@becomethewaifu @dalias @Azuaron @Em0nM4stodon My guess is they're trying to dodge that with their indicator light that's supposed to be on when it's recording. Which of course is easily disabled, but that's done by the end user, not the corporation themselves so they couldn't be held liable

@Azuaron @Em0nM4stodon IIRC wiretapping doesn't apply in "public places" - otherwise anyone just taking regular videos or security cameras or Ring cameras would be illegal.

Is Project Hail Mary about Catholics, Football, or potentially a Catholic Football team?

It's pretty arrogant for a man with 35% approval ratings to say how a country's citizens should overthrow their unpopular government.

You know, maybe politicians would be less excited to say "we will punish civilians until the civilians rise up and remove their politicians from power" if they thought for a moment that they might be giving their own citizens ideas.

@hrefna Same is true even between ICE/CBP and cops. Immigration law is weird and the courts have given far more latitude for CBP to violate 4th and 5th amendment rights than cops.

Sometimes I think about how weird it is that I can press on a piece of glass and plastic that sends a signal hundreds or thousands of miles to systems that then trigger a complicated interconnected system of picking, packaging, shipping and delivering a product to my house that itself had parts and labor and equipment and energy invested in its creation that crosses the globe many times over.

Somehow NYT articles that are marked as Gift Articles are still paywalling me ... Whatever NYT I don't click on your stupid terfy paper most of the time anyways

@dalias At least for me, I keep all of my personal data backups on cloud storage, so I don't mind just wiping my drive and reinstalling. Hell, I should probably do that more often "just in case". I'm not quite there yet, but I probably could get it down to a reimaging script that automates the whole post-install config and setup

Hey men, especially white men in "white collar" jobs, think about just how rare it is for you to be in a meeting where white men aren't at least the plurality, if not the outright majority of the people "in the room".

I guess if I wanted to try and give an excuse for them: social media platforms can't ban sexual predators without banning 2/3 of MAGA.

SMH at the fact that these lawsuits against Meta and co about the dangers their apps expose to children are being met not with back end technical changes like better moderation and less addictive algorithms. No, they're just getting rid of E2EE and making everyone turn over even more PII.

@matty I mean, I get it. It's hard to let go of a lifelong fandom community. But when the creator of that work is a known associate of one of the worst pedophile ring kingpins in recent knowledge, and is actively working towards the genocide of a whole group of people you want to claim to be friends and allies of ... You can fucking pick something else to be a fan of.

I have no trust nor respect in anyone who still supports the Harry Potter fandom or media properties or merch or even fan made content in the slightest.

When I was last on dating sites in 2021, there were still (presumably) cis lesbians putting their Harry Potter house in their bio. I see people buying HP Legos. Getting excited about the new show. I don't give a shit if it's your childhood. So was Sabrina the Teenage Witch. You grow up and find new things to make your personality. Fuck. You.

@skinnylatte Are there campsite scalpers now?

@dalias If they still work okay, sure. But if they're the kind that are half empty and don't work well, I wouldn't want them to have to deal with them.

It is a weird feeling when you realize you're an adult with money, and you can just buy packs of your favorite pens and throw away the ones you don't like, or the ones that only kinda sorta work, or the mostly dead ones you have to scribble a bunch to get them to work. You don't HAVE to just use random free ballpoint pens for forever

Remember to conserve water everywhere you possibly can. The data centers are thirsty.

@401matthall @Lana "Some boys love other boys. Some girls love other girls. Some people love many genders, others love no genders. It's fine."
