The raising people out of poverty GOAT, my eternal King, may he only know good things.
honestly what you’ve done is what I did too and its not that big of a deal imo. Once you adjust to it. I’d challenge your kids to like take a “cleanse” from social media for example as a family. Maybe go on a camping trip and use 0 tech the entire time. See how they like it. Sometimes people don’t even realize how tech changes their lives until they have a moment away from it.
Honestly kids understand a lot more than people give them credit for. I think if you just explained it to them in plain english they’d get it.
So genuinely I think making a new sect of a religion that is entirely focused on privacy could be a genius move. Maybe the Satanist Church? They’re already a thing maybe they’d be down for it. Then everyone who is into privacy just cites their religious beliefs whenever they get pushback. The religious in the US are like the most protected class of people there is. So taking advantage of that could be super effective.
Edit: It’s The Satanist Temple I was thinking of and these are their current tenets: I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason. II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own. V Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs. VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused. VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
I think you could easily argue Tenet 3 for this case.
You have a lot of sway as a parent over the school systems in the US so I’d throw a fit. Maybe even contact some other parents and get together to all throw a fit about this. One person is easier to ignore. This sounds like a complete and total invasion of privacy to the point its mentally conditioning your kid to accept just being monitored by the government 24/7 as an adult. I wouldn’t accept it.
Linux is so user friendly it will delete vital files when you tell it too and break your system. I think BSD should take it a step further. Just start to randomly do it just to fuck with people.
The answer is yes. The people who run businesses like this are genuinely stupid. It’s just true and ubiquitos in the industry. When all these companies are run by old people who don’t know anything about technology this is what happens. I bet they didn’t even know their freezers were vulnerable. Someone probably just told them, “It’s secure.” and they said, “Oh, well in that case we’re fine! Good to know.” They don’t know the difference between internet connected and airgapped systems.
Tell me about it. Like don’t get me started on days of the week. What do we need to name them for? Like “Oh this is ‘Tuesday’” Whatever that’s supposed to mean. Real humans just need today, yesterday, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, etc. Everyones always waiting for Friday. Why? Because the boss says you have to work until then. I say we just make every day a weekend.
“Stop lovingly handcrafting all of our code and use ai more”
For a company that is supposed to be all about security/privacy basically saying “Stop worrying so much about the quality of our code” is something else.
Yeah to put that in perspective I just checked and spot-dl an extremely well known and popular spotify downloader utility that is many years old has 26k. Thousands of stars is hard to get. it’s github not facebook.
Yeah it gets odder the more you look at it. It’s a very new repo and apparently got 4k stars. And a few days ago it had half that. It also has 400+ forks for some reason. Then you’ve got like really detailed proposals being put into issues by accounts like this: https://github.com/shadikiwan which have literally no activity after 2024 until now.
This is what was posted by that account: https://github.com/interplains/Zero-Breach-Toolkit/issues/23
It’s formatted cleanly, almost as if an AI made it.
3 contributors to the project but basically everything is the one main account. https://github.com/interplains which has not done anything on github this year until a few days ago when this whole thing started to be put out there.
This is really new, and has a weird pace of development that makes me suspect it is vibe coded. I also doubt its code has actually been audited despite being open source. So while an interesting project I would not run this on your devices atleast as of yet.
I remember reading awhile back how the Israeli’s were having a lot of success manipulating what LLMs say about Israel, and the genocide of Palestinians too. LLMs are going to be used to brainwash so many fucking people. Honestly going to? They already are. Idk why I even said it like it’s not already happening.
On my laptop I have a physical cover, but on my pixel 6 running graphene os the cam is built into the screen so its hard to cover without the screen being covered. I just use the off switch in Graphene for it and the mic.
Oh I haven’t used microsoft office so I don’t know what it looks like. I just use what LibreOffice gives by default.
It would be nearly impossible to prove in a court of law that was not your real profile. All you’d have to do is say that is your travel phone and you don’t use it for much.
Even better a reason to show your kids early they don’t have to do it to begin with.
