@thendrix Anything is legal as long as one pays the government their blood money. A fission weapon in a gold reserve was possibly the best Bond movie plot.

@thendrix The FBI is where a decent amount of CIA/NSA operatives were put.

She better think twice before starting any running gags as they get old quick.

SAN FRANCISCO — Google has agreed to settle a $5 billion privacy lawsuit alleging that it spied on people who used the “incognito” mode in its Chrome browser - along with similar “private” modes in other browsers - to track their internet use.

I bet they sell it and such for more than what they just “paid”. Especially when FBI et al will pay a good bit for such “legal” spying, even before you get into using the same data for AI and algorithms. So like how many ways can they profit off that data? 🤔

@thendrix They could make cyber stalkers blackmail politicians and have it all automated. It's free real estate. Dystopian hellscape is the negative view of an exciting new market filled with new opportunities. Invest today!

@thendrix She was probably having a difficult time juggling her words.

@thor Autism doesn't necessarily speak though. :/
Someone should really double check charities for bitter irony.

@lupyuen I'm giggling. A 3.5in floppy disk had 1.44MB of storage. It makes me feel old until the drive starts to read and I grab my chest. :ablobcatbongo: That sound, a dot matrix printer and a dialup modem were somehow tolerable back then. (They also ran on a few kilobytes of memory.)
It's impressive that development is still working on getting into such optimized roles.

"it is very well possible to run code ... on small microprocessors with only a few kilobytes of memory"

Yale's Department of Applied Mathematics just mathed against the machine so hard.

@thor Americans love Norwegians, a more robust people than the Sweedes. An accent that says I am content with having my own culture but I also have a large vocabulary.
