I’m guessing what you’re suggesting is that Google’s proposal is the same as requiring all packages be signed and accompanied by an Extended Validation or Oragnisation Validation X.509 certificate.

While that would technically work, the problem with using the existing PKI is that it’s still very expensive to get EV/OV certificates. And the most common of these certs (those for TLS purposes) will soon only last 47 days which is, to put it mildly, would be a pain in the ass to use for package-signing.

“Management” like there are ever more than 2 people working at a 7-Eleven

While AI obviously is not perfect and is flawed in many ways, having AI sift through the torrent of comments and then flag problematic submissions for human review is likely going to be extremely effective with minimal false positives. Though I do say this as a person whose Reddit account is currently banned for 3 days for “inciting violence” because of a knife-based joke.

I’m not underselling anything. I believe a quick napkin calculation will show that it’s roughly in the right ballpark.

• Private jet: 100 million USD each (reference)
• Superyacht: 500 million USD each (reference)
• Sports car: 150 thousand USD each (reference)
• Mansion: 10 million USD each (reference)

Total: 741 million USD

Most billionaires keep most of their wealth in actual investments (stock, bonds, Caymanian bank accounts, swimming pools filled with gold coins). Though this information is not public, let us assume that only 10% of their wealth is contained within these “lifestyle” objects, which is likely an overestimation. This would give us a total of 7.4 billion USD

Given the actual average wealth of a billionaire to be 5.3 billion USD (reference), I maintain the objects I have described accurately describe what a typical billionaire would be able to afford (if not slightly more than they could afford, actually).

It’s not reasonably possible to own the stuff on the left without being a billionaire. All of that would cost hundreds of millions.

I read it as “Let’s end anti-consumerism” and thought “Well that’s a brave thing to post on Lemmy of all places”

I thought the giveaway here was that the Pokémon is named “Bidet”, but all wild Pokémon are named whatever their species is (“Piplup”), meaning this one is already caught and was given a nickname by its trainer.

Why have I got the suspicion this is fetish content of some sort

What are the implications of this?
