We now have a NUMBER for the value of these data breaches. Time for the Lawyers to use this metric to go after every single data breach.

some anonymous jape on teh intarwebs said :

Which is what these greedy out-of-control AI fuckwits are doing in a more diffuse manner.

There's non-destructive ways to scan books, that probably are just as fast as what these negligent morons are doing. It's just plain greed above all else.

This kind of behavior tells you who these people are. And why they should be shunned. It's starting to look like good people need to take action to stop their destructive rampage.

His. Name. is. BOBBY Tables! [1]


It's right there in the ancient [2] webcomic you linked. I know, I know, IHBT, IHL. HAND.

Its not racism or prejudice in the sense of judging people by immaterial qualities (skin color, sex/gender/ethnicity/etc) , it is the prejudice of Elitism. They think ONLY their elite compatriots are or should be eligible to doing the six figure job. There was a cute 80s movie that took this Elitism to task, The Last Starfighter.

It fits this pretty well.

I wish. That would be grand!

Everyone gathers to watch the securitybots fall down and violently flail around trying to right themselves.
Meanwhile, while the crowd is distracted, I pick their pockets.

Truly a golden age of law and order.

The very same people who told right wingers to "go start your own" social media, when the whole big tech cabal collectively went after various people, are the same ones now complaining that they were banned without cause for posting on a Tuesday.

This isn't a pro or con right wing post, this is a "you made your bed now lie in it" post.

I'm not a fan of the bigoted posts from any side. People love the powers that be right up to and until they are on the wrong side of those powers. Take a moment and think things through, and lets stop being so damn tribal, and maybe, just maybe Liberty will survive.

Same.

I'm almost hopeful that in a few years, Starlink Mobile will be the push I need to change. I'm waiting until then, or it gets even worse with T-Maybe

We really shouldn't encourage that type of behaviour. That's how you get more of it.

"The only solution" is in fact, not the "only" solution.

The correct and LEGAL means for the police to gain access to the phone is to take it and seal it in a tamperproof container (aka electronic Faraday Evidence Bag), go to a court and ask for a warrant to search the contents.

We have established LAW and procedures for the state to gain access to the device. It is inconvenient ON PURPOSE. and serves as a checks and balance in legal proceedings.

IF that is the case, seize the phone, get a Search Warrant.

The problem is, the state couldn't be bothered following ESTABLISHED law and procedures.

Simply accusing someone of some unspecified crime isn't a right the state has to just bypass Constitutional protections, namely the 4th and 5th Amendments.

Americans have rights, secured in our founding Constitution. I don't care what feelings one might have to the rest of the case. Rights exist, enshrined and we ought to defend them tirelessly forever.

There is some established case law that says that one cannot be compelled to give up a Password, Pin or Pattern Unlock, as a violation of the 4th and 5th Amendment.

Those Amendments are key to a person's rights to be SECURE. Which is the key word here. He SECURED his rights, under duress, by refusing to comply.

THIS is separate from the police chasing him as a possible criminal for crimes I may or may not like.

Rights work by being the STARTING POINT, not an afterthought or worse, something the state can simply ignore in an attempt to prosecute people for potential criminal activity.

The state has legal remedies they ought to seek if they want access to secured personal property. We all know what that is. GET A WARRANT, which is almost always a rubber stamp (very easy bar to jump over). They couldn't even be bothered with that.

Everyone ought to understand, if we do not defend our rights, the state certainly won't.

I doubt these purported robotaxis are capable of dealing with I-4 in the daily 3PM toad strangler.

Hey, people pay good money for non-radioactive materials!

RFS is dead. Like his wife.
