I doubt anyone would prosecute over it, it would get thrown out of court because it's so petty? No worse than littering, etc.

No more theft than putting a solar panel under a street light that's shining on your property.

People on that forum are trying to call this "stealing", which is ridiculous. This involves less that 1 watt of power. The law should not concern itself with trifles. It's more of a health and safety issue than any "thef

This might just be the same thing as apocalyptic religious predictions, I think? But environmentalism this time?

The human species might have a built in self-destruct / self-limiting mechanism, which is world war, possibly nuclear war, which might end up saving the planet in the really long term?

I'm super super low carbon footprint, personally. All ARM-based computers here, just Raspberry PIs and tablets, that can run from a portable solar panel if I want. Very few possessions too. I love coding and freedom so much more that h

And in the really long term that's completely unsustainable. So it's like a pyramid scheme scam, it requires a constant influx of new entrants. Whilst destroying the planet. I guess people even have their pension funds tied up int

Does anyone know if this has been patented? When digestive biscuits first came out in 1890, they were patented.

Of course, you get utterly depraved individuals who do absolutely atrocious things, e.g. cannibalism. You might get a dozen of them over the decades. And cults that can be nasty and do terrible things. But the moral panic is where we see it

I didn't single out a specific race, I think, I just mentioned that it was that specific region of the world where the problem was located. As far as I'm aware it was nothing to do with discrimination because of a specific charact

I am confused as to how discouraging procreation is racist?

Yes, for me it's because of childrens' rights, I don't want my kids to potentially go through what I went through, including the soul crushing compulsory education system. I feel that natural learning is so much superior, if

It would be nice if we had an open-source eSIM software emulator. However I think this requires secret crypto keys that are only available to chip manufacturers?

The instinct to procreate is obviously very powerful? Also increasing use of birth control in developing countries can improve the situation?

The CO2-induced temperature rise might not be as severe as predicted. I suspect a "moral panic" over climate change. There's huge amounts of money, influence and power to be made exaggerating the problem into a catastrophe, t

Encourage other people (especially if you're in a developing country) not to have too many children. The absolutely unsustainable population levels worldwide are behind the climate and pollution crises. We are an incredibly destructiv

It's taboo to say this, but people worldwide have had far too many children, and I believe that overpopulation is the root of the sustainability crisis, including climate change and pollution. And that taboo is probably rooted in evolu

And how deceiving children is normalized in society, together with even worse forms of mistreatment. Because children are low status and can't fight back, adults and society in general can get away with doing all sorts of unjustified

Spot on, and one god has been described as having symptoms of mental illness too. I also wonder how many "prophets" in religion were actually suffering from paranoid schizophrenia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

Clarified it to say "on Earth". I agree with you there's likely life elsewhere in the Universe.

I'm fairly confident about it because I've seen this pattern before, with moral panics, fairy tales, witch hunts and other group/herd behavior in people throughout history (and modern times as well). Yes, I think it's so

This UFO investigation stuff is just a giant bandwagon, which people get on to for money, influence and power. I don't think there's any extra-terrestrial activity going on here on Earth, period. Maybe elsewhere in the Universe an

Perhaps we should make exceptions for small scale growers? So royalties can only be extracted from those with large scale cultivation, and royalties should be taken from the profits made only.

Absolutely sick. That's like copyrighting a computer virus and prosecuting everyone who has been infected.

In these investigations the authorities are seizing peoples digital devices, which is routine these days. It's about time operating systems actively stop generating unnecessary forensic data. When we delete a file, it should be overwri

There's the chilling effect, people not wanting to protest or organize against government overreach for fear of being put on a watch list. This allows the state to enact more draconian laws with less push back from the general public.

And Microsoft could have just kept the old menu system. With a single click to switch between the ribbon interface and the menu interface. It could have been as simple as that, saving countless users from so much frustration. Instead they d

Yes, and if the intent was to prevent access to emergency services, then yes that would rightfully be a crime. But if the intent was to pull a stupid prank that would temporarily disable someone's iPhone for 5 minutes, then that should
