It’s not a government obsession. It is capitalisms — surveillance capitalisms — obsession. Our governments are almost entirely corrupted by capitalist interests. Their success IS “national security”.
An authoritarian/fascist dictatorship was always the guaranteed end goal of the military industrial complex, secret police, the monetization of attention, and I fear capitalism in general.
LOL indeed. You’d think this guy would know, but apparently even the world’s most high paid engineers are drinking the slop koolaid.
This is why you don’t give AI access to any data that is not backed up offline, or you’re willing to lose. Really, you shouldn’t give AI access to any personal or non-work related data unless it’s local only. Capitalism will use your data to exploit you.
This is why I’ve transitioned to ZFS. So that I can have auto-snapshots and essentially version control my data; free to yolo with self-hosted apps and (local) AI.
When the AI bubble bursts the nazis can buy up all that hardware for a fraction of the cost, to operate their big brother and killbot armies… labelled as a bailout, with global pension funds paying for it to the tune of trillions in losses.
The bar has been lowered to air bud
Unfortunately the crazies tend to be crazy because of their poor critical thought, logic, and reasoning skills; meaning they’re largely incompetent as resistance fighters or assassins, which require a great deal of skill, planning, and logistics (especially in a surveillance state, targeting the most protected people on earth).
I doubt they’re referring to the party affiliation, and instead to the ideology of the voters and politicians.
The orgs/brands/teams they’ve historically supported are irrelevant when their current support is dependent on present and future fascism.
Every time I’ve heard people make similar claims of “bare minimum / basic solutions don’t work for me”, their problems always end up being user error.
separate colors from whites
This is especially necessary when washing warm/hot, as many dyes dissolve at higher temps.
You can probably buy washing machine cleaner liquid that you run on an empty cycle.
Unnecessary. Leave the door open to air dry between washes. If it ever smells (otherwise twice a year) use 1 Cup vinegar OR 2 Tbsp citric acid (dissolved) in an EMPTY machine on baby/sanitize/hottest cycle to clean any molds or limescale. Can also use 1 C of bleach (dissolved).
Fabric softeners are a waste of money if you ask me
They offer no meaningful benefit. Add 1/2 cup of vinegar to the softener dispenser every wash. It’s a natural softener that inhibits mold and neutralizes odors (both clothes and machine).
ALSO, hang/dry clothes within a couple of hours. If they aren’t dry within 24 hours (36-48 max), they will start to grow mold and smell no matter what.
China should accept Taiwans sovereignty as a separate Chinese country, and stop being such a little bitch. The end.
The very purpose of creating most company’s is to limit liability of shareholders and staff.
It’s significantly easier to commit crimes with the knowledge that the system can’t come after your liberty or wealth for those crimes.
They’re sociopaths/psychopaths. That’s the only way you can rape children and live with yourself; if you don’t care about the damage and pain you cause to other people. That’s what makes them effective soldiers, too.
If you’ve ever worked with consultants or managers in general, like 50-75% of them are fucking stupid. Just because they can convince other idiots that they’re not, doesn’t mean they aren’t. I’ve watched the blind lead the blind into financial ruin, while getting paid big bucks to do it.
Replace “tech CEO’s” with “S&P 500 CEO’s”.
America is a corporate dictatorship, where your access to freedom, liberty, and justice are proportional to your level of wealth.
They legislated an antifascist org a terrorist org (Palestinian action).
Conservative fascisms tentacles are deeply embedded in the UK, from surveillance state to political corruption. That’s why Brexit happened, and they remain among the most susceptible to fascism among the developed world.
They’re about as useful as the American justice system is at prosecuting wealthy pedophiles.
I was not equating those crimes. I was highlighting the fact that we live in multi-tiered legal and justice systems that are proportional to wealth.
HSBC enabled fraud for organized crime in the hundreds of billions, and they didn’t face even remotely equivalent consequences. Was anyone even criminally prosecuted?
How about the people only accept measures that impose great risk to the privacy of the working class once corporate and political criminals face the same level of “justice” and consequences as the working class? Why should consumers accept paper straws while corporations are free to increase plastic waste exponentially?
FYI archive.today is no longer trustworthy
Killing nazis is also a crime. Both currently, and throughout nazi Germany. Do with that information what you will.
Why would the fascist big tech algorithms lie to me?
It’s also a fucking repeat of the auto-bailouts nearing 20 years ago. At this point its pretty obviously a wealth extraction grift. With fascists and liberals in power they will get socialized bailouts, probably forgiven like the covid trillion dollar wealth transfer.
