  • I suppose the issue comes up from the contracts we have created (social and legal contracts).

    For example, marriage comes with some rights and benefits. So if you exclude any group from the ability to take advantage of the benefits, you are creating a system where someone is getting screwed and can be discriminated against.

    A scenario: a spouse making medical choices for you. If you’re with your partner (in whatever form) and they can’t legally make those decisions, and in some case even be allowed to be near you, then there is an injustice. Then there are taxes, property rights, etc.

    The issue in this particular case comes from providing a benefit to a personal relationship. I say get rid of marriage all together.





  • I gotta be honest, I don’t want my mom to be able to install anything from anywhere on her devices. I prefer that she’s locked into Apple’s ecosystem. I do think you should be able to do whatever you want with your hardware (if you’re willing to risk it).

    Informed choice is difficult in this space.

    Then there’s the other things I can imagine. Like the scummy sales people or repair shop installing shit on people’s phones and offering free stuff if they install things. Or all the tiktok ads that will push people to install things that will harvest even more data.
