Being the first known human to fully interface with a machine also leads to the discovery of cross-platform illnesses.
You are the first human to experience the effects of a backdoor trojan firsthand.

Yo, don't Doink on Doink. He was Doinking his best.
Can you name all of the actors that played Putties in the original English run of Power Rangers from the 90s?
See, I can set arbitrary, movable goal posts, too.
It doesn't work that way. FBI documents remain classified for 50 years before being accessible to FOIA. That means that we don't have the means to confirm culpability outside that 50-year window.
I can throw names at you. But here's what I know will happen in response. You will either;
A) Claim the person was not innocent. Despite conflicting claims, they either had a weapon, attempted violence, whatever. So they deserved to be murdered.
Or
B) The situation is not clear. Nobody was outright blamed. Details are fuzzy. Investigations were inconclusive.
Regardless of what I post, the outcome will never be "Wow, you're right. I guess law enforcement does kill innocent people without impetus sometimes." You will always move the goal posts and claim that I did not meet your burden of proof. Because you're arguing ideologically in bad faith. And since I'm not a fucking idiot, I'm not going to waste my time.
And if you want to say that you are, in fact, arguing in good faith, then my rebuttal is simple;
I'm not doing your fucking homework for you, Billy.
And everyone knows that the FBI was never involved in the extrajudicial killing of an innocent dissident besides that one time.
It goes beyond that.
With Saudi Arabia leaning increasingly towards BRICS and being more erratic in its support of the West, Israel is the last firm diplomatic beacon and region of influence the US has in the Middle East.
It also just so happens to be an apartheid state.
Even if public opinion sharply turned on Israel (it won't), the US would still hold firm in supporting it. Not because it's obligated to Israel or even because of sunk-cost fallacy. But because it would remove any chance of the US playing a part in regional hegemony.
I moved outside of the US and Facebook is the only way that I am able to keep in touch with the majority of my friends and family back home. Also, in my current country, it hosts the majority of business pages and local communities. Getting rid of it would severely impact my ability to function in socioeconomic contexts.
But Twitter and Reddit? Fuck 'em. Fediverse all the way.
Effective protest means accepting going without and inconvenience.
In an instant gratification society, that is anathema.
lemmy.one reading you loud and clear.
Fiduciary responsibility means maximum exploitation in all cases, all of the time.
Capitalism would look really different if it were ever satisfied with some of something, rather than all of it.
Put all your libertarian homies on watch. They're grieving right now.
