No fate but what we make. You can put in the effort to keep your mind and your ears open. Absolutely worth it IMHO.

7·2 months agoI like people in theory
I guess if you wanna go off at people like that, I have to go through your links and point out that
- Providing services to a cyber warfare organization does not make one a cyber warfare company. I bet they contract out their cafeteria services too. The article specifically states the contract is for data analysis.
- Doing data analysis for target selection also does not make one a cyber warfare company.
- Data analysis is not cryptography. Also, my personal computer is encrypted. Am I a cryptographer?
- Receiving data from your customers does not make you a data collection company, and the article points out that the data is being collected by Oura. Compare that with the NSA who for example have internet backbone splitters installed at the major telcos, or put cell spoofers in cities.
Why is doing data analysis for unethical ends not enough?
Palantir is a data analysis company. Data analysis is just one part of what the NSA does. Other important functions of the NSA include cyber warfare, cryptography, and data collection. I have not read that Palantir does any of that.

World News@lemmy.world•What went wrong in Israel? A genocide scholar examines ‘what Zionism became’English
153·3 months agoHaven’t read the book, but the title suggests things could have been different. That something happened to make things bad. If that’s the argument, it is completely wrong. Israel could have turned out no other way. Extermination is the only possible outcome of a colonial ethno-state.

News@lemmy.world•Maine Senate candidate Platner says tattoo recognized as Nazi symbol has been covered
01·9 months agoDoes anything other than the style of the skull and crossbones of his ex-tattoo suggest that he is in any way a Nazi or fascist?


Maybe. Are you a homicidal AI?
