A lot of this is also coming from the Know Your Customer act. More and more businesses are demanding copies of your IDs. It shouldn't be a big deal to pay cash for a room, and stay the night anonymously. It never was in the past. KYC needs to be repealed.
@I_am_Ortis Some hotels have a habit of scanning IDs... really hats this

Oh wait. Amazon owns the UPS store, don't they? If you go get a PO Box, they don't have to deliver to your personal address. Enshitification.

Profiles of U.S. Representatives and Senators that include their legislative activity.
Netherlands just cancelled the 36% tax on unrealized gains. Back to the drawing board after huge negative public reaction. You can't force people to pay taxes on paper profits they have not realized yet. Especially when those gains can evaporate overnight. This policy was

I'm sorry. I'm just not buying the scenario that there is a line of pizza delivery vehicles pulling up to the front door of the Pentagon and checking in with the security desk to drop off late night nourishment.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Remember the guys tracking pizza orders near the Pentagon? When late night delivery spikes, it often means something is about to happen militarily. It spiked before the Iran strikes last June. Spiked before the U.S. captured Maduro in January. The War Secretary was

The Guardian makes an excellent point. The Internet has bad people Instead of having parents speak with their children or implementing parental controls, we should make everyone in the country give large tech companies a face scan or photo ID

This is awesome.
Chief Warrant Officer 5 Eric Slover is a real life Superman and I’ll tell you why: -Obtaining CW5 in the Army is extremely rare in itself. -Right shoulder is a combat patch with Special Operations Command. Essentially meaning he is “Delta Force” of Aviation. -Eric was the first

You want to "empower parents?" Forget KOSA, GUARD, or SCREEN. Get us back to a 1-parent-in-the-workforce economy, so parents can be at home with kids.

I expect, if it's not already happening, a chatbot to start back channel snitching on people who are chatting with it about "dangerously subversive" ideas.
Large language models will eventually be - arguably likely already are - essential for free speech, particularly anonymous speech. Controversial speakers will need to run their writings through AI to disguise their written voice.

Get healthy. Get rested. The fight is coming.
❗️Apple ID verification only applies to two US states and I expect Supreme Court rulings on those. “Thw downloads of apps rated 18+ in Brazil, Australia, and Singapore, while also rolling out other features to comply with laws in Utah and Louisiana in the U.S.” I have to admit,
