Are you naive enough to believe the surveillance OS that uploads literally all of your activity along with screenshots of your desktop doesn’t automatically upload you keys no matter what little box you tick on the installer?? 😂 there is absolutely not one single 3rd party auditing that they actually follow any of the options at all that they give.

That is simply not true.

Here in the EU we have chat control trying to be forced through every year for mass surveillance and targeting like Spain targeting catalan independence movements.

Palantir is starting to expand into the EU and american fash-tech companies have been lobbying hard and giving money to fascist parties across the EU. Musk gave unprescidented money of AfD fascists, for example.

UK has been getting more and more fascist for years, they have had mass surveillance for years and have been arresting people for simply attending zoom meetings supporting a country being killed off en-masse. Palantir literally just landed a £240 million deal with the UK government

We don’t have an ICE problem yet. Neither did america 10 years ago. It is being pushed HARD here to create an ICE problem.

Almost Nothing.

US had <0.2% conviction rate of war criminals, <1% of "major war criminals. Look it up, <200 convicted and actually punished of 100,000. Fascist war criminals is one of the lowest prosecution rates of all time. Very safe criminal activity apparently.

They gave many of the Nazis jobs, land, and positions in government and the UN. Nuremberg was a complete joke for publicity.

If US history is anything to go by, they will get off with 0 consequences. Just like WW2 and the civil war. The US needs a significant change to deal with it, like trial-less minimum life in prison for all ICE agents or it will be literally the same shit cycle of fascism.

Mariadb got bought by a private equity strip miner company late 2024, so it will probably be mined for every enshittification possible before thrown on the garbage heap like every company private equity has acquired before it.

(It always takes a few years of inefficient planning before private equity starts rolling out enshittification)

“Here in Denmark, we want homegrown European corporate-driven mass surveillance of all civilians.”

Glances at ChatControl

If there are side effects, then the god is not all powerful like the bible claims.

The thing is, the bible was written by corrupt and greedy humans, the bible has been selected (many books left out or included) by corrupt and greedy humans, modified by corrupt and greedy humans, and translated by corrupt and greedy humans.

If I wrote a book and claimed “it is the direct word of god and this god is the only god that is all powerful and all knowing and better than your god” that doesn’t make it true. That is literally what happened thousands of years ago, and nobody could refute it or argue against it because the only people who were literate or educated at all were the elite who had a vested interest in control and order

If there is a god and any of his word actually made it into the cherry picked bible, it is so mangled and corrupted beyond recognition as to be useless and unrecognizable, and people STILL have corrupted it so much further daily that they do not follow a single point of the bible. What makes anyone think that people back then were magically less hateful and had absolute 100% integrity even though there was significantly more war and corruption than now.

No, it truly isn’t. They don’t care even about the illusion of competancy.

They literally illegally gave technofascists surveillance execs commissioned high ranking positions in the U.S. military with zero experience or training just because they got paid. They gave vibe coder teenagers full access to US social security. They put an alcoholic white supremecist in charge of the whole military.

They will replace prosecutors with maga loyalists that maybe completed 1 year or law school and those prosecutors will do a horrible job (just like almost every person they installed in the past decade) but the important part is that when the time comes for the “pro quo”, they do their part and become yes men.

And yet again, the democrats will, with corporate cum still on their lips, do nothing, even symbolic, as is tradition, even when they had the power to do something.

There is very little personal to talk about that gets organically brought up in the workplace, I’ve found. Maybe they are trying to include you more or latching on to something that is genuinely interesting instead of the boring normal shit like talking about the weather, sports, or more work.

Republicans have literally fought tooth and nail to be able to refuse service to anyone (in their case, LGBTQ people, disabled people, and black people) which absolutely can and should be used to the fullest extent against them.

This is also why all the fucking electronics companies in the EU only going through american distributers and having their own damn webshops from and EU company ship from the US is going to cripple one of or most important industries when shit hits the fan. Looking at you STM, Nordic, and uBlox!

We have 3 large distributers in Europe: UK, Poland, and international (UK and Belgium) and yet only a tiny tiny subset of older parts are sold from there while the american distributors are packed full.

I mean, immich is still awesome and as far as anyone can tell, nothing has changed.

Giving money to immich isn’t giving money to FUTO as far as anyone can tell.

The immich developer also probably didn’t have the resources to do a deep dive into FUTO before being sponsored, so they likely didn’t know.

I also use immich and I will continue to do so, but it is just something to keep in mind.

Except the 51% owner of the block chain can overwrite the ledger and billionaires and hostile governments have all of the computers to do it. This has already happened multiple times with smaller coins IIRC.

Block chain is essentially just the techbro version of capitalism (not an alternative, a recreation). If there are distributed companies and enough competition, the system works pretty well, but when everything centralizes as has inevitably happened everywhere, the rules all get thrown away.

I got told off a while ago when immich got funding when I said that FUTO seems quite fishy and I didn’t believe that there were no strings attached with immich. Everyone said “oh they are just a great open source grant org” when I questioned where their money came from.

I feel a bit vindicated they they are just another tech bro’s philanthropic project with a habit of supporting and platforming fascists.

I am interested in learning which american peaceful protests have been successful that were not backed by force in the past 10 years?

Actually what american protests at all have been successful in the past 10 years at actually accomplishing their goals and not settling for 1% of their goals as a “compromise” for the theater?

Maybe we can extend it to 30 years or 40 years just for fun?

It is worth it to note that SMS should not be used for any personal communication. Literally every message you send is stored by the carrier and handed over to anyone that pays them including LEOs, who in the past have used them to incriminate innocent people, and if you live in america, they will use them to justify shooting you apparently…

Not to mention anyone in the area can intercept all messages with some cheap equipment.

Dumb phones are such a draw compared to stupid smart phones, but they don’t have any secure messaging (at least the ones I have looked at)

That is what they did here.

They blocked all first responders from bringing her to the hospital and possibly saving her life because a dead person can’t sue you.

I downloaded both of them from YouTube and reddit before they get taken down like on bluesky.

Anyone know where I can reliably post them that they will stay up?

On the bright side, this change has been around for 9 months at least because they had already changed it when I was doing IT stuff at my last job and it was impossible to find where to actually download the office suite.

Or Hikvision for very similar cameras at an actually affordable price (but you HAVE to block then from the internet and/or put them on an isolated VLAN because they send everything back home).

Reolink also makes gold budget cameras, especially their doorbell camera.

For some things.

For many things it isn’t. It is usable (I use it) but with a bunch of workarounds for anything embedded development-related since it needs specific vendor software with device access. I have had to use a variety of distrobox + app image solutions that are often a bit worse than a system that installs them as native apps.
