Whoa, look at mister fancy pants here with his pot of boiling water.

You should really up your game and buy some ESPs and servo motors to jiggle the toilet handles when the toilets are running.

How can you claim that people/societies change with time while also claiming that history is all about fairytales? How can you possibly determine what people or society used to be like if you also think that any records from that time are useless and made up? Utter nonsense.

Time changes but people don’t. Weird that you bring up fairytales about kings and dragons despite that having absolutely nothing to do with history.

This is absurd. You don’t think there’s anything important that we can learn from our past and apply toward our future?

Looks like they paid a designer who got halfway through designing the car (the bottom half) and then fired them in favor of some project manager’s nephew who’s “good with computers.”

That absolutely can be a component of controlled opposition.

I don’t understand the desire on the left to pretend there are no clout chasers that take up left causes just for clout

Nobody is doing that though. What they are doing is questioning whether this is common enough to even bother reporting on. The media loves to blow things out of proportion in order to create a viral story, which is exactly why people are bringing up Occupy Wall Street. Back then the media would find the kookiest person they could to stick in front of a camera so that person would be seen by the public as a clownish representative for the movement even though they weren’t.

Or to get it into the zeitgeist that “all these people complaining about Flock are just lying and doing it for clicks.”

I think that was precisely their target market with this and I’m sure Florida and Arizona are full of them. They really are hideous though, much more in person.

Not every search is comparable to one another. Searching a car for immigrants near the border fence is one thing while searching an American citizen’s personal phone containing all kinds of private informatoon at an airport in the middle of Georgia is another. This is all based off allegations of CSAM, but I would imagine the federal government would actually have to make a case for why they suspected CSAM in the first place to make the seizure legitimate. In reality, they probably wanted this guys messages and phone calls related to his activism so that they can target those people too, which is going to be hard to make a case for in court depending on the judge.

Its the same in the US. They can’t deny entry to US citizens.

While that may be true, it’s still their responsibility to handle this stuff if they’re keeping their payment system active.

Oh yeah, I started on there myself back in 1892 when the server was powered by steam engines.

Account is 11 days old and the fediverse hasn’t even existed for a fraction of that time.

The company has also argued that reflected sunlight could provide temporary lighting without diesel generators or permanent ground infrastructure.

Sure it just requires that you build a giant precision mirror array, launch it into orbit, and then constantly monitor and position it from the ground, but god damn if you won’t need a bulky, polluting flashlight ever again.

What an absolute fucking joke of a proposal. Yeah, let’s blanket the earth in mirrors so that we can light up some random construction site temporarily.

The data processing isn’t after the fact, its happening in real time and your examples of tech companies tracking you are things you can opt out of but you can’t opt out of being tracked by these cameras posted around your city on government property funded by your own tax dollars.

Police arent allowed to perform a stakeout on a citizen and track all their movements 24/7 without a warrant, therefore they shouldn’t be allowed to have some AI do it without a warrant instead.

But you don’t own the art you watch/listen to. You don’t own the message on the bumper sticker. There is no difference.

Also a tool to give plausible deniability when shit hits the fan.
