I haven’t read the article yet but I’m assuming that not being run by fucking retards is part of the reason.

It’s also become one of the few ways left to access knowledge online.

Not TRUSTWORTHY knowledge, but more like: here is what a thing may be called and a very shaky baseline you can then validate with actual research now that you know what the thing you’re looking for may actually be called.

Systemd killed my parents.

Linux’s birthday killed my parents.

Yes.

I don’t.

But I do think you may be reading something here I’m not trying to say.

And have zero inclination for any fucking brain dead fascist wannabe to see any of it.

My privacy matters a lot to me and I go through… not as great a length as some to safeguard it but far, far, more than most and no motherfucker has a right to a single fucking byte of data I don’t consent to them having.

My point is more that any local police force is going to be pretty much incompetent, which means that not only would any attempts of their to monitor a relatively tech savvy person be fruitless if you have even an inkling of it, and this incompetence also means you’re on your fucking own if anyone savvy really wants to get into your shit too.

Big difference between federal and local police.

But no, I haven’t read the book but I did read the title and you’ll hear no argument from me.

So here’s a fun fact. If someone is stealthy enough and is skilled enough at hacking, you are on your fucking own.

Cybersecurity companies won’t help you because they only work with other companies. You can try filing a report with officers and dunning and Krueger it good fucking luck getting anywhere with that.

Being under police shouldn’t really worry anyone who isn’t doing anything illegal who has half a brain cell, it’s literally anyone else who wants into your shit that you need to worry about.

So what you’re saying is that they’re like one of two women in a lesbian Japanese scat film, like, they’re going to get paid but where they used to be the woman taking a shit on the other woman’s mouth, now they’re the ones whose mouths are getting shat on?

Yes.

I’m not watching a fucking YouTube video.

No judgment if that’s your thing. I just don’t enjoy it.

There’s way less content here but the content that is here is way better, and the level of intelligence and civility on display is night and day vs Reddit.

Just one thing to add here, respectfully.

You’re both entitled to deez nutz.

How about nobody else’a fucking children are anybody else’s fucking problem.

Fuck your stupid fucking kids.

Not literally of course. I’m not a republican.

But can it play anarchy chess?

Appreciate you expanding on the earlier comment. All fair points.

I really don’t understand this perspective. I truly don’t.

You see a new technology with flaws and just assume that those flaws will always be there and the technology will never progress.

Like. Do you honestly think this is the one technology that researchers are just going to say “it’s fine as-is, let’s just stop improving it”?

You don’t understand the first thing about how it works but people like you are SO certain that the way it is now is how it will always be, and that because there are flaws developing it further is pointless.

I just don’t get it.

Patents can’t be owned by companies. Only individuals. In the event of any patent being the result of a team effort each person responsible for its development is gets a proportion of profits from it.

If person develops a patent while employed at a corporation that company owns a lease on the patent lasting 10 or 20 years or something .

I’m sure there’s holes in this you can drive a truck through but high level I feel like there is something there.

I also can’t be arsed to flesh it out further.

im handy with a soldering iron but dont know jack about the math behind electronics - can you provide any guidance as to how one would do this,

id be comfortable deslldering something and surface soldering something back onto a pcb but i am mot sure how what i would actually need to do to do this.

Also while im on the subject - how woukd one do this with bluetooth with a device with a bluetooth chip soldered to the board?

i think they may be referencing the fact that huge amounts of money have been given to them by google?

You beautiful bastard, you.
