This is one of the kinds of things surveillance cameras get used for that we're supposed to pretend never happens. Snowden talked about employees creeping on people using NSA surveillance. Police officers use surveillance to creep on people. And they're right-wingers who are the least professional and moral people in the world, given all the power and control over these things (because they're developed by right-wingers).

And it's just a side effect of being able to track activists.

You need to figure out what B-Bus API is called to open the URL, and block it using the flatpak run argument --no-talk-name=NAME

It's a Chinese Wi-Fi module for a PC! With Linux drivers!

I wonder if they're going to have open source Linux drivers eventually like AMD and Intel. Otherwise what the hell is the point?

yeah what's up with the "gaits" in AI videos? People always run like an old person.

They're labor aristocrats. Their relationship to the means of production is that keeping things the way they are gives them a better quality of life than a just society would. I don't think it's necessarily worth people's time trying to organize labor aristocrats just for the heck of it.

There are already unions for various labor aristocratic jobs. They aren't revolutionary or progressive. They aren't advancing socialism or whatever.

Here's SPEEA, a "professional aerospace union": https://speea.org/

Does it seem like it could be part of a revolutionary movement?

And most people don't really care whether they're technically part of the 1% or whatever. People know how their bread gets buttered and want to keep their quality of life.

I do not think it is the monetary value that is the problem. I think it is the inequity and the labor exploitation/relationship to the MoP that is the problem.

I assure you nobody actually cares about some technical relationship to the means of production. I don't care about this. I care about my quality of life. It is almost entirely the monetary value that people care about.

his class interests should be more in line with other wage workers

No they aren't lmao. Nobody is making 250k sending emails in a just society.

I guess it's a bit less weird since it's from the mummy's gut. But still kind of a weird fetishism of consuming stuff from a mummy. Kind of disrespectful, kinda not, but weird in general.

This is just an extension of Egyptomania when wealthy British/Americans were eating mummies.

You can't even do builds of Rust crates without running a package repository server.

That's the neat thing, they don't want international visitors. So no more tourism.

He looked more wrinkly at the V Day parade. The videos are a bit low res so it's kinda hard to tell.

They're taking money from AI companies to "provide AI tools" to people at the ASF. Can't believe even open source development orgs are pushing AI down people's throats too.

Of course this is also happening at all ICE facilities, and US prisons, and CECOT, and black sites, and so on.
