So much human potential given to such a tiny group of incompetent morons.

When the history books are being written, this era will make the robber baron/gilded age pale in comparison.

I wish I thought enough Americans had the spine required to stand up to this, and I know for a fact that a lot do... the solution is literally written into your constitution.

Aside from a tiny minority of people applying their own encryption (with offline confirmed public keys) at end points with securely stored air gapped private keys, this information is available to the US government, it’s the god damn job of the NSA.

Do facebook or google do this to their users?

Unfortunately,in our current society a rich group of people with a very restricted intellect, abnormal psychology, perverse views on human interaction and a paranoid delusion that kept normal human love and compassion beyond their grasp, were able to shape society to their dreadful imagination.

Hopefully humanity can make it through these times, despite these hateful aberrations doing their best to wield their economic power to destroy humans as a concept.

There’s a clear through line from what that cruel, despicable man put to paper that year, to the incoming presidential administration in 2025.

Whether it’s in the GPU, CPU, TPM, or any other part of computing property you ostensibly own, is an utterly irrelevant distraction, the root is the unholy alliance of government and capital power.

Or should I take the plunge and do it in rust?

(If only I was unemployed and could do this in agda/idris/lean…)

I know people who have worked with military systems, and as dumb as the process around developing these things tend to be, due to the asinine cluelessness of the decision makers, none of them would have accepted even a fraction of the idiocy on display here.

I mean, not “slaving” the cursor still feeds garbage data into the system, immediately reusing 4 digit codes in a way that is pretty much guaranteed to create confusion, no real cooperation or coordination between the same system running on ships in the same battle group, supposedly essential data displayed without the actual essential details shown to decision makers in charge of death and destruction…

It would be laughable if it was the worlds strongest military we were talking about.

The people in charge of deciding to make this “system” in this way should be in prison.

It won’t stop for years, and nothing fundamental will change until supposedly middle class families are forced out onto the street. Then, maybe, we will see the political will to change this insane, cruel, predatory and hateful housing policy change.

To everyone who owns property, YOU are complicit. Either deliberately evil or willfully ignorant, there is nothing else.

The solution is uncannily simple tho, fuck YAML, just generate it from Dhall; enjoy the subsequent bliss!
