Look it's all actually about re-encumberancing image file formats back into corporate controlled patented formats. If we would collectively just spend time and money and development resources expanding and improving PNG and gif formats that are no longer patent encumbered, we'd all live happily ever after.
That's obviously not what I was saying and not how I was saying it, and you know it.
Perhaps if you weren't so locked and loaded to attack anything not tightly fit into your bubble you'd react with reasonable questions and discussion as a response instead of trying to play gotcha nonsense.
When their entire account persona I was replying to is based around countering MAGA violence with more implied violence while not providing alternative solutions or even ideas, they're just acting as another side of the same coin of the asshole MAGAs that we rail against.
Remain calm, the MAGA gravy seals are not as worthy of the panic inducing threat category you fear they are in.
Rabid partisan politics can affect anyone to the point of advocating violence, as it obviously has done to you. You are acting as a provocateur, trying to reinforce an expectation of violence.
You say empathy is not a conservative trait, then demonstrate your own lack of empathy.
You say they see this as a team sports delusion, then treat it like one yourself. Every perosn has individual thoughts and decision matrixes, even the dipshit MAGAs. If you engaged with empathy rather than fear and arrogance, you'd be able to articulate a warning without that all or nothing doomer rhetoric.
A St. Louis circuit judge overturned Dunn’s murder conviction on July 22 and ordered his immediate release.
A judge's order is a legal order, Mr. Dunn should've walked out of the court room free on July 22. The AG Andrew Bailey should be thrown in jail for contempt of court and barred from holding public office ever again for violating the public trust, especially since he has attempted this multiple times now.
Ok then, let's organize it in a proper and civil manner, though. Everyone that wants to advocate for a civil war gets brought to the Gettysburg field in PA and they can have a "publicly" sanctioned battle to the death.
The winners get a commemorative plate, the losers get a very large memorial center with statues built in their honor in Huntsville, Alabama.
This sounds sideways, as FOIA processing is a part of city services, and state services, and federal services.
Treating it otherwise has always seemed to invite abuse.
We also have a rule regarding conversion of electronic data from internal proprietary format to something the requestor can read that allows us to refuse if responding to the request would cause an undue disruption to city services.
How is that a legal workaround against FOIA? Literally every response to FOIA causes a 'disruption' to city services in that context. This sounds like a strategy from management that is incompetent or intentionally unethical trying to avoid processing FOIA requests. "Undue disruption" reads as a convenient scapegoat to hide things from the public, a public that the government is there to serve in the first place.
It would have taken about 6 months for a full-time employee, and our city only has 11 staffers, so we were able to tell them “no.”
~165 hours for ever 10k documents to review at 1 min avg per doc.
45k documents = 750 hours = 25 work weeks @ 30hrs.
That's $11,250 @ $15/hr wages. Call it $16,000 for FTE total costs as a govt employer.
You can engage 10 local contracted temp workers to process the data in a under 3 weeks.
Once you have done the review, the dataset to that point has been compiled and can be used for other such requests without additional expenditures towards recompiling data up to that date.
I'm sure budgets are carefully crafted to avoid including FOIA processing.
