So... could I not just disconnect my pc from the internet, or have a desktop or virtual machine without internet access, keep my 3d printer offline, and use a software or 3d modeling software that's open-source, and profit? This bill has also just classified my ice tray as a 3D printer, and don't tell anyone but a trip to my local Home Depot with 10 bucks in my hand could potentially make something more dangerous.

Flock cameras can also pickup conversations of people passing by, let alone the massive amount of other privacy concerns with these being owner by third party companies. I don’t see how people in Toronto can support these cameras tbh, especially since Ontario in general had speed cameras removed, and those as far as I know were police operated. TBH it would probably make more sense to install the speed cameras back, those only captured photos as opposed to 24/7 recordings.

Thank fucking god, someone finally realized opening everyone’s private messages would be similar to opening everyone’s written leters at the post office before they get sent. Also people need to continue to stay vigilant, in case this does come back “rebrand” as something new.

Somehow everyone has forgotten about parental controls that have been apart of consumer grade home routers for years. Parental controls are there specifically to help parents. These settings allow a parent to block everything online only allowing access to approved lists of websites, generaly done through a whitelist or approved websites. What is missing at a government level is a “curation effort” of websites, similar to Libraries that classify books by genres and appropriate age levels. I would propose a government fund where Librarians or similar organizations can start this effort, and make these lists easily accessible within routers for non tech individuals, together with local initiatives and programs for parents that have a interest to learn more. For power users lists like these already exists curated by public individuals very similar to pihole block lists and whitelists. This concept would be the most privacy respectful IMO giving parents the most power to parent, while respecting everyone else’s privacy online including children. But somehow we all know this is not about “protecting the children”, but really about mass surveillance for the public at all age groups, and yet this topic keeps coming up.

Yo mama SOOOOO fat that when she jump up in the air…she get stuck!

Honestly I would take the Covid years again, somehow it felt more predictable (to me anyways)

What a inefficient use of land, let alone what’s being built on it. Honestly I would probably prefer data centers built in old open pit mines before the mine gets filled back in. Or maybe build them in Alaska for example where it’s cold, or space like a halo?

Not sure if it’s just me, but “wokeness” always meant being “awake” to me, or more enlightened. As opposed to asleep, or being a “sheep” as people were referring to it a few years back. So seeing some say “wokeness” is over seems to imply to me that thinking for ones self, or being informed is no longer required.

Remember when companies like Google and Facebook got slapped with fines and fees from various countries for sumerizing news in news feeds on their sites. News outlets were complaining about loss of ad revenue as a result of reduced traffic to their website directly. Facebook even in some cases blocked news links in some countries from not showing on users feeds, so as to be compliant and not pay fees. Guess AI summarising news is somehow completely different.
