Petroleum interests in schools

dimanche 18 juin 2017 à 02:00

Republican officials work with petroleum interests to fill schoolchildren's minds with petroleum. They have been doing this for decades, with the help of ignorant teachers that love to get any "educational" videos.

The children being mistaught today are very likely to die prematurely from the consequences of global heating, which seem headed to include disease, famine, and war. If that happens, the disinformation campaign described here will be partly responsible for killing them.

DUIs and proprietary software

dimanche 18 juin 2017 à 02:00

People convicted of drunk driving are being ordered to install additional proprietary software in their computers (mobile phones): specifically, the nonfree apps for Uber and Lyft.

The one for Uber spies on the user.

I wonder what the judge would do when the defendant has no mobile phone. I fear this judge might order the person to carry a mobile phone. Mobile phones' movements and usage can be tracked and monitored by absolutely anyone, so being required to carry one is a big injustice.

There are occasions when it is legitimate for a court to require someone to wear a tracker, but such an order should always be explicit, not camouflaged behind "always have a mobile phone."

Spying on students in RI

In Rhode Island, some schools think they have the right to spy on students with school laptops.

Let's not forget to mention that other companies, including Google, also think they have the right to spy on students.
