One of the many reasons why I lost all faith in a person when I realize they're a conspiracy theorist.

The goddamn government tracking plans are on fucking wikipedia and they're worried about chips injected in a vaccine from some twitter shitpost.

Yeah, this was an actual secret conspiracy for over 20 years, though. This is an example of a real collusion between global governments and corporations to track members of the public.

The conspiracy people who post on Facebook are the ones that make me laugh, they'll post about shit like 5g and Bill Gates microchips.....on Facebook...while posting what they ate that day....no one needs to track you secretly when you post literally your every minute of your life.

So the yellow dots became public knowledge 20 years ago, and other than a one liner that other tracking methods may exist, nothing about these other methods seems to be published. Surely the three letter agencies haven’t given up on tracking.

I have another question as to why we don't have an open source paper printer.

No market for it. Printers have already become so fucking cheap to make that the manufacturers can't survive unless they overprice their ink.

I'm tempted to see if I can't get some old daisywheel printer running on a modern Linux machine.
