You have a reduced right to privacy in public but eliminated all together.

I remember when cool tech gadgets were cool and not undisguised spy tools.

Their deadliest sniper was subject to more air and artillery strikes than some military units and he kept fighting.

Partisan warfare. They need to train as many people as possible and arm them. Have a ready made resistance force.

This is also why all information sharing on Canadians to the Americans must stop.

I remember in the time after 9/11 when Muslims and Islam were shown in this kind of light while the west was too modern, scientific, and secular to fall prey to this stuff.

Now… now everything they accused Islam of they are actually doing AND the worst of the wordt Muslims are being armed and propped up by them as they always have been.

I need a good strong whisky this weekend…

Because someone didn’t get a decent scope and a proper target rifle.

With meal team 6 at the head!

Mass surveillance for advertising is just gross. I remember a comedian making a joke saying that ‘anyone here in advertising? Please kill yourself!’ Also just because someone got all the info on your for advertising, it doesn’t mean the government won’t get access to it, because right now 4th amendment and other traditional restrictions on government overreach are moot if all they need to do is buy the data from some broker on you. This has actually happened and it was upheld in court.

The precedent for stuff like that is older than you think, but also not what you think. For example some serial killers and serial bank robbers were caught because some homeless person searched through their trash looking for something they can use, eat, or sell (all of these things are legal to do BTW) and they discover things like body parts, firearms, or brand new clothes that also fit the clothes that said criminal was wearing when they did their crimes, and said homeless people reported this to the police.

But I am quite confident that someone who just so happens to stumble upon something vs. a company watching your every move are two very different things.

I tried to do it in the more advanced way, but I had never done anything like that before and I consider myself moderately technical. I used a simpler bootloader to get Frankel (the latest grapheneOS for Pixel 10. I have a basic Pixel 10, not the pro or fold) installed. I was apprehensive, but it seemed to go on fine. I am able to sandbox any google shit I do need (and it isn’t much) and I was able to get whatsapp with my old shit on it because my family is still using it for reasons. I am using K-9 as an email client for my gmail, which does help (or so I was told) limit the amount of information google gets on my usage when I check my email.

I am using k-9 mail as a client.

I just got grapheneOS on my new phone (it is a google pixel 10, but it is the one that can handle that…) I needed a client to use my gmail which will probably be the last thing I get rid of.

The reason why shooting people was too difficult is because many of the einsatzgruppen members broke down psychological and some became so murderous that they might not have been fit to reenter civilian society. They used gas chambers because it was sufficiently distanced from the actual act of killing (it just involved rounding people up into a room and having some guy with a canister dump the stuff into a vent. None of the actual killers even had to see the results of their actions as the cleaning was done by another group) that they could do it without creating that same problem.

I last used chatGPT in 2024. Never found it satisfying.

No kings anyway.

When I bought my dream machine it was the first one without an optical drive… and then I bought an external blu-ray player/DVD burner.

I think the fact that we pretty much crushed so many diseases via vaccines and other care in the 20th century that many forgot what it was like to live in the shadow of those diseases all the time. That lack of familiarity (the one thay spurred the acceptance of vaccines and treatment) is what is fueling this shit today.

Everyone thinks they have strong immunity and good genes until it hits them in the face.

Now that I think about it you are right.

When Epstein was killed by him he was probably crying tears of joy and saying ‘you betrayed me… I am so proud of you!’
