Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.
I’m single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.
ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.)
Also, I refuse to use Donald’s last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.
Agreed that there’s no perfect solution.
But one can, and should, make it harder, and if your head, eyes, and face are covered (which is exceedingly easy and inexpensive to do with a ball cap, sunglasses, and a face mask) it’s going to beat all but the best systems.
Then wear a cloth one with a pattern on it.
This isn’t difficult.
Exactly.
Beating facial recognition is simple.
Remember 20 years ago when Wikileaks was telling us about all the false positives swept up in the War on Terror dragnet?
Both Bush and Obama got reelected. No one at the federal level gives a shit.
You don’t need a portable EMP.
All you need is basic KN95 mask and a hoodie. Or you can invest in sunglasses or ID-blocking eyeglasses, like IDGuard from Zenni. The point is to have your features covered as much as is feasible. When I go to a protest I wear a costume that covers my whole head and a jumpsuit.
You should have a KN95 on anyway if you’re going out among people.
Yup. Eventually he will have his manic moment like Biden did. Just a matter of time.
He can appear to read if he has an earpiece in and someone’s telling him the words.
It’s okay.
Donald’s doing important things, like reading some Bible stuff in public. What more do you want?
/s
If only he showed half as much enthusiasm about purging the pedophiles he’s currently hiding, I might think better of him.
And now the press are calling us ‘device hoarders’ for taking good care of our shit and not wanting to upgrade to new devices too.
I’ll give them this much.
They did a brilliant job integrating Windows into every significant sphere of the globe. I had never even heard of LibreOffice until a couple of years ago when they rolled out Windows Recall and I got serious about learning and using Linux and open-source software more in order to protect my privacy.
It’s wild to me that they have made a product that basically worked so incredibly buggy in the span of a few short years. It’s actually a running joke at my work how basic things, that functioned for decades, no longer work as expected. We all just assume that Microsoft is passing along LLM-generated code into prod without any human verification, as a company may be wont to do when they’ve laid off tens of thousands of actual humans.
And now I haven’t touched Windows except where I have to, usually for work.
Better comply. The gods are not to be trifled with, especially when their pee is so difficult to clean up.
They don’t. That is why regulation is necessary.
Just like how expecting people to recycle was bad policy.
Though I wouldn’t be opposed to there being statutory regulations against parents whose kids get addicted to these applications and end up self-deleting or causing harm to others, not unlike how we’re seeing the state start to go after parents who fail to secure their guns. But just trusting parents to parent isn’t an option anymore. There’s simply too much evidence of the harm these applications cause.
We’ll see what his next announcement is on Monday.
Dude always times them with the market for maximum grift, but I’m with you. I think he and Israel are stalling to regroup for another offensive.
Yup, I know.
Also why it’s never going to change. Fascism will inevitably grow stronger.
It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.
(Thankfully.)
People keep repeating these platitudes as if digital products aren’t literally harmful to kids. (And purposefully designed that way.)
But okay.
Her counter to this was that he’d opened the Strait. I reminded her that he was the one responsible for its closure in the first place.
I, too, am sick of hearing people pretend that him doing a half-assed band-aid job on his own fuckups makes him some kind of legitimate president, all while strategically timing his announcements on the war so his kids can make insider trades on his behalf. Sickening shit.
The upside is many of these stupid people will be dead soon. The problem is that Gen Z is just as easy to manipulate, since both governments and families have elected not to regulate social media use even in light of its obvious harm to people’s well being.
That’s also fairly simple.
Leave the phone at home (the best way to go) or put it in a faraday bag, but yes, there’s a plethora of things you need to do to be completely anonymous.
