  • Planes they already have can’t really be grounded immediately without replacements. Buying replacements takes time and money. Negotiating contracts also takes time. Pre existing contracts tying a company to boeing probably exist in some places. There’s probably some incentive to not drop a somewhat strategic business on a whim. And maybe some people believe that boeing will start pulling their head out of their ass at some point.

    And all that would be a hindrance assuming there is a will to stop buying boeing planes, AND move to another, potentially foreign business like Airbus.






  • That’s the plan. Attack subject that are traditionally seen as taboo/sensitive/whatever, then extend. CSAM content, porn in general, even random bulletin board with cringey content these days, are used as the entrypoint. You target those, people are wary about defending their rights because of the flagship topic, so laws are changed to put some extra layers of tracking, surveillance, etc.

    Step two is claim whatever site/service the current government dislike falls under an imaginary category that allows using these layers of surveillance. And these are extra hard to remove once put in place, because nobody wants to break their surveillance toy.

    It’s never about the porn, it’s never about the kids, it’s never about our security when a proposal shows up and talks about breaking encryption, privacy, etc.





  • I hope some people are keeping track of all this, to keep them ALL accountable, and put safeguards in place so that it won’t happen again. I also hope there will be something to build on next US election.

    If people are ok with authoritarian regimes, let’s use that as an opportunity to strong hand transparency and trust into them. I was always against that stance, but the fucking shitfest we’re seeing there? Yeah, no more of that. Force laws that prevents unlimited power when you can instead of hoping the next madman will play “fair”.


  • The end result is the same though; if the bar is set to “be vaccinated against a minimal set of preventable disease”, and either people are happy to not be, or worse, because there’s always a worst option, we start seeing more cases of people falsely claiming to be vaccinated while they’re not, other countries might start tightening the grip.

    …how would we know that some vaccination certificates are bogus? I have no doubt that some people would be bright enough to travel while having measles or whatever. It already happened, and increasing the amount of people in this situation is unlikely to heighten their awareness of it :(


  • Weren’t they saying good thing about vaccines a few week ago? After saying they were useless? After saying they were efficient? After saying they caused whatever? After saying they weren’t against them? After saying they caused cognitive decline in kids? After saying they did not have an opinion? After saying they would not use them?

    If a massive amount of people were not put in harms way by this senile sick idiot, it would be hilarious to make a montage of their interviews flip-flops.
