Hard to prevent gangs/tribes/cartels from running as a team. Better to tackle issues we can have an effect on.

Wise to choose which battles wish to fight rather than having them chosen for us

i should be in. Thanks for putting that oversight onto my radar.

i’m in the privacy is a human right party. Since this issue applies to everyone giving everyone the label pirate is nonsense.

Realize the pirate party does have the same stance. Only complaining about their unfortunate name.

Politically I back the Monero community, privacy advocates, and FOSS community.

Have publicly voted for bitcoin since 2014. My candidate has won, will win, and will continue to win well into the future.

bitcoin is a euphemism meaning Monero for those who only know what the MSM tells them.

Prefer income to come in the form of cryptocurrency (without strings attached). So can honestly say, at least, 40% more in the right.

How well does your political leanings pay?

What the hell is a centralist within the context of OP’s topic? The folks just observing and doing nothing no laughing no photos? People who took car that day?

Is there such a thing as a centralist? That’s like saying, “somewhere on the line”. Whereas if you look at my comments i’m everywhere on the line. Trying to imagine how to advocate a centralist viewpoint but coming up with nothing.

Am i a gang member? No. So that leaves you and me in the same group, “fcked”. Anarchist is a merely a superfluous label. Even if our views didn’t 100% align perfectly, the same ills affect us both.

Unless you are interested in recruiting me in some gang. Errr are you?

not assuming a political flavor or gang/tribe membership

Wait a sec! Why wouldn’t socialism rely on privacy-invading surveillance? They’d even be more inclined even after getting caught and told no.

From govts POV, The People are not making sufficient efforts, to protect our own privacy so it’s not a problem.

Gov’t corps will do whatever they can get away with. We live under “Rule of Lawyerism”, not “Rule of law”.

Unfortunately we need to make efforts to protect ourselves rather than continue not protecting ourselves.

The State will never protect you nor does it represent you. We are just marks.

your Google account is old enough to go fight Europe’s wars

Meta is funded by govt. A Canadian company created the original tech. A UK bootlicking socialist country of yes men.

Most open source software coders form foundations hoping to attract gov’t funding.

So tell me again how socialism had nothing to do with why/how these glasses came into being.

You argued we don’t live in a socialist society. Which is a typical argument by those schooled about the fallacy of that capitalism exists.

Laid out what we actually live under without isms, besides indulging in using the term, lawyerism. You are trying to argue economics. As am i.

Usually neither side dares to describe reality and instead each side just repeats their favorite theory from public school textbooks. I just described what my lying eyes see.

I get satisfaction by designing complex systems and being tortured by static type checkers. So political pr0n, video games, or 2D chart p0rn does not do it for me. Don’t expect my motivations to be the same as those listed addictions. In a world covered in smartphone addicts, it’s really hard to imagine someone completely devoid of those addictions.

A rage addict is just someone suffering from a design flaw. I recognize they exist just like trees. A tree producing imperfect fruit does not bug me. The rage addict needs to become capable of weening themselves off the juice. I’m a white hatter. Exploiting system flaws is black hatter. Hope de-assembling nonsense arguments has been helpful.

At one time, thought feeding a rage addict would burn out their rage addiction by having them exhaust themselves. All about coming to the conclusion that it’s not worth the effort. But that assumes they can learn, want to learn, or want to adapt/change permanently.

Rage addicts need to recognize they are being played. Until then it’s just a broken record on a loop.

This works on any negative emotion. It takes heightened energy to sustain. So fight a war of attrition knowing you’ll exhaust your opponent.

Actually going to try that. But even then the fish is not designed to wrap the rice like a bag.

Moving a sushi and getting it into the mouth, with two sticks, without it breaking, consistently, is really a mystery.

I could coding anything. But sushi is challenging.

Any coder can decide what sounds are emitted from their phones. Simply edit out the line or turn off the audio output.

Welcome to a world that includes Linux. As justification of my actions, would argue these features of emitting sounds after every action is addictive and since i own the phone can choose what runs on it. The only sound want is from A/V calls. Govts ability to regulate everything is not unlimited and absolute.

Especially if there is a coder involved.

Sure the guy wears the glasses gets some utility out of the glasses otherwise he wouldn’t have one. The evidence collected can be resold back to the user, but ultimately it’s the user that finds value in them. The corporation is unlikely to find utility out of the footage which they cannot use without violating copyright laws.

I’m not arguing that these glasses do not contain spy tech, the issue with arguing that is, so does smartphones.

Then what do you call Ctrl+P to infinity? Capitalism?! It’s a centrally managed economy that chooses winners and losers. With a splash of lawyerism and highwaymen.

This is the problem with isms. Great in theory, but never what is actually going on.

In a black and white universe, everything looks either black or white. It’s a nice story we tell to deceive our children. Who then grow up and are supposed to be the adults in the room.

So tell me more about this socialism and capitalism. Or how we are the good guys. And how our brilliance is necessary for the continuation of the universe.

If you said white people, sure ok. But capitalism?! We’ve never experienced capitalism.

Before facebook even existed a Canadian company was producing contact lens which trsnsmitted light onto the retina to create virtual reality interfaces. They of course had glasses form product as well.

So discussing big ugly glasses is 30-40 year old tech.

Keep in mind, VR investment scam has been around forever. But ok tell me why this time is different.

If you are conservative. That means being ineffectual and whine alot but do nothing.

If these people had any intention at all to act to mitigate the situation their comments would look quite different:

Don’t want to bleed metadata so please switch the conversation in the future over to Simplex, not Matrix/Element and definitely not Signal. And if you suggest WhatsApp i’m never speaking to you again. To prevent censorship prefer a forum where the comments have a non-zero barrier to entry thus adding a real cost to spam or gestapo activities. And to avoid being taxed into extinction i ask clients to pay in Monero. You can see exchange methods off kycme.not

Instead we are subjected to paranoia commentary that always lacks any discussion of privacy knowhow. How to actual mitigate risks based on your risk profile. It’s so fucking obnoxious why do we have to take this nonsense seriously like it’ll ever lead anywhere except in a circle.

Professing to be conservative is as close to being nonexistent that i’m surprised to find out not talking with a Buddhist.

conservatives pfft that’s not even a thing. In the US, they don’t even have their own party. There is the MIC party and the good intention that end in grift party. Which is like MIC with benefits. Doing nothing but whining and calling it right is nonsense as we learned post-2009 as they keep the same narrative and didn’t adapt to changed realities. It was their Biden moment where all doubt was removed and became obvious to all they are completely full of shit.

Btw have consistently and publically voted for bitcoin since 2014. Not cuz price up price down cuz math. I use the term bitcoin so those not in the know recognize the term, i actually mean Monero.

Are you paid by the hour to post that comment on forums?

luigi never said that ;-)

Check your device it’s obviously been hijacked. Totally uncredible you would have written such a comment.

And you’re welcome
