  • It does.

    Last week, Senator Joann Ginal, a Fort Collins Democrat, proposed an amendment on the Senate floor permitting the use of rent-setting algorithms, provided that the data utilized was publicly available. This version of the bill subsequently passed in the Senate.

    Speaking to The Denver Post on Tuesday, Ginal defended the amendment, asserting that individuals should have the freedom to utilize apps and algorithms they have purchased. She maintained that the allegations against RealPage remain unproven, emphasizing the importance of awaiting the outcome of ongoing legal proceedings and investigations.

    In response to the Senate’s alterations, Denver Democratic Representatives Javier Mabrey and Steven Woodrow, the bill’s sponsors in the House, rejected the changes, arguing that they undermined the bill’s original intent.








  • I second this with Agoraphobic AutADHD. I desperately miss the days of flip phones and simpler IM clients. The “requirement” of having a smartphone in this day & age means that, at a low level, there is always a baseline anxiety present in me from wake to sleep.

    I’m a person that needs alone time every day or I can’t fully destress so knowing that anyone can always get ahold of me, or if they can’t, they expect immediate responses whenever possible stresses me to holy high hell! Thankfully the friends I do have all understand this, so even if a week or a month passes between messages, it’s treated like no time has passed at all. Without that, friendship is nearly impossible lol
