    Our local sheriff is using some spy level shit in our county that he refuses to explain.

    He keeps “happening” upon crimes just “on accident.” yesterday it was “stopped to take a pee in public park and caught a baddie” and two days before that it was “just happen to follow and pull over a guy with lots of pounds of pot hidden in the car.”

    The US police are spying on Americans phones, internet, GPS, and everything with no judicial recourse because it is corporations spying and then “giving the info” to the police for money.

    The US law enforcement has gone full STAZI but using capitalism as additional cover.

    The US is dead.

          Good thing you put the “tech related” qualifier on there. He probably should have stayed in that lane.

            Indeed.

            It’s also a reminder of why we shouldn’t mindlessly celebrate celebrity figures like they’re deities.

            Stallman has amazing views regarding FOSS, but yeah, some of his other opinions are… interesting.

            This made me think of Jordan Peterson…some of his early stuff on actual psychology was interesting and informative…then there is all the other stuff, you had a lane stay in it.

            But I guess very minor celebrity can go to someones head and make them do crazy things. /s (damn you Poe’s law)

              He should’ve cleaned his own fucking room.

              I will say his recent interview of (by?) Alex O’Connor was spectacular, though.

        Let’s all apologize to Stallman.

        For the twice a day that broken toe-jam-eating watch is right?

      They’re probably just capturing SMS messages or regular calls. Which is still illegal without a warrant, but who watches the watchers? Use encrypted chats and encrypted calls if you’re worried.

        “on accident“ 🤮

        I know. Who SAYS that? It’s by accident. One doesn’t plan these things.

        As the old and venerable neuromonkey once said:

        Welp. Just let the nukes fly, then. First it’s “on accident,” and before long you’ve got meth addicted baby prostitute warlords running the local Walmart.

      That’s also a red flag for a dirty cop getting information from criminal group A to go after competition.

      You should probably move.
