My threat model is not mostly concerned with gov. That could change but anyb way we can make it harder and more expensive or to take data or just created competition for Google is start in the correct direction. Just don’t do anything important on Proton.
I am Einstein and the most independent person alive right about now then. I’ll flat out go to 5 failed invidious links that take forever to not load just so I don’t have to use YouTube. What an absolutely disgusting platform! I can’t believe people still use it. I’d rather just make my own goddamn videos and entertain myself for all the bullshit they do.
Get a Raspberry Pi? Or maybe a SBC with a display port option.
I think we need a whole company that makes dumb everything. I want a dumb house. Grill, fridge, washer/dryer, TV, gaming console, floor cleaning robot, toilet, lights, oven, and everything. They need to make “The Dumb Store.”
They used to be good. My last TV was 10 years old when I finally got a new one. New one is now 8 years old. It seems like LG and Samsung just both make super shitty appliances. In any case, I agree they can certainly both fuck off now that we know everything they make is spyware.
I heard Wal-Mart donated a million to a trans cause recently. Strategies, they have. Guess they will kill more competition and then go back to solely pandering to toothless patriots.
Best we can do is let you pee in bottles at work and perform dystopian surveillance on drivers.
Absolutely fuck no!
Yes you do. If you’re trying to find gays, it’s not like they walk around in rainbow skin colors. How would the be identified?
When they have to filter people by whatever undesirable trait they make an enemy out of next week, where will the information come from?
Holy shit, that’s a thing you can do? Like a sed type function works in Notepad++?
Agreed. If you’re not moving hundreds of thousands if units, there probably is no return in investment. Those things have expensive up front costs.
Bastards, all if them.
I think it’s way more sinister. If people don’t waste time on stupid shit like commutes, pressing and starching business attire, wasting social energy on superficial coworker interractions, and needlessly spending money on lunchflation and work clothes, then everyone has more time/money to be a healthy human being with more time for self-actualization and community-building. Such people tend to attempt to facilitate a healthy society, and that misaligned with the goals of the exploitative wealthy class.
Commercial providers for space programs cost more money than if NASA just hired civil servants to do a lot of the work. Big corps just take longer, then don’t want to share development info that taxpayers funded, making integration into other elements a huge safety problem that can’t be fully resolved due to the protection of the provider’s intellectual property.
Then they get shit workers that put up with job instability caused by a fickle Congress. This has gotten progressively worse for decades, and now NASA is reduced to a corporate subsidy program for parasitic billionaires and huge companies that don’t deliver well. Nothing like someone asking me if a design will function properly with another, and me basically saying I have no fucking clue because everything is a goddamn secret.
NASA’s commercial provider obsession was bought by lobbyists, and it’s a fucking terrible idea. I’ll die on that hill.
I heard that it’s hard as hell, but now I can’t remember if the dev who said it was from Firefox or Chrome.
If anyone here has been with a narcissist, this is very familiar behavior.
My damn neighbors have that crap. Ring pointed right at my house.
Same. My real name is on mine too. Everything you give an email to that isn’t Google is one more piece of data Google doesn’t have presumably. If those corrupt bastards collect the aggregate anyways, that still costs them money. If it’s automated, guess what? Aggregating our data still costs money, and data centers are expensive to maintain. Every little but matters.
