They can’t because their boots are too caked in horse shit!

I don’t care what anyone says. Uncrustables are delicious. They have PBJ + honey ones!

Wtf, it’s a real place??

The ongoing pattern with those types of folks is basically to do nothing about anything. Listen to libertarians for example. Everything they suggest amounts to doing nothing.

The gears of progressive only ever move forward, and people like that are a gear that refuses to turn.

Yeah, started reading the original article and I totally get the tone now. Definitely worked well on me!

Started reading the article and I totally get the tone now.

I appreciate the added context as I hadn’t had a chance to read the actual article yet. It could use a better title though. In the context of being on a a UN website, the satire gets lost completely.

I’ve seen it firsthand from people before and I’m just like… why? Why do you think this way? It’s just cowardice at the end of the day. They’ll say those things because it’s an easy escape from being called out for having fucked views that allow fascism and corporate interests to flourish.

“I’m just asking questions” is so fucking annoying. You and I both know you’re not and you’re trying to frame this like you’re not the sociopath in this situation. It’s so disingenuous.

Even if this article was some sort of thought experiment, what the fuck value does it have? Even if the outcome was very much “I’m against this,” I’m not sure what the point is, unless it does a good job of explaining what kind of fucked up things this has lead to in society (like sweat shops and modern day slavery). Even then, this kind of nonsense serves wealthy scum.

Edit: the article is very much satire. Thanks for the added context and commentary!

I think the airport near me is getting them soon, if not already (it’s been a little while since I last flew). This seems like a handful of companies saw an opportunity to sell the concept of security to people that are naive, and they went along with it. Typical government tech contract type stuff that in this case they use as an additional data aggregation vector. It explains why there was no push or response when OP opted out. When someone knows that an action or inquiry can be perceived as questionable or invasive, they want to end the exchange quickly like it never happened.

Wow, this seems like they’re trying to take advantage of an opportunity to slip something irrelevant in to the process. Like someone was trying to think of a way to get facial recognition data and the TSA lines were the “perfect” place.

My (non-)issue is more with the fact that she looks too polished for a character that exists in a post-apocalyptic world. Both her clothes and some facial characteristics, like the perfect eyebrows.

This game is already great IMO. It really doesn’t need a remaster.

I think this might be anonymized enough where they can’t do the same old fingerprinting. But idk the full details. For anything else in terms of tracking, that’s where I recommend finding other tools and adding layers to anonymize and block further.

The reality is that people want stats on their advertising and that’s fair, as much as we (rightfully) hate ads. Completely and truly anonymizing the data seems like an acceptable compromise in this world. Mozilla is one of the few entities left that hasn’t absolutely folded to capitalism, and I’ll take what I can get.

Not sure if this is a perfect fit, but I use http-server when I need to spin up something super rudimentary that works out of box.

Edit: sorry, no UI for that one, but the commands for it are pretty simple to understand. You could try something like XAMPP instead. Portainer is nice for spinning stuff up quickly, but it has a slightly steeper learning curve.

I should note that you can run this in any folder you want to serve files from.

Lmao what is the context on this?

Security by obscurity!!!

I live in Florida too and see this all over my city. Tons of houses have been haphazardly carved up to make into apartments. It’s a double-edged sword because I want everyone to have a roof over their heads, but they are charging ridiculous rates that folks can’t afford anyway.

Imagine thinking that banning books is fine, and then turning around and saying you live in a free country without even a shred of irony.

It’s a similar problem in Canada from what I can tell. I visited Vancouver BC for work a few years ago and the place I stayed in was an Airbnb rental in a building that had very clear markings stating that those types of rentals were not allowed. Nobody is checking nor enforcing that stuff, but at least if someone was made aware, something would happen to stop it? In the US it’s just a free-for-all for capitalists and landlords.

A house down the street from me (I live in the US) was torn down and replaced with a main house, and a second separate house on the back of the property. Both are rented out separately at what I’d imagine are exorbitant rates (for reference, a house down the other direction on my street is being partially rented for $5400/m and the other part at $3800/m). The driveway runs alongside the right side of the house and because 2 different tenants rent each house, the front house can’t use the driveway at all because they run the risk of blocking the other tenant. So now all of their cars litter the street (7 of them at one point when they had friends over).

I fucking hate landlords.
