I don’t fully buy into the ‘both sides are the same’ argument. I do believe the two parties are not different enough though. Basic shit like universal healthcare, civil rights, taxing the wealthy by closing loopholes, etc. should be what the left is doing in my opinion.
I think it’s funny how all companies immediately shifted from customer-facing to business and wealthy investors as their new customers. They don’t care about us at all, only that their stock goes up. A massive amount of former consumers are effectively broke, so businesses are relying on each other to boost their stocks. Not sure how that plays out long-term.
Hasn’t drone warfare been in use in other conflicts for several years now (I’m thinking of Ukraine but maybe there are other examples)? Why hasn’t the military developed a solution to this yet? Where did the multiple trillions of our taxpayer dollars go if that spending wasn’t used to prepare for modern warfare?
I agree with you on all points. We shouldn’t be there. Cut the military budget in half. We don’t truly need that large of a military presence. We have nukes as a defensive deterrent.
Because they are complicit. The two parties are not the same, they differ on a few dozen topics, of which the public is acutely aware. For the other 1,000,000+ issues, they are either in agreement or are complicit in Republican ideology.
Sounds like we might find out how the courts will view it.
Linux desktop is in a great position now. I’ve been using it long before it was usable for most casual users, but it’s finally reached the point where it has less problems than Windows for my purposes.
Doesn’t matter what his reasons were to wipe the device, that’s the point of privacy, not to hide criminal activities.
Flock cameras are not LPR cameras. They are regular security cameras, with server-based AI. They even show demos to potential customers showing how the their product can search for specific people based on clothes, animal types, children/babies, strollers, carts, etc. across the entire country from one web-based interface. It’s all very Orwellian and I don’t think this issue either starts nor stops with Flock as a company. This type of surveillance is going to be ubiquitous regardless of what company(s) show up for making money from it.
Windows has been increasingly failing at being what an operating system is supposed to be. It’s supposed to bridge the gap between hardware and software, and facilitate the launching and management of applications. Instead, it’s spying on users, collecting private date, silently installing and running software by third-party accessories, displaying ads, etc. It is full of friction when trying to use it, for example, it can’t suspend or shutdown correctly, it’s full of vulnerabilities, etc. …And then there’s Copilot…
The advantages are starting your car remotely in the hot or cold months to pre-cool/preheat the cabin, defrost the windows, etc. and let the engine warm up for a couple of minutes.
