That may be true. I’m just a stickler for messaging.

You can be part of overthrowing this government in ways big and small. Historically it’s the “small” ways that turn the tide and, more importantly, prevent one tyrannical regime from rolling right into the next.

I meant using FOSS rather than feeding the oligopolists, but I’d say existing outside the US counts, especially if you can find additional ways to starve our economy.

There are a million ways to rebel against the new regime short of armed insurgency. In fact, you are all participating in one of them right now.

Also have you seen the price of couches?

They have (or had) a system for reactivation that involved endorsement from another account. IIRC it was QR code based, so one of my friends would scan my reactivation QR code and a few verification texts later I’d have my account back. The last time I was banned, it was after I hearted one of my friend’s posts about his graduation.

Insofar as everyone likes the wherewithal offered by pronominal and hitherto conjunctive adverbs

What year is it?

Besides the fact that it’s quite difficult to do this non-invasively, giving anyone instant access to any amount of exactly what they want most is dangerous (Edit: likely irresponsible, potentially dangerous, like designing escapist drugs, fine line between helping and hurting, and you must consider both).

Definitely find lack of care on the part of fellow computer scientists irresponsible. I’ve rejected grant followups for thinly veiled weapons research for the same reason; i.e., potential misuse.

What’re you doing, bro-in-law?

Most of my lab mates are Chinese and I joined WeChat because it was what they all used. Everything was fine except my account kept getting banned for no reason. I had assumed it might be because I accidentally turned on a VPN, but ultimately I concluded it was because they didn’t want the intermingling of Chinese and American accounts, which was literally the only reason I was there in the first place.

I don’t see why the concept should be unethical

It’s like engineering drugs specifically targeting reward systems of the brain associated with human emotional development and socialization.

Edit: more explicit

Ah, legend

it would be racist if white people tried to participate

“Racially insensitive,” perhaps, but just trying to participate in someone’s culture is usually pro-social. Only as a form of mockery would I call that racist.

Aristotle would have at least taken a whack at it.
