Well you see, if there are fewer drivers included there is more room for user friendly features, such as persistent ai intrusion. You probably also gonna update them anyway, might as well download fresh 😇

Aww that sounds adorable. Maybe these seats catch on around here too!

That is indeed a handsome gentleman.

I am not a horse person, are the spots on his rear end part of his coat? They look so unusual on that otherwise unicolored dapper sir.

Kids seated on the middle beam, dont think i have ever seen that setup here in Europe lol. Parents on a bike have their kids in a trailer, or on the back seat.

You are just fucked in the head my guy.

Mass killing people is never acceptable, especially based on convicions or ideologies.

If you think whatever it is you desire politically is worth building on a genocide then you should really get a room with yahu and trumpet.

*i am specifically arguing arguing against genocide. The people in power enabling and perpetrating it need to be severely punished, with execution decidedly on the table. That is a whole different beast than killing kids because of who their parents are though. Cant believe im even arguing about this.

Actually, here you go:

Thanks for making me think of an old teenage memory, watching these guys do stupid (and funny) shit on mtv

No, what the fuck. Zionists maaaybe, but the ww2 winners didnt kill the german population and children either. Why? Because it is fundamentally wrong.

Cant be a mass murderer in any case and still be a good guy.

As for the actual zionists, they should get a proper, nuremberg style trial.

Fair enough, i am not really invested in the deep lore so to say. Just seems that there is permanent bickering going on in some way or shape on my feed, which is entertaining, but also gets old fast.

Why the hell is it that this place is so overwhelmed with stupid, petty drama lately?

The tesserqct dev, i think some blahaj mods are fighting over a dead community, whatever the fuck this is now, piefed dev being a turd, holy shit is it annoying. I am so grateful that my instance seems to be entirely drama free.

I really miss the context jesus around here 😢

Is that a pet in your pocket or are you just happy… Oh nevermind, it really is your pet

… Okay. Honestly i’m just tired of this pointless conversation where we both have our convictions and are fruitlessly arguing against a wall. I’m not even sure what we are talking about any more so i will just concede, and take comfort in the fact that you feel validated today.

As a side note, i hope you are spending as much time and effort arguing with people not actually on your side.

We live in a Cyberpunk scenario. Except with less neon. I also get the impression that you keep considering me opposed to what you want, when in fact i am just as hostile towards digital surveillance as the next guy.

I just dont think that kicking a nerd with smart glasses in the face is how we protect ourselves meaningfully from that, and am arguing generally from that position. If anything we need to develop technological solutions to what is a technological attack on us, when we cant seem to agree as a society on putting capitalism to the torch. Legislation wont protect you (yet 🤞), attacking offending people wont fix the problem, so the only logical course is to get creative about diy solutions.

That being said, building a fucking fake online identity that algorithms will associate with your face / reflective clothing or infrared stuff can hardly be considered futuristic or “cyberpunk”. Just buy some and off you go

I am certainly in favor of laws to protect the people, but i suspect as is already the case the legislation will be unable to keep up with technological developments, not to mention nefarious actors lobbying that legislation.

For countermeasures i was already mentally in the realm of cyberpunk, so probably equally technological solutions? Identity spoofers, ECM, if i recall correctly many cameras are vulnerable to infrared? Things in that vein.

I’m not necessarily arguing in favor of them, it just seems to me that we as people have found a convenient scapegoat by venting our frustration on the end user, while the real problem is systemic.

As for the future hypothetical, that was meant as a thought excercise on what is likely to come, and how that will fit in with this social climate. It is only gonna get worse from an anti-creep point of view, and seeking to remain anonymous by not getting recorded seems a losing battle. We should be focusing on countermeasures instead, so regardless of if we know the camera is there, we can feel safe®.

Not op, but i would say there are definite use cases for smart glasses/“eyes”. Yes, corporations are pushing it without restraint or common sense because capitalism, but the technology in principle is not necessarily evil.

We as a society are just struggling with the implications and long term effects that start to show now of omnipresent surveillance capitalism, and the people with a camera on their face are the most obvious and easy target. That is not to say that humans are not scum who use these for creepy stuff, but there are cameras everywhere, location data, metadata, microphones, GPS, wifi, comms towers, not to mention the software on all those devices.

We are being crept on all the time, but the geek wearing one on their face is too far. Understandable, but also hypocritical.

Given technological development, eventually we will have actual, invisible implants for these things. Smart eyes, enhanced ears. How will we cope with that? When you cant even tell that you are being actively livestreamed or recorded, or algorithmically analyzed for personal information?

I think he means that cilantro is an actual genetic matter. Some people can eat it, and some people taste literal soap water. Cant be changed or get accustomed to, genetics say this weed here tastes like chemical cleaning agent. Enjoy.
