A shit-ass database system that treats empty strings as null values, and doesn't do automatic casting between ISO date-formatted strings and date/datetime types, yet costs a fuckton to license. Even if he weren't a multibillionaire piece of shit, that fucking prick still deserves the guillotine just for OracleDB's unholy existence; that software wasn't released: it escaped.
The Deserter: The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest, most courageous people in the world...

I was watching 90 day fiance the other way and one of the persons wife is in China. When they were driving around he would see a "flashing light" and freak out. It got to the point where they had a fight over it, she was like "I donno maybe the apartment camera or something" and he'd make her drive around to catch it again. On stormfront, people were saying it's probably China watching them and other propaganda bs.
Now I know in the US, there's hella cameras in public places plus we're encouraged to surveil on our own with ring cameras and the like. So what's so scary about a camera flash? It's scary when it's tied to the evil seeseepee but we'll gladly sign our own privacy away for any private company that contracts with the state anyway
Amazing, willingly participating in a reality show where you are constantly being filmed, and freaking out about some random light because ebil communism!
Cyberpunk styles are going to involve makeup that puts extra eyes and facial features to confuse AI face trackers or even just going outside with billionaire face masks on
It's incomprehensible to us because we lack the Billionaire Mindset: a severe degree of narcissism that compels them to control everyone and everything at the costs of cheapened human lives and the moral bankruptcy of their own souls.
