I'm old enough that I wasn't raised from birth with a digital dog collar.

That's so weird considering those two domains are the source of ALMOST all the spam I've seen over the last couple decades.

They are free to leave a message, and I'll get back at my leisure.

I think it's great to see more women moving into full time open source careers. We don't have many!

How does anybody compete when the government insiders merge with the corporations? This is China tier.

This is bizarrely suspicious. Another deep side-channel planted by a large, nation-state grade actor?

I'd like to try it but it's blocked in my region.

I just engage the hardware modem kill switch on my Librem 5 when I'm not making a call. You all don't seriously carry around GovCorp beacon pods which are "always on" do you?

Nobody maintains X. Volunteers fix it, companies add drivers. Freedesktop is defrauding their donors, by claiming to "maintain and extend X" and failing to do so.

Other people will pick up the slack once the weirdos at Freedesktop formally announce they're finished.

Of course. And Epstein, Maxwell, you name it.

The US government is about power and influence, not chains of command and technical appointments and elections. You should have learned this by now.

They don't have the front holes to do it.

Big pharma is the government.

It's not kind to say, but one must wonder if after you kill people, rip their bodies asunder, send them into the afterlife... if PTSD doesn't have a spiritual or karmic purpose. We're not meant to be doing this to each other.

Happened in Baltimore, Detroit, formerly nice places in Minneapolis, Chicago, New Orleans...

It's not "if" but "when."

This has been known for decades, since before most of us here were born. My question is, when do we lynch big pharma for suppressing it?

Yeah but instead it'll just be used to show ads and track you, and photograph and video and track everybody else. I already find it offensive enough that most people wander around with a fully enabled GovCorp surveillance pod recording everything all the time. Last thing I want is some dweeb going through my 20 year old Reddit posts when he glances at me, my face being analyzed, current outfit and / accessories fed into my ad profile, etc.

We have to have a conversation about this as a species, it's already gone way too far.

It peaked years ago. No real application, people are losing interest. Apple had better have some really good applications ready for this thing.

Nobody's going to buy this garbage. VR / AR / MR flopped.
