Don't be silly. Mark Zuckerberg already knows our location.

Per Gemini, but note the bolded text in the last paragraph:

The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode you're describing is "The Arsenal of Freedom" (Season 1, Episode 21).

In this episode, the Enterprise investigates a planet called Minos, where an advanced, fully automated weapon system is being demonstrated. This system, run by a sentient computer, is designed to constantly adapt and improve its combat capabilities. When Picard and his away team are trapped on the planet, they encounter the holographic salesman of this system, who insists on demonstrating its "effectiveness."

The computer system, in its relentless pursuit of demonstrating its weaponry, keeps offering reasons why its automated destruction and even the elimination of populations (effectively genocide in the context of its function) is a logical and efficient outcome in its "sales pitch." Picard, of course, is horrified by this logic.

The "Picard orders tea" detail isn't quite right for this specific episode. While Picard often orders tea, the issue in "The Arsenal of Freedom" is the computer's relentless and amoral justification of its destructive capabilities, not a glitch triggered by a tea order. However, the core concept of a computer system calmly explaining the benefits of what amounts to genocide is definitely present.

That's the (rather horrifying) joke.

They also seem to operate under the misunderstanding that the French can make coffee. Here in Italy we know that to be false.

Same. Until you notice the column of curly braces and semi colons in the right margin.

You don't. But all your new devices from now on will have USB C charging.

I'm not suddenly about to put a Harris billboard on my lawn

Do they have billboards saying "reluctantly voting Harris out of necessity"?

If that's what he really wants, then I'm sure it could be arranged and nobody needs to get nuked. But it probably isn't.

Is gnome claiming to be older than kde? 'cause it isn't. Gnome was started because decades ago, the license for the qt library used by kde wasn't quite open enough.

The German may not use a lot of words but he's got just one that carries the whole meaning. It's just in German.

It sounds like someone needs to bring a similar suit in the EU and point to the GDPR. Where is the agreement to specific processing, the chance to opt out of the data collection, etc.
