The switching cost point is profound and real. You might just see that same dynamic at your place of employment.

Or a variation of this is TailScale configured to use NextDNS and a TS exit node. That’s for anyone who doesn’t want to maintain a PiHole. I’ve done both. Personal choice.

We might be headed toward the same conditions that spawned the French revolution. I’m not in favor of that but once the wealth transfer gets to a certain point there’s historical president to draw upon.

Is his name Cletus by any chance?

Will we see a similar post when they completely switch over to steer by wire?

All true. Most of the argument about free travel isn’t about taxes per se. It’s about being able to travel on those for which you paid taxes without further restrictive encumbrance. I’m sorry arguing for that but at the same time I understand the constitutional case for it.

I’m not sure the book has been closed on this one. You don’t have to be a sov citizen to read the constitution and know that laws get passed all the time that violate civil rights for instance. Laws get overturned when they are challenged and someone has standing. Appeals courts are issuing rulings all the time that reverse what many assume was iron clad and untouchable. Jimmy YouTuber could be wrong but if he tests it and appeals with standing, we might just be surprised by the outcome.

Agreed. This was rolled out without any regard whatsoever for people’s interest in data privacy. That kind of entitled behavior from any government agency is just plain gross.

Never call the police. They are not there to help. Nothing good will happen.

Traditional QA is horse and buggy shit anyway. Shift left and make your tests the requirements (ATDD). Testing is self service, automated and there’s zero delta between behavior intended and behavior tested. Put product owners on the hook to learn Gherkin and Bob’s your uncle.

I’d like to request my tax dollars stay the fsck out of religious conflict as well. This has been going on for thousands of years. I don’t believe in unicorns and leprechauns but I do believe there are many serious issues to solve that have nothing to do with imaginary deities.

All the shitter domains are on my DNS block list. Happier for it.

Opt out. If we don’t exercise our rights, we lose them.

"What if they retaliate and make life difficult for me? "

That’s both illegal and against policy. If someone delays your right to travel for this specific reason, delay their job by asking for their supervisor and their name and employee number. Then file a complaint. That will dissuade that public servant (and their leadership) from exhibiting such behavior and encouraging it respectively.

“But they are capturing your image in 10 skillion other public locations.”

1. Sure, and you have the option to create your own privacy in public.
2. Further, what’s the real purpose of the scanner at the TSA check if they already have that detailed image of your retina, your facial pore patterns and whatever the fsck else they store? They don’t have that level of detail yet on CCTV.

If you don’t care, then that’s fine. Some people don’t mind the slow encroachments on 4th Amendment protections. Cool. Others do. Cool also. That’s why we can opt out.

He might be angling to be the next one fingered by Donald Trump

NextDNS is another option that’ll give you PiHole level control and customization. I will say PiHole is pretty easy to get up and running tho.

Never call the police regardless of your ethnicity. Period. They’re not going to help. If you don’t get shot, they’ll look for some pretext to arrest you - even if you’re the victim or witness of a crime.

Well by another definition they all have the same core religious view. Just as any other religion that perpetuates collective hysteria and war. Humanity is better without any kind of organized dogma. Let’s jettison the stone age thinking.
