12·12 days agoIt’s indeed so hard to keep up.
I know it’s different, but that reminds me of the Gish gallop.
“The Gish gallop is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm an opponent by presenting an excessive number of arguments, with no regard for their accuracy or strength, with a rapidity that makes it impossible for the opponent to address them in the time available.”

- Right-wing influencers say they were dupes in an alleged Russian influence operation. They’re keeping their millions, for now (CNN, Sept. 2024)
“Last week, the Justice Department alleged that Russian state media producers funneled nearly $10 million to an unnamed Tennessee-based company, later determined by CNN to be Tenet Media, to create and amplify content that often featured narratives and themes supported by the Kremlin. Tenet Media boasts a slate of high-profile right-wing, pro-Trump commentators including Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson and several others.”
They claim to have been duped yet they’re still keeping the money and still pushing the propaganda. Seems legit.
For those unfamiliar with that incident:
On April 9, 2017, at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, four paying customers were selected to be involuntarily deplaned from United Express Flight 3411 to make room for four deadheading employees. One of these passengers was David Dao, 69, a Vietnamese-American who was injured when he was physically assaulted and forcefully removed from the flight by Chicago Department of Aviation Security officers. Dao, a pulmonologist, refused to leave his seat when directed because he needed to see patients the following day. In the process of removing him, the security officers struck his face against an armrest, then dragged him – bloodied, bruised, and unconscious – by his arms down the aircraft aisle, past rows of onlooking passengers. The incident is widely characterized by critics – and later by United Airlines itself – as an example of mishandled customer service.

Google Voice is much easier. Just enable the settings for voicemail transcription and an email sent with the transcription.
But then you have Google listening to all your calls. It’s a tradeoff
To be fair the ‘dystopian’ quote is from the guy that got broken up with, not ARS’ article writer.
I don’t think that’s the part they took issue with.

Yes, OpSec is more or less important depending on your threat model.
intensive surveillance on US citizens from at least 14 countries.
For those unfamiliar with the reference:
TL;DR: some countries make it unconstitutional to spy on their own citizens. They get around that barrier by spying on eachother’s citizens then sharing the info they find.
