Anduril’s autonomous surveillance towers have been used on the U.S.–Mexico border to detect and track migrants, as part of DHS programs. This has drawn criticism from immigrant rights groups and academics who argue such systems dehumanize migrants and enable policies that align with authoritarian nationalism.

Anduril is privately funded (by VC firms like Founders Fund) but markets and sells directly to governments and military agencies, without the typical government R&D cycle. It builds weapons and surveillance systems first, then offers them to the state. This “build first, ask later” model can lead to unchecked corporate influence over the military-industrial complex, which some critics argue is a step toward a techno-authoritarian fascist regime.

Anduril founder Palmer Luckey was ousted from Oculus after it was revealed he funded a pro-Trump meme organization (Nimble America) known for spreading far-right content during the 2016 election. While this doesn’t make the company fascist, it raises concerns for critics about the political leanings of its leadership and how those ideologies could influence product deployment.

Anduril is deeply involved in developing autonomous weapon systems, like the ALTIUS-600M loitering munition. Critics warn that the use of AI to identify and kill targets without human input could lead to violations of international law and facilitate mass violence or authoritarian control. Anduril’s heavy investment in such systems leads some to see it as advancing a dystopian militarized fascist future.

Still if Im going to give my time I will go copyleft.

You’re going to need a rather tight beam to hit that camera and it will only for milliseconds. It would take really bad luck to hit someone continuously long enough through a reflection (drastic reduction in power level by then) to damage their eyesight, plus camera optics are not very reflective of infrared as they need it for night vision, so they’re especially sensitive. But yes, this should be treated with the seriousness of a gun.

Handheld scanning infrared laser, 5 to 50 watts Basically laser-clean the sensor out of existence

Nah, I had a 14400 bauds modem and even then it was never this slow
I went to the dread forum and maybe got 4 page loads in 15 minutes
simply unusable unless you really really need it and already know exactly what you need, where it is, and how to click as few links as possible to get there. And even then, reading single threads is an hours long task.

I tried TOR earlier this year, and the 3 minute pageloads that timeout 3/4 of the time, were very off putting.
I hope we can do better

Ok, well our backup is safe yeah ? So, good, it should burn down to the fucking ground,
Topple DNS tyranny, blow up the CDNs, let datacenters become dilapidated, let the 101 rooms go unstaffed

After the fire maybe something not quite as malevolent will grow in the ashes

How are they able to tell if you are in a different household ? If the user use different VPNs then it shouldn’t be able to tell the different between that and being in different locations. So are they gathering internal network data, are they spying on the LAN and wifi ?

Ah there it is

Ok, well I see it’s not what I’m hoping for And by not this, I mean this

I am aware of self hosted “blogs” but that’s not what I want.

A better way to explain what I want is

This, but opensource and self-hosted

https://pastebinrichtext.com/

with per-file access control

It’s hard to tell if any of these are the thing I’m looking for or not.

I’m reading the grav page and I have no idea how this is.

Is this like this

Press a button
rich text editor appears
write stuff

That’s what I’m aiming for. I had a look, and the blog platform are so much clunkier and frustrating to use. And each of these seems to want to eat several of my weekends to install so I don’t have the luxury of reviewing all of them.

I want something that is more akin to using microsoft word except it’s in the browser and not made by satan Something I can recomment to people and know they’re not going to come back to me and ask “what is a markdown code block”

No, it isn’t arbitrary.

Cryptographic money people seek to privatize governance.

A return to serfdom and kingdoms.

This is not the be allowed.

People who try to dismantle and corner a foundation of society so they can keep it for themselves and beyond to reach of the consensus, are thieves and should be treated as such.

Hopefully we can send all the cryptobros to prison along with the rest of the elites trying to drive society into a wall, before this ridiculous and calamitous change comes to pass.

I’d love to try it, but it supports no phones after 2021 and those are getting scarce on top of being “lackluster” to say the least.
