What do you mean? I live in one of the most surveillanced places in the world, almost everyone I live around in every house I visit for work has literally paid for the privilege to record everything that happens near their house and is uploaded to computers for God knows what. It's actually naive to think that not every single aspect of your life is being documented and transmitted into data at this very moment and that a simple link saying don't do this is going to stop any of it. On top of that what do you mean are we done? I didn't question anything about what you were doing I asked what the link was you answered me and then I said that was dumb we were done after I said it was dumb.
I don't. But I do feel bad for you. I suggest trying to find some place where you can live more free, if that's possible for you.

I live in California, I can barely manage to be alive here, leaving America is not a reality for me. In fact, getting to California was actually a win for me. It's not perfect but it's better than where I was if not financially viable but it's more where I want to be than where I was.
I have no angst against you or what you're doing I just don't really care. My comments will be used (and yours) regardless what I link to and if I didn't want that happen I would just stop talking online all together rather than linking to something an ai bot won't give 2 picoseconds of thought to.
Hey, me too. Wait, unless there's two California's out there, one where the cameras and microphones up your ass 24/7, and the other one that doesn't have that?
All snarkeyness aside, I'm sure there's other places on the planet that has real and true state sponsored surveillance, that doesn't exist in the US. Maybe you were exaggerating just a tad bit?
If it makes you feel any better, I don't use any of those products in my home, for the reasons you've stated. And I'm severely wishing my phone had a physical button to switch on / off the microphone. But then again, everyone in the US has a phone now, I don't think that's just a California thing.
Truly no disrespect meant, but you're arguing a lot for someone who really doesn't care. 😇
I've heard your points, and I truly wish happiness for you in your future. I grew up here, and I know how things are a lot more expensive today, than they were in the past.
If we can move on now, that would be great. We have derailed the post conversation enough.

No we good man You just asked me to not be a coward and respond so I did no hard feelings either way in fact this is one of the easier conversations I've had on the internet lol. What I'm referring to is all the ring cameras and the smart cameras and the stupid surveillance shit on people's houses that whistle at you when you walk up to their home. Those things have super sensitive sound and it's naive to think that not all of this it is being uploaded to some place where it's all being analyzed and what not we have no idea. I mean think about how many different security cameras are out there and my main clientele are mostly wealthy people who feel the need to protect their homes with an absurd amount of security despite the fact that they live in gated neighborhoods that nobody has access to.
Trust me I'm not trying to argue with you I'm just having a back and forth you ask a question I answer it. What I'm saying I don't care about is people using what I say on the internet the train and AI bot when I know there's so much else out there going on that's being used against my will there's nothing I can do about it.
Have a good one.

You too!
On this spot, on April 27, 2024, the internet functioned acceptably. The details of this historic moment are described below:
Two strangers narrowly evaded having a flame war, but cool heads prevailed. Strongly-vested yet differing opinions were discussed, and no argument resulted. An extremely improbable event (n=0.00000234242069), both conversationalists walked away with a moderate degree of happiness, and no further discussion was had.
Dude that's hilarious. You right though.
