This is why it's vital to get privacy tools now, while it's easy and legal.

Hey we're here.

I have given up on the ability to hide "everything" about myself off the Internet, so instead I have settled for, whatever I share publicly, everyone will have equal access to. My information will not be the property of a private, proprietary algorithm.

They go to every camera everywhere and just use magic marker and scribble out the old logo and draw a new one

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Why do that when they can award the contract to a friend's company to slap a 30¢ sticker covering every logo, and charge the government $100/sticker, plus $160/hr/worker in the field, 2hr/sticker minimum, and pay the ~~employees~~ wages slaves below minimum wage because they're "contractors"?

That sounds really efficient to me!

Hmmmmmm... I'm a Canadian living in the UK. The Muskrat likes efficiency, and giving money to foreign nationals to fuck over Americans. I might be able to make a bit of side-hustle money while I watch the Republic implode!
