Ok but think about this, being a cog is better than being trash when we burn the trash.

AI bros want us to believe that it will improve humanity's situation and maybe it will eventually, but people are currently in the process of learning that the luddites were right, and progress is a scythe.

Nobody said it was a literal crime. First sale exists.

If the books are rare, though, there's an argument to be made that destroying them is figuratively a crime against humanity.

They are being self-hoisted though, if your site has a lot of caching and isn't doing an shitload of tracking or generating a ton of ads then the cost of being scanned by AI is low. It's only sites with lots of aggressive ads, tracking, and/or algorithmic feed generation that are impacted.

There's a big story in the news about it today, I'd link it if I were on desktop, go look it up though

Space had a big ROI once but that's slowed down.

War is still very profitable... For some anyway. And they influence politics.

I remember when we found out for sure that the TLAs were logging all of the USPS addressing data that USPS swore up and down was simply being deleted after using it for routing. It was about a week after my local postmaster told me they didn't do that...

"A warrant doesn't prevent someone, including police, from getting information. It prevents them from using it in court as evidence against you."

Only in a fantasy land where parallel construction does not exist.

Yes, of course the fact that there is little to no objectivity in the warrant process does in fact invalidate that process.

Zuckerfuck was never actually in favor of free speech. He was just in favor of making money. Remember that he called everyone who trusted him with their info for Facebook "dumb fucks". Those are not the words of a defender of users' speech.

Yes, the gold rush was racist in numerous ways.

Governments wanted ballistic missiles out of the space program and got them.

A government funding push into space at this time just means a new military rationale for spending has been imagined.

This all leads to the bigger and more important issue: We should not be letting companies decide how much privacy we deserve... It shouldn't be up to Flock or any other ALPR vendor to decide how long police can collect and retain data

No, the bigger and more important issue is that we should not be letting anyone retain that data. If you want to do ALPR there is one and only one correct way to do it: You build a list of license plates you want information about after getting warrants about them, that list is sent to the point of recognition whether it's a camera or a data center, and any data about any plate not that list is not stored. There is no other way to fix the problem besides not collecting the data in the first place, period.

If you'd actually been using Linux long enough to have an opinion on this you'd know a lot more runs in userspace than it used to.

LOLOLOLOOLLLOLLLLL

Yes, those specific accounts were banned for actual reasons, of course sensible people agreed with that. Meanwhile multiple studies showed that during that same period, right wing speech was amplified more than left wing speech. You fucking pedo loving maggots always cry persecution while it's provably not happening to you.
