about 30 years old.

Then, cram training content online that current senior managers don’t know anything about(because they’ve been heads down grinding for a decade), inflate your resume(nobody is checking your references), and take their jobs.

It’s not a path to Director/VP that any of these influencers will endorse, but it’s tried and true. You can just ignore all their try hard BS and land in the same salary range when you need it.

I’ve tried it, and I ate the whole plate, but I wouldn’t do it again.

Raw chicken tastes like it smells, and it’s just inferior to every other sashimi - not outright repulsive, but just not as good.

I honestly don’t understand how those specialty chicken sashimi places stay in business. I guess there must be an audience for it, but I can’t imagine why.

You can attack the system and while you do that, there are people under 18 years old who are just trying to provide for themselves or their dependents and need a job now.

They have adult responsibilities before the age of 18. A lot of the commenters outright refuse to believe that these legal minors could have possibly matured earlier than the law expects, but that really does happen and it really is socially irresponsible to ignore their struggle.

Most commenters are essentially holding this series of positions based on a photo that is out of context: Why does this kid have a job? The system is bad. Why is the system bad? Some kids have jobs. How can we stop kids from working? We should outlaw jobs for kids.

But that series of positions critically fails to account for exceptions where kids become competent before the age of 18, need jobs and want to work.

It ignores that, in reality, many minors have kids of their own or other dependents that they are struggling to support and it does not provide any plan for them, it makes their situation worse while you fight the system.

That is inhumane public policy. Like many areas of law, this is a complicated issue, and we are going to harm people in our communities if we jump to strict authoritarian control for an answer.

This comment deserves an award. Mods should pin it to the top of the thread, because the majority of comments are totally divorced from their neighbors’ struggle to survive in our imperfect economy.

This is the first time I’ve encountered such extreme and immovable opinions on Lemmy. It’s wild to me that people who are (presumably) trying to support social justice for minors cannot even acknowledge that teenagers sometimes need and would prefer to work - that it’s a separate issue from child abuse and strict authoritarian prohibition over their labor is itself abusive.

Don’t people understand that a 17 year old can have a baby and need a job?

They won’t even entertain the possibility and defend an actual policy position. It’s devoid of social responsibility.

If they are genuinely socialist or communist, then how can they defend stripping 14-18 year olds of their natural right to profit from their own labor? It’s just as bad as a capitalist exploiting that labor with unlivable wages - they are essentially condemning these people to $0 in wages and total state dependence.

Perfectly reasonable!

Are all jobs bad because someone else skims part of the profit? Or is it just bad to you because it’s a person under 18?

Just trying to sort out whether you are for eliminating all work or just work for minors?

If it’s just work for minors, would you support any exceptions?

Like, for example, for an emancipated 17 year old with a baby of their own to support?

It sounds like you are using a legal framework from medical treatment of minors. If I have that right, then you should know that there is an exception for emancipated people under 18 years of age.

Would you support the same exception for work, now that you know this or perhaps you would also eliminate this exception for them to control their own bodies in a medical context?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4008301/#:~:text=A child under the age,(and refuse) medical treatment.

Court-ordered emancipation. A child under the age of 18 who lives independently without the support of parents and makes his or her own day-to-day decisions may petition the court for emancipation. If granted, the minor will have the same legal rights as an adult, including the right to consent to (and refuse) medical treatment.

It sounds like you are equating any job to getting sexually abused or raped.

That is “like… Yuck”.

It’s an irrelevant comparison because the work itself is not abuse. There are other laws that protect kids from being abused, if they are being abused to force them to work(or for any other purpose).

If you don’t care what people under 18 think, you should reflect on how selfish and closed-minded that sounds to me and especially to the real human people you are proposing to lose their ability to work.

Do you really think there is a major difference between the brain of a 17 year old the day before their 18th birthday and the day after? There is no significant difference at all.

So, my question is, where do you draw the line for a person under 18 whose quality of life might depend on working? Should they just have that freedom stripped because you don’t care what they think?

Even if they are on their own? Or supporting a dependent, like their own baby? Really? If you are that authoritarian about this, I hope you forget to vote on it.
