Thanks for the insight, good to know.

I do have a Pico sitting around. Maybe I can use it for a thermometer project.

I might do this option, thanks!

The naming conventions nowadays for tech is just the stupidest sounding bullshit. Get the all new AMD AI Mega MAX+ AI Pro Ultra AI Quantum Pro Max.

If, somehow this next midterm election goes well, then maybe there’s a mild chance at a more peaceful methods. I doubt it. It’ll be business as usual in a few years. The next round of fascism will be elected in the next election, another neoliberal supporting genocide will be on the Democratic ticket and another round of madness of fascism ensues. Frankly, the US as a democracy has been officially dead since the Supreme Court gave the president immunity from anything. How can you run a democracy with such power in one person?

There’s undercover thugs kidnapping and murdering people. There’s a president making $6 million a day from illegal trading. There’s a new focus on domestic left wing “terrorism”. But not a peep from the masses. It’s business as usual, as always.

You’re almost there. Fight for democracy. The Nazis are in charge now and they’re fundamentally dismantling our democratic institutions. These CEOs are instrumental in this dismantling, there’s no more peaceful protests that will reverse this course. We’ve fought Nazis before, we’ll do it again.

For people who want an opinionated browser… Yes. They have sponsored shortcuts which cannot be disabled and they ghost out the option to in the settings. If you want to dig around the about:config and tweak things, fine, but I’d rather use a browser I can make my own. Librewolf is excellently bare bones.

Both. There’s a difference between showing some clerk your ID compared to uploading it to the internet. It’s not a question of if it being hacked. It will be. Denial of this is dangerous. If you don’t see this as important, you’re desensitized by the sheer number of yearly cyber attacks.

And that’s only the start. Children will only be marginalized. Protected groups will be increasingly threatened. Take your pick on whatever organization you want to look at, and they’ll say this doesn’t help anyone, except maybe foreign adversaries and hacking groups. What happens when the next government comes along and decides to make a more US kind of implementation? The point is, that we should not make this the precedent. Ever. Kick it while it’s down.

Explain basically every privacy, cyber security and child safety organization saying this is a bad idea, then.
