You got it.

Sadly, catchy slogans don’t hold up in court. Better to buy from distributors who don’t try to make that claim, like GOG - even if they won’t put Nine Sols on the store to avoid offending many gamers.

The funny thing is that Lake America doesn’t even associate it to the US, it just makes the name more ambiguous. Of course, the Trump admin would never have suggested naming it Lake New York because the US government is even alienating their own states at this point.

Point taken, this is more sociological than science. Just because it’s is a study and is fact based doesn’t automatically make it scientific. The first comments are already about regurgitating some pretty horrible political takes that don’t even bother to check to see if they have anything to do with the study itself.

So once again someone who can’t even click on a link, or even bother to gloss over what was studied or what the results were to see if it even supports their alt-fictional view of the world.

Pretty much sounds like it. Microsoft also made them pull back their shenanigans, if I remember correctly.

Or in other words, you get immediately quashed, your existence meant nothing, and you get to reveal nothing. Quite a pipe dream to think you are “going loudly publicly” in Russia. I’ll take the “rat” any day of the week over ineffective/false bravado, at least one actually ratted out what needed to be ratted out while the other just goes to Siberia indefinitely.

The article details the several ways she sabotaged their information gathering attempts and how she eventually had to leave after she was told to get involved in an assassination attempt. Meanwhile, you are a TIE fighter pilot for the empire as far as I can tell.

She didn’t offer herself up to “be a rat”, she was threatened and detained over and over again while they tried to butter her up, acting like she was helping them was the most immediate way to stop the harassment until she eventually left on her own. She could just have as easily complied, become rich, and had no one know about her complicity.

More tankies and tankie tactics should be outed this way.

It’s about the cheaper method of cooling, there’s no need for them to have to waste water if they recycled it correctly. It’s really a war about the latest hot investment getting all the socialist policies from the government versus people being milked through do-or-die capitalism by a government that only does the bare minimum to fulfill their obligations to them.

An experimental plane to help develop a future hybrid still another experimental phase away that will still be limited to regional travel due to autonomy issues. Still pretty awesome, but still some time away.

Another way of saying he wants to start charging any ship passing through it.

Probably made by the Flatheads. I Ewok celebrate at Nazi’s end, cuddle bite me.

Ninja running with bomb vests, what devil has been unleashed.

Begs the question why a lot of your society idealizes the mechanisms that give rise to those Sociopathic Oligarchs. They didn’t spring out of nowhere. Elon Musk is not anyone special. Trump isn’t anyone special. It’s not a just switch the dial problem, it’s a deeply rooted institutional one that will either churn out mild oligarchs at best or wannabe fascists at worst. Trump thrives on an exaggeration of an identity that does exist for a lot of Americans.

Your current system will never do that, and you’ve trained yourself to believe the only viable solution that is widely accepted throughout the world, secession, makes you a slave supporter. There are some states that would start putting them in prison for their crimes, but which ironically enough will never be allowed to by the same gaslighters that want to praise the original secessionists.

So what was it, was the war against secession a war against slavery, or was it a war to maintain American Hegemony for the oligarchs that could see beyond their slave farms and who ended up coining the modern day corporation? Because if it was to fight slavery, gotta tell you, the EU allowed the UK to leave without a problem and without weakening their regulations for private interests.

The problem is the corruption at the level where accepting or not matters. There’s always corruption, but competing interests can help dissipate organized attempts at it.

It’s following more of an OAuth model in the EU rather than give private-company-selling-your-data-off-to-Palantir model.

No, wait, you don’t understand, people with power are that much virtuous and careful with it so they deserve more of it … Yeah, no.

Detached independent Sousveillance that can actually respect things like the GDPR all the way over this shit. People won’t be ignoring this problem that much when it becomes about being in the wrong political party / ideology or not.

It boggles my mind why Americans and the UK would accept this.

Wait, no it doesn’t.

And yet your answer is exactly the right amount of words for the expected reading comprehension of the one making it.

Some people fight for rights. Others like yourself just fight for vibes. Also bears some association to the amount of words they can usually deal with.

(Case in point ↓ - What is this, kindergarten?)

So the same thing smartphones are? It’s easy to run install and run spy apps on them that record everything.

Everybody is getting so anxious about new technology these days. Smart glasses are pervert glasses, AI is completely bad and cannot have any possible good use, etc. Maybe the problem isn’t with the technology, but with the companies and the corruption world wide.

It’d be easy with regulations to have LEDs to go along with recording functions to notify other users when they are, but it seems these technologies are being allowed to run rampant spying under the scummiest of companies who do want to record and obtain your private information. Nobody is putting up even the most basic roadblocks or bothering to be transparent about their software.

Only reason I care is because I have AR ones that are basically a privacy asset - they allow me to work on my work laptop without installing their spyware drivers and do so without anyone looking over to see what I’m doing. No AR that way, and couldn’t even use the cameras to take pictures anyway. The company that made them moved on to support only their latest models. I would jump at open sourced AR glasses, with recording warning LEDs and everything. Hard to come up with a better privacy solution than something only you can see and hear. Unfortunately, unlikely that the companies leading the charge will care about privacy over the money they could get from selling to Palantir given who the majority of the buyers are.
