LLMeat with a complete lack of self-awareness, adding to the anthropological slop of ill-formed thoughts about life (in Ireland), living with multiple sclerosis, lone parenting, neurodivergence, digital rights, privacy, gaming and engineering.

And when it comes to Chat Control (which seems to be really badly thought out by all reports), surely the actual, and legitimate, motivation is that police everywhere are seeing these horrible crimes being committed, but can't prosecute without having legally obtained evidence?

I'm talking about Peter Thiel and Palantin, of course.

Is it not suspicious, that the Conservative who advocated for lack of regulation, gets all their money / power / influence by being the go-to information broker for international intelligence?

I get that privacy on the Internet is very nice, and I'm very much in favor of it.

I do wonder how we got to believe it is a "right" though? I've never owned my own network, I've always had to use someone else's, and I have never believed I had any privacy because of that.

The one person who seems to have swayed the argument for lack of regulation, back at the beginning, now runs the world's biggest spying operations selling information to governments

I think it's finally going to be year of Linux on the desktop in a couple years. The only trouble is it will only be because the other two operating systems became worse than Linux.
A reminder that software makers, hardware makers, cloud services, payment processors, and the like will throw their customers under the bus whenever it suits them. Your payment card, food delivery account, AWS instance, Gmail address -- all can be taken away on a whim for any reason or no reason. These providers are NOT your friend. Make plans now. Have backups in place. Practice self-reliance. Ween yourself off these one at a time.

Channel 4 News in a full TV studio with "podcast" microphones shoved into people's faces. Good Mortifuck and all that is holey.

(I love podcasts, I love RSS, but this is such bullshit). I suppose they'll do vertical video next.
