Kinda shameful to boast about a project designed to make it easier for 'authorities' to displace people who are just trying to 'live' some kind of existence.
Please don't justify it with weird edge-cases like 'oh but we can detect drug cartels' or some BS.. This is about forcing people to conform to a designed western capitalist modality that expects humans to be happy living as battery-farmed chickens..
* get an education so you start out life with an 80k debt so you:
* get a high tax paying job so you can aspire to:
* get a home mortgage for the next 45 years with a bank so you:
* support the system that funnels money and power to the few at the top.
This project is just another small rivet in the armor of that system which you should be fighting to de-construct not re-enforce.. wake up and realise you're building your own cage.
If I buy land to start a community on it of like-minded people who don't feel comfortable supporting an oppressive system that creates injustice then that's my business, when are software engineers going to realise we have an OBLIGATION to HUMANITY to refuse to create the chains that bind us to the wheel of oppression?? JUST REFUSE, it's OK! you can get a job elsewhere! You don't NEED to build another system for a company who makes money supplying the technology that governments use to keep their population compliant to the machine.
- slumpt_ 6y agoCompletely on point, but this community leans conservative/libertarian and will quite likely not see eye-to-eye with you on this.

- bonchicbongenre 6y agoI completely agree with you; thank you for saying what should be the obvious (but isn't, sadly).
