The guy I know who’s into it likes radios and radio waves, antennas, and whatnot. Builds his own stuff. The HAM community also has a tradition of sending these little “contact card” type things like called QSL cards, if you contact someone in Monrovia or something, they can mail you a paper card that certifies, yup, you talked to someone in Monrovia all the way from Kansas or wherever. Can even get one from the International Space Station if you make contact with it, which people do regularly on HAM.

I have an SLR just because I think it’s neat. I have a computer based peripheral one and a portable handheld one with a screen on it.

Can listen to shortwave, long wave, am, FM, and all sort of other bands, such as weather, marine, air traffic, trains, pretty much any unsecured walkie talkie and GMRS frequencies.

Has anyone in the House or Senate leadership that has received classified briefings on this done anything to oppose it? An email campaign is going to change absolutely nothing.

Bye bye.

I’d like to punchasize his face, for free.

Nah that’s just your own wishful thinking.

Braindead take of the day.

These are not the five eyes countries.

It just occurred to me that the reason I don’t remember those events, and have no basis to compare, because I had already left the platforms. Same for Digg.

I deleted my personal and business Twitter account the day Musk took over.

I have no idea about anything at all, but part of me wants to see this be the result of some predictable, stupid mistake, like a unit conversion error or something, and another part of me wants it to be something totally unpredictable, like some unique gravitational anomaly or some latent radiation of some kind, like, something with muons.

Ha. Someone once told me, “talking is the first step to inaction.”

It takes too much time and resources. A lie runs halfway around the world before the truth laces up it’s shoes.

Manipulators and liars need to be stopped by a higher authority. I’m fine with that authority being civil liability, the criminal justice system obviously sucks at it. Let’s get serious and stop letting this stochastic terrorism go unpunished.

Lose your dad to Fox News conspiracies? Should be able to sue Fox News for child support. Lose your husband to a mass shooting caused by some deranged Trumper that thinks Paul Pelosi is coming to take our guns? Should be able to sue trump personally for wrongful death. It’s not like Fox and Trump don’t know what the consequences are.

Let juries be the arbiters.

This problem isn’t going to be solved without financial liability or violence.

How do you mean they misunderstood the point?

Do you mean like that instead of banning you just squelch them instance by instance, solve the problem that way?

That doesn’t really help disrupt the thing causing the problem. Really just ignoring it.

I don’t know enough about this to have a strong opinion, and again I’m not even sure if that’s what you meant. School me.

Omggg

I really like the idea of this. I’m going to book mark the link and never click it.

We have the same tax law in America. Can’t deduct clothing that you could wear for non work.

This is not an area of law I stay up to date on, but that did not used to be the case. Is that a rather new development?

Last I knew most courts were holding that since customers are sharing this information with third parties (sharing with their phone companies, Apple and Google, Facebook, etc.), giving everything away anyway, most individuals have waived any claim to an expectation of privacy. The right to privacy is founded upon reasonable expectations. I did hear about some pushback on that, more recently, but not from the Court of Appeals from DC, which has jurisdiction over appeals taken from federal agencies, prior to the Supreme Court. I’d be grateful to be shown otherwise. About time, if true.

Search and seizure, the Fourth Amendment, only applies to State actors. The only exception is when a private entity is acting as an agent of the government, such as in the case of private prisons.

Congress needs to pass consumer protection laws aimed at privacy in the digital age. They haven’t updated this sort of thing I believe since 1996. It used to be legal for adult video stores to disclose the tapes people rented, but Congress passed a privacy law forbidding it when some journalists disclosed some of their rentals. The scandal had some cool name. I forgot what.

This should be the new gaming copy pasta. I applaud your rational introspection, and solid writing.

That is 100% the truth.
