  • Even before today’s news of Biden stepping down, I feel the public party infighting about him/trump/ect instead of getting anything of substance into the news stream is an indication the current democratic party is over. As in effectively not a party.

    Thus to add to AOC’s comment: A very bad time for this as our system has two semi stable states… 2 party rule… Or one party rule. (Sure outside groups/parties can and do help mold the main parties to their actual policy goals, but and if are popular enough get merged in or replace a main party)

    This means can a new party grow out of the ashes of current one and actually organize in time for the election. (Obviously this “new” party gets to use the name/infrastructure of the one I’m calling over so may just look from the outside a shuffle of administration if fast… And it needs to be fast)

    And while I was happy to vote for Biden, and now presumably Harris, the lack of strength I see from Democrats on policy very much concerns me. (Not even it needs to be as far left as many on here seem to want it but it must be functional… So those more left can debate actual policy… Not that issues even exist… Or ignoring it all together)

    One sliver of hope is this can be used to pivot the talking points back on track… But given the media climate I am not hopeful.



  • Ask yourself what this feature is actually useful for. Ignore the concerns of privacy just what can this really do.

    Its not really needed for copilot, if it wanted to capture what you were doing it would directly update the internal model, no reason for the slide show of your action.

    No besides wasteing disk space this is for:

    1. Gaming youtubers to get a screen shot of something when they were not recording
    2. Some screen shots of history when searching not better than the file/website preview really
    3. Tracking and logging what the end user is doing so when audited by the manager/it they can use it as proof you are not doing it right/are inefficient /should ve fired

    By all means a company can disable this in policy im sure, but its for the enterprise not the end user. (and yes stored locally, but if you delete the laptop when they want to inspect it that likely is all the excuse they need)


  • Many EU countries have freedom to roam laws to allow access accross undeveloped private property, this includes as you said camping as long as you leave the land as found.

    In the US i know of no state allowing such, and the ability of the person traversing the land to sue the owner means the default is no treasspassing signs everywhere. this isnt to say if you were unsure if the land was private and there is no sign/indicator of tresspassing you coulding walk through but that isnt strictly giving you the right to access the land

    in western States quite a bit of land is federally owned and behaves more like right to roam, this has made odd cases there is a cheker board patern between two federal land areas and private property and what to do when a hunter says steps over the corner of the private properties between the two public access areas.
