Yes the developer sees it, and also the data brokers they sell all their user data to see it, aggregate it, and corollate it. Not to mention whatever Microsoft does with it.
This has already been happening on the Web for quite some time. For example Microsoft Clarity records everything you do on those dodgy Web sites you visit. And they assign a universal identifier to you that can be correlated with the IDs Google and your device have already created and broadcast to profile you.
And you think “oh but I use x, y, and z to prevent tracking”. Guess what: They make your browser do nonsense tasks in the background to benchmark your hardware and then assign a UUID to you based on that.
The only thing that can help this situation is privacy legislation with real teeth.
Obama? Get real. Obama is, and always has been, Hunter Biden’s puppet. You want proof? Hunter had a laptop. Why would anyone other than a criminal mastermind who secretly rules the world own a laptop?
To be clear: I’m not talking about counting guns. I’m talking about normalized insanity. The Republicans continue to play with fire and whip the crazies into a frenzy. Democrats just gawk at them and make reassuring statements to each other.
I’m saying there could be more Pizzagate-style vigilantes and Jan. 6ers in our future and we need to think about what it means to be ready for it.
I agree that mental healthcare is important and not to be stigmatized.
The only thing I’m trying to encourage is preparedness over complacency. Thinking through the worst case scenario before it happens isn’t fear, it’s the beginning of assurance. It’s how you avoid freezing when the bad thing happens. Maybe that doesn’t mean guns. But it does mean I’m taking these overt threats of violence seriously and I think it’s prudent for others to as well.
Under normal circumstances I think your advice would be appropriate. I just happen to think these aren’t normal circumstances. Sometimes the danger is real and warrants increased vigilance. I’m certainly not suggesting people buy firearms they don’t know how to use, on a whim. I’m suggesting they consider investing time and effort to become proficient with them. It’s not about shooting people. It’s about having a credible deterrent.
