It’s been tried. The gatekeeping of GIMP’s monstrously horrific UI/UX is both vicious and impenetrable.

Sorry, someone already “owns” that land. Your home is prison now.

303 natives were convicted and sentenced to death following the Dakota War of 1862. Lincoln actually commuted the sentences of 264 of those natives, allowing the convictions to stand only for those he believed personally engaged in the murder of innocent women and children.

Therefore, the last one is deliberately and intentionally misleading.

Next, they should ban hate speech from their own forums.

I didn’t realize that. What’re the best Proton alternatives?

It’s not just government that is the problem. The problem is that the data has been collected. It’s still being collected. It already exists. And think about that incompetence you mentioned… do you think that data is safe from less incompetent actors?

The best time for action on protecting privacy was yesterday. The second best is right now.

I never said something shouldn’t be done about it or that it shouldn’t exist. I consider privacy a natural right that we should fight to protect. I’m just saying that, whether people realize it or not, it no longer exists. It has already been taken away, and the repercussions of that reality are going to echo through time.

Privacy no longer exists; it’s now little more than an illusion.

If you use modern technology at all, even your own thoughts aren’t safe. Existing ad tech can intuit what you are thinking before you are even aware of it, and AI will be able to dig even deeper into your mind in the near future. There is no escape.

Fire and brimstone preachers used to scream about how God was always watching, but regardless of whether you believe in that sort thing, one thing is true: technology is always watching, and your identity and innermost thoughts can be reassembled at any time by any number of entities, and you wouldn’t even know.

Together? Because I’ve never been able to play any of their games without major desync problems. The same desync bug has been in every one of their games since the beginning.

This supreme court has shown repeatedly that they don’t care what the Constitution says, no matter how clear or obvious. Their “interpretive” power is so broad that they can, have, and will casually override it whenever they feel like it.

You give them far, far too much credit.

Unless they came out of 15-year coma just in time for the election and voted purely on name recognition, they knew exactly what they were voting for, and why.

I’d suggest doing a little reading on what the political spectrum means, because they aren’t.

When you think a Siberian winter is normal spring weather, even ice cream seems warm.
