@arstechnica A shame we are now at the stage whereby just not ripping people off is seen as the height of morality.

@girlonthenet Well, all he's done is make an arse of himself and oversimplify a complex issue. Far be it for me to engage in whataboutery either, but there's plenty of light fingered goings on in his own country, some of which is happening right now.

@Gargron This may well have been Mastodon's "Now he is a footballer" moment.

"'I was misidentified as shoplifter by #FacialRecognition tech...'

"...[Sara] says after her bag was searched she was... banned from all stores using the #Technology.

"I was just crying and crying the entire journey home… 'Oh, will my life be the same? I'm going to be looked at as a shoplifter when I've never stolen'.

"#Facewatch later wrote to Sara and acknowledged it had made an error..."

@nixCraft The Greps of Wrath?

@Gargron High level infiltration.

@Gargron Physical media, as I have said before, is not obsolete. It's just being marketed that way.

@nixCraft I still think this is the greatest name for an application, ever.

Apparently, the #DailyMail has just launched "Woke Watch", where red faced pillocks send in angry e-mails, complaining about transgender asylum seekers giving their house prices pronoun cancer, or something.

Anyway, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should one e-mail wokewatch@dailymail.co.uk to #Troll, #Shitpost or just plain take the piss. No, that would be WRONG. Oh, for shame!
