Oh hey, overt “mark of beast” stuff.
Let’s see if the evangelical pearl-clutchers pour out of the woodwork when one of their tribe does it.
Haha! So true.
What’s funny is that even the craziest end times type of xtians that believe that shit will still carry a phone with them everywhere. I used to have fun with a few of them that I know of pointing out that, hey, they pretty much need it for everything now, what do you think that means, hmmm?
They try that “but but but it’s not the gubbermint doing it! It’s the private sector.” and I ask - who do you think runs GPS satellites? :)
It’s a sliding scale for these people. Used to be these types would point at Social Security numbers and claim that was the “mark of the beast”. Then it was credit cards. Then it was UPCs. Then RFIDs. And now they carry phones with NFC on virtually every single one of them, along with a GPS tracker, LOL.
And now we have systems that can track people by recognizing their gait and their face, as well as other biometrics. There are things reading license plates. So does it even matter what you might carry on you, or not, at least if you live/work in certain cities?
Fuck you in the neck, RFK.
A Trump supporter coworker won’t scan a QR code because he thinks it will hack his brain, but he is over the moon excited to get one of these health tracking devices.
I think out of all the freaks given positions in the regime, this asshole will do the most harm, kill the most people and cause the most suffering over the longest time span – and that’s saying a lot.
so microchips in vaccines are bad, but macrochips are good?
I still had to laugh at watching Bill Gates trying to process the wildly stupid notion of microchips in vaccines…watching him talk through it made it seem even wayyyy stupider that before, and it was already a very, very stupid thing.
Seeing his daughter react to some of that, as well…she’s a bit more socially aware, and much more cognizant of just how fucking stupid the typical human being can be when it comes to conspiracy theories…so she’s trying to rein him in from saying something the slack-jawed yokels are going to point at and go, “See! I told y’uns! It’s awl troooo!”
This data will go to Palentir. Hell no
RFK Jr wants to make some money by selling health data to health insurance crooks
Why? Are all Americans going to get health care to make use of that collected health tracking data?
So I’d been considering getting a used smart watch with fitness tracking stuff and audio controls (I listen to audio books at work but have to pause fairly frequently), what should I be looking for to keep my data away from the ghouls? I know about the PineTime, how ready for less techy consumers is that right now?
So how many shares does RFK Jr have in Fitbit?
Google bought fitbit
Eric Migicovsky kills everything he creates.
No
How bout no
I would rather they would employ strong measures to protect any data related to such devices - with severe penalties to those that break the rules - including the revocation of corporate charters.
Indeed. I do believe that the key to better health is actionable information and a gameplan for how to maintain health. But with the Shitgibbon in office, and his merry band of miscreants running the show, I can’t determine if my smartwatch will give me good readings or not, and ensure that only I get to access that data, unless I explicitly choose to let someone else access it.
Indeed. I could see a day where people deemed “unpersons” (basically anyone not sufficiently worshiping the likes of Taco) would have their data swept up and weaponized against them by insurance companies, their place of employment, etc.
Or have their devices bricked, etc…
Even w/o the likes of conservatives and Republicans, Doctorow’s Enshittification comes for virtually everything, so…
RFK can drink me.
Is that another way of saying he can chortle my balls?
That’s probably a great way for a very confused brain worm to infect your balls.
Don’t make our environment healthier but do keep tabs on how unhealthy you are made.
