Woke up this morning and it seemed to me,

That every night turns out to be

A little more like Bukowski.

And yeah, I know he’s a pretty good read.

But God who’d want to be?

God who’d want to be such an asshole?

A long screed but has this jackhole who writes so unprofessionally even reached out to Mullvad for comment or explanation? Because that’s usually what respectable journalistic outfits do.

They don’t post some screenshots, make inferences without knowing all of Mullvad’s backend, and say “what we are saying is definitely true and there’s no possible way we could technically be wrong.”

I can think of several ways they could be wrong, it would have been helpful to have any statement from Mullvad, because they might have a technical reason for this (up to and including making sure their emails aren’t disappeared as spam, because running your own email server sucks.).

Anyway, pretty unprofessional and makes me pretty skeptical of the claims until more solid evidence than a screenshot surface.

For example, who is to say that Mullvad hasn’t set up their own client side encryption keys? This is an option Google offers for use with business accounts. This effectively means Google doesn’t have your keys nor can read your emails.

It took me five seconds of searching to find this. Did the guy who wrote this article even try?

Simplicity and organization can be very Zen, my friend.

Perhaps instead of judging yourself so harshly, you consider that others may see the positives of simplicity and small-scale as well.

Not everybody needs big and flashy. Utilitarian isn’t a bad thing. Utilitarian simplicity can be its own art form.

I’ve got about 6 xPis scattered round my flat - is there anything worth doing with them or should I just bin them?

Fuck, if you can’t figure out what to do with them, give them to me and I will! There’s so many fun art projects you can get up to with Pis.

Oh I’m sure there will be. It will be technically difficult (but not impossible) for them to allow other app-stores and sideloading but have the hardware and software be different enough in both markets to not have some slip through.

I suspect there will be lots of hacky shit for this.

Cops Used DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face—and Tried to Run Facial Recognition on It (www.wired.com)

For facial recognition experts and privacy advocates, the East Bay detective’s request, while dystopian, was also entirely predictable. It emphasizes the ways that, without oversight, law enforcement is able to mix and match technologies in unintended ways, using untested algorithms to single out suspects based on unknowable...

Cops only like technology when they can abuse it to avoid having to do real investigative police work.

They don’t care to understand the technology in any deep manner, and as we’ve seen with body cams, when they retain full control over the technology, it’s basically a farce to believe it could be used to control their behavior.

I mean, on top of that, a lot of “forensic science” isn’t science at all and is arguably a joke.

Cops like using the veneer of science and technology to act like they’re doing “serious jobs” but in reality they’re just a bunch of thugs trying to dominate and control.

In other words, this is just the beginning, don’t expect them to stop doing stuff like this, and further, expect them to start producing “research” that “justifies” these “investigation” methods and see them added to the pile of bullshit that is “fOrEnSiC sCiEnCE.”

Dude facial recognition catches the wrong people all the time. It is not as infallible as they make it out to be and this is just adding an entire extra level of mistakes they can make.

Facial recognition tech is bogus and because of its technical limitations, unintentionally(?) racist. (ie the cameras are not designed well to take good photo/video of dark skin, leading to high false positive rates when it comes to dark-skinned people) edit: even further, the cameras are often too small of a resolution for quality matching.

Further, facial reconstruction based on DNA isn’t exactly super accurate on its own.

Please don’t fall for this bullshit.

@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Beat me to the punch, I was saying just as much, considering the history of forensic science in general. It won’t be long before they’re producing bogus “research” to justify it at a new investigative method.

Charity is a farce. We need progressive taxation. We shouldn’t have to rely on the flighty kindness of the rich to achieve anything in society.

There’s a fucking housing crisis and you’re the second chucklefuck to defend this dumb shit.

No, when millions of homes are owned but left empty because they’re unafforable for people to live in, anyone involved in keeping housing off the market for only themselves is a class traitor.

When millions are in the streets who have jobs but housing is unaffordable it’s a fucking indictment of our entire system and all the people who own more than one piece of property.

If he is renting it, he has a place to live.

What, you’re fine with paying this pricks mortgage for him?

In my city there’s a guy who owns a bunch of housing, but he tries to bring down property values with them, so people can afford to live in the neighborhood. He rents them well under market value and paints them entirely black, out of character for their neighborhoods. That’s class solidarity.

The fact is that Serj is a class traitor.

He can talk all the good talk all he wants but he’s renting a luxury place for $6000 a month.

The title is “gold for house” and the body is “wood for sheep” implying they are a similar type of trade, not implying both are from Catan.

Neither “gold” nor “house” exist in Catan.

wood for sheep?

I almost missed this.

I’ll just quote myself from my last game where I had a monopoly on the sheep…

This is honestly why anyone and everyone should invest in at least a small UPS that can keep your PC powered for at least five minutes so in this kind of scenario you can cancel the update, shut down safely, and resume when the power is back.
