It’s actually kind of feasible as there are a few websites I can’t access unless I turn off my VPN, e.g. Reddit, Ars Technica, XDA… Hilarious, at the moment I can access all three, so it must be a VPN…
The privacy policy is very disturbing, and their lack of morality in prices and weights is equally so. I would never install the Sam’s Club or Walmart apps on my phone, and I set my phone to airplane mode when…
This has some very interesting connections, and pay attention to the predictive policing tied into Flock ALPR cameras which has been experimented with for a long time. Of note, Flock AI gets license plates wrong, so how much more wrong…
France has plans for your money, The high capital gains for just converting to stablecoin is ridiculous along with the exit tax. And having to report self-custody is to build a list for when the government wants to confiscate it,…
And why blocking ads (and elements with uMatrix) along with DNS blocking of advertisement, malware, and telemetry sites is essential, as they just don’t vet these ads they’ll feed to your computer, a gaping security hole you didn’t sign up…
Amazon is the king of getting you to pay for your own surveillance. I wonder what’s going on with megacorp office workers these days, as you know they’d love to have this kind of surveillance. When I left we were…
Sure, I’ll gladly add your Microsoft spyware to my computer after leaving Windows spyware for Linux. Though, this is subscription based service and for enterprise developers who are running Linux desktops, so more for corporate IT management with spyware most…
There is big money behind the advertisements I see fighting against Proposition 1 to cut property taxes by 50%, because there are businesses that want your tax dollars with profit paying for the ad campaign. And really this is a…
The interesting bit I wanted to highlight is the steer by wire. We’ve had throttle by wire for a while now, which I’m not a huge fan of, but steer by wire is a solid no thank you. A severe…
Psalm 9 has a perplexing verse, and I haven’t seen anything conclusive from Bible commentaries, with some Bible study notes not even addressing it. And this is a good translation of the Hebrew, rendering the verb return. Sheol is a…
A company with a worsening security record, with state level tampered reseller wallets supposedly stealing $86 million from customers so far, now has zero credibility to release such a device demanding such a hefty price tag. And I’m pretty sure…
Russia has actually been ahead of the west in the push towards a digital Panopticon, so this gives away the plan, no self-custody, no payments, no P2P exchanging, and only custodial accounts. All those restrictions pretty much remove all the…
Personally, I don’t trust the “runs locally” comment or that this data isn’t uploaded to federal databases. And how do you know how they fingerprint and what data they’re looking to collect? I personally wouldn’t communicate intimately with any friends…
Sounds like a way to get your messaging into their AI client for building their profiles of you. Google is using the carrot of protecting you from scams, where Muse is promoting their agentic AI as helping you be more…
This is interesting in that it shines a light on why Hegseth mentioned livestreaming the execution, an illogical idea, as it’s a setup for their global partners to promote censorship at home. It kind of betrays a global partnership contrary…
It’s kind of diabolical the language saying it’s voluntary, but the rules really push it to being mandatory. But then we can all see where this is heading. The paperwork is still being written, but the direction of travel…
