I trust that they will aid in extrajudicial surveillance and autonomous killings.

Maybe we shouldn’t have started a war with them then?

There’s a lot of anarchists at my mutual aid group helping distribute goods in my community.

Crazy how, when you forget what constitutes a valid military target when antagonizing a majority of your neighbors, your neighbors might forget what makes a valid military target too.

Almost like the very concept of valid military targets exists to protect civilian life during conflict.

“Ignorance is bliss” isn’t exactly a new adage. The problem is that it only helps you and no one else. If you want to make the world a better place for yourself and others then you need to know about it, and if they doesn’t make you unhappy than you need to have some serious introspection.

So what are you looking for: happiness or progress?

Like right after Charlie got Kirked Christians started sharing AI videos of him talking about forgiveness and shit.

Glenn Beck is making a “George AI” and Prager U in partnership with the White House are making Founding Father AI systems to lie to children about history and Christianity.

Horrifyingly there’s also HearAfter Ai.

Prove it!

Carcinisation is the phenomenon of non crabs to evolve crab like characteristics. It is not the process of non crabs becoming true crabs.

In this case the language is trending toward JSON syntax, but it doesn’t have to actually be JSON for carcinisation to be an applicable analogy.

An infotainment screen can be separate from the thing that handles driving without a need to replace everything with physical buttons. It’s just a matter of having 2 computers (and thus extra cost) that are not connected. The driving computer can handle things like ECS, ABS, acceleration, braking, locking, unlocking, headlights, turn signals, and of course managing the motor components all while being disconnected from the Internet. The cabin computer can handle everything else and appear to the user the same as it does today. You can even connect the cabin computer to the Internet without risk of dying if you want the ability to remotely heat or cool the cabin or want an auto emergency response call in cases of a crash.

You don’t need an individual control for all the things that happen in a car, you just need intelligent, security aware decisions to be made when deciding what is critical for driving or safety and what is just there for comfort.

Parts of Iot are great, but not the whole “smart home sending multiple video and microphone feeds to Amazon/Google/Facebook” thing.

The ability to set up remote sensors on critical infrastructure to give early alerts is a benefit.

It is not a necessary design element of a car to have a single touchscreen to control the car. It is a willful bad choice.

It is entirely possibly to have a car who’s main driving components are air gapped from the windows, ac, radio, locks, etc. It just isn’t done for a lot of modern cars.

Nah, I want them stripped of everything they own and must work menial jobs making what they paid their lowest earning employee for the rest of their natural life.

Nice hikes and you can play in the water!

Oh yeah, definitely. The wiring needs for an industrial space or event venue are different than a domicile, but I don’t think anyone’s buying audiophile snake oil for those. They really seem to market that kinda crap to the fool and their money crowd.

My grandma once told me “everyone wishes they could have bought a house for the price their parents did.” Which, yeah, inflation’s a thing, but housing is not supposed to be an appreciating investment vehicle.

I fucking love audio and have an extensive collection of equipment. The last thing in the chain before your ears (so headphones and speakers) will absolutely make a difference and the thing that provides power to that can make a difference. But the cables? The fucking cables?! Absolutely no impact once you’re above like $10. Turns out, electrons are electrons and they behave like electrons. Shockingly that doesn’t change in copper, gold plated copper, pure silver, or mud. Doubly so for the non analog part of the chain. Hell I’ve even seen “audiophile grade” ethernet cables.

The other part of the equation is if the differences made by the things that do make a difference actually matter to the listener. They do to me, but my dad is more than happy to just use the speakers on his Dell monitors.

This seems like a very loose definition of “violence.”

In the case of what wound up on Roman Numeral Ten (formerly twitter) that’s correct, but given the actual PDF dump from the gov, if they just slapped an annotation on top of the image it’ll be possible to remove it and reveal what’s underneath.

It was simpler than that. You can just copy the black highlighter text and paste it anywhere.

Guy who owns hate machine that lets you virtually undress children upset that guardrails are being erected to protect children.
