@xssfox I know the subcontractor that does that kind of work with the TSA in the US. I wouldn't trust them to code their way out of a paper bag, so I can only imagine they're now hugely into AI "solutions" of dubious efficacy
@xssfox haven't flown since transing. Definitely not looking forward to it.(I've gotten pat-downs before, because the machine thought I had too much hair, and they thought I might be hiding something in it)
@shitpostalotl @august technically yes: if you press keys too fast, you'll be shocked so much that you'd be unable to keep pressing keys! but that'll vary from person to person, of course... (this is definitely a joke, to be clear)
@drsbaitso ugh. we'd have to install a whole thing to level-shift between DC and The Ether, and that's a big hassle, especially since any parts containing phlogiston are heavily restricted, what with the ozone hole an' all.
@foone I'm not in love with it either. I've learned to say "text or WhatsApp me" when exchanging numbers with someone and they can just latch onto whichever option they understand best
@foone I have literally just started reading this series and I'm loving it. I just wish there was a way to keep the Kindle app and my paperback copy in sync...
