The username is the joke.
I’m not putting in more effort than you clowns unless I feel like it lol
Whenever I point out the language of linux users being almost exclusively English I get a lot of comments about how that’s racist or something.
Linux is almost all english, a bit of german, a tiny bit of russian, and an extreme minority of other languages. When you filter by english/linux you see a ton more higher end hardware than global results that include countless not-wealthy nations with household incomes under 10k/year, which is most of the world.
The various news sites out there that want to spread their own version of influence and generate their own revenue take this kind of information and use it to see how you click on things, what drives your engagement, what you will go on to share with others, and how you talk about all of it. It’s all tied together.
Big money interests run basically everything in this world. We are just cattle, we will always be just cattle. I’m in countless databases like all of you, and we’re all fucked by the system we think we might some day to cheat our way above the other rats. The noose is tied tight though… there’s not much room left to struggle. It’s too late to escape it. Palantir and Flock are here to close the loop and they aren’t going anywhere, even if the street cameras are likely to be hidden in the future and more tamper proof rather than obvious to the public. Doesn’t matter if the laws change to ban it or you can convince local government to not get involved with it - it’s way too easy to hide cameras with modern technology. Just give it time and your credit score and auto insurance will incorporate flock data ;)
I swear people do not understand the point of what microsoft does.
There isn’t a team tasked with making teams worse. They’re tasked with extracting all possible value out of their product. Part of that value is infromation like where you are, what you’re doing, what you’re talking about, what you search for, what you actually do for your job, who is around you, what they talk about, where they are, what they are doing, what they search for, and what they do for their job and how everyone spends their money.
All of this is incredibly valuable data to governments, businesses and private individuals that want to advertise, suppress dissenting political voices, enhance useful dissenting political voices, and otherwise manipulate global influence.
They just don’t want you to think about declining any permissions, triggering regulatory action, or switching to another platform.
It’s because this administration wants to use AI/ML to create a list of domestic strike targets based on people who have said things dumpy doesn’t like.
That’s not really parental supervision though. Knowing what kind of content that exists and that a child can interact with should be one of the most important considerations when allowing kids to access something. Not just the amount of time in a period they are allowed to do so.
I can’t imagine how “parental supervision” could exist without understanding how to use what they are supervising.
Can’t interfere with that revenue growth
Shareholders need to be held accountable for the unethical, immoral and illegal activities of their owned businesses. Until there is a financial incentive for business to be run ethically, morally and legally for the shareholders, nothing will ever change. It is perhaps the biggest problem with capitalism today.
I wish there was a solution for this, but it sounds like the only way to fix the problem is regulation.
Good luck with that, we can’t bribe this administration as well as the auto lobby can.
There’s going to be latency because the NIC on both ends still communicates with copper to the rest of the computer system(s.)
Still going to be faster than a fiber connection or copper. Not to mention the latency induced by say the IEX Magic Box.

Oh yeah it’s totally deleted from that one server! Of course all information is kept for “quality and training purposes” and to hand over to palantir and whoever is willing to pay.
They’re already paying all the manufacturers for the driver telemetry anyway, probably through third party brokers because everything must be obfuscated.
I think they like having multiple layers of confirmation that way if one is regulated away for some reason like ‘privacy’ or ‘technically anyone could be driving’ then they have fallbacks and legal deniability for the data being inherently flawed.
