Fuck the cost. The planet is going to be unfit for human habitation in a generation or two, while ecosystems and ocean current collapse kills everything else.
All that matters is if it’s cleaner. Stop ruling out options because they’re not market friendly.
The writer clearly understands that something isn’t adding up with Microsoft’s claims about TPM, but nowhere do they address the accusations that Microsoft plans to use it as DRM (and potentially spying).
Similarly, only supporting certain CPU’s is suspect as hell. Between all this and Recall, it really feels like the driving design focus behind Windows 11 was to build the best spying machine they could.
You don’t understand. The tracking and spying is the entire point of the maneuver. The ‘children are accessing porn’ thing is just a Trojan horse to justify the spying.
As you pointed out, it’s already illegal for them to access it, and parents are legally required to prevent their children from accessing it. But you don’t lock down the entire population, or institute pre-crime surveillance policies, just because some parents are not going to follow the law. You then charge the guilty parents after the offense.
So since we can’t count on all parents to properly parent their child, we’ll just infantilize the entire population and treat every single person as a child by default.
Yeah. Again, I’m familiar with this ‘think of the children!’ line of support for fascism.
And just as a totally coincidental side effect, the censoring tech will allow the government greater tracking of everyone.
The department of defense designates every rival as a terrorist or military organization. It’s not really an accusation that holds water at this point.
Most Americans are not in the center, and in trying to appeal to everyone they end up appealing to no one.
But this conversation is over 10 years too late. The Democrats moved to the far right long ago, which is why they’re so rabidly anti-immigration and pro-genocide now.
Because it’s a Trojan horse. They’re using porn as justification for increased monitoring for everyone who uses the web, and controlling what they’re allowed to see.
‘To beat Republicans, we must become Republicans!’
I agree. The Dems should be more openly right. They should also stop suing leftist parties off the ballot, since they’re not going for those voters anyway.
It’s a burner astroturfing account. But the Dem bots are just like the party. Won’t learn anything, and will just post the same shit in two weeks with a different face.
In fact, there’s fewer and fewer people in the center. Americans are abandoning the center in droves. And the Democratic Party, as liberals always do, is moving right to chase the fascist vote, because the left is a threat to Dems.
“We are losing support in vast swaths of the country, in rural America, in the Midwest, the places where I’m from," Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., told the outlet. "People that I grew up with who now support Donald Trump, who used to be Democrats. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t have the support of these folks, other than we have pushed, in so many ways, these people away from our party."
So they’re moving even further right. The article specifically points to their efforts to appeal to the toxic online male demographic.
That is an extremely weak legal argument with potentially disastrous precedent being set that no government entity could be defunded for their policies.
Yep. And I’m a big supporter. We should use the cleanest methods available as appropriate for each application.
