> If it is then I have a 5th amendment right not to.

No, you don't. You have a 5th amendment right not to incriminate yourself. That means:

1. You must have committed a crime, which is not a given in a traffic accident.

2. You may not be coerced by the government into incriminating yourself. You are not protected from your property incriminating you. Imagine how absurd a world that would be: the government couldn't use a bloody knife as evidence of a knife attack because the knife was owned by the attacker.

Importantly, you'll also note that if you try not to provide evidence against yourself in civil discovery, you'll end up in a world of shit involving contempt of court.

> Taking something without paying for it is theft.

You keep using the word "theft". Let's grab the definition of "theft" from a legal dictionary:

> Theft is the taking of another person's personal property with the intent of depriving that person of the use of their property. Also referred to as larceny.

The intent of depriving another of their property is a key element of theft. When one receives a copy of data, no one is deprived of their property. It's substantially similar to how I can not steal your car by taking a photo of it.

Not only that, but the typical intellectual property industry nonsense of referring to unauthorized copying as "theft" does not apply. Google, who have acquired a right to distribute this data, are serving it to you.

> You can get into whatever legalize [sic] you want but that doesn’t change the fact that you are doing what the vast majority of people recognize as the common definition of theft.

The legalese matters because it's the best way we've come up with to consistently reason about topics like this regardless of shared values.

There is no theft happening in the case of blocking ads.

Your claim about "the vast majority of people" is patently absurd -- because you have not provided and almost certainly do not possess any evidence to substantiate it -- and lacks a basis in fact. Regardless, we do not reason about these things based on the fluctuating opinion of the masses. There is no case in which blocking ads meets "the common definition of theft".

Oh wow. I seriously considered working at comma (the company I believe George Hotz is referencing in that post) once. After reading "[Elon Musk] […] had all the same ideas as me", I feel like I dodged a bullet.

Here's the command it sounds like you're looking for:

`journalctl --grep="search string"`

You can limit it by time period like this:

`journalctl --since=-6h --grep="search string"`

Note that there's a separate user journal (such as for things that show up with an indication in the systray), accessible like this when in a shell as that user:

`journalctl --user --since=-6h --grep="search string"`

Also, if you really want, SysV still exists and works. You can setup a system with SysV and syslog-ng and have the good ol' service run system and flat log files back.

Do you think autistic 17 year olds should be restricted in their ability to access the world's knowledge, as compared to their allistic peers? How do you envision that working the next year, when they're 18 years old? More broadly, how do you justify blaming the parents? Do you figure companies should be allowed to market a service to teenagers (or the general populous) which suggests they harm or kill themselves?

What do you think these parents should have done differently in parenting their 17 year old, autistic son?

I'm not aware of an instance of DMCA bullying resulting in the claimant being held responsible. Do you know of any?

Have you found a better alternative?

I'm trying to center around MQTT, myself, but looking for a way to use many of the wonderful integrations created by the Home Assistant community. I'm also trying to find a good solution to "react to state changes".

> and there is literally no way of fixing that.

This is obviously incorrect from a quick glance at history.

Long distance travel in the US used to occur primarily by train. Short distance travel used to occur by walking and streetcar.

Now, with suburban sprawl (a relatively recent phenomen), we have something we could call medium distance that is filled in some areas by light rail.

We now also have other options for very long distance travel: aircraft.

I played several dozen hours of HELLION with a friend. I wish that game had made it to completion.

That is incorrect. This is not the only legal way to design this.

I own a Volkswagen ID.4, also an EV with electronic door handles. The door handles also function as the mechanical emergency release. When the handle is only slightly pulled, the electronic release opens the door. When the handle is fully pulled twice, the mechanical release opens the door. The car also has (electronic) child safety locks, and is legally sold in the US.

D'oh. In my tiredness, I misread it as freezing them receiving data, but now I see it's like the other firms, where they continue to receive and store data but stop honoring requests to share it.

I wish I could opt out. Unfortunately, my company refuses to provide such information except through The Work Number. So, the next time I apply to rent a home, I'd be out of luck with income or employment verification.

> Values such as the ones the US was founded on: things like individual liberty and deep distrust of governments,

While I can relate to the deep distrust of governments and have a strong belief in individual liberty, I don't understand the connection to homeschooling. Could you elaborate?

> particularly governments wanting to indoctrinate children. And governments have done plenty to earn such distrust.

Do you have any evidence of US public schools indoctrinating children en masse? I find this a rather extreme claim that I am unaware of convincing evidence of. Thus, I'm a position where, as a rational person, I must assume that the two most probable situations are that the claim is either false or I am woefully ignorant, and that I am ill equipped to engage with this without further exposition.
