Your dash cam records audio inside your car.
Many dash cams default to recording both video and interior audio. Conversations about work, arguments with passengers, phone calls on speaker, and anything else said in the car gets captured alongside the footage.
Most dash cams default to recording interior audio. Every phone call on speaker and every argument with a passenger is captured alongside the footage.

Real fuck you money doesn't ask permission from exchanges,
doesn't report to the IRS, doesn't get blacklisted by Chainalysis,
and doesn't care what any government thinks about your transactions.

First they KYC'd your bank.
Then your crypto.
Now they want to KYC your phone line.

Basically, it really pissed me off that I HAD to use an app for my thermal printer, so I reverse engineered it, and made GhostLabel, in Rust.
It might or might not work for you, I dunno.

Dylan, useful idiot with commit access, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu & Arch,
got 2 Microslop employees to merge it, called it 'hilariously pointless' in the PR itself,
then watched Lennart personally block the revert after community outrage.
Unpaid compliance simp.

Section 24220 puts sensors in your cars start button that read your blood chemistry and decide if you're allowed to drive.
It's for your safety. 🤡

New York Times couldn't innovate, so they sued the future.
Now a federal court forces OpenAI to store EVERYTHING you've ever typed to ChatGPT.

When this database gets breached (not if), it'll make Equifax look like child's play.
