Because the seriousness of this contract should require proof that you agreed to it

A little click box is fine for something that doesn’t matter, but for lifetime real time surveillance, that’s important enough that you should have a serious contract with proof that you actually signed it

Notarized. The agreements need to be notarized.

Agreed

I instantly know this really a treasonous post and I can downvote and ignore.

It saves me the step reading trying to decide if it is a parody account or something.

I am reading “Thinking fast and slow” by Daniel Kahniman.

This seems to be way more true than I am comfortable admitting to myself.

Cavanaugh stops!

25% is a huge tipping point for social dynamics.

If he loses just a little more support the whole MAGA movement will begin to unravel.

These over the top actions are distractions from the fact that he has not released the Epstein files as REQUIRED BY LAW.

We are close to the end of this.

Keep pushing for the files

The 2% inflation (together with property taxes) also forces the wealthy to keep their assets producing wealth for people other than themselves.

If they could just hoard money for generations without it deflating to worthlessness, then the level of investment and jobs would be dramatically less.

This is how the landed gentry of medieval Europe could keep all the land tied up for hunting while not having to give a shit that the serfs were starving.

Currently you have to keep your assets earning to pay for themselves which generally leads to employment and broad increases in living standards.

We Catholics take a lot of well earned crap for a lot of people for a lot of things we did over the millennia.

But people often forget that a not insignificant percentage of Saints became saints being murdered for standing up to the church for the dumb shit they were pushing.

 
 

DENVER (AP) — Voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, a target of false conspiracy theories from President Donald Trump and his supporters since the 2020 election, has been bought by a firm run by a former Republican elections official, the new company announced Thursday.

The newly formed company, Liberty Vote, also vowed to follow the executive order Trump signed last spring seeking sweeping changes to election policies that multiple judges have put on hold for violating the Constitution.

 
 
 
 

Don’t believe the naysayers. No matter which state you are in, your vote is important. Extreme Conservatives have been taking over school boards and imposing their agenda on kids.

Offices like Sheriff, Coroner, Secretary of State, Lt Governor, State Representatives, City and County Councils etc. are all important.

Every Vote Counts!!!!!

Many important local races will be decided by less votes than the number of updoots I will receive for this comment.

 

UPDATE 10/4 6:47 EDT

I have been going through all the comments. THANKS!!!!!! I did not know about the techniques listed, so they are extremely helpful. Sorry for the slow update. As I mentioned below, I got behind with this yesterday so work cut into my evening.

I ran a port scan. The first syntax, -p, brought no joy. The nmap software itself suggested changing to -Pn. That brought an interesting response:

nmap -Pn 1-9999

Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2024-10-04 11:44 BST

Failed to resolve "1-9999". Nmap scan report for Host is up (0.070s latency). All 1000 scanned ports on 192.168.0.46 are in ignored states. Not shown: 990 filtered tcp ports (no-response), 10 filtered tcp ports (host-unreach) Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 6.03 seconds Just to be absolutely sure, I turned off my work computer (the only windows box on my network) and reran the same syntax with the same results.

As I read this, there is definitely something on my network running windows that is not showing up on the DHCP.

UPDATE 10/6

I am working through all these suggestions. I am sorry for the slow responses, but I have my hands full with family weekend. I will post more next tomorrow. But I did do one thing that has me scratching my head and wondering if this may be a wild goose chase.

I ran the nmap again per below with a completely fictional IP address within my normal range. It gave the exact same results:

nmap -A -T4 -p- -Pn

Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2024-10-05 13:36 BST Nmap scan report for

I have been using Logitech peripherals for years. Logitech gear always just worked.

Now they demand internet accounts to use the features of the keyboard and mouse that I purchased. WTF?

Not only that, have to use wide-open-to-snooping Chrome to adjust the settings. You cannot adjust/use your mouse and keyboard if you just use Firefox.

This only makes sense if they are planning (or are already) tracking my every move online to sell to advertisers or spooks.

What are the good options?

Also, if anybody sees how these changes could be benign, please let me know.

EDIT:

By popular demand:

The keyboard I bought that started this journey: MX Keys S

The key feature that first demanded cloud access: Swithing between computers, now it is requires it to adjust the receivers. I have both a Bolt and a Unifying receiver.

Mouse (actually a trackball) that now is requesting that I use a Chrome Browser to adjust it: M570

Software:
The Logi SetPoint Settings I open from Windows now requires you to log into your Logitech account to make changes to your Unifying or 2.4 ghz usb receiver. This link takes you to a screen that says Logi Web Connect. It does not work unless you use the latest version of Chrome, Edge, & Opera, but reccomends Chrome for the best experience.

Logitech + used to require this to enable options, but I don’t see it on my Windows computer anymore. It is still on my Mac, but upon opening it to confirm for this message, it seems to be announcing that it is now able to incorporate AI into everything I type. (ugggh)

 

I am sorry, but I think this is a subscriber only podcast. Today when discussing the advancements of AI and Digital Twins, the expert said they are now “Streets Ahead”.

Specifically he said “Formula One manufacturers have some of the most advanced technology you can see. They are Streets Ahead of other manufacturers.

I thought this group may appreciate that.

Edit: the timestamp is 11:30 The name of the podcast is: Foiled Again, A Second Attempt on Trump
