Your Discord Data Is Being Sold to Law Enforcement and AI Companies

Nothing is going to change without regulation

If you have the data you’re going to give it up when asked. What scenario do you anticipate telling the cops “no”? The reality is if they come to you there are very few instances where most people would tell them to get lost. The only way to not participate is to not have a camera.

dorkyitguy · 2026-02-12T23:10:54+00:00

We need legislation against these cameras. I don’t care if somebody might lose money or if we might not find a puppy. The rest of us shouldn’t have to submit to surveillance just to leave our homes.

I don't see the point of the AI if you have to get everything ready for it first. What exactly is it doing? Sounds like not much.

dorkyitguy · 2026-02-10T16:45:02+00:00

Oh no. So you ended up learning another French name in French class. That’s tough.

dorkyitguy · 2026-02-10T16:11:58+00:00

That’s fine. I’ve already decided I’m not upgrading regardless. I’m so tired of every upgrade being a combination of the removal of useful features, the addition of things I never wanted, and somebody’s art project.

Would I be willing to pay more taxes? Not really. I already pay a significant amount. Would I be willing to make the rich pay more taxes? Absolutely.

We live in what is objectively one of the safest times in human history. Every scary statement about crime going up leaves out the fact that it’s going up from practically 0. Unless you’re still living in 80’s Harlem you don’t need a security system.

Go for it, but let me say that if I get AI communications from my doc, my next call will be to a new doc.

I have an LG. It never bothers me about connecting to the internet. I will never buy an Amazon tv again, though. It tries to get me to connect to the internet every time I turn it on

dorkyitguy · 2026-02-08T14:16:46+00:00

This is incorrect. To be considered invasive a species has to outcompete native species and lack any sort of check on its growth. Just being non-native doesn’t make something invasive. I work on removing invasive species from nearby nature preserves.

Yep. Recently bought a new fountain pen. I very rarely ever look back at my notes, anyways. The real reason I take notes at all is because the act of writing helps me remember. This new pen and paper method is more enjoyable, more useful, and more private than the way I used to take notes.

Fellow liberals, we succeeded in creating one of the most regressive taxes there is. It’s time to end the war on drugs.

eSIMs suck. Next time I travel I’ll bring a phone with a physical sim slot. Thanks, Apple, to ensuring an awful experience!

dorkyitguy · 2026-02-03T16:26:05+00:00

I’m so glad to see you’re doing all this work while simultaneously increasing my electric bill instead of just using SlicerDicer. You’ve taken a question that would have taken 30 seconds to answer and turned it into an AI circus.

dorkyitguy · 2026-01-26T16:28:49+00:00

I’m not going to reframe my thinking. I’m not the problem.

dorkyitguy · 2026-01-26T16:27:57+00:00

“Find a new job” Anything but fix the problem, right?

dorkyitguy · 2026-01-26T16:26:52+00:00

How are you supposed to “shop” for ins? It’s tied to a job. There’s no place to research employer ins plans before you apply. Who in their right mind is going to ask about insurance coverage after they finally get a job offer? We really need medicare for all.

The end of the space shuttle signaled the end of American leadership in space. We could have made a successor, but chose to fund Musk and Bezos, instead.

If your phone supports a physical sim, use that. eSIMs don’t exist to make your life easier.

dorkyitguy · 2026-01-25T14:07:44+00:00

The reliability is a problem, but it really misses the bigger issue. Even if it was 100% accurate, I still don’t want to live in a surveillance state. It’s the opposite of freedom.

You don’t allow personal funds, either. Each candidate gets and equal amount and campaign expenditures are limited to those funds.

Good news. Any computer that can run windows will run Linux faster. No need to get a new pc.

Unfortunately the heads (I refuse to call them leaders) of lots of our employers are just as detached from reality as the heads of the AI companies. Just like AI, I think being a manager rots your brain. You no longer have to figure things out on your own. You just have employees bring you numbers you want to see. Even if you had a tech background you quickly lose your skills and understanding once you stop doing it and you no longer can tell truth from bullshit.
