Learning/practice, and any use that feeds in sensitive data you want to keep on-prem.

Unless you’re set to retire within the next 5 years, the best reason is to keep your resume up to date with some hands-on experience. With the way they’re trying to shove AI into every possible application, there will be few (if any) industries untouched. If you don’t start now, you’re going to be playing catch up in a few years.

LoL. You think warrantless surveillance is just a Trump thing?

Oh yeah. Zero chance of it happening while the capitalists remain in charge.

Even prior to the patriot act, they were just surveilling illegally. US intelligence worked with ATT to install illegal mass wiretaps at all of their comms centers.

We really need a law explicitly banning the third-party doctrine loophole to get around the fourth amendment.

Isn’t that the entire design philosophy of tailscale?: reduce friction, at the cost of some security.

If security is your main priority, you should be using more secure options, even if they are less convenient or tougher to maintain.

No, Europe is aggressively pushing for additional backdoors and tracking. The tracking is often disguised as a way to protect children with age verification.

Probably because these companies have some US competitors that want to see them taken out. This is a common tactic.

The DoD is always lying. If you still believe them at this point, you just want to be fooled. Probably appeals to your Sinophobia in this instance.

Damn. They’re really ripping the copper wiring out of the walls.

The DoD is regularly trolling, and designating rival political ideologues as terrorists to justify unwarranted legal maneuvers.

The department of defense designates every rival as a terrorist or military organization. It’s not really an accusation that holds water at this point.

I think the installed Al Queda commander not giving a shit that Israel was systematically destroying their civilian infrastructure was what really gave it away.

Hitting you with one bad law after another is part of an intentional scheme to induce fatigue and get one by without the public noticing.

Manufacturing public buy-in is a cornerstone of increasing fascism.

Pretty flimsy argument that they’re “linked” to Chinese military for having to comply with local data regulations. By the same argument, every EU, US, and Israeli vpn is as guilty.

And they’ll just reinstall the spyware next feature update.

This is such a dramatic understatement. They didn’t just sell the genetic data of those 15 million customers. They sold the data of everyone they’re related to, as well. Which is the majority of the population.

You really don’t need to sample a large percentage to get the data of almost everyone.

Since when do we hold action movies to that kind of standard?

Why?

I think in Scarlett’s Hot Ones episode, she mentioned that Meryl Streep told her she loved Lucy. Which makes me think Meryl might be a big stoner. Hilarious.

Yeah, I get it. I just prefer the polish.
