  • If it has a microphone, it is always listening

    If it has a camera, it is always watching

    If it has a radio, it is always talking

    Every traffic light has a camera that feeds to a real time crime center where all your movements are tracked and logged.

    There are at least 2 balloons and a dozen KNOWN domestic surveillance satellites all with sub 10cm resolution.

    The US government knows everything everyone is doing, they just have to decide when revealing how they’re spying on everyone is worth catching someone. For now they just pass the info to local LEOs to preform pretext stops and take them for whatever it is. Just watch dashcam of any drug bust from the last 10 years. “You were swerving in your lane, oh look, 500000 fent pills.” Police are being fed illegally obtained intel from the feds.








  • Its not about the tech, it how you use it. I’m nomadic, off grid, and pretty tech minimalist. My 5 year old smart phone just has comaps, revanced, Lemmy, signal and a few other basic tools. My PCs stay as airgapped as possible and I’m ready to hunker down and emulate the last 40 years of video games offline. I haven’t kept up with llms but I’d like to get a decent lower power, highly optimized open source model to run locally once they’re at the best they’ll get before being banned. I just want essentially a offline search engine summary. If its critical I’ll get online but a offline local llm is really useful for me to change little 3 hour ADHD adventures into just a few questions.
