My Dad got us a fancy VCR that could fast forward to chapter markers we could manually add to each vhs. Of course, fast forward wasn’t instant, and sometimes the marker on the tape would get corrupted over time…

And let’s not forget the asinine claim about music composition. Yeah, this is a bullshit fluff piece to keep attention on AI.

Yes, but actually no.

The bill of rights, i.e. first set of ammendments, are supposed to guarantee it. The framing of the original document did not include anything about our rights. Like - nothing at all what so fucking ever. Which kinda explains why those rights have been trampled all over by our own government so many times - they were an afterthought to market the main document to the masses.

Well, those fuckers captured the US government decades ago. Pretty much why the actual effect of actions taken by either party play out almost the same fucking way…

Well, don’t forget “national security” has always been a euphemism for protecting the interests of the wealthy.

Not a lawyer, but when the corporation goes to trial instead of selling, that’s not a great sign.

So, my guess is either the defendants know they are probably going to win, or the penalty for losing is likely to be insignificant.

I agree, except that it’s the data broker corporations that are really behind this.

So called “social” media exists to isolate you. The illusion if your life being “crippled” only affects you if you choose to let that happen

The Scotland Yard or whatever they started with did not really even resemble modern policing.

Dude, we invented police. Literally. We are the original police state, which can be easily backed up by the fact that we have a higher percentage of incarcerated individuals than any other nation. And that has been true for a very long time.
