They’re not “speed enforcement cameras” they’re part of a mass surveillance system with the feature that records speed and adds that data along with all the other data it collects and associates with your plate number and any beacons your cell phone is transmitting.

If it was about speeding or safety they’d design the road better or have police patrolling more often.

Just take a look at how these systems are abused by the government in the UK and US. Does this still make you feel safe?

That’s why accountants and auditors exist.

If you’re suggesting that it shouldn’t be done because its too hard – it’s not. That’s just a dumb excuse.

Right? This is a no-brainer. Builds a technical workforce, creates Canadian businesses that pays taxes to Canada (instead of giving money to American companies who pay taxes to the US), saves an incredible amount of money that is currently spent on bullshit licenses to Microsoft, Google, etc. Not to mention the security implications of using American software in the Canadian government.

That’s not how it works. If you’re American, you pay taxes to the US no matter where you live. If you work overseas you may have to ALSO pay taxes to the country you’re living in, unless you expatriate yourself (where the word “expat” comes from) or denounce your US citizenship completely and emigrate. It’s a mess.

Let them cry all they want, because they’re not going to leave. And if they do – good riddance. They contribute nothing to society anyway.

These points were all disproved long ago. The jack is a the same thickness as the display.

The reason is because BT headphones have a much higher margin, and need to be replaced every few years because of the battery (if not already replaced because they were lost or damaged).

It’s just a dumb cash grab.

LOL at your downvotes. I went to Catholic school and was taught BY PRIESTS AND NUNS that Jesus probably wasn’t one person but a composite of numerous roving preachers (a fad at the time). Oh, and early Christianity probably started as a mushroom cult. If the Catholics (Catholics!) could learn to apply reason to religion anyone can.

They’ll false-flag or just start killing people. They don’t need a reason anymore.

This whole “don’t have violent protests because they’ll declare martial law” is a psyop preparing people for martial law and pre-loading it with the assumption that when it does happen (and it will) it will be the fault of the protesters, despite evidence to the contrary.

Fascism 101 guys. Don’t be a sucker.

They’ll declare the Chinese factory part of the US Embassy.

And the bankrupt farms will be bought up en-masse by corporations owned by Gates and other billionaires who will “make a deal” to let them get away with slave immigrant labor. It’s part of the plan.

Starlink should be globalized. A planet only needs one low-altitude orbiting communications network. Better to standardize the technology and platform and let them contribute to one system than to have a dozen identical competing systems crashing into each other and fucking things up for everyone.

Or the 2A people are perfectly content with their place in a fascist society.

Yeah, better to just sit around and do nothing. It’s not like it could get worse.

Secession is what Russia is blackmailing him for. Secede MAGA instead.

Stack Overflow hasn’t been useful for at least 10 years, if not longer.

The flagged “correct” answer is almost always wrong due to idiotic power-users and the vast horde of idiots who upvote obviously wrong answers because they’re bootlickers. The real answer is usually buried in between the posts by gatekeepers, pedants, idiots with something to prove, wannabe admins, egotistical idiots, the highly opinionated technologically insecure, etc ad nauseam. Reddit is just as bad for tech questions, if not worse.

Since I started using LLMs (running on my own inference server) I haven’t used anything else for tech questions that wasn’t opinion-based. Much, much more useful, and it requires you to think seriously about the problem to come up with a good prompt – which often gives you the answer before you even finish the prompt.

All of those sites are right-wing propaganda operations. Every single one of them.

Factual news is almost always going to be liberal biased. Sites like these encourage journalists to bias their news stories to the right for no good reason.

I’m surprised so many people are falling for this.

What makes you think you have to kill people? Why not just sink their yachts, burn their planes and homes? Dox them. Shut down airports with drones – nationally. Burn their warehouses, datacenters, factories. Hack their computers and steal their money. Etc… etc…

Americans are so indoctrinated that they think killing is the natural next progression of peaceful protests.

Humiliating them is much more damaging to their stupid movement.
