by keeping them in dead end jobs.

What you call a “dead end job”, many people call the “first job in my resume”.

And, as anyone early in life had discovered the hard way, getting a reasonable job with zero work experience on your resume is almost impossible.

I don’t get it either, but it was also a big problem on Reddit for years.

Exempted for now…

Because killing a leader without a plan for who will replace them isn’t very efficient

And often leads to a worse leader seizing power out of the chaos and power vacuum that the assassination created.

Mobile carriers are mostly IPv6-only these days.

I was going to point that out as well.

Your phone is probably on an IP6 network right now.

And it will be NATted to an IP4 address when it leaves the carrier’s network to interact with the public internet.

You’d be holding more than one person liable if you were holding people liable at all

Sounds good to me.

Having some corporate abstraction shield the people who make irresponsible or dangerous choices may be beneficial to those decision makers, but it is very much not good for society.

because individuals can’t be held accountable

That’s just laziness. There are individuals who can be held accountable.

Starting with the executives who signed off on these things being put on the road in the first place.

The manufacturers definitely have a large share of the blame, but people still have the agency to make better choices.

Once it’s done?

Facissm doesn’t end on its own. It needs to get pushed out.

Trump is nothing, he’s unimportant in the grand scheme of things

The USA isn’t the way it is because Trump is the president, Trump is president because of the way the USA is…

Doesn’t mean it needs Internet access tho

Annoyingly, some models won’t let you get through the initial setup menu unless you let it connect.

IIRC, the Trump/Vance effect also helped Australia elect a non right wing government.

Depends how these new laws are written.

Is it fair to say: The field is benign

It is benign if it is optional, remains 100% local and under the user’s control and doesn’t prevent other software from functioning as expected.

Those are also entirely optional and not having them filled in doesn’t cause other software to stop doing what the user wants.

So… if the law interferes with your goals, apparently it is now perfectly fine to just ignore it.

That seems to be the approach the US government is taking.

Even sadder that people keep falling for it.

I am Pentium of Borg.

You will be approximated.

I don’t care if it’s an ancient reference.

Hello my brother.

Epstein’s “day job” was being a socialite.

…

because he was the guy who knew everybody in a position of power, his network shows who has the power.

Exactly. He was actively seeking out wealthy and influential people to add to his circle of influence.
