You’re unrealistically optimistic. The earth will cook us off the face of the planet along with 90% of species. It’s starting now and will take a few years to really get moving.

Don’t worry, we don’t have long enough left to institute an insect food delivery system of any note. Pretty soon the bugs will be eating us.

It’s been common parlance at least since Apple wanted to implement CSAM scanning of all iCloud saved images through a hashing technique. The backlash was so strong Apple now opposes CSAM scanning. This was two years ago-ish.

Why not save money on office space by letting those employees to work from their home?

Because they can’t control them at home.

He has three sets of charges coming total for now. “Honorable” Aileen Cannon is just one judge in his pocket for one set of charges. Other judges won’t be bought or threatened into letting him slither away.

It might help to understand that the GOP/Conservatives have no interest in being morally consistent. The only metric they have is our guys good, yours bad. Consistency doesn’t matter, being a team player does, and the goal is unrestricted power. Once they have that they don’t have to listen to anyone’s criticisms. Stop trying to reason in response to them.

Think I missed the “actually do it” part, definitely changes the context. I did a bad.

Considering the title and the entire article is in the future tense I’m going out on a limb here and stating that Apple has not yet pulled those products from the UK market.

Just a moment to note that Apple backtracked on all those threats about CSAM scanning and now doesn’t support the technology being implemented.

You had me at “zero taller ants”.

She’s been expelled from the Hard right caucus, shes losing political capital with her antics. Calling Boebert a bitch wasn’t a good move for her fascist buddies.

You can fuck aallll the way off with that condescending bullshit.

Once your face is scanned it is disseminated to several databases both Federal and State, which can be leaky. It can be passed around law enforcement circles, used on mesh camera networks to record movements in public (China is an example) and potentially used against you in ways you might not be aware of yet. The Chinese via tiktok and other sources such as hacking, are building dossiers on every American citizen they can get their hands on. The “it’s easy and I’ve got nothing to hide” rationale is what they’re banking on, makes their job really simple. Hell, people take fucking selfies and post them along with their name in the clear on the internet all time, those posts are scraped for security data and identity.

The chances you are neoliberal isn’t zero.

This is a great essay and an insightful read, thanks.

Political affiliation is not protected, religious affiliation is. It’s true that the Right has been doing their level best to politicise their religious feelings into public life, so that barring Trump supporters effectively excludes Evangelicals and a majority of Catholics. This may not be their desired outcome, but perhaps they shouldn’t have tied their religious sentiment to political causes.

“Some people in UK government maybe consider thinking about doing something because something happened”. Much better title.
