It's limited in theory, but I'm skeptical that there aren't leaks to people thst you chat with (by design).
Plus it's available to Signal sysadmins, Amazon (they're host in AWS), the SMS provider they use, the telephone companies, potentially all these company's "partners" that the "share" data with... the list goes on and on.
Overcollecting data is not appropriate, no matter who does it. And as you have pointed out, they do not need to do this in order to allow people to chat with one another, which means it is, in fact, OVERcollecting.
Just imagine living in a world where you put DRM on your home movies just so corporations don't make a copy of your films.
Okay, Microsoft unironically suggesting the telescreen is something people want is where I draw the line. I'm calling it a night.

#Biden just might fuck around enough to lose the election.
It reminds me of Clinton saying he did not have sexual relations with that woman and "it depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is"
People can play word games, but people don't tend to respond favorably.
I see North Carolina is about to ban wearing masks in public. I bet the facial recognition companies are thrilled, along with the police that use such technology at #protests.
Glad I don't live there. #freedom
I just saw Apple is planning on putting OpenAI into their iPhones. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/apple-reportedly-close-to-deal-with-openai-to-add-ai-features-to-iphone/ar-BB1mjiX5
I say "their iPhones" because you dont have a choice about this.
Or rather, you do: stop getting security patches and bug fixes, or get OpenAI.
Hard to say which is worse.

I like the "Destroy Surveillance" one.

The designer worked with a blind person who reads braille regularly. He also made a point to mention their contributions to the project.
Work with the people you are trying to serve. You will get better results by doing so!
Not with that attitude! 🤣
I can't imagine what it must be like to be a #Facebook user who is pro-human rights right now.
To know that they are contributing to Meta's bottom line, even if they give a fake name, it has to weigh on their conscience.
If they haven't left by now, it's probably because they feel like they are locked in.
I hope they find #social #media platforms like this one so they know they have a choice to drop #Meta and still be socially connected. 🫂 #GrowNostr
I'm guessing it'd have to match the photo ID they want, and the voice fingerprint they would extract along with other, undisclosed information they wpuld collect about me.
It's also partially based out of principle. No hacker organization should be encouraging this level of data collection.
I've informed 2600 of the terms I was asked to agree to.
If nothing changes, we'll all know that this was their choice, not ignorance.
This is literally what they are trying to force people to agree to:
"you must grant Onfido Inc. and its affiliates (together, Onfido), the service providers listed below (Providers), and the owner of this website/app (Company)
consent to collect, capture, obtain, possess, store, use, process, disclose and re-disclose (Process) your Biometric Data (defined below) and other personal data, including sensitive personal data (Personal Data), for the purpose described below."
I did not think an organization like 2600 would even agree to do business with a company like this. 🤮
WTF? 2600 mag lets you pay with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but you have to upload photos of yourself to do so...
Nope. Hard pass.
No, you use the post pounder as a fulcrum. Lean it against the post, snagged under a tooth, then pull the top of the post toward the pounder. That forces the post upward. Repeat as needed on subsequent teeth to ratchet the post up out of the ground.
Here's another video showing the same thing:

Ingenious.
Nice. I was thinking of pulling out rebar from the ground. Similar concept. All about the leverage.
Thanks for sharing!
The #Simpsons are truly timeless. This clip is from over 20 years ago.
#humor Kinda #dark when you think about it.
Guys, I'm fifty years old and only now just learned this technique for pulling T-posts out of the ground. This is clearly a failure of the educational system at all levels. I honestly feel a little betrayed by the whole of society that this exists and nobody told me about it. You all just let me sweat and grunt and wiggle posts back and forth for hours like a chump. I've pulled almost as many muscles as posts trying to extract them the hard way, when I could have been yoinking them out of the ground with almost no effort this whole time. Anybody who knows this trick should feel obligated to teach it to at least five other people.

The video isn't playing for me. Is it vise grips and a lever?

Damn, you're stacked now. Now I kinda want to sell some coin and follow suit.
