if you don't support the product you must make it FOSS. been saying it for years.

I'm very pro privacy, but I'm just going to say out loud that it's not like US state and federal governments don't already have photos of your face that can be used to track you. The alternative is to hand over your ID, the thing the government printed after capturing and storing a picture of your face.

Did you know the TSA is a public branch of defense that sits between the DOD and the NSA?

I bet you didn't know that whatever data the TSA collects they can sell to corporations and back to the government for "validations".

the key is corporations can buy your private data from the government.

so yeah, this is a HUGE privacy issue.

maybe some people....

finally, someone fixed Windows 11.

now to install SW Outlaws.

don't look guys! I totally did not piss my pants!

a well tuned carb will outperform an EFI system

for about two hours. 🤣

EFI is dynamic and adjusts the system as needed. However, a carb can be fixed with almost anything. I have a feeling that some of the older parts for EFI vehicles will be bought by major manufacturers and trashed/over priced to improve new vehicle sales and long term data collection goals. almost exactly how GM parts are today.

yeah... containers are easy as long as you know wth you're doing.

I've written a few of those before.

and it's true, someone will trigger it eventually.

It's not just about profits, it's about accountability. That's what the different forms of corporations represent. A singular private person can't and shouldn't be held accountable for every product the produce. A business is a layer of protection of limited (Ltd.) accountability.

this is laughable. Corporations aren't being held accountable for anything anymore because they have personhood rights.

How could anybody be motivated to invent or produce anything if a single miss use of your product that causes any harm (intended or not) could lead to you directly being held responsible and possible going to jail.

People invent and produce things every day. You're confusing yourself with mass production at scale.

A business on the other hand usually has limited accountability but is also held to a much higher standard of quality and proof than a private individual ever could.

no longer the case. a private individual would be put in jail (like you said) for harming one person with a product. who goes to jail when millions are poisoned by a company? Who maintains that standard of quality and proof? The same government that turns a blind eye when millions of Americans are poisoned?

But to get back on topic, People empower the business. Without the people, there is no business.

People ~~Businesses~~ are the ones that produce food, medicine, clothes, build houses, print books, provide gas and electricity, build roads, etc. There are businesses that have outlasted their usefulness ~~monarchies and democracies~~. I'm ~~not~~ a corpo schmuck ~~but~~ and culture is ~~small businesses are~~ the soul of the soul of our society.

there, I fixed it.

the purpose of any business is to be profitable, otherwise it's a charity. businesses have zero philanthropic goals.

people make a business profitable. People make the products and services. People consume the product.

no people, no business.

no government, no people, no business.

don't let greed cloud your judgement.
