It’s sitting on my table.

Technology@lemmy.world•Flock CEO calls for ‘compromise’ as surveillance company faces growing backlash | TechCrunchEnglish
6·15 days agoSo the compromise is they get cameras, and we get to hunt them for sport.
We’ve just not been holding up our end of things.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I turn fresh tomatoes into pasta sauce?English
2·17 days agoThat depends on what sort of garlic flavor you want.
The Alicin in garlic does break down with time and heat, but that allows other parts of the garlic flavor to come forward.

21·20 days agoYeah, that site is fairly toxic.
The secretive owner has been caught altering the content of the archive, and using the site to co-opt people’s browsers to launch DDOS attacks on critics and such.
The chapters I said to skip are the religious stuff.
The rest is mostly about AI and why we maybe shouldn’t.
Have you read his Encyclical?
There are many things that I disagree with the pope about, but it’s well reasoned and argued, you can mostly skip the first two chapters, but three through five are worth a read.

2·25 days agoIn 2023, China had over 700 million cameras tracking the population.
That’s one camera for every two citizens.
But yes the UK is also building a surveillance state.

12·25 days agoLenin wasn’t just “guided by the forces of his time”
His first act after couping the provisional government was the creation of the Checka, a secret police force that he used to arrest all the Socialist Revolutionaries, the people responsible for the February Revolution. Also the winners of Russia’s only free and fair election.
He then wrote about how “vanguard parties” and totalitarian dictatorship were somehow part of communism.
No, Lenin was a power hungry monster who shit on Marx’s dream.

44·26 days agoI’m one of the people who always says that Lenin was a fucking monster, and that no authoritarian can ever be communist. Which includes China.
I’m 100% sure that if I ever found myself going to China, I’d be arrested for calling Xi a fascist poo bear playing pretend at communism.
I’m also quite certain that come November Trump will start working up to arresting people for things said online. I’m sure I’ll be at risk for calling him a pedo and posting this link; https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/10/6/1578544/-The-Untold-Story-of-Trump-Model-Management-A-Daily-Kos-Exclusive-Part-1

8·26 days agoHow does that matter?
Both are fucking horrible.
But also, China does both. In 2023 they had over 700 million cameras tracking people.

21·26 days agoDidn’t forget them, they’re not sending masked thugs to vanish people from the street.
The NSA is a spy org, but not full of Trump loyalists.
Trump is focusing on ICE, because it is full of specifically Trump loyalists.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Yay. Underpaid freelance workers are now part of the surveillance stateEnglish
63·26 days agoNope. Proud Boys are the brown shirts. Non-governmental paramilitary fighters.
FBI was an actual law enforcement organization, but has been gutted.
The CIA isn’t a boogie man inside the US. They’ve fucked up enough times that very few people respect them. Also they don’t really do domestic spying.
No, the NSA is the one who does domestic spying.
And finally ICE, an agency that is 100% filled with diehard Trump supporters. They’re already abducting innocent people off the street and vanishing them. Masked thugs working for the state vanishing people without warrants is sort of the basic definition of secret police.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Yay. Underpaid freelance workers are now part of the surveillance stateEnglish
158·26 days agoThat’s only true if you only do and say things online that China approves of.
China has secret police, and has for decades.
ICE is Trump’s attempt at creating a secret police.

242·26 days agoYes, that’s how it’s implemented under capitalism.
States further into their authoritarianism don’t need to bother with middle men and cutouts and shit.
They just put up the cameras.

1·29 days agoThick goo, it doesn’t spread easily.
Gasoline and styrofoam can be stabbed into and lifted, Toluene and styrofoam makes a liquid that can be poured or splashed.

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon secretly circumvents community vote for massive AI data center using 45-year-old rulesEnglish
2·29 days agoIt depends on what you want, if you want a product that will splash and spread, the Toluene is the solvent of choice.
Gasoline makes for a much thicker paste because it doesn’t completely dissolve the styrofoam.

I don’t see Garrett’s personal flock camera.
Deflock.org shows that he has a camera in his yard focusing on his driveway (and the neighbor’s front door)
