Wild predators don’t consume more than the environment can sustain
Sometimes they do
Wild animals aren’t less taxing on the environment per se, they’re just differently taxing. Long living ecosystems are likely to be closer to balance. But never perfectly balanced.
Domestic cats are just cats same as the wild ones, but in different numbers and locations
For example, people like to talk about beavers as good for the environment. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t!
Business to business contracts isn’t like consumer contracts, if it’s not in the contract there’s very little protect you
Instant photo cameras are pretty popular
I get that there’s a difference with farmed meat and all, but you may as well argue natural wild predators are bad for the environment
Copyright is copyright. You’ll face a civil suit where you have to convince them there’s a 51% chance you’re right.
Copyright law sucks everywhere.
Copyright already deals with that, although it’s annoying as fuck. You’re only liable if you copied, independent creation is valid and protected.
And you need to prove your own origin of you creation if you get sued, showing it’s not a derivative of the original (or prove it’s sufficiently transformative for fair use)
All neurons does something, not every neuron frequently contributes. Having unused neurons is literally why it’s easy for us to learn things
Home server with your own proxy, give your friends access
Mikrotik.com is another. Often the kind of router developed to work for small businesses and also suitable for homes are decent (note the direction).
If your router supports it, consider flashing openWRT (replacing the OS entirely)

China’s state-sanctioned data collection and intelligence apparatus is leaky. We have observed a vast ecosystem of corrupt insiders siphoning data from China’s state-sponsored data collections apparatus and selling it on the black market. This threat activity most acutely affects Chinese citizens, whose personal data is readily available to any paying customer.
Cybercriminals from the Sinosphere appear to be increasingly present in Western digital crime spaces. This trend seems to be somewhat driven by Chinese scam and smishing actors aggressively and successfully targeting overseas victims. We frequently observe Chinese-language actors re-sharing (or sometimes taking and attempting to re-sell) data breaches from English-language forums in Chinese-speaking communities.
Countries like China rely a lot of independent local groups doing the dirty job so they can shield their national reputation by “taking care of” individual groups as they become a liability. Russia and others do it too. Everybody hacks everybody. Some of these groups target both foreigners and their own. Sometimes for domestic spying, sometimes just for plain scams.
Everybody hacks everybody
Man, the Snowden leaks had examples of 5th to 6th party docs retrieved from hacking intelligence agencies who had hacked intelligence agencies who… You get the point
5 eyes countries literally spy on their own citizens by proxy, retrieving information from each others’ agencies directly (authorized or not)
Every time Biden tried there were dozens of judges all the way up to SCOTUS getting in the way, it’s a miracle he got anything done at all.
He should’ve used all leverage he had to get Trump arrested the week he took over.
The Republicans are trying to go so far as to claim that any votes that weren’t finished counting by midnight EVEN IF DELIVERED shouldn’t be counted
That’s not what he said. There’s a difference between crimes that can’t easily be traced to you and crimes that trigger outrage against you. China acts against the latter. Much of their consumer rights enforcement is about appeasement, not about actual rights, so you only see big action when there’s scandals about serious harm and people effectively being robbed. And you better not talk about it when it’s “done”.
Great firewall strikes again
Considering their company leadership backs Republicans which are harmful to US national security, yes
As long as it’s doable from userspace the OS doesn’t know what’s a browser or what is being controlled with external code. Blame the concept of ambient authority
