@LunaFoxgirlVT @aeva agreed but I now realize I was in a position to engineer that capability and had a responsibility to at least advocate we did so.

@LunaFoxgirlVT @aeva instead of aiding in following the letter, I should have been the keeper of the spirit.

@aeva what else could you violate?

@aeva I worked on a commercial device that shipped with some PC software & the embedded device sources were just packaged on that CD.

There was definitely no feasible way for the customer/end user or even manufacturer to update that code without removing a bunch of silicone and soldering on a serial interface, but you know, "letter of the law". Back then I was just happy to be putting another penguin off the end of a production line.

Now, I am conflicted with a few decisions made above me.

@alcinnz "...Maybe I'm just too dumb to even realise what the problem is. That's certainly a possibility."

Or too smart.

All of those proposed solutions imply much more technical knowledge than open phone/web scroll click, scroll type, scroll, doom scroll, jape, retweet, harass, stalk & so on.

Reducing the general publics barrier to entry for global publishing, reach, access, and validation is what keeps these services alive for a few years until their policies or users get to be unbearable.
