I have a sign in my yard that says "no soliciting or proselytizing." Now I have to replace it with one that also says "No smart glasses (FAFO)".
If someone wears those in my house, I might just get mad enough to kick their ass. Like, for real, I'll toss someone for wearing that garbage in my house.
I try to use Searxist to automatically randomize my search engines, but many of the Searx instances are not appropriate for my language and location. Anubis wants cookies. Everything I do for basic internet searches is a major hastle. It would be easier to go back to Netscape.
Flock cameras. I'd love to get a group together to storm town hall but the "I have nothing to hide club" is thick as theives around here.
Also, I'm afraid that our future is so bleak that it is no longer worth living. We'll never retire or have job security. I've been driven in the ground working so hard, and I'm so tired boss. The issues with the laws are the absence of any legislation to protect workers and our right to be on this planet after AI rapes our employment and privacy.
Age verification laws in the US has started creeping to Linux. A few of the states made exceptions for open source after the dev who merged it with systemd got death threats and people generally flipped out. I guess people overcame that obstacle by complaining a lot. Also, there were some business interests who helped but can't recall any longer (many blessings upon them!)
Where you the one posting about smacking people in the face for wearing smart glasses the other day? In any case, I am glad you are still with us! I too have an extremely dystopian point of view on the future. While I do have anxiety over the fact that my life someday has to end, I am at the same time overjoyed that I was born in the late 80's, not having to put up with all the bullshit, the enshittification, the fall and decay of humanity and the complete and utter abandonment of what pride is still left in us.
If you'd like inspiration on the design of such signs, check this page out! https://banray.eu/en/ A friend of a friend of mine made the site.
Okay. Will do!
And yes that was me.
