Frankly, I don't care if "hackers" get copies of how a Covid-19 vaccine works. It shouldn't be proprietary information in the first place.

This: "Software? Fusion360, Adobe Creative Cloud, John Deere tractors- a tradesperson can’t even own their own tools anymore. We’re all sharecroppers. Everything is rented." ... "Every single thing we own is being taken, put in the cloud, and rented back to us. Willingly. Because no one wants to know how to do anything beyond a narrow scope. We’re a world of carpenters willing to rent sharp chisels and saws rather than learn to sharpen them ourselves." https://xyzdims.com/2020/12/08/infinite-z-cr-30-aka-3dprintmill-creality-acknowledges-prior-development-commits-to-open-source-2020-12/

Saw an article on trust and autonomous devices that stated, 'hence, why we're supposed to keep our hands on the wheel of self-driving cars and follow traffic laws'. Considering how oversteering probably makes most accidents worse, this sounds like a bad premise. Maybe just having a steering wheel as placebo is the better tactic. On 'follow traffic laws', shouldn't a self driving car already do that?

"We, as a society, need to stop criminalizing poverty, addiction, and mental health issues - we need to stop sending people into institutions that we know exacerbate these and other issues. We can come up with other systems that are not born out of racist ideologies and capitalistic strategies to profit off of mostly black and brown bodies in cages. That is part of the effort of The Compost #Cooperative"
