Can we bring zeppelins back next for air?

I wonder if the following scenario ever occurred inside LG when they were designing this spyware.

1. Teenagers exist

2. Teenagers hook up with other teenagers

3. Sometimes that might happen on the couch in front of the TV

If that TV records and transmits anything, who is on the hook for production and distribution of illicit materials? The parents? The kids? Or LG?

PR/legal wise this might be the worst case scenario and might even get some of those legislators and law enforcement people interested.


4. Wait for anyone to come knocking regarding illegal spying.

5. Discover there is absolutely zero enforcement if you are govt. intertwined oligarchy owned conglomerate.

6. Sell collected data (akshully it will be synthetic data "of course", wink-wink) to a legal front to a Nexus darknet laundromat. Also known as "identity verification provider or other somesuch.

7. Insurance companies legally partner with a different legal Nexus front corpo, which will ingest stolen data and make it "sythetic data" again, wink-wink; then provide it to the insurance corpos.

8. Insurance is opaquely "adjusted" to those same teenagers.

9. Profit :)

And, of course, sell it to the Epstein class behind closed doors for undisclosed kickbacks and favouritism.


1. We do NOT record or log anything

2. We might log something but it is local only and these specific features

3. Okay maybe we'll log a little but the TOS gives us permission

4. Yes we log and record everything and this is why it's a good thing; you ought to pay us actually


OMG, yeah, that made me laugh. Then cry.

I'm sure the comments will be full of detractors scoffing at this claiming that all one needs is not to wash their hands. Or just go outside to handle that mud. With luck you might come across the king of Briton.


Sony decided to go with "You will own nothing and be happy"


They must have abandoned such plans (if they had any) when they got some backlash after they added telemetry features and half a dozen forks popped up overnight.


They haven't

Just go the main homepage and there is a banner which leads you to buy the latest plugin

But hontestly nothing wrong with that imo

> half a dozen forks popped up overnight

There is only one actively maintained fork https://tenacityaudio.org/


How about Asahi? Or is your hardware too new for it to apply.


Too new, but my old M1 MacBook Pro runs Asahi and, while I love it and everything the team has done, it's not really daily drivable for work (due to a lack of external display support and other issues).


Call it cynicism or paranoia but whenever something gets passed unanimously especially when it's tech related (lawmakers are notoriously aloof when it comes to tech in general let alone knowing anything about Linux or licenses) there's bound to be a shoe about to drop. Either somewhere else this exemption is rendered moot (which is why it passed so easily) or something else is going on.


I recall reading that Curry went to the same gym as the actor of Penelope in Criminal Minds and asked her (repeatedly as I recall) if he could get a role. Eventually he got one and delivered as Flynn perhaps the most terrifying unsub in the history of the show to date.

As someone who's exposure to him had been in the vein of Home Alone 2, C & C, Muppets and Ferngully where his portrayal had always had considerable amount of whimsy sillyness to it, seeing him take a seriously terrifying role like that was a wonderful experience.

Finale of season 5 and start of season 6 for those wishing to see for themselves (highly recommend).


> an ironic thing about Flock and it's audit trail is that it serves as a honeypot to root out bad police.

That's like saying the SS served as a honeypot for genocidal maniacs.
