I mean we can install data sensing butt plugs into every last citizen and get even more data and even more security.

Yes and no. Like towns have town halls where such issues are voted on or debated. There are most definitely actions individuals and more importantly communities can take to stop the spread of distributed surveillance. There are already laws about filming in private locations aka it’s currently illegal for someone to be filming in a public restroom or in your house or in a business they don’t own.

Yeah it’s a more jarring and immediate concern than the amorphous state level data collection and profiling concern of distributed systems although both boil down to privacy concerns. Like its one thing to have a dash cam in your car or a household security camera or even for a business to have internal and external security cameras it’s another thing all together for the state to have a distributed camera network accurately tracking everything you’re doing or for an Individual to be illegally recording in private locations to make compromising content.

How do we feel about flock or similar camera networks around the world? Like yeah a dude with cameras on his face is one issue and then there’s the systemic distribution of millions of cameras which is arguably worse but feels more normal to many.

Hey wanna come over to my place later? I’m like very hydrated.

And then vote to take money from everyone to subsidize the drinks of the richest man in the bar because it’ll trickle down or some shit.

As someone who’s pretty content with life lived already, I’m cool with that.

Nice, I do a lot of this through other means. Like my taskbar is set up for ! notation. Thanks for the information. I’ll definitely give it a try.

Thanks, I’ll check it out… I mainly use ddg currently…

I’ll check it out. Any opinion of it over something like duckduckgo?

What’s your choice search engine?

Not the same but you can use a terminal browser like lynx, links2, w3m, or browsh and pipe the output wherever you want. Similarly you can force standard browsers to run in an html only mode.

I’m not sure the evidence that’s available here is proof enough she was distracted driving.

Would be funny if it was a more modern vehicle, with a massive ipad that’s nearly bolted to your forehead and has displays on the back of every headrest.

Nah the propaganda told me it’s all the leader’s good work making the country so amazing.

Yeah man they keep voting for the same guy every single time, like everyone. He must be a great leader.

Nah man China is like a utopia or something.

It’s never about everyone, all ideas are a numbers game, same for whatever is considered culture. If it’s just one guy he’s crazy, if it’s a few hundred or thousand it’s a cult, if it’s a few million to a billion then it’s a culture.

Idk about you but pickles can be a meal, maybe add some deli meat, cheese, and crackers, but honestly just pickles is good too.

That’s quite a story. Cucumber soup sounds not good. Agua fresca is the way to go. Maybe make a Japanese Sunomono salad. Obviously just make pickles.
