So... Same as it's been since the war on terror began in 2001?
Oh, now they can assassinate white people in first world countries, not just drop bombs on weddings in mideast countries. I see. Totally makes all the difference.
(I am feeling very cynical here haha, I get this is a big significant legal precedent for the USA but yeah)
She did the request for her own info because she suspected staff were dragging their heels with her other requests, and the request for her own info proved her suspicions were well-founded.
Asking for information on how a section of government operates should be commended, not discouraged. The government works for the people and their operations should be transparent. Doubly so when they act like they have something to hide.
But, Ive been a staff member who had a bad day and found a customer's legitimate request frustrating - "this is the last thing I needed" - so I have some level of sympathy for the staffers too.
In my country we've had these electronic labels for many years, using them was part of my first real job a decade ago. And here they definitely can be updated centrally, and in near real time.
Mayor says the city will stop using tech by the end of 2024.
Tech is still operational in April 2024 (8 months before the end of 2024).
Breathless expose article showing that the tech is still in use.
Profit???
This behaviour is why I roll my eyes when the edge fanbois are all like "iTs AlL cHrOmE aNyWaY".
Fuck any company that uses their power to try trick people into using their software, yes including google.

If they can't work out how to use the internet to stream a video, maybe they should be banned from operating cars which rely on remote control video operation once a mile?
Ah yes, a 650k company for a company making billions.
Proprtionate to my own income, that's like $50 fine. Pathetic.
I think that's because you're used to hearing dates said that way? Over here in DDMMYY-land, we often would say "20th of May, 2024" and that sounds equally sensical to me tbh
If Im reading the GitHub history right, this PR was accepted at age 3 years and 1 day? Guess the cake worked!
Absolute garbage of a study - participants had no option to select that they were single?! Of course people will say they're in a relationship if there is literally no other option!
Those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it - and this crazy lady seems doomed to repeat it.
If there's a budget problem and you're spending more than your fair share, negotiate on the budget, don't throw your toys out of the cot and have a temper tantrum and try to leave the most stable military alliance on earth that's the only thing holding Russia and china in check.
(Not an American, not from a NATO country, and not a supporter of Biden in any way, just saying that NATO is a bloody good idea and I'm glad it exists since it seems like the only thing stopping Putin from starting WW3).
Thank you for being a far better person than I, in that you actually give enough of a fuck to remember at least one specific, named person who was murdered in the way I was described.
This is not sarcasm it's a genuine emotional appreciation. I don't have it in me to remember, since all the shit news day in and day out just all blurs together and is too much for me to cope with if I tried to remember, but I'm glad someone is.
