Is this also a consequence of allowing prisons to be privately owned?
I could totally understand a government owned prison, using prison labor for federal departments such as maintenance and landscaping etc.
As awful as this is, private prisons abusing loopholes as a way to make evem more profits, its hardly surprising

Was this something called ceefax or teletext? I vaguely remember hearing of someone using it to book a holiday when I was growing up

Some real digital history record keeping there! This stuff is so cool and is something we never considered with all those random memory cards we gave away and sold.
I’m so jealous.

I remember learning about this in the early 00’s but then the textbooks were saying about this newer memory technology which the world has moved to known as DDR! Makes me feel so old now 👵
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 6 months ago:
You wanna talk Chinese spyware, why are they not outright banning Temu? That’s a much better documented case of actually being spyware.
In terms of Tiktok being spyware, they are tracking users in much the same ways that every other big social media company is. Should other nations be worried about Facebook sharing that data with the US govt to produce psyops campaigns against foreign nations?
I’m against any country blocking access to things in the name of “national security” and providing little to no evidence on it. Its been done too many times to trojan horse in other malicious activities that governments want to do.

The older I get the more I realise how much I didn’t actually know about the world in my early 20’s, yet when you hit like 21-22 you kind of think you’ve got things figured out. I’m sure I’ll think the same when I’m in my 40’s
