You haven't been involved with politics at a local level, have you? Just the bullshit going on with flock surveillance cameras being pushed through is a good microcosm of how politicians don't face consequences for failing to follow their constituents will.

People should, but I'm kind of tired of all the keyboard warriors thinking that lack of blood on the streets equals lack of action and explicit approval, especially when they have no skin in the fight themselves.

It's some of the most absurd shit. "I don't see you actively hunting down child abusers, so you must be a pedophile" ass opinions.

It's easy to call for others to die for a cause, and that's a large part of what led to the situation we're in now. People sitting back and sentencing others to pay for their desires.

Why would doing anything to the mic mount stop your moving from creaking the floor? Could you also not just select the frequency the creaks are making sounds at and cut the volume of just those when they occur in the recording?

"People weren't willing to throw their lives away in the people grinder machine, that means they fully support the people grinder machine"

Fuck. Roving bands of empty robo taxis DDoSing local roads wasn't on my bingo card.

They at least used to be toggle-able along with all the ideologically driven features. But the fact they're in the codebase at all is concerning.

The base Lemmy software is made by the people who run lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, but individual instances are run by all sorts of people.

Some people take questions like "are you upset?" as an accusation, so they don't want to point that at others.

Not good, not terrible.

Hey, I'll have you know that my psychosis induced delusions are 100% hand made. Artisanal even.

That plus the ever growing push for device linked personal ID on personally owned device feels like the real end goal. Governments can already snoop all web traffic. Now they want to close the gap on device level surveillance by pushing more and more people towards renting virtual devices with traceable payment methods. For people who don't, device link to personal ID means they no longer have any of that mess of having to prove ownership or who took the action.

Removing the tinfoil hat though, I really hope this causes cloud resource cost to drop through the floor.

This is what veracrypt containers are for. Family finds a huge file named Porn.Encrypted, knows what it is in general terms, and can't get in.

There are also various systems you can set up to automatically wipe stuff if you don't enter a password every set number of days, but I think the encrypted container is easier and less prone to loss due to laziness.
