I’m pretty certain my country banned Kaspersky because they kept outing western backdoors and malware. And I would bet my life that Windows has supported free use government backdoors since at least Windows 10.

No, that’s just the most horrible thing both Trump and Harris support. Would you like me to list all of the other policies they’re both wrong on?

Prior to the Russian invasion, the far-right Ukrainians spent 8 years committing a genocide of ethnic Russians in the east. A number of human rights orgs called attention to it. I haven’t heard any of them accusing Russia of one.

Where? I haven’t read about a recent Russian genocide.

The Ukrainians are naming streets after and erecting statues of famous Nazis.

But wherever they are, take them out. Nazi lives don’t matter, whether Russian or Ukrainian.

It was the right move, but this needs to be expanded. Assume there are state actors from all of the major countries installing backdoors.

The digital war front will be getting hit from all sides. We need extreme paranoia to protect all of the innocent bystanders. Don’t assume even your own country is trustworthy in this.

US foreign policy is supporting literal Nazis in Ukraine, ISIS in Syria, and genocide in Palestine.

At this point, it’s less embarrassing to be falsely accused of being Russian than to be correctly accused of being American. We’re the bad guys.

Wow. You guys got lucky. All the users I supported with them had constant issues.

Leahy Law

I’m seriously shocked your surface is still running. I’ve never seen one last more than a year, and they usually required a lot of troubleshooting to keep them going that long.

That “career politician” refuses to follow the law, and stop supporting a genocide.

I’m just saying it seems like a more obtainable ask.

Why not just a case with a slide out Bluetooth keyboard in the back?

They’re still banning or driving away anyone outside of Musk’s echo chamber.

The vast majority of users are not big time contributors to the site’s quality content. But the content creators had the biggest targets on their back for retaliation. After so many bans over such a long period, there’s just less and less people to post quality content for the majority to consume.

Cracking down on narrative control doesn’t force the public to see things your way. It just drives them to other, more relevant platforms. Not sure how many times we need to go through this cycle for them to understand how futile this is.

Worker owned co-op with CEO duties coordinated by an AI.

Maybe. Or companies that are AI ran will outcompete the existing ones.

Billionaires also fall into the Gartner hype cycle. And convincing a billionaire there’s an opportunity to automate workers out of a job is a quick way to get an injection of cash.

It’s going to be generations before we are actually able to automate most labor. But long, long before that AI will be capable enough to replace overpaid CEO’s.

A handful of people’s excess is exactly the problem.

Which is why we need to not allow borrowing against assets to get over the maximum.

That’s like saying ‘I would be a great candy store clerk, because I love eating sugary snacks.’ Eventually you end up sick or diabetic.

The human brain can only handle so much. While we all have different tolerance levels, we still have a breaking point. We’re just primates, after all.
