Order placed with Waitrose for £63.27.

Do you wish to go ahead with the extra $4.99?"

@cmconseils Does it even count as humour if it's just straight facts?

@cmconseils

It's funny because it's true!

@cmconseils I can't wait to retire and live like my Amish neighbors.
@Ponygirl yes, but I hope for techno-amish with at least 80x25 characters on terminal... @cmconseils

@cmconseils Yeah, what's with that?

@cmconseils pffft. The lower panel is so 2018.

Hey agentic wiretap, order pancakes from closest open place with 4 stars and add it to my Klarna.

@cmconseils

There were those of us in the 60s for whom NOT having one's place wiretapped was an embarrassment...

@cmconseils honestly I go with if they want to spy we're all carrying convenient tech with us to do so....aka our phones

@cmconseils

Poison their data instead

@cmconseils Nice images. Curiously, while in graduate school in the late 1960s, some major national issue occurred that had lots of people angry. A friend mentioned that Noam Chomsky's answering service (this was before home answering machines) cut him off because he was being swamped with phone calls. It got restored quickly, with a rumor that the FBI complained to the answering service - no messages meant nothing to wiretap. Some might call that "government service."

@cmconseils

It is amazing that the police still need a warrant to tap into a land line, but they have almost immediate access to your cellphone data.

We need a new way.

@davevolek @cmconseils Yes, we need to reassert the Fourth Amendment on everything electronic and virtual in this country to keep the police and our government, as well as our criminal corporations, out of our devices and lives.
@davevolek
Nah, now that landlines are VOIP, they have that too.
@cmconseils

@davevolek @cmconseils

walking down a busy street and talking when there's loud traffic is still viable.

@cmconseils "i better not say that because my house might have been wiretapped by government" no? for logic sake.

@eiskjchs
No, it's logical. The *phone* might have been wiretapped, and she doesn't want the government to also tap the house.

@cmconseils

@leadore @cmconseils what is wiretapping "the house" if not wiretapping the telephone?
Covert listening device - Wikipedia

@leadore @cmconseils there is a difference between a bug and a wiretap

@eiskjchs
In that case, better call the supervisor at the meme factory and report a ... bug <-- 🤪

@cmconseils

@leadore @cmconseils ses thats what i did. and you were saying there aint any
@cmconseils its funny because its true ...
