Amazon uses AI surveillance to monitor union risk in UK warehouses // Internal documents suggest tech giant collects ‘hundreds of data points’ for ‘union-busting’ AI model
Big companies have always used unionbusting activities. The reason why most transferrable fully automatic machine guns are owned by companies was because machine guns were used for union busting.

It's not funny, it's sad. The HIPAA releases to you sign gives permission to pretty much use you info for any reason whatsoever.
In the past, it was pretty much impossible to get your medical records.
Now that they are digitized, everyone and their uncle has access, legitimately or otherwise. Medical institutions don't hire the best to secure their data. It's all security theater.

AR15 shoots 223 which is a small cartridge,egal to use in some states because it is underpowered.
True, AR15 is less likely to be used to fight tyranny. For that, the award goes to the AK47.

Patient privacy best protected by a doctor's poor handwriting.
Back when giants ruled the earth, a snooper need to trek across the country, ask a harried file clerk for the file that hopefully wasn't lost, wade through a a foot thick folder, then hopefully decipher the doctors shitty handwriting before finding out about anything juicy. In any case, the file was burned in 7 years or so because the file room needed space.
Nowadays, any secretary can instantly access the data from a computer on the other side of the continent and the files are never purged.

What TV shows are absolutely worth watching?
Sopranos.
A complex look at the mafia. Main characters die. Tightly written. Very few filler episodes. Best final episode ever.

The "watchers" protected MLK's peaceful protest . Armed protectors.
Needed to prevent KKK from driving a truck or attacking the protest. Not part of protest but the KKK knew about it.
MLK gave the government a choice between MLK or Malcom X.
Guess who was chosen? Guess who is forgotten?

Every physician in the world uses Nazi data collected using the corpses of Jews. Most anatomy books uses drawings mad by Nazis. Just the swastikas have been airbrushed out. The data collection was never repeated.

TIL that in Taiwan in 1989, there was a movement called "Snails Without Shells" where nearly 50,000 people slept on the road of Taipei’s East District to protest the escalating housing crisis

MLK only succeeded because the powers that be had a choice between MLK and Malcolm X.
If Malcolm X wasn't a credible force, MLK would have been as effective as OccupyWallStreet

What TV shows are absolutely worth watching?
The Americans.
Not the best female fictional spy, the best fictional spy ever, male or female.
A show which makes an American root for the KGB is worth watching.

Gentoo is great. I can configure it exactly the way I want. I switched to it after redhat went enterprise and never looked back. Stage 1 install.
However, sometimes packages get out of sync an I have build problems that need to be diagnosed.
Sometimes some packages get deprecated & I have to redo my configuration.
Deprecating python 2.7 was especially fun.
Back in the day, manual config of x11 was needed and that was fun. Back in the redhat days, the x11 configuration was in multiple places which was confusing.
Sound still is erratic after the laptop goes to sleep.
I did a manual transition from X to Wayland and that took a bit of learning.
