I would say that one has as much responsibility to society, as that society accepts for the individual.

As a previously homeless veteran, I'd say that is zero. Why should intellectuals, or in fact anyone have any duty to help a system that doesn't help them?

Now I know a lot of people will grandstand and say that if people just started taking on responsibility, then that would improve the system so that it would help more, but again, I did my part and was promised to be taken care of by society with its fingers crossed behind its back.

They are helping society not the system. They might fight the system. There is no ignoring, thats supporting the system. There is no silence, the system can produce fake intellectuals. There is no hiding, the system must pursue the individuals because its the ideas that need dying. The intellectuals are pursued even after death.

IMO the issue is not propaganda at all, but real physical problems that are not being addressed.

Western governments have been mostly incapable of building housing and infrastructure. We have a severe housing shortage, barely improved public transport since the 80s, a lack of energy production (in Europe), lack of reservoirs, an aging population and increased international competition, etc.

And this all creates a huge pressure for ordinary people, just housing alone has a huge impact now - stunting the formation of families, and effectively taxing productive people to fund those who were lucky enough to buy the assets in the past.

I will agree but rephrase, they were not incapable limiting supply of housing or chinese imports or international information channels is the model. Artificial barriers, ethical redefinitions, rag pulling, tollboothing have been the way to divide and conquer to channel the decaying international and domestic market share to political affiliates. Most political , maga, lgbt, policing, race etc issues are highlighted and disproportionately promoted to noise out discourse about money. If money and safety is considered as a key factor of historical actions and current events, then countries grievances are eastbti explain. When I hear for the other side the media to claim “they went crazy”, “they are barbarian subhumans” I know I am being manipulated.

Voice typing is a cool feature, have you considered whisper wasm instead of OpenAI api?

Funny how I made almost exactly the same but for maps.

I needed a way to share a link to a map, with drawings and the ability for the receiver to see their own location on the map.

Annotated screenshots solves the first but not the second.

Vibe engineered this, with many of the same ideas as OP.

Took an evening. Just in time apps for one specific use case is a thing.

And because it's so cheap to make and can be hosted cheaply with no backend, it can be given away for free.

That is absolutely great! Using it now to plan a trip.

Could we also add text annotations? Also the delete button could delete just the last shape or a selected shape so as not to start over?

Given it was revealed that CIA specifically targeted 200million deals and above, it was political naivety amounting ti gross negligence on behalf of Airbus executives that it took them 10 years. Same for many other large organisations and countries, unbelieveable.

Why did it have to be Trump to make them take action?

>I personally know someone who ordered a laptop and an XYZ agency bugged his laptop (man in the middle) before it was delivered.

How did they discover it and what was the actual bug? Are you aware of Purism Anti-Interdiction service?

Link if anyone is curious: https://puri.sm/posts/anti-interdiction-services/

>FBI and DEA already used modified AirTags that won't notify anyone with an iPhone around to track drug dealers precisely.

Don't Airtags now notify the nearby user if they are being tracked? I have heard of airtags getting modded to remove the speaker but Apple bypassed this with software updates that alert you out of band(as far as I know). Your assertion would require government to have special Airtags that iOS ignores no?

The protocol is known, creating a tag that rotates IDs every hour should be trivial.
