Just restrict network access (both in and out) with proper (trusted) hardware firewall. It’s much safer that relying on disabling / configuring etc. You can’t attack what you can’t reach (directly or in reverse).

Is this AI generated? I don’t think so because it is lacking nonsensical stuff but maybe AI is this good now??

It would be a evolutionary benefit to fear / avoid any person that is behaving strangely in certain distinct ways. Could be a dangerous transmittable disease, i.e. rabies etc.

Basically all service providers in the EU will be forced to change their terms of service that all users will have to agree to in order to continue using the service. You will simply get an “updated terms service” notification with a link and one big “OK” button and nothing else. If you follow the link to the terms of service, somewhere deep down (like page 276 of 389) it will says “I agree to be monitored”. You now have the choice to uninstall the app or to click “OK”. It’s basically everything. Obviously Google, Outlook, Yahoo etc and all the Chat apps (Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp) etc. So “Consent” is not really optional if you want to use any internet service, they can just pretend that it is so that can go on an uncontrolled unwarranted spying rampage against everyone and of course for everything.

China chill? The legitimate concern is that China is controlling the way certain messages are pushed (“the algorithms”) to control topics that they have an interest in. I.e. pushing misinformation to drive support for Trump or Biden, as an example. That is not free speech or privacy, that is malicious interference and the the fear of the US doing this is the sole reason China has already banned similar US apps in China. That is also the reason they would rather be banned than to “give up the algorithms” (they certainly won’t allow anyone to see how they push misinformation).

Straight from the horse’s mouth!

You get used to it. It helps to have a good graphics card so that the frame rate is high enough. I am sad many good games don’t support VR. I.e. Start Citizen, Cyberpunk 2077, etc. Yes, there are mods for it, but it should be supported natively (if mods can do it, why can’t the developer?). It is just so much more immersive to be able to look around naturally and see stereoscopic.

Married. A look, even indirect, is enough for her to know exactly what I think about. It’s scary when she asks me if I’m hungry before I realized that I was (must have been passingly looking over to the kitchen/snacks without even realizing it). If i look at her boobs for 2 seconds she knows, even while looking in another direction/at a phone. It’s kind of scary. I guess I am really obvious without knowing it. I do sometimes wonder if she can read my mind.
