Look at the Luigi situation. Police tipped accidentally that they have advanced AI they’ve been using for a decade that we didn’t even know about.
Except that's not what did it, and I suspect any such thing is shitty corporate bloatware. In the end, distinctive eyebrows and a good-old-fashioned snitch did him in. He wasn't anywhere close to the radar before that.
Privacy defeatism was already fully going in the days of MySpace. That should tell you a bit about how empirical it ever was.
Mostly the latter. Name a private thing, any private thing. most people will punch it into GoogleMetaX without skipping a beat.
Shit, you answered before my ninja edit.
Yes, I know. I wouldn't really call it a conservative province, though, and I don't think the Quebec outbreak happened because of the 2018 election.
Nuh-uh, there's certain underdeveloped areas of Africa with more expensive internet than Toronto! /s
Actually, I can't rule out Starlink having changed the calculus there, even.
How? Just, how?
What they have is a money printer. Most of the work they do does appear to be bullshit, but when you're running a monopoly you should be able to get away with that. WTF.
I'm not sure there's any way you could make a computer work that non-technical people would question, at this point.
No, we're not. It's the third least Christian province or territory.
It's the most conservative province for other reasons. The biggest thing I see where I live is blind tradition, but massive oil sector and agricultural employment also has an impact.
In general, the Alberta stereotype is exaggerated. Kind of like the Texas stereotype is in the US.
Wasn't there a massive outbreak in Quebec a bit ago? I guess they do have a conservative government right now, but I feel like that contradicts the spirit of this.
At a community level you're almost certainly right about how the people vote, but those pockets are all over the place.
Lol, I think we were the entertainment that day.
I meant the ones in their closet, but when it comes to methods of disposing of political enemies, you never know!

Summary from the 404 media newsletter
Heart cockles, a group of marine molluscs, contain little communities of algae in their shells as part of a symbiotic relationship; the algae get shelter and protection, and the cockles get algae-processed nutrients.
Now, scientists have discovered that cockle shells have a host of mind-boggling adaptations to keep these algae happy, including windows that offer “the first example of fiber optic cable bundles in a living creature.”
“We show that the fibrous prismatic crystals act like parallel bundles of fiber optic cables in the shell windows, not just transmitting light but projecting high-resolution images through the window,” that have “a resolution of >100 lines/mm,” said researchers led by Dakota McCoy of the University of Chicago.
From the article in the link above:
Fig. 1: Heart cockles (Corculum cardissa and Corculum spp.) are asymmetrical, photosymbiotic bivalves.
Fig. 2: Transparent windows allow heart cockle shells to transmit 11–62% of photosynthetically active radiation (mean = 31%) and significantly screen out UV radiation (mean = 14%, range = 5–28%).
New plant evolution possibility just dropped?
Yes. A government that's out to get you is pretty much outside Western living memory, and people seem to think that their rights are a law of physics now.
I wonder what the conversation about digital privacy is like in former East Germany.
