If you use android and don't choose GrapheneOS then idk what to tell you, its been an awesome experience with no issues for the last ~5ish years I've used it.
As a male who has been on both ends of the spectrum (morbidly obese) and 'fit' / bodybuilder I find the whole discussion about size, clothing, weight, vanity, etc incredibly boring.
Buy whatever clothes you're comfortable in and take steps to not be obese, and uninstall social media while you're at it. It really is that simple.
I think they're saying that businesses getting unsolicited offers from the LLM is similar to regular people getting unsolicited offers from businesses.
You can actually act on the advertisements and coupons, though. And the companies who sent those offers to you are obligated to abide by them. This potentially would be like if you got a BOGO coupon in the mail and when you tried to redeem it, they just pretended like it didn't exist.
"Whoa, whoa, slow your roll... when I said I wanted to support the artists, I was talking about ensuring they receive a fraction of a penny! Ain't nobody got $15 to throw around for an album!"
The way I see it, we all should pirate music and buy as directly as possible from the bands/artists we want to support.
I shelled out quite some money for musicians whose music pirated when I was a teenager. Ethically it may not be 100% sound, but if I apply the golden rule ("Treat others the way you want to be treated") it is totally the way to go for me.
I have a controversial question; In the UK, they have blade runners who take down CCTV. I would have expected a more aggressive response in the USA, considering the culture. Is this not happening?
The gutless liberals that dominate your country’s preconceptions of “the left” are not your anti-police state faction, but you do their work for them by conflating the two. The anti-police state faction are the ones habitually being physically brutalised if not outright murdered by the cops while the media wags their finger at them for their apparent lack of civility.
Many of the flock cameras in my city were disabled by bashing in the solar panels or damaging the camera lens. Unfortunately, flock's contract is such that the city pays for repairs/replacement
Given the utter lack of enforcement on actual nuisances (noise / burning violations, 'eyesore' / private property abuse via trash / abandoned things / unsanctioned business actives in residential zones, petty theft prevention / enforcement) and the aggressive enforcement on any revenue generation laws that target citizens who will responsibly pay?
I anticipate the apathy to continue, and the bill to be passed along as some form of regressive tax.
i live in oregon and a bunch of the flock cameras have been vandalized.
a lot of the oregon towns/cities decided to cancel or not renew their contracts though, so I think they just let em get broken and then didnt pay to repair them.
The evidence for ULEZ is solid so seriously bringing it as an example of white knight activity whole they're at best malignant, brainwashed goons doesn't help anyone: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67653609
I don't understand? I did some basic research, and it doesn't seem like these cameras have air quality sensors. How exactly would some Android cameras reduce pollution?
The "blade runners" this other guy loves so much, are vandalising enforcement cameras on the boundaries of the London's ULEZ area, allowing the very dirty, polluting cars to enter the area without paying a significant fee (that is intended to keep them out).
Somewhat, but the legal cosequences for getting caught and brought to court if you don't have a few thousand to drop on a lawyer will screw up your life. So it happens less.
Not to mention the risk of dealing with trigger happy and corrupt cops.
It isn't good but I doubt the UK punishment would be nearly as harsh or expensive and the possibility of death isn't on the menu when the cops come to arrest them.
I mean we're also increasingly being terrorized by our new gestapo, so far with limited resistance. We aren't really the "radical freedom defenders" we like to claim to be...
Americans are largely cowards. You can see this as we're still mostly afraid of accurately defining and educating about genocide and how we all contribute to it by going to work every day, as well as afraid of feelings that arise around it.
I hope to one day contribute to a geoglyph of asphalt from torn up roads, if that's what's regenerative for the land I'm with/on/of/from/being and what the stewards of the land we gave back identify as needed. Would contribute to a geoglyph of anything else, too.
I want to build community through making visible-from-space-sized art projects with those from all around. And then go back to the plague pod I live in that's large enough to meet everyone's needs while keeping population density low enough to get rid of the plagues or make them a much smaller threat.
