@bruces There should be a second button for "just delete enough that they won't be able to recreate me without splicing in some frog DNA"
@beebrookshire Incredible that people don't notice this by themselves. The damn things will say anything except "I don't know". You wouldn't put up with this from an employee or colleague for even a day, yet people already losing jobs to these things.
@mshelton Well there goes my investigative tactic of just using the username "Mom"
@ColinTHFC I saw a proposal to do basically that with one of those barges they bought to house asylum seekers.
@jmaris They defeated the Massif Central. But at what cost? At. What. Cost????
@alexlunaview Because the EU famously likes having its chain jerked.
You may not be given the option. Certainly not with the same long list of broad accommodations and carve-outs.
@annaghughes Oh won't someone think of the ants
(teasing. this was nice to read.)
Good thinking. I'm just going to redirect to something called "dream journals of the woefully unmedicated". Enjoy the next generation of AI hallucinated content.
(... reads blog entry. Quietly whimpers something that sounds like "any IP blackhole lists?")
@neurologo @juniyonul @bruces
It depends what you mean by "easier". You may not understand the position that some professionals and academics are in.. The US has only been an autocracy for three months, and people, companies and institutions haven't adapted yet. These things don't change overnight.
The time is rapidly approaching when international conferences will no longer book the US, but for a time there will still be people who need/want to go to the US for some part of their career, and right now they have hard choices to make.

I don't keep much work on my laptop; it's basically a thin client for office servers, VMs, remote desktops, etc. If it's possible to do your work/presentation via a network tunnel or VPN, probably best to do that. Perhaps not even bring a computer, ask them to make one available to you.
@juniyonul @bruces
I wasn't suggesting bringing a computer, let alone the one you backed it up to.
