do you have root access to YOUR phone?

Yes. On a Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Ironically, Google Pixels are among the few (US available) brands that still let you fully unlock the BL

Ok well maybe a beacon of glory is a bit out there for Twitter, but there was a time where it was actually cool and unique.

Like back in the day where you could interact with it over plain SMS lol

I feel old.

So in your world, journalists and activists trying to bring attention to human rights violations their country’s fascist government is committing in an attempt to bring in good change should be just fucked over right?

Because those governments label those people as “criminals” when they’re objectively not.

Being an ambivert is nice lol

Hm, I don’t think this has enough JPEG to fully qualify as a shitpost though

And re: phones—you can see that’s a camera. Also, they have a bright LED that indicates recording. These glasses do not.

Umm when was the last time you…you know what, let’s do an experiment, start recording a video on your phone, flip it over and look at the back and tell me where the red recording LED is LOL

Anyways, the other commenter here cited specific cases and a supreme court ruling which tied recording in a public space as a 1st amendment issue (which I didn’t know either) so now short of a new federal law passed by congress, it ain’t changing. It’s not my opinion, it’s a fact.

Lol that has nothing to do with the other, and courts have already set precedent for recording in public spaces and have generally ruled that with current laws there’s no expectation of privacy in public spaces.

The fact the camera being on someones face is almost assuredly going to be an insignificant factor in any future court case considering the sheer amount of cameras pointing at you as-is from phones (How do you know if someone is just on their phone or recording?) and security cameras and now that businesses are heavily investing in ever more cameras for their AI BS…yea, sorry to say, but nothing is going to change on that front for the foreseeable future.

I think so because of this

But experts like Brucher suggest that most voters have already made up their minds and that the election outcome is “really more about turnout” now.

Which means, Brucher said, that “Democrats really can’t afford to alienate organized labor.”

The strike couldn’t happen at a more perfect time IMO, I hope every worker gets the raises they want!

Source on that? Last I checked it was nationwide that there was no expectation to privacy in public places

Google Glass was way back in like 2013, 10 years later people just expect to have cameras everywhere in public since nearly everyone now has a good camera in their pocket that they’re also using to actually take pics and videos all the time of food, places, buildings, scenery, selfies etc.

Each one of us is probably in the background of who knows many peoples pictures by now

He lives in Asheville, NC one of the places wrecked by flooding from Helene. Last update was his house has been significantly damaged to the point where it’s basically unhabitable, but he is safe with family.

I was on Xitter to read an update about LGRs situation, when I got one of those “suggested tweets” about Godot from some random account. I clicked on it because I thought it was a totally different situation like Godot going closed source or something.

Nope. It was an entire thread on a bunch of racist transphobes being pissy about an LGBTQ post and how Godot was “Woke” now and “Why are they being political now”. “Go woke, go broke” was also mentioned unironically quite a bit and how people were going to leave in droves for Unity. Nice to see the chant was (once again) proven wrong.

It was a disgusting echo chamber, I had to wash my hands after that.

105 gigs is nothing, you can get a 1TB external drive for ~60$

I’m getting to the point of becoming a data hoarder

What’s wrong with that‽ Join us on the dark side (according to giant corporations anyways), we have milk and cookies!

Just a simple lowly troll, nothing of importance to see here

Yes, that’s what everyone wants, but the “industry leaders” are now multi-billion dollar companies

Guaranteed they also want subtle language in any such bills to make things harder for the average joe to break into the industry. That’s what they do, latch on to common things people want and twist things to benefit them

Frankly, fuck the “industry leaders” it used to be a bunch of small time to MAYBE medium sized owners, now it’s a bunch of corporate bastards at the top (the so called industry leaders) like so many other industries

I bet they’re all pissy because they aren’t getting their demands that probably have something to do like making it harder for small time people to get in on the industry

Start using modern non chemical methods.

Yes! Let’s start with targeting human biting species of mosquitos and make them extinct!

Hell even here IN the US sometimes certain products are undeliverable to certain US addresses for…reasons apparently lmao
