There was a programmer at my job, he put out the vibe of being a gung-ho guy and got promoted to team lead. The moment he had a scrap of power he started publicly berating the other devs, randomly, over nothing, leaving me wondering who he'd snap on on a given day. One day I got the message to shut off his access to the build server, which meant he was fired. It took way too long but it was delicious when it happened and my work satisfaction skyrocketed. An asshole can change a whole job.

To bring this back around to the NSA, they're prevented by law to do data collection on American citizens who fall outside the exceptions like this FISA bill. The one loophole is that private companies have much more leeway in whose private information they can collect, and NSA can use American tax dollars to buy your personal information that's illegal for them to collect themselves. Now NSA is a military intelligence organization and they're not supposed to toss their intercepts over to US law enforcement like the FBI, but they do.

The usual. Journalists, democracy, threats to fascism and corporate profits at home and abroad.

Two corporate parties, only a revolution can fix that.

I don't think it's much cause for celebration that Mr. "Corporations are people" wants to vote for your party.

Looks more like a paywall to me.

Capitalism will bring out the worst in AI, to prevent it we'd need to overthrow capitalism.

This is an abomination.

Anyway, the Tienanmen Square protests happened before the white terror ended.
