Just to give everyone a reality confirming dose of ... reality...

Yes, yep, he has been saying, quite specifically the phrase 'on day one' since at least July of 2024.

Good info, but dear god what is this fever dream nonsense clipart/facebook boomer graphic?
The very early biohacking scene did indeed have a lot of insanity.
A few people definitely learned the hard way that uh, oh, maybe I shouldn't have made an incision right there, now I have permanent nerve damage.
As for your own at home setup... yeah, you are what I would consider 'someone who actually knows something about cybersecurity', as opposed to the vast majority of morons who just read a buzzword or some corpo nonsense marketing and then proudly proclaim its all fine and secure because big corporation that makes a baffling amount of money from dataharvesting would never lie to me!

What is this goddamned clownworld timeline we live in where David fucking Brooks is calling for a mass revolt, a literal insurrection, against the pinnacle, ultimate form of what he and his ilk have advocated for and done their level best to make a reality for longer than I've been alive?
I mean... at this point, fuck it, this is good news, we are gonna need as many bodies in the streets and feet on the ground, from as many backgrounds and persuasions of all kinds to have any chance at all of stopping this madness...
But Jesus Christ if this isn't the most 'Dog finally catches car and is disappointed' fucking thing.
Welcome to Lemmy, I love you!
... hey are the .world mods still banning people for celebrating the death of the United Healthcare CEO?
Last time I posted a picture of the Bear Jew (from Inglorious Basterds) and said a Louisville Slugger would make Marjorie Taylor Green finally see those Jewish Space Lasers in her eyes, along with a bunch of other people posting guillotine sharpening advice, that whole comment section got nuked.... that was maybe a week or two ago.
Yes, you can invent an alternate reality where the largely corporate controlled and decorum and norms obsessed Democratic party actually prosecuted everyone up to and including Trump...
... and also pretend that entire process would not be capable of being derailed by a few very Trump friendly judges... and a heavily conservative Supreme Court... that did not (in your alternate timeline) invent an insane loophole interpretation of Presidential Immunity that effectively makes it legal for them to commit any crime while in office...
Or you could accept the reality that none of that worked, the MAGAs outplayed and thus subverted the entire legal system, is now openly defying the Supreme Court irt illegally renditioning legal immigrants to an overseas concentration/death camp, that 'the law' (as in armed agents of the state) are now totally lawless and not even trying to follow due process or habeas corpus...
... and that this new reality doesn't play by the now broken rules that you seem to think will save us, and that ... ironically, more traditional means of dealing with an oppressive violent fascist junta should... maybe at least be able to be discussed in an indirect, non specific manner.
I used to mildly follow the biohacking scene a bit over a decade ago.
Lots of stories of DIY implanting an RFID chip into your hand or finger ... and mostly a whole bunch of stories about infections, a few about 'wait the battery died now i have to dig it out' ... basically just learning the hard way all the lessons actual medical implant designers learned 30 or 40 yeats prior.
For now, our cyberpunk dystopia is gonna be mostly low tech, inexpensive jerry rigged solutions with as little high tech as necessary.
Why do you think anyone that actually knows anything about cybersecurity laughs at the idea of having a 'smart home' filled with easily hackable or just self-bricking bluetooth doodads?
I saw a post a few hours ago about Seattle officially turning on its AI camera system.
People saying ah yeah, tear em down Seattle!
... these would in all likelihood be the same people that would have their phones on them while they do this, with wifi and gps and bluetooth all actively pinging out their exact identity and location to every nearby wifi hotspot/router and cell tower... and cop cars with a stingray device that acts as a mobile spoofed wifi/4g/5g man in the middle attack that sniffs all your data as it passes it back and forth to a real data source...
...unaware that gait analysis (exactly how you carry yourself when you walk or run) is a far more reliable way of fingerprinting a person than facial analysis, in the context of a surveillance system...
The simplest solutions are often the best.
Leave your phone at home, and get some glasses frames with bright IR emmitters. Not guaranteed to work against higher end cameras, but against most surveillance cameras? Bright enough IR light will just make you a giant glowing white spot.
Harder to do gait analysis on an amorphous blob.

That pistol he grabbed from the vehicle...
...was his Mom's old service pistol.
His Mom was a school resource officer and later deputized into the Leon County Sheriffs.

Yeah so this guy was trained to shoot by his armed-with-a-firearm, middle school guard / county deputy mom, and he then took his mom's service pistol to shoot up his own school/uni.
I can't find more details on the shotgun, but it could also be the case that that is or was a service weapon as well... but that is barely informed speculation on my part, I just know that a lot of US cops also have a shotgun in their cruiser.
