Is it legal for a service to be called private when it is programmatically shared with law enforcement?
Gonna need a new piece of software which blocks unwanted microphone surveillance.
It's interesting to think of the desire to avoid Universal Basic Income in the context of Trump's recent outburst about communism. Raimando was a democrat, not a republican. There are times when the parties sound too much the same.
Could be a motive to disallow the sale of cannabis seeds.
How many words do you require? I wrote, "There's no climate change." The Trump admin is well known for considering climate change a hoax. However, this story is what I had in mind when I wrote that sentence, I'm pretty sure it was a Lemmy.world link from the same day, although I do get text-based news elsewhere.
I also wrote, "Renewable energy plants are too expensive!" Note the exclamation point"!". I often use it instead of a smiley or a sarcasm mark. Sarcasm doesn't really apply to a truthful observation, such as "I wish it was sarcasm," and I'm often in a state of indecision in such cases. But perhaps my posting history would explain better? I'm not sure what 35 square miles of photovoltaics would cost, I seem to recall "billions" of dollars being mentioned. What is the cost of some natural gas turbines in comparison?
Do you suppose if and when Democrats take back power from Republicans, these natural-gas turbines can be legally shut down and renewable-energy plants mandated? Will they be allowed to continue operations instead? Do you suppose that the powers that be will just extract every last barrel of crude they can extract and turn it into CO2?
There's no climate change. Renewable energy plants are too expensive!
In California, decades ago we used to be able to throw away our household trash in one container. Now we have 3 containers, and it's recently become a fine-profit center: if folks don't properly separate their recycling, greenery, and trash components, the AI-surveillance cameras mounted on the trucks will catch it and fine the subscriber (never mind that these trash-recycling-greenery containers are unlocked and on the street where anyone can open and toss something in). In similar fashion, if society adopts robots for household chores, how long until household inspections are held to fine people (as a profit center) who don't keep their homes sufficiently neat?
It used to be that airplanes had to keep 1000 feet of altitude over residential areas. A drone with its camera can come right up to your front door? Fly over your home, take pictures of your yard?
