ML models aren't like generating a bunch of if statements.

This is senseless. You can just keep moving the goalpost. If I gave you arguments based on sociological consensus you'd just declare sociology woke groupthink too.

Communicating your stigmas is optional, and rarely does anyone with institutional power demonize you or even attempt to de-facto ban you from public life for it.

I am extremely obviously trans, I can't opt out of being beaten up because some conservative talking head said people like me are all pedophiles. And if the GOP had their way I'd be illegal anywhere a 10 year old could be as "inherently sexual".

Because Twitter policy wasn't informed by a single person until now.

Paradox of tolerance.

Arguably, that model is already dying in favor of what Adobe already does: Maximum extraction from everyone who doesn't have price sensitivity and scraps for everyone else.

Magic The Gathering for is releasing a set with 60 random non-tournament legal cards for $1000, while thinning supply for their previously most popular product (Draft boosters) in favor of more "premium" products with eye-watering prices.

Overwatch 2 has moved on to charging $20+ for their skins and limits essentially all progression to a non-randomized Battlepass that requires you to turn the game into your second job to complete. In OW1, loot boxes were awarded regularly and contained enough currency that a few hours of play could get you any of the now $20 skins.

Mobile games figured out that the top 1% of consumers of entertainment media can pay for the bulk of it if you just ask for prices asinine enough. I guess we'll see if barring the other 99% from all optional content will lead to dives in player populations.

It depends a lot on your base image. If you use Debian locked to a release, you'll likely get the same Apache version plus small fixes / security fixes (whatever the exact Debian policy is).

That's not reproducible in the sense of "reproducible software", but it is usually good enough to build other things on top of.

If you want reproducible in the sense of unchaging/same digest, you should make a custom base image with the things you never want to change and pull it from somewhere.

I'm not sure what you mean by "snapshot" when most docker images are instructions to (more or less) reproducibly create an image.

I hope you don't COPY your entire system into the container at least.

Do you think perfect opsec is a realistic target for your average human being (especially outside the tech bubble) or did you just want to victim blame?

The fact that twitch streamers still regularly get their addresses leaked despite taking appropriate measures shows how impossible of a standard this is.

I'm not sure what reality you live in, but I had decided long before I told anyone at work and they still kept misgendering and deadnaming me regularly without me magically getting them fired. The only solution really is to switch jobs and never tell them your prior name.

The only exception to this is very obvious malice. Everything else is more likely to get you fired if you complain to HR than them.

Gab is simply irrelevant in the big picture.
