If I have to choose between buying into a US run surveillance state or buying into a Chinese run surveillance state, I choose to buy neither.

You could, idk, maybe not buy prepackaged surveillance camera that rely on someone else’s computer to work.

Ratchet & Clank had it’s first three games released in three years. Same graphics and no one cared.

Saudi Arabia or Sexual Assault?

especially since most other people would probably be less effort to track down.

I have politically active friends who are supposedly privacy minded blasting their takes on facebook and complaining when they get banned for inciting violence. Most people are terrible at this and the algos the feds use probably aren’t that great. I’m more likely to get grabbed randomly.

I’ve always isolated my username from irl stuff and I don’t make any social media posts from my irl stuff. You’d have to be very interested in me specifically and I’ve always tried to be slightly less noisy then the background noise.

I used reddit for over a decade, but I was never willing to buy reddit gold or support it because I didn’t trust any site where I shared my political opinions to have those opinions tied with by real name or any other billing info. Same with discord. At least with lemmy, you can support it without tying it to your account.

The powers that be didn’t like their war crimes being made public.

You forgot the bonus of putting a pedo in the ground. The public does not exercise any skepticism when the accused is being accused of pedophilia.

The games I played didn’t have ranking. It was better.

I don’t think there’s any reason to find a replacement for Epstein. There’s almost certainly other people already running those sorts of events. Jared Leto has a sex cult island. I think they’re all consenting adults, but you know he’s trading favors to producers that want to visit so he can keep getting movie roles.

There were also single contact people that can be explained by Epstein operating a honeypot. If he couldn’t work with you, he would get blackmail on you. And then you get scenes like this in The Simpsons after Matt Groening’s name appeared on the flight list.

You can die talking a shit and Trump’s health is exactly the type to do that.

What everyone else is saying, but god do I hate the fortnite art style.

And a Mac client.

Just get a cod piece like respectable humans.

Zhang Yiming? I could only find him denying he’s Singaporean. Everything says he’s Chinese. It could be bullshit if he’s cozying up to the PRC, but that only proves my point.

it was open to both left and right contact

I don’t believe that for a minute. The CCP just had more subtle methods for suppressing content critical of them.

The useful AI is in scientific research and accounts for a fraction of a percentage of electricity used in “AI”. It’s not sexy. It’s not hip. And it’s not going to replace any workers, so the tech bros don’t care.
