I don’t really see the need for a location service in the first place. My phone can share my GPS coordinates with first responders in an emergency. For everything else, there’s simply typing in the location I want to know about.

One positive from the pandemic was the realization that in-person conferences are almost always a waste of time and money.

If an online conference goes sideways, it’s easy enough to close the browser and carry on.

Sadly because I have many friends from China, I’ve come to the conclusion that anything sourced in any way from China is likely a product of forced labor. To the extent possible, these days I avoid anything touched by Chinese industry in any way.

Why is this needed? There’s a reason for Mozilla cancelling their service.

Is “not as bad as Google” really a good goal for a project?

Touché. My bad 😕

Aren’t “privacy-friendly” and “location service” mutually exclusive?

Good to see that somebody in Washington still has a sense of decency.

Pardon their debt? Unlikely.

Pardon any conviction for violating state law for non-repayment? No.

Preemptively pardon any conviction for violating federal law for non-repayment? Yes.

The only problem would be that a pardon doesn’t expunge the conviction. So they would still have to deal with a legal record, which may or may not be a real problem.

Useless. Put a face on the problem so that people know who, specifically, to blame for blocking their path to a better life.

Debt indenture is alive and well in the United States of America.

I’m not sure that’s ever been conclusively tested.

Wait. Didn’t the Republican Supreme Court just decided that a president can do anything he damn well wants without consequence? I don’t see the problem. Ignore the 10th and 8th Circuits and implement the program.
