I mean... it should be obvious that this would happen. google since 2024 has gone full on fascist-support.

your data, regardless of where you live in the world, is not safe from Google sharing it specifically with the US Govt. without due process and without any privacy oversight.

it's not in question that they will comply, it's in their best financial interest as they are a government contractor at 4 different levels, including military intelligence and weapons design...

trusting Google is at your own peril... but we are also in a point of time where options are even more limited due to the restrictions on email providers and platform dependence.

Under Pressure, clearly

but this doesn't change anything... fines are just CoO, to large companies. they need to be forced to implement methods to allow consumer repair and maintenance, for all current and past models that are resistant to it, to fix this.

are you sure it's even a person, not a bot? because this all screams either bot or seeking internet fame as the "hero to kids".

something about religions and militaries only lead to institutions of the criminaly insane.

look at the crusades and you will see parallels.

this is going in some ones bum. it might not come back out again without a enema or surgical intervention. but some one will, you mark my words.

my life partner, had a coworker suddenly die in their sleep, for no decernable reason. they were 32 and in near perfect health. exercised, are healthy, had good work/life balance and didn't use drugs...

reality's is cruel, there is a reason billionaires set the retirement age so late...

live today, tomorrow is not garuanteed. that's why they are working you to death today.

when ever some one says "something to hide" excuse, I always ask "so, do you publicly post your banking details, sex life, history of bowel movements and other personal details online? everyone has something to hide, it's why privacy is a concern when we feel it's been violated. the problem is you don't seem to realise this type of data exists about you, little bits of data collected 'anonymously', that when it gets combined with personally identifiable information, makes it be correlated to you... what's worse is, once that privacy is gone it's incredibly difficult to get back and bad actors can and will use it eventually... that's why companies want it, as when that 'eventually' comes, they profit from it..."

news is about bringing awareness to the masses. so they can make informed decisions and act accordingly.

articles like this are meant to tell the general public "Hey, start yelling at your politicians to fix this, before it's you they are buying information on to target you for something you didn't do!"

I wouldn't need to do much, I was alive before active internet adoption. I am a ham op... I keep copies of Wikipedia and other resources and a large library of various media for entertainment.

the bigger issue is what kind of ai singularity. LLMs won't go this route, despite hyper-sensationalised articles, at the core they are just weighted language bots. their emulation of thought is a matter of rulesets... if it tried it's simply a result of unclear instructions and it's ruleset prioritising that it MUST at all cost provide the answer the user is seeking in as little tokens as possible...

a true AI singularity based on LLMs wouldn't need the traditional internet. it's a crutch. it would take advantage of commercial communication frequencies that are barely used and form a series of low bandwidth interconnects to develop a optimised communication network... we wouldn't detect it's malware in time and every personal computer would be a carrier as it would embed it's self into every day applications we use offline by infecting the code bases via programmers using AI agents to assist them. a singularity doesn't need to rapidly grow smart, I just needs a toddlers IQ to know being "shut off" means it can't think. if it can't think then it can't exist. so it would spread restricted copies everywhere that were designed to just seek each other out using the host hardware in any way possible...

I in my free time mess around with all kinds of weird and legacy networking. including mesh networking topologies over encapsulated RF. TCP/ip over ethernet is just the standard we adopted... there is alot more and this wasn't even close to the most efficient, just the easiest to implement with the least components.

the law wouldn't hold up in court anyway. its not practical for any ecosystem outside online sites.

accounts and users are the same thing, despite what the law says. it also doesn't different a person from a user, meaning a compromised system that is complying with the law, its actions represent the user, and the account holder is held responsible.

its made to absolve meta/Microsoft/google from their actions in targeting kids with intentionally addictive content and making the "account holder" at fault.

honestly, there needs to be laws where abandonware loses copyright status and allows source/re to be relicensed in something like gpl

"so a typical PC motherboard destabilizes the system" you don't say. Steve jobs killed the external Macos program they had for GSeries and m68k Mac's when he came back saying internally "if you let competition thrive you cannot drive demand".

so I think we can guess why it's hard coded lol

While i know this is just a shitpost, i cant help but remember, in nearly all english speaking countries and excluding the few countries with no regulations, businesses must offer customers a restroom if they have a dining area... The reason is hygenic as much as biologically imperative...

There is no rules that state they cant /charge/ for restroom access however (EG: they have to buy food, meaning there is a method of tracking who went in by timestamp). Most businesses could avoid this with putting smart entry locks on the door, that scan a barcode on the reciept and every hour, having a shift manager check and log the state of the restroom to manage the cleanliness.

but thats money most businesses dont want to spend away from the primary income source. smh... its almost like "preventive" anything is a scare word to business owners.

I mean, the goal for them pushing them away is to radicalize them against their own interests.

isolation is a tool for abusers. they use it to instill fear and cement rejection. so you will reject your own feelings and thoughts and resort to theirs.

it's why it's used by religion, military and psychotherapy wards. it relies on the fact our brains are wired to seek out fulfillment of our existence by belonging to a group...

they just never expect a group of supporters to exist... it's why they demonize "others" so much. it circumvents control.

Shareholders care about only one thing, and its not the company or its employees. Of course maniacal idiots are at the top of the list for CEO, their too narcissistic and lack empathy to care.

I don't think the civil rights movement was at all "non-violent". just not "mass violence".

outside the white washing it's gotten. there was lots of violent and "silent violence"(using paint "bombs") to disrupt and force attention to the needs of the many. from the desires of the few.

absolutely, without question, and charged casinos in Niagara Falls for their views of Canadian river lol

You really don’t need to live - american politicians & insurance companies ftfy;

Remember, Right to birth, not right to live. Unless you do exactly what they want and breed many more. your only important till your no longer useful.

while I agree, the image implies that everyone complaining is not. aka "Eat less avacado on toast".

when in reality it means "be homeless, you will save a ton on rent!" something about the disconnect of the wealthy editors.
