So now what the hell do we have to use to not be spied upon?

Today’s new cars come stuffed with some 1,000 to 3,000 semiconductor chips that help to control and coordinate everything from lowering windows and adjusting mirrors to deploying airbags, enabling collision avoidance systems, pairing phones with center consoles and displays, and coordinating navigation.

Seriously? Am I the only one thinking this could be done with less than 10 chips at most? For what the cost of the car is, you can easily run a normal off the shelf mobo with 8BG memory. Add in a few extra chips for analog control, etc, where does that number 1000-3000 come from? That is insane

Switch to jellyfin, it's really at the point where it's ready for everyone

Buy a burner, keep the battery out until you arrive at the protest, remove the battery when you leave the protest. Don't store any phone numbers in that phone.

Not that protesting will do anything anymore, that time has come and gone

Nothing of consequence, nobody is.

Yeah, here and there some may say that ooohh, trump bad!

He just beheaded the military which is literally the pre-last step needed. All he needs to do now is put trump loyalists in those positions, have them purge the rest of the top to ensure all are pro trump and them what's going to stop him?

AOC? She'll mysteriously disappear, next question.

Who is going to stop these fuckwads?

Next up, Canada will become the 51st state. Don't wanna? Nuke Vancouver, who is going to stop him? What, Europe? They can get a few nukes too if they don't like it, he has enough.

Next up, Panama becomes a US state. Don't like it? See a pattern?

Next up, Greenland, and so on.

NOBODY HAS DONE ANYTHING. The US is always ALWAYS boasting about self sacrifice and the one hero who saves all, or maybe a group that bands together and goes against all odds and die in the process and and and... Nothing. So far the biggest actions I've seen were people resigning in protest, making even easier for trump WTF.

Ooohh, ther ehave been protests! Some cities had dozens of people, some even had hundreds!! Whooooo, Cheeto must be shitting bricks now!!

Nobody has done anything.

These are people whondobt care about laws

These are people that don't care about consequences, nor do they have the ability to think about consequences

These are people who don't care if you, or millions like you will die. Fuck you, die already, give us what we want.

In part, these are people who are working diligently to bring about the apocalypse so that jeebus christ will return or some delusional shit like that, and now they have access to nukes. Great going assholes (yes, if you're American, that means you) YOU DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO FUCKING STOP ANY OF THIS.

Oh, what? You think that you did your job by voting? Well that sure wasn't enough. These fuckers will fuck the world, when is someone going to do something to actually stop all of this shit?

Honestly, I don't think anyone can do anything anymore anyway. Something could have been done by Biden. He had the extraordinary presidential powers, he could have simply stopped trump by pulling a trump. He refused, needed to do "the right thing" and fuck the world over in the process. Well done, asshole, hope you feel good about yourself.

I think we're all fucked. I used to worry about climate change as I have a reasonable understanding of what it takes to stop it, let alone start to reverse it. It will take a huge effort and sacrifice from everyone in the world and we've done shit all and don't care. Don't worry if you live through trump (there is a good non zero chance that you won't), climate change will end you.

Now I'm just worried about the world being destroyed beyond repair by trump already because again, nobody cares to actually stop all of them.

I'm kind of in the zone where I kust let it happen , once they come for me, I'll be happy with my wife, we had an awesome run together, when we die, we will be happy in eachothers arms.

Free speech, as long as they like the free speech.

Watch what a bunch of black people or university students start a protest

Then again, you already know this...

Nah, Lecter was educated, smart, and charismatic.

None of this will ever gain any traction ever unless

A) it's as simple to use as the alternatives B) users actually start using it

Yeah, and Jews in WWII would disagree with you.

It's always easy to find a very specific group of people that are having a horrible time, that doesn't mean that on average, humans live better and safer than in the entire history of humanity. Sure, the last 10 years saw a bit of a down turn, but thing are still way better than, say, 40 years ago.

I guess it's hard to remember how really hard life could be

No-one is saying that all is fine. Yes, there are loads of big issues right now, but we're still living better and safer than 99% of all the humans that have ever lived. We are not living Ina dystopian world.
