Pfew, close one.

Wait a minute.

The politician play into the guilt. The people that know about the gaza war well enough are fully aware of this and we hate it. See Merz’ speech to the jewish lady a few weeks ago, where he started to “cry” because of her backstory. Can’t call out that it’s a move to support isreal, because that’s the place that germans currently associate Judaism with, because if you do, you’re an insensitive racist.

Let that sink in: You’re an insensitive racist because you don’t want politicians to cover up a current genocide with a past genocide.

Tell me more

Things like ad services, Android, other OSs, Hosting/Cloud, lot’s of other stuff. Wikipedia is a good resource.

Guys, hear me out. We take a gigantic carbon capture machine, and just pump as much electricity into it AS WE CAN. Because of the incredible energy consumption, we’ll be using the wood from the amazon rainforest as fuel, BUT IT’S OKAY because we’re just capturing that carbon. Oh also, governments gonna have to pay, it’s a social project after all.

Yes it is. If you mean that becaise of china, I don’t know why it would. Blossoming countries tend to open up. China is starting to blossom.

You’re welcome. :)

Me too, hellos!

Shit I forgot to install a firewall.

A single ssd with whatever formatting came with it, along with a webdav frontend I made myself. Very high security (confidentiality) actually, since I check for client side cert, user auth, biometrics (that’s plural), behavior recognition through a custom typing website and hardware token, but the integrity could use some help. And I’m painfully aware that someone could just steal my session.

I love security.
You’ll never get my duck nudes.

Letter. Also, people are suprisingly capable if they have no other choice. Don’t see it as an ultimatum. See it as an “I’m doing somehing good for me, this will impact our relationship, I provide a solution to that impact.”.

Banning openai is the equivalent of banning caramel. Sure, it’s gonna be missing, but there’s a million other candies and most people (outside of tech) wouldn’t even really realize it, if they weren’t told.

Google and Meta are different, because they are long standing quasi-monopolies. But even then we could move away from things like search or social media. Services that are more engrained and less visible are going to be the main enemy here.

And no, we’re not doomed. Far from it. This space is in the middle of development. Nothing is set in stone, giants fall left and right, new ones emerge aside them. You’re doing a doomerism.

Not really. I think what you’re on about (not in the british cunty sense), is that they’re part of a venture capitalist company, or got bought up by them and are thus for-profit. Such practices are, in reality, often connected to right-wing politics. Big tech being the best example.

You are not adding anything.

The desktop share statistics say otherwise

Let me guess, you tried, it’s gone, dissolved?

It just shouldn’t have a crack in it.

You made me proud.

Not all do, no. This isn’t even about pure privacy, more control, if you wanna keep the same session across reboots.

All this babbling about complex constructs, it’s really quite simple.

When we have no moments to outselves, when everything we know, we think, we do, is being recorded and processed (which it luckily isn’t yet), then regurgitated in one way or the other, we lose identity.
Identity is a core part of being human. There are reasons that other people shouldn’t know what we think, I think you can figure those out for yourselves.

So when someone says “They have nothing to hide”, then they ignore a fundamental part of themselves, which they need to live. It’s like saying someone doesn’t need eyebrows, because they have no emotions to show. It is just false.

Everybody has something they do not want others to know. Whether it is you thinking badly about your elders, which you do out of love and to protect them, or thinking how your colleague is doing something wrong, which will train you to be better than them in that instance.

Once these things are no longer private, identities break down and society does not work anymore. Socialism, capitalism, communism, all those depend on faces.

This is even true for the animal kindom. Or do you think a lion could catch prey, if the prey knows the lion’s thought, or the prey could escape the lion if the lion knew the prey’s thoughts?

There are places where privacy can be instrumentalized, but that’s where we can do something against it. The problem is about finding the fine line where we maximize privacy for a healthy society, while minimizing potential issues through it. We’re way past that line.
