  1. Does it deduct points from their 'social credit'?

  2. It's 450MB for Facebook. With the latest AAndroid update (to oreo) they also added the shitty Linkedin app.

  3. It might sound ridiculous to you but it is still using space on the phone's internal memory. And some people just don't want crappy bloatware on their phones.

  4. There is worse on Facebook's Android App Is Asking for Superuser Privileges, Users Say (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    The fact that the shitty FB app is preinstalled on many android devices (and cannot be removet without root) is far worse.

  5. But will they also return the tax money that was used to operate the satellites that took the pictures?

  6. Shouldn't they also prosecute the other 'motorist' who snitched on him, for filming with his phone while driving?

  7. Pff what a joke. Where I worked if you inserted a flash drive into your computer they sent in Droidekas to exterminate everyone in the room.

  8. From the makers of the Great Firewall... on Chinese Journalist Banned From Flying, Buying Property Due To 'Social Credit Score' (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The Big Brother is raising his younger siblings right. Apologize or go to bed without dinner. What a great prospect for the future. It always starts with 'bad' people and before you know it you are labeled a terrorist for expressing your opinion.

  9. Can't they just use roaches for all sicknesses? on AI Helps Grow 6 Billion Roaches at China's Largest Breeding Site (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    So they can stop exterminating african wildlife for thier tarditional 'medicine'.

  10. But the phones are an essential part of the dystopian nightmare.

  11. Too 'smart' to play mindless mobile games or scroll through social media all day, yet too dumb to do something useful with thier smartphones. There are countless tutorials. Learn a music instrument, lern how to paint, learn a new language or whatever you like. The access to that kind of information is easier than ever.

    You could say the same about NYC. So what's your point?

    Yeah, like rape doesn't happen in the US (rape cases on college campuses), like car rampages don't happen in the US (car rampages in New York and Charlottesville), like bombings don't happen in the US (Austin bomber). Nice try though.

    Irrelevant people doing irrelevant stuff. Don't give them attention. It's what they want.

  17. And how do you solve the waste problem..you know the stuff that'll stay highly radioactive for a couple of millenia or even longer? Do you make Homer Simpson eat it with a spoon?

    unlawful enough to be suppressed

    implies that there is a law that prohibits the act. That also implies that the law was made at some point in history under certain circumstances and for certain reasons. The majority of laws are not made based on scientific evidence but on the gut feeling and idealistic values of the people in power. If they would be based on science you would have to illegalize alcohol and tobacco. For human sacrifice you have to decide who is to be sacrificed and kill that person. That is not the case for drug consumptin. Hence, the consumtion of drugs only 'harms' the consumer, not other people. One could argue about the adverse health effects and the costs for society but then again alcohol and tobacco should be on the ban list too. And that leads to the aspect of colonializm. In the Americas the prohibition of hallicinogens was introduced by white colonizers, who at the same time introduced alcohol to Native Americans. Alcohol was a part of European culture for centuries so was the consumption of hallucinogenes in the Americas but somehow white people thought only their tradition matters. Just becaus something is the law doesn't mean it is right or should never be changed.

    just plain "respect the law"

    The Germans who participated in the Holocaust were acting according to their laws too.

    Then they'll invent an RFID chip that goes in your butt to check if the stuff comming in matches the stuff comming out.

  21. After Vad poisoned that double agent guy the Brits are not having it any longer. The'll go after everyone with ties to the Russian government. So yes, it was the logical consequence.
