Take my angry upvote and get out.

America fought for independence from Britain because the wealth of the nation was being sucked away and spent for the whims of a handful of wealthy people, and because the people were powerless to chose who the government was. If you factor in the insane number of insanely Gerrymandered districts and significant quantities of votes going through Musk’s servers with no external scrutiny, a broken electoral college and a supreme court intent on deleting the constitution starting with section 3 of the 14th amendment (and now moving on to the rest of it), removing religious freedom, I see everything that the founding fathers fought for and everything that the civil war was fought for being stamped on by one deluded racist moron and his crazy sycophants and enablers. It was never really freedom from slavery anyway when you have such vast numbers of black men working for no wage in profiteering private prisons for decades just for smoking some pot or stealing some groceries while rich men who do drugs or steal tens of thousands get a slap on the wrist.

Thank you. This made me laugh.

They called it 8.1

So… the dead server controls who is even able to enter the building? Wow. That is one big juggernaut of a problem heading for you.

You think the GOP looks after people’s needs?! The gop is the party of “f**k you, I’ve got mine”.

You turn away from Jesus when you ignore the needs of others.

I think we agree on that.

So you walk on by on the other side of the road.

You consistently “both sides” politics and choose to see no difference between the party of hate and the party of compromise. There’s only one reason to equate the evil party with the unhelpful party.

Jesus didn’t say “justify your moral errors whilst choosing the path that reduces your tax burden” and he certainly didn’t say “it’s ok to vote for the ones that stand for almost everything I preached against, I certainly didn’t mean that the whole country should act lovingly, and your tax reducing charitable donation and your ‘charity begins at home’ excuses you from moral culpabilty if you vote for more cruelty and selfishness to wash over the whole country”

Did you think Jesus can’t see what you’re doing on the voting machine? Did you think he doesn’t know why? Do you really think he doesn’t care about the poor people that have their benefits cut so that the rich can have a tax cut?

“Weep and wail, ye rich men. You have not paid the wages of those who reap. In their anguish they have cried out to the Lord, and he has heard them.”

But no, sure, God has no opinion on kings and leaders and doesn’t care if they are the enemy of truth and justice. That’s the message of whatever Bible you’re not reading, I’m sure. /s

Denying Jesus’ insistence that you should look after the poor, the widows and foreigners is aok by you, though, for some reason. “If you love me, follow my commands.” “When did we see you hungry and not feed you?” “It is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.”

You’ve corrupted a message of “no, pay your taxes and your synagogue” and “love your neighbour (meaning anyone who is in need, including foreigners, and put your money where your mouth is)” into “it’s fine to advocate for and vote for tax cuts for the wealthiest and aid cuts for those on greatest need, and incarcerating people for being foreign”.

There is no get out clause for selfishness and hatred via the ballot box as you’re claiming.

If I thought for a moment that you meant something other than that you find yourself excuses for supporting the Liar in Chief and the grand old party of selfishness, hatred and racism, I wouldn’t be calling you out on it, but you’re not just lying about Jesus’ message, you’re lying about your political neutrality which is non-existent and attempting to draw others into your duplicity and self deception.

Ah, you’re one of those “Both sides” people. Gotcha.

It sounds like you’re using “pay your taxes” to argue that it’s ok by Jesus if you vote for the Republican party, which I think is messed up because he said so much about caring for others.

I’m confident that he would disagree with the Republican party!

If the biometric ID is collected and stored by someone else, not only have I lost my anonymity, I’ve also lost control of my identity and there’s no way for me to stop that happening.

This is unequivocally bad for privacy.

Exactly!

Biounique id is an advertiser’s wet dream and I don’t think it’s theoretically possible to prevent it from being exploited for profiling by Google. If the hashed encrypted token retains the uniqueness then it points to you as an individual across time, devices and location changes. There is no escaping this ID. You can’t change it, you can’t get a new one.

Google and other multinational corporations WILL know where you live and can figure out all your personal characteristics with a little time. Your anonymity is gone forever.

Sam Altman saw the film Minority Report in which iris scanners on holographic billboards trigger the advertisements to address you by name, hampering the escape of the central character who was being set up, and thought “Cool, let’s make this. I’m going to be rich! The other dystopian aspects of the film are fiction, but this one I can make real.”

Scan your biounique eyeball to provide ID whilst retaining your anonymity???

Anonymity and the ability for someone else to prove it was me are nearly opposites.

I’m on windows so it’s very not yet for me at the moment!

a pump & dump with telemetry isn’t it

I don’t think so, given who’s developing it.
