I live in America but you could call me Europe because, yeah, same.

Though, I guess, if my services are hosted at home they're technically American services... Though not always running American software.

    The US government should do the same.

    If this is the place where we tell the U S government what they should do, then they should go fuck themselves. Sorry bunch of pathetic wankers.

    Change is still possible. The one beautiful thing about our current administration is the searing light it has shone on the way our institutions have been corrupted.

    Hopefully we can use that going forward.

    Until the vast majority of voters who are too self-absorbed to bother understanding how they're being led around the nose into screwing themselves — and blaming the wrong people for said screwing — nothing of any real significance will change. All those dystopian movies have it right: the masses will march like lemmings straight to their own doom before they even begin to question what they're told. There aren't enough of us who know better to stop this inevitability.

    I'm not a huge fan of the, "I'm awake and everyone else is asleep" trope.

    There seems to be a bit of "energy" building as a result of the current admins practices.

    I won't try to predict the outcome, but I'm putting positive energy into the universe for a good one.

    Maybe the source reporting it too. The craziest part of this article is that some clown collected 40 sources detailing how entire governments - whole ass militaries - are concerned by these programs and services, and the clown compiles and shares all this information on those very services. Their entire 'timeline' is a Google doc linked in the article. Are they trying to be funny? It comes across as incredibly fucking stupid.

    If They are still working with palantir and enacting the Larry Ellison/Rothschild online ID then I call bullshit.
