I understand that. You were the one struggling to understand the original commenter and getting hostile because of your misunderstanding.

I was attempting to clarify for you. Frankly, I don’t care what the situation is since I don’t live there and was informed by someone who does that “laws don’t really apply”.

Their first sentence explains their premise.

What I haven’t seen mentioned yet is that we have an established registration and licensing system to streamline identification, ticketing, and consequences for vehicles that bicyclists don’t use.

They’re saying the infrastructure around vehicles has established process which doesn’t exist for cyclists. They’re positing, from my reading, that this is contributing to the disparity in how infractions are handled; that if bicycles had license plates, registration etc. similar to vehicles the current system could be equally applied.

you are asking for the impossible as they did not disclose what service do they use

So you’re applying your own personal preference and beliefs. Saying “all the while this is a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust” is just you applying your preferences and beliefs to someone else’s personal decision.

especially since with every response you sound more and more hostile.

Do I? How so? You made a statement of fact (all the while this is a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust) about someone else’s choice and situation without any information to directly support it (you are asking for the impossible as they did not disclose what service do they use).

Calling my questioning and pushback “hostile” seems like bad-jacketing to me. Maybe you’re getting defensive?

with that in mind, do you think they have control over their information?

It’s not about what I think, they have control over whether to share their location data with a 3rd party or not. By definition that is control. They also have control to stop sharing that data at any time.

Do you have anything to support that the specific system used by the original commenter is using that data in a manner not agreed to when they shared it or in a way that the original commenter doesn’t agree to?

Or are you applying your own personal preferences and beliefs to someone else’s situation?

Privacy generally means the ability to control your personal information and how it’s used, as well as your freedom from intrusion and observation.

If you knowingly opt in it’s not really a breach of privacy. They’re choosing to allow a 3rd party access to that information which doesn’t fit with your preferences but it’s not really a breach of privacy or trust.

The original commenter explained they and their spouse share their location.

You said it was a breach of trust and privacy.

My question was “How? My situation is similar to the person you’re replying to and I’m curious how two consenting adults sharing their location with each other is ‘a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust’.”

I understand now that you didn’t mean that it was a breach of trust and privacy literally, obviously they’ve both opted in, but you used that to express your own preference.

at that point that difference would not matter to me

Got it. Seems like you’re applying your preference to the original commenters situation; that’s where I was getting confused.

Two slices of cottage bread, lightly buttered on the inside with quality unsalted butter, two pieces of deli style American cheese (specifically the stuff from our local butcher but similar to Kraft Deli Select) evenly distributed in the middle.

Delicious cheese sandwich!

I have nothing to support this but I’ve always thought it was to play into middle America’s biased perception of New York/LA.

It always seems like middle Americans thought about the increased salaries in these areas with taking the CoL there into consideration. They’d think someone making huge salaries must have all this extra income without considering they’re probably paying 2-3x the cost for housing alone, if not more.

Maybe it’s age talking but I’m at the point where my goal is the job that pays me the most for the least amount of time spent working.

I’m much happier working my “845” (8am-4pm 5 days a week, ideally less) and then being done so I can spend as much time enjoying my life.

I get that it’s not privacy focused; so much these days isn’t, but I’m still not understanding how two adults knowingly enabling location sharing via a 3rd party service is “a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust”.

I’m gathering that your intent was more along the lines of “it’s not very privacy conscious since you have no control over how the 3rd party uses that data or any way to control it”, would that be accurate?

I would not.

all the while this is a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust.

How? My situation is similar to the person you’re replying to and I’m curious how two consenting adults sharing their location with each other is “a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust”.

Maybe if one party is unwilling or has no say/control in location sharing but specifically in the scenario at hand I don’t see it.

They do t want a reflection of society as a whole, they want an amplifier for their echo chamber.

Way, way back in the early days of the internet when it was still all just message boards and users from universities there were discussions about data poisoning. The early forebears of users today had enough foresight to understand what the internet could be if it went the wrong way and started a collaborative project to develop tools as technology developed to combat it. They managed to keep up the project, legacy developers would move on or die but new ones sprang up in their place. It all fell apart way back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

Are eggs still up in parts of the US? They’re back to about what they were a year ago where we live, $2.70-$2.80/dozen.

Tl;dr

maybe you just don’t get my tone

Ahh, blame the other person for your poor communication. That says a lot about you.

Seems a lot more expedient to say “if this isn’t what you meant, let me know”.

No need for multiple paragraphs of pedantry about language on an AskLemmy post inquiring about people’s opinions.
