"My parents were a bunch of homophobic racists, so it's OK for me to be a bigot today."
"I grew up with domestic violence, so beating up my kids is just my way of being nostalgic."
These statements sound insane, don't they? Well, they're perfectly analogous to what you said. You're making it sound as if growing up with something makes it an immutable fact of one's life. They aren't. As we obtain better judgement of the world around us, we can grow out of things just like we once grew into them.
Google has been a terrible company for a long time now, and recently it has even become an active supporter of the fascist regime trying to establish itself in the U.S.
I'm not saying decoupling from the big tech oligopolies is easy; it isn't. But not even making a conscious effort to even try, that amounts to being complicit in, if not supportive of the fascist takeover.
Thanks for enlightening the unenlightened, mate! This meme seems to have escaped me. I guess the casual non-mention of the upside-down sunglasses on both her and her mother is part of the fun.
Agreed, this can be read both ways. It just goes to show that companies don't give a shit about right or wrong, legal or illegal, and they'll willingly collaborate with democratic institutions and oppressive regimes alike as long as it suits their bottom line.
The handoff (if you can call it that) was extremely sketchy, including the "explanation" on the Syncthing forums. Made me switch to Nel0x's fork of the app.
I don't disagree on the longstanding corruption problem. Yet I uphold the claim that this does not just expose the system to domestic, but also foreign corruption and influence.
"Disproven conspiracy"? In light of the multitude of connections between Trump (or his cronies) and the Kremlin that show up in the most recent batch of the Epstein files, I guess we're on the verge of making that a proven conspiracy.
Until then, just looking at Trump's track record is enough to convince me Trump is 100% enacting orders from Moscow. Why else would he
withholding and threaten to cut Ukraine off from American military aid.
drive a wedge between the US and its former Western allies.
give D0GE unfettered access to the government's most sensitive information (including nuclear ones), only to then have Russian IP addresses try to connect?
gut USAID, thus putting more pressure on Europe through increasing refugee streams
Not an American here, nor a defender of what people did or didn't vote for.
What I was getting at was the massive media manipulation from outside and inside and the obvious foreign control the Dear Leader is under. With the deadly combination of of poor education, widespread media illiteracy and pervasive social media, our democracies have become even more remotely-controllable for whoever is willing to put the money in.
Great. Now they're building infrastructure and industry atop a stolen Trojan Horse, which may still bite them the moment the little oange man tells Nadella to flip the switch.
Well, there's no license because there is no code on their Github. They claim their P2P framework is open source. Yet, that is just the part that allows clients to connect. But I also need to check that what is transferred through that connection is truly encrypted. And if there's no code, there's no basis to even develop trust.
This is the second time I stumble across Keet this week. It sounds interesting, and yet it appears not to be open source. All I could find is a Github page where they publish their APKs, but no source whatsoever. Is it really closed source? Because I don't to "trust me, bruh" crypto.
Golly, this thing looks like it has... seen... a lot of action. Is anyone still using that tool? That looks highly unhealthy.
