33·7 days agoBut the implications of the report go considerably further, suggesting an agency completely out of control and flouting the Fourth Amendment at every turn.
Narrator: “It is not just the agency.”
What makes you think that’s the reason? Could it not be that high gun ownership states mostly vote Republican already?
It’s chickenpox, which can resurface as shingles in adulthood.
Before there was a vaccine, parents would deliberately expose their kids to chickenpox, reasoning that it would confer long term immunity at an age when an infection was unpleasant but didn’t seem very dangerous. (As opposed to in adulthood, when an infection was likely to be a greater danger.) I don’t think anyone had linked it to neurological problems yet.
Since then, we have found correlation between the varicella zoster virus and multiple sclerosis, and now apparently dementia. I don’t know if it has been proven to be a contributing factor yet, but I think it’s pretty clear that getting vaccinated is the right thing to do.
Is there precedent on record for that scenario playing out as you describe, or is it just wishful thinking?
Real shame these punk kids keep vandalizing these corporations products, it must be terribly expensive.
Yes, expensive for you and the other taxpayers who pay for them.
The result would be more of your tax dollars going to Flock, for repairs or replacements.
The correct solution would be to ban them.
It was a necessary response to those who are destroying your democracy.
On behalf of everyone affected by the US, thank you.
Friendly reminder that 404 Media does good journalism, and is worth supporting if you can afford it.
Thanks for saying so! I’m glad to have introduced someone, and I hope SomaFM keeps running for a long time to come.

In the last nine months, ICE has spent a whopping $71,515,762 on purchases of “small arms, ordnance and ordnance accessories manufacturing.”
For comparison, in 2019, ICE spent just $5.7 million on the “small arms” category through October 18, and during Trump’s first administration, the government spent an average of $8.4 million per year.
While most of the spending was on guns and armor, Legum reported that ICE had also purchased “guided missile warheads and explosive components.”
Not comparable to Spotify, but worth checking out nevertheless:
Trump administration forces taxpayers to buy 2 new private jets for Kristi Noem.
Samsung phones blow e-fuses when you unlock their bootloaders, so there’s no going back. I think this would prevent a proper GrapheneOS installation.
Perhaps Samsung could start shipping phones with GrapheneOS natively installed, but since the phone’s owner would not have control of the OS, that would arguably not be GrapheneOS as we know it today. Or maybe Samsung could change their chain of trust implementation to be more like Google’s, allowing the bootloader to be re-locked.
Also, more of us should be advocating for site owners make their sites usable without JavaScript. It’s almost never necessary.
Allowing web sites to execute arbitrary code on your computer is not only a privacy risk; it’s also a security threat.
Perhaps, but given how often governments issue themselves a free pass on things that they make illegal for everyone else, I think that getting this idea to work as we hope would require a lot of careful shepherding, and I fear that the leaders able and motivated to do this are often in the minority.
So let’s get some better leaders.
I’m excited to see Ladybird developing, but the project accepting money from Cloudflare makes me wary. Between Cloudflare’s man-in-the-middle position in a great deal of web traffic, and their similarly invasive position as a major DNS-over-HTTPS provider, they are not remotely privacy-friendly.
Everything else you wrote might be true, but that sentence shows that you are either deliberately misleading people, or have no idea what you are talking about. Please stop.
