this just brings them on par with local LEOs. these cabinets have charging ports and run brute force attacks on pins and passcodes, at least the simplest and cheapest options do.

That’s what many think about punitive systems. And you are correct. But we are at the magical point where a large number are just fine with that.

haha, clue into me missing weeks worth of messages with noone the wiser. Mostly worth it. slowly learning to pay attention again.

No, we don’t need this at all. businesses need to be fined out of existence for using the ssn, and lenders should do due diligence without some imaginary score.

I was thinking this. With advances in text recognition, they can potentially filter all that data now. Since five eyes is essentially for industrial espionage, google first requiring access to source code to ensure compatibility, and that you can’t really turn off chrome web page sniffing (I have found the disabled chrome app still running, with “force stop” available,) all this makes more sense than the little bit they’d squeeze out of ad revenue chasing people who avoid chrome and google assistant. After all, it isn’t bad actors or people who already buy from google they are spending so much effort on - it is the tech competent.

field on one side, field on the other. if I am on the interstate, the surface gets really shitty on our side because brownback and the republicans in topeka drained the highway fund to give the koch bros and fat corpo-farmers a tax break.

bullshit

stupid. half the college grads I know, a good number of vets, and none who have ever been in trouble, ever, have tattoos. you are just sick in the head. I don’t have tattos, don’t like them, but I don’t choose my friends by it, or use it as a moral compass.

raccoons eat more of them.
