The "I don't mind, I have nothing to hide" people are cheering this on. They don't know or care about any of the things you just said.
Best angle with that crowd is that insurance companies are going to screw them over with all the data.

This theory of yours in which Jokic is yet to become very famous and wealthy, what alternative universe is it set in?
This is why I don’t comment on the internet anymore. You exist in the alternative reality in which every back and forth is a polarized ridiculous showdown.
Jokic is not famous outside of basketball. The Saudi’s would make him so wealthy he’d seem poor today by comparison.

It's weird because almost all of the levels below the NBA are better games than the NBA. Nobody really goes out of their way to follow AAA baseball teams, but college basketball and even some high schools are great games.
The pet theory is that the NBA is a RNG for gambling now the game isn't really the game. TV is near death, so gambling is the only source of revenue that can possibly replace the big TV deal.
My theory is that it’s only a matter of years before the Saudi’s launch a league. It’ll scoop up a large swath of international players including NBA superstars. Jokić becomes very famous and wealthy.

Behind the ball by 15 years to start taking this seriously and beginning to think about pushing back, but better late than never.
Next please reign in the CRAs.
I think Snowden was bang on when in 2013 he warned us of a last chance to fight for some basic digital privacy rights. I think there was a cultural window there which has now closed.
It's for this already present feature that they want to expand to other products and that's why they need even more content to repurpose https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/generative-fill.... You are literally paying them to steal your work and the content of your clients.
Here is my sort of contrarian take looking at this as a freelance designer who pays the bills with Adobe tools.
Im happy to prosper from the work of other commercial artists while feeding the pool. I’ve used a combination of Bing Image Generator and Adobe’s tools to streamline a bunch of work flows and a lot of the pain points in my day have been smoothed over and made delightful. For me these AI tools are like an ergonomic upgrade, literally saving my eye sight.
Regarding sensitive files, I don’t have any hardcore NDA clients but I guess I’d wait for their legal team to care and carry on. Isn’t Windows itself compromised this much?

> For me, having a home office, home computer lab, gardening, astronomy, hiking, casual birdwatching, and turning pieces of wood and metal into sawdust and metal chips are all important and completely incompatible with apartment living.
Why is hiking incompatible with apartment living?
Probably has a stick collection.
I guess the annoyance is they said never, changed their mind, and auction the ticket off.
If I were the factory owner, I would reserve a ticket for him and give a discounted price to thank for his idea.
Depending on the trade secrets involved it could be a paranoid choice made in an area that rewards paranoia.
Maybe having somebody reach out for a tour was just red flaggy enough. I agree it’s weird and kind of crummy to then offer an auction up.
The usual suspects: high cost of living, corp jobs sucking people dry, fear of uncertain future, all seem reasonably valid.
But no one seems willing to suggest that maybe people today are just so self centered, that they don't want such a distraction from minecraft/halo/call of doodoo.
If people can't manage to look out of the windshield of the car they're driving for more than 11 seconds at a stretch, because it's distracting from their cell phone usage, when their life is literally endangered, why would they choose to take on a lifelong commitment to another child besides themselves?
With a 6 year old around you can play so much Minecraft your eyes will bleed.
